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.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
