Now then lets see changes when he breaks the space masters' laws. He goes through many forms. How many does he get? Is there a limit like in doctor who ?
Also about the war that wiped out his race, I think that he didn't take part in it and left only to find out his race was destroyed and he felt such shame and grief over it that he could have done something but chose not to I think that is just an idea or that maybe his race was destroyed and so he destroyed the opposition, which are the blorgons or the cyber chaps.

Firstly there is no regeneration limit in DW, this was addressed in SJA. in IS I would think since the metamorphosis was introduced as a form of rehabilitation that it would be possible to do it an unlimited amount of time. Like the Inspector and the Sergeant, with the more metamorphosis' that one goes through the less effective it becomes in wiping memories. I could easily see there being a space master law that sets a limit to the amount of times they would allow one to go through the process before they would be considered unable to be rehabilitated.
I don't think we've settled on anything yet, but presently it was a "time wave" that wiped out the space masters not a war, per se. no one has really been able to elaborate on what the time wave entails that I have read anywhere.

Well first of all when the doctor randomly tells a person he has only met twice he can regenerate 507 times I think he was being cute because you add the numbers and you get 12. Also I think IS should get 30 forms to go through before he can't be rehabilitated but thats me, or maybe 50 forms.
I like the time wave thing though maybe it hit there planet killing them before they knew it and only a few officers were off planet when it happened thus making the inspector feel so down after it.
also what outfits do each of the inspector's wear? I also heard that Travis(11th inspector) is thinking of making him more like a blend of who and highlander so that got me thinking of that but not sure how he would do it.

I don't think we should set a number for the Inspector's regeneration limit, but we can imply that there are limits once his civilization is gone.

Quick question: Who came up with Kayaclasch as the Inspector's home world? I'm curious about the thought process, since it doesn't seem to be related to Galifrey, and a lot of the other elements were more obvious allusions to DW...

If the Space Masters, or Chrono-Barons, had no set morality, it could have been a civil war, as opposed to a war with the Blorgons, that destroyed them. The 'Time Wave' could be the result of them carrying the civil war into their own past, essentially eradicating the Space Masters at the possible dawn of their mastery of space-time.
The 'Time Wave' might have actually left Kayaclasch intact, and with a species intact, but having been derailed by the Temporal Civil War and the Time Wave, they never became Space Masters. This could add a bit of pathos to that part of The Inspector's history, as his planet and people still exist, but have been altered so much that he no longer has anything in common with them...
Whattaya think?

Thanks, cat. This could also mean that some of the Space Barons could still be kicking around, each assuming they were the last...
I could see The Operator having some kind of failsafe on his center of operation...

My theory is something along norse mythology, they tried to patrol the universe righting wrongs so much to prevent there own destruction. They even had a celebration when they finally thought they had prevented the event. So they gathered all the space masters to celebrate but a few were off planet including the inspector so the time wave finally came wiping out them and there planet. I'm still working on the time wave and what caused it. Probably a crime they thought they stoped actually created the very event they were trying to stop. Also I am writting up a inspector spacetime episode called "The future inspector" where the tenth inspector met a man who he thought was some nutty professor when actually he was a future incarnation of the inspector(played by Nicholas Briggs) |
