If Earth Had Rings
First off, they would be really pretty to look at. They would also dominate the sky in both night and day at exactly the same place as they would never rise nor set. And at night you would see the Earth’s shadow swing across the rings, like in the 4th photo here.
However, life would be very different on Earth if this were the case. Nocturnal animals would have a hard time being nocturnal, as the light reflecting from the rings would illuminate the night.
Because we are closer to the Sun than Saturn is, the rings would be more rocky than ice, making them less bright but still pretty bright. In fact, you would see far less stars at night (living anywhere other than the equator or the arctic circle) because of the light pollution and not to mention ruin most meteor showers because of that.
During the day the rings would block sunlight in certain regions of the planet creating wild weather cycles and effecting plant life as well. So basically, they would be definitely pretty to look at but they would also make a whole lot of things screwy.

Lord of the Tardis
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I think my favorite thing about this is if you start singing this along with the pattern, you have to say “THEY’RE TAKING THE TARDIS TO TRENZALORE LORE LOLOLOLORE”

Woman Time Lords can control the way they will look when they regenerate, while male Time Lords cannot. This was established in Classic Who, when Romana regenerated.
Also, the Doctor wanting to be Ginger is not about the hair color. In Gallifrey, the only ones to have red hair were the people called Heroes which were beings who were time-sentient (meaning they could see all of the time at the same time). So I doubt they will ever make him ginger.
This is all kinds of false. A) Because the Corsair regenerated into a female (The Doctors Wife) which means that gender doesn’t make a difference to the abilities of a Time Lord. B) It means that controlling regeneration appearance is not gender specific. C) A Time Lord can even regenerate into having two heads or none (The parting of the Ways). While The Doctor did say that the problem with regenerations is that you never know what you’re going to get (Castrovalva), Romana points out that The Doctor missed the classes on controlling regeneration appearances (Destiny of the Daleks, I think)
There’s also no evidence in any bit of Doctor Who lore about Gingers.
