My explanation for the Doctor being half human is that time lord DNA is bigger on the inside. So his DNA is half human and 1 thousand halves time lord.
Just had a horrible thought...

If Moffat is going to go anywhere near the half human thing then I'm going to need sedating.
This year I'm unable to view episodes until Sunday morning (job related). If any episodes go anywhere near "Doctor is half human" can someone please PM me a red alert on Saturday? I'd really rather not smash my own telly up if it can be at all helped. And my therapist would probably appreciate some advance warning.

But isn't it a trap? The Daleks tell the Doctor that they've put the Master on trial and would like to give him the box with the remains to dispose of properly, but this is just a way of smuggling the jelly-snake Master (a product of Dalek and/or Timelord technology?) on board the Tardis with a view to his causing a lot of bad things to happen once he's aboard. The cover story is the sort of thing that the Doctor would like to believe to be true, and he bites on the baited hook.
I have no problem with a half-human Doctor: from the start of the programme, he was effectively portrayed as human, though born in another time, on another planet (he has no problems with Susan's marrying a human, for example). That nice Mr Moffat has apparently asked something to the effect of "In what episode is it stated that the Doctor isn't human?" The best answer to this seems to be the TV movie, as "half-human" implies half-something else.

Right, The Doctor knocks River up.
She of course moves through time in more of less the opposite direction to the Doctor so she takes her baby to Galifrey to be raised as a timelord. Where he grows up to nick a Tardis and ... well we know the rest.
So the Doctor is both half human from his maternal grandparents and has timelord DNA from both River and himself. A true hybird
Hang a lampshade on bootstrap paradoxes into the season and you're laughing. Just a shame that when he had to come up with a first name they didn't use Rob or Ross
