THEORIES OF RELATEEVEETY - CRAIG OWENS & HA-HA


Tele-genetics are strong.  Exact replicas of DNA strands repeat often in the human race of Toobworld.  (Although often other characters might not see how similar certain characters are to each other.)

Exact likenesses can repeat in a family down through the ages.  We've seen that the Simon family tree had exact copies of brothers Rick and AJ down through the generations, back to the American colonial period.

We have such an example along the timeline for 'Doctor Who'.  

HA-HA & CRAIG OWENS

In 2010, the Doctor was stranded on Earth when the TARDIS left him behind, probably affected by the temporal rifts created by "The Lodger" who lived upstairs from Craig Owens.  So the Doctor moved in temporarily with Craig to investigate.


Over a year later, the Doctor dropped by again to visit Craig and found that he and Sophie now had a baby boy named Alfie (but who preferred to be known as Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All.)

I don't know if Sophie and Craig had any more children, but since Alfie was the only one who has appeared on our TV screens, we're going to focus on him as the progenitor of a lineage in 'Doctor Who' which had at least one echo of Craig Owens' DNA.

It's not a perfect resemblance, but 1,000 years after the destruction of the Tiberian Galaxy (by my estimate, at some point after the 60th Century), there was a soldier known as Ha-Ha.  It's not a perfect case of double vision, but the argument could be made that Craig Owens' DNA combination was reborn in Ha-Ha.

I'm not claiming that I came up with that theory of relateeveety.  Plenty of other fans of the Doctor noticed how much they looked alike.

Here's how somebody described it on a Reddit page:

One of the soldiers from Nightmare in Silver...

Was he the descendant (or son?) of Craig Owens? aka Was that supposed to be interpreted as Stormageddon?

"I've heard about the cyberman since I was in my cradle."

Just like Alfie had.
