The Doctor's Mother?

Russel T. Davies has brought a more humanistic approach to the Doctor over the five years he was on the show. He showed us a man that can love, hurt, cry, and even make some bad decisions.  This has been wonderful for the character.  Doctor Who has made some great leaps forward with some of this.  Now how human do you go?  What can be more human than seeing one's family?

I checked out Planet Galifrey today who seems to be saying that Claire Bloom is the Doctor's Mother.  I don't know how I feel about this.  We saw her in The End of Time as some unknown TimeLady.  There was nothing explained about her.  Is this cannon?  We see so much in the novels that seems to make little sense in relation to this.  I spent much of my childhood trying to discover then answer to the question that was made the title of the show "Doctor Who?"  I never really got it.  When I discovered the tales of "The Other" and "The Loom" I felt somehow cheated.  Do we need to know who the Doctor was really?  It seems the more I know the less satisfied I am.

For those of you who are not familiar with the story presented outside of the show there seems to be an odd theory floating around about the origin of the Doctor.  It goes something like this:

Rasalon, Omega and The Other were three great founding Timelords, kind of like the Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklyn and George Washington of Gallifrey. Then Timelords stopped having babies and giving birth to create themselves from what they called "the Loom"  It is said that "The Other" threw himself into the Loom and came out born again as the Doctor.  I have mixed feelings about that origin.  And if this origin is fact then how does the Doctor's Mother fit into that?  Are we going to throw out that concept completely?

One thing I liked about McCoy as the 7th Doctor was that he seemed to bring back more questions and mystery to the role.  I like the mystery of the Doctor.  How humanistic can we get and still retain that element of mystery?  If we can relate to the Doctor's past will he become more intriguing or less?

Let us assume for a moment that that was the Doctor's mother who was tuning in on Wilf.  I am still unclear as to what her role was in the whole thing.  Was she trying to save the Doctor or bring the Doctor to that moment?  Would something terrible have happened to the 10th Doctor if he remained the 10th Doctor?  Did she in fact save him from a more terrible fate?  Did she know that the Doctor would save Time and existence itself if he were present?  I have a feeling he would have pursued the Master with or without Wilf.  So why was Wilf needed?  I am really perplexed about some of this.
