ICTDirect_Dave Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 If there is a 13 regen limit (and I think there should be for the storyline atleast) I'm rather looking forward to having Capaldi get all dark and twisty as The Valeyard, as we know he exists between his 12 and final regeneration

Capaldi is going to become a time lord version of Malcolm from "the thick of it" I can just imaging his sweary outbursts now 1
fiza Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 I watched Doctor Who and then later on watched World War Z and Peter Capaldi was in that playing one of the W.H.O Doctors. W.H.O Doctor to Doctor Who.
HaleStorm Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 I loved how the old grizzled war doctor treated Tennant's and Smith's Doctors like they were his children rather than future versions of his self too
6Foot2 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) If there is a 13 regen limit (and I think there should be for the storyline atleast) I'm rather looking forward to having Capaldi get all dark and twisty as The Valeyard, as we know he exists between his 12 and final regeneration That would also give them the problem of writing around how old The Valeyard looks now compared to Trial of a Timelord: The Valeyard: http://cdn3.whatculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Valeyard.jpg A more recent image of Michael Jayston: http://www.diamondmanagement.co.uk/images/uploads/artist-photos/michael_jayston.jpg Edited November 25, 2013 by 6Foot2
ICTDirect_Dave Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 I think they could pull it off. You can hide a lot under a black skull cap! Also if in doubt... Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey!
JJonas Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Hasn't the Master had more that 13 regens? Yes but I believe he stole his from another timelord.
ICTDirect_Dave Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Yes but I believe he stole his from another timelord. And then was brought back again to fight the Time War (presumably with a full set of regens)
sparkeh Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Hasn't the Master had more that 13 regens? Yes he has. In the episode The Deadly Assassin we learn that The Master has used up all his regenerations. So: He starts taking over other people's bodies instead of regenerating his own. In The Five Doctors The High Council offer The Master a new regeneration cycle in return for his help. In the movie he is back to inhabiting bodies so we don't know if her received the new cycle or used it up again. In the episode Utopia we see The Master regenerate so he must have got a new cycle or additional regenerations from somewhere. In the episode The Sound of Drums The Master says that The High Council resurrected him to fight in The Time War giving him a new cycle.
sted Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 not the most reliable source but anyway (contains SOME info about the christmas episode) Doctor Who Christmas spoilers: Matt Smith is final, Thirteenth Doctor, Steven Moffat reveals - Mirror Online
Theblacksheep Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Anyone see the five-ish doctors, thought this should been on normal TV instead of just the red button.. BBC - The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot

The Xmas episode is going to be interesting

E_G_R2 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 OK Trivial point but what was that Rabbitt, certainly not a 'watership down' wild type
Andrew_C Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 OK Trivial point but what was that Rabbitt, certainly not a 'watership down' wild type One of these perhaps? I've been disappointed with the last two Docs. Thought Ecclestone, and the stories, were much better. (Note; I watched Pertwee as a child!)
HaleStorm Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Didn't Tennants 1st regeneration use the regeneration energy from the severed hand in the tank though?
ICTDirect_Dave Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Didn't Tennants 1st regeneration use the regeneration energy from the severed hand in the tank though? Nope, he transferred all his regeneration energy into the hand as it was the same biology as him. Thus allowing him to remain as himself. Hence the hand and Donna having a Human-Timelord biological Metacrisis

(Note; I watched Pertwee as a child!) "The earliest authentic record of the Flemish Giant Rabbit occurred about the year 1860."[4]
Andrew_C Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 "The earliest authentic record of the Flemish Giant Rabbit occurred about the year 1860."[4]So? If the Doctor can travel in time...
Garacesh Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 I wasn't best pleased the Time Lords has laser guns. After the gauntlet-thingy in Tennant's final episode I much expected Time Lord weaponry to be much more.. Arcane. Aside from that, loved it.
ICTDirect_Dave Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 My theory on the weaponry was that they'd had their history mucked about with so much during the war that they'd been reduced to a more primitive (by their standards) state.
E_G_R2 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Thinking back to the Eccleston episod DALEK, primitive weapons couldn't get past the force field. I thought that the 'soldiers' had good power/laser weapons suitable for a soldier rather than fancy gadgets that nobility may have.
ICTDirect_Dave Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 I guess it's also worth noting that these were the galifreyan military and not time Lords as such. Only Time Lords get the good stuff and only they get to regen.
