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.

    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.

      Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
