Will Lorna Bucket Ever Be Seen Again
In 'A Adept Human Goes To War' nosotros are introduced to Lorna Bucket. Having one time met the Medico she joined the Church so that she might meet him again. When she does she is dying and realises the Doctor doesn't recognise her. The Doctor denies this claiming that he remembers anybody but after she dies admits that he doesn't know who she was.
This is a lamentable, touching scene highlighting that the companions we see on screen are the lucky ones. They are the ones that get the Dr.'s attention and for the nearly part survive.
Characters like Lorna, Katarina ('The Myth Makers' to 'The Dalek's Chief Plan'), Lynda ('Bad Wolf/Parting Of The Ways') and Rita ('The God Complex') are the unlucky ones who could have been a companion but the Doctor either failed or forgot about them.
There are several ways that this scene can exist interpreted.
THE DOCTOR LIES
The Doctor did meet Lorna merely actually doesn't call back her. The fact that Lorna almost instantly knows that he doesn't recognise her could be because it wasn't the 11th Doc she met. Knowing that he has since regenerated she understands that their encounter could be in his distant past.
The Doc has had many adventures and met so many people that information technology is understandable that he doesn't recall them all. For them it could have been the nigh of import day of their life while for the Doctor it could be an boilerplate mean solar day for him.
This does permit original PCs to be paired upwardly with past Doctors. They might consider themselves a true companion but if they were to run into a later incarnation that Doctor might not remember them at all.
IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET
Rather than an see in the past some incarnation after the 11th will somewhen observe themselves in the Gamma Wood and meet a young Lorna. This adventure would accept shades of his human relationship with River Song, where he knows her eventual fate.
This could exist an interesting adventure to revisit how the universe views the Doctor. Lorna's people considered the Doctor a mighty warrior. Would the incarnation that arrives there live upwardly to his fable or try to modify their perception of him?
Lorna says that she only met the Dr. once but she might still stop up travelling with him, only to have her memory wiped (just as the Fourth dimension Lords made Zoe and Jamie forget everything but their beginning take a chance with the 2d Doctor).
UNIVERSE REBOOT
By this point the universe has already been rewritten multiple times (more if the Kovarian Chapter did succeed in subtly altering history) so the Doctor that Lorna met might non be this version of the Doctor (that is he hasn't experienced those events).
Some Time Lords might not business themselves with such continuity problems, concentrating on moving forward, simply what if they decide to look back? Would this Doctor be satisfied that this alternative past version of himself did the best he could? Might he travel back along his own timeline to check?
This also ways that time travellers might encounter those who claim to have a past history with them when they actually met a unlike version of them. This could be the commencement clue a PC gets that reality has been rewritten.
LORNA IS LYING
Remember that this episode revealed that the Church building were carrying out a very long plan to plow Amy's daughter, Melody, into an assassin to kill the Doctor. Lorna could have been just some other part of their plan.
Rory quite rightly points out that Lorna is part of an system defended to eliminating the Doctor, reason enough non to trust her. Lorna could be brainwashed or have memories implanted to announced loyal to the Doctor, hoping that he'd accept her in (where she could either betray him or destroy the TARDIS itself).
Something went wrong and she concluded up sacrificing herself. You might play out an alternative version of events where she survives (just as Strax did) but for her true nature to be revealed at a later betoken.
The Church building might attempt to do the aforementioned affair once more, planting a potential companion in the Doctor'south path who also claims to take a past history with him. If the Church didn't vary their comprehend story this found might tip their hand by claiming this also occurred in the Gamma Forest.
CLARA MARK II
Lorna has a meaning impact on the events of this story. Due to her betrayal of the Church she saves the Doctor's companions and arguably the Doc himself as a result. She even gives River Song her name thanks to the quirk of her language.
Hither she dies to salvage the Doctor just what if the Physician were to encounter some other Lorna on another world? One that has no retention of the Md only ends up saving his life at the cost of her own?
This could mean that she is in a like state of affairs to Clara. At some betoken in the hereafter she too volition enter the Doc'due south timeline, saving multiple incarnations. Since 'The Name Of The Doc' might have been altered due to the events of 'The Time Of The Doctor' Lorna could take Clara's place in the new version.
Information technology also stands to reason that the Doctor will take to dice permanently at some point, leaving a time scar. As history is changed and the date and circumstances of this certainty keep altering there could be a continual influx of guardian angels protecting the Doc throughout his life.
THEY'RE ALWAYS BRAVE
1 truth that we tin can take away from this is that all of the Doctor's companions (whether information technology be a single gamble or more than) prove courage. He might not remember them but he can still hold them in high esteem.
Davros accused the Doctor of turning his companions into weapons but it could be argued that he makes them brave. It doesn't matter if they do ever encounter him once more, they were still heroes.
Lorna dies hither but her character and her actions suggest this isn't the beginning time she helped others. There could be countless people like her, who just met the Doc once, but have been saving the earth ever since.
This could be a good way to link characters together in a campaign that doesn't include the Md or other Time Lord. The fact that each one has previously met the Doctor means that they have the qualities needed to carry on his piece of work, alone or together.
