Quote from the Christmas Special:

CLARA: ?But you don?t die. You change ? you pop right back with a new face.?

THE DOCTOR: ?Not forever. I can change 12 times. 13 versions of me. 13 silly Doctors.?

CLARA: ?But you?re number eleven, so -?

THE DOCTOR: ?Are we forgetting Captain Grumpy? I didn?t call myself the Doctor during the Time War, but it was still a regeneration.?

 

So Moffett Is forcing a resolution to the issue now so future producers/story editors/whatever can just keep it going? Sounds good to me. :jump:

Then again...   2 things

 

1. Didn't THE MASTER have more than 13?

 

2.  We don't know what happened after River gave herself up - During "Let's Kill Hitler" ?    He may have originally had 13  but we don't know if her life force added a few .

 

Then again we still have some unanswered questions though....

 

Who is the parent of "GRANDDAUGHTER" from the first DR.  

 

Then also ...  remember ...   The second to third was a forced regeneration.. not to mention there are other ways of the story staying on the air.

 

And - we still don't know how the Doctor's timeline shifts after NOT destroying his homeworld?  

Then also - What if ... just a what if...   What we think of as the first is really not the first?   (They could rewind and reboot the series with new actors playing the Old roles)

 

Imagine if the Actor that played the first Doctor or the Second one from ... The time and space one (you know the history of the Doctor) after all we saw M.S. standing there...  that we spun the series back into the first from the last. Where we travel to Trenzalore then it resets his life to the begin...

The Master seems to have regained the ability to regenerate somehow - he was restored somehow at some point after the TV movie. Until that point, we'd seen him taking extreme measures to survive - often possessing bodies.

 

After 50 years, I doubt we're going to find out about Susan's parents. Unless Moffett thinks he can get a good story out of it, of course. I'd love to see Susan come back, and as a Gallifreyan, she wouldn't necessarily have to be played by Carole Ann Ford, although that would be a nice plus.

 

The 2nd to third was actually referred to as "changing your appearance" Maybe it wasn't a true regeneration at all? But I tend to think it is - Jon's always been treated as a distinct incarnation, rather than "2.1". Basically the writers hadn't standardized the term "regeneration" for "swapping out the lead actor" yet.

 

I'm thinking the Doctor's life cycle will somehow be reset, so that Capaldi will be biologically a "new" 1st Doctor but with the memories and experience of his previous life(s)

 

Or Moffett will come up with a totally unexpected resolution.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
