All time lords are gallifreyan, but not all gallifreyans are time lords. Gallifreyans are just those in the major cities that act as kind of the ruling class.
Originally Answered: Are all Time Lords as smart as The Doctor or is The Doctor an especially smart Time Lord? In actuality, no. By Time Lord standards, The Doctor is barely average. He belongs to the Prydonian chapter of the Time Lord academy.
In some audio dramas, it is suggested that Gallifreyans and Time Lords are separate evolutions, the species diverging at some point in history. However, in the show, rhe Eleventh Doctor explains that Gallifreyans all became Time Lords due to their exposure to the Time Vortex and the Untempered Schism.
The Time Lords are a fictional humanoid species originating on the planet Gallifrey, seen in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Time Lords are so called because they are able to travel in and manipulate time through prolonged exposure to the time vortex.
It is accurate to say that the Doctor is no longer born on Gallifrey and he/she is no longer a native Gallifreyan. But the Doctor is very much still a Time Lord. In the RTD era, he was the last Time Lord.
Theta Sigma (ΘΣ) is given as the Doctor's name in TV: The Armageddon Factor. This is retconned to be the Doctor's "nickname at college" in TV: The Happiness Patrol. The names ∂³Σx² and ΘΣ both contain the Greek letter sigma (Σ). The Doctor's real name was spelled as "d³ᓬx²" in Marvel Premiere #57.
The series 12 finale "The Timeless Children" (2020) reveals the Time Lords were originally members of the Shobogan race who were genetically altered with the genetic code of "The Timeless Child", a being that later came to be as the Doctor.
BTW, ALL THE TIME LORDS ARE DEAD (AGAIN)
But, all of those Cyber Lords are killed in the end, too. So, just like in 2005, with the Ninth Doctor, the Thirteenth Doctor is once again, the Last of the Time Lords, even though she's also the first of the Time Lords, too.
A regenerative 'cycle' consists of twelve regenerations, after which Time Lords are unable to regenerate. This means that the thirteenth incarnation of any Time Lord should be their last.
There is no known upper limit, we know that anywhere from 200 to 900 years can pass between regenerations but we have never seen a Time Lord regenerate who WASN'T mortally wounded in some way.
For a start, Time Lords have two hearts, a respiratory bypass system - enabling them to survive without breathing for long periods - and have low-level telepathic abilities. However, their physiology also gives them a unique ability, regeneration. Regeneration is the Time Lord's way of staving off death.
This means one Earth Year is 1.133971291866 Gallifreyan Years. So when the Ninth Doctor claims to be 900, he is actually 900*1.133971291866= 1020 Gallifreyan Years. 1020 fits in perfectly with the Doctor's age in the classic series! Hooray!
The colonists there speak of evolution "with each regeneration, with each new child born on Kreb." It seems to confirm the Time Lords do indeed reproduce biologically - and, therefore, that there really are Time Lord children.
Time Lords do still have real, squishy human-like bodies, so clearly still require sustainable links to the biological world as we know it. Given that Time Lords eat and breathe like we do, they should have similar metabolisms.
However, the most revered and powerful Time Lord, Rassilon, may still be at large.
Weaknesses: Sonic Screwdrivers don't work on wood or in deadlock seals (it's unknown if Laser Screwdrivers have the same weakness), Can only regenerate 12 times, Burning both hearts will kill a Time Lord before they can regenerate, A Time Lord can be killed before finishing the Regeneration.
(PROSE: Happy Endings) Female Time Lords were also referred to as Time Ladies, although the Master's first female incarnation Missy referred to the term as "old-fashioned". (TV: City of Death, Dark Water) Biological sex and gender could change from one regeneration to another.
Doctor Who has introduced its first black portrayal of the titular Time Lord in its illustrious 57-year history.
However, the great Time Lord Rassilon is supposedly responsible (for various, conflicting reasons) for giving Time Lords the ability to regenerate when they “die,” and to do so a dozen times, meaning that, barring accident or injury, a Time Lord can expect, across all his or her regenerations, to live for over 5,000 ...
So, the reason the Doctor can't meet these Time Lords isn't the same as the reason he can't meet the rest; it's just the usual Law of Time about Time Lords having to meet each other in proper linear sequence. Now that he's been to the end of their timeline, he can't meet them anywhere earlier in it.
Maximum number of regenerations in a cycle. In The Deadly Assassin (1976), it is established that a Time Lord can only regenerate twelve times, for a total of thirteen incarnations. This statement is later repeated in Mawdryn Undead (1983), the 1996 TV film and "The Time of the Doctor" (2013).
He was accompanied by other Time Lords, including two who were punished "like the Weeping Angels of old." The two punished Time Lords held their hands up to their faces in the same weeping position as the Angels, leading to a popular theory that the Weeping Angels are punished Time Lords.
Howard Tucker, MD, a neurologist of Cleveland, Ohio, is the oldest practicing doctor in the world. At more than 100-years-old, he has been in medicine for more than 75 years. He also became a lawyer at the age of 67. He offers five thoughts on lifestyle habits that can help hold off cognitive decline.
Clara is the future child of the Doctor and River who's had her memory erased. The two Time Lords must be up to something on their nights away from River's prison cell. In favor: See above for Moffat's fondness for reusing plot points with slight differences.
Throughout Doctor Who, there have been multiple reasons why the Doctor's name was never revealed. The sixth Doctor claimed it was simply because a human could not pronounce it, but the eleventh Doctor revealed his name was a signal that would bring the Time-Lords to this universe and restart the Time War.
