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.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By sikhwarrior · Posted

      I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.

      how about fixing the performance?
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
