The doctor was able to regrow his hand because he was in the first 15 hours of regeneration so if 14 was only alive for 15 hours before he got shot shouldn’t he have been fine anyway? Maybe that’s why doesn’t regenerate in the traditional sense and why he was able to keep his body and live on
For me it’s just the Marty style you mentioned, 14 gets better and older and then at some point just fades away and appears on the Unit tower as 15, don’t know how that will be shown, if it ever does, maybe just a line at some point OR maybe it’s just like other things in Doctor Who that have never be explained, being Half Human, The Watcher, the 3rd Doctor saying he’s been a scientist for thousands of years, the 1st Doctor saying he built the TARDIS, The hand of omega, things in Doctor Who just happen and not always explained for whatever reason
The bi-generation is a terrible idea. Tennant shouldn’t have come back and having the clothes regenerated was stupid (they’ve not made that mistake since the first regeneration) RTD is deliberately screwing up what worked over the years. It’s dreadful bad fan fiction. Since RTD brought the show back he managed to turn it into a lousy fantasy soap opera with an uncharacteristically humanised version of the Doctor. I’m so happy I grew up on proper Who the Classic version.
I still remember the original "Making Sense of BI-GENERATION | Doctor Who Explained" but now Tom Bowen has already rebooted that classic. Modern Hollywood, am I right?
My favourite Doctor is the 12th, but his debut was not a classic. I would rank it higher than here, but it wouldn’t be way up there. Similar to that the 7th Doctor is my second favourite Classic Doctor (3rd is my favourite), but his debut wasn’t great. Robot is fun, but it feels like a 3rd Doctor story with a new Doctor tacked on. It’s a good episode, but I’d rank it lower. However I agree completely on the #1 slot here. The Eleventh Hour is a great episode in and of itself. And a great intro. Smith WAS the Doctor after this.
Why do you guys always need the answers right away? The best part of the show is waiting and looking for the answers. People got so spoiled my constant new content and weak plot lines that they seem to have missed the whole point of the show. Can you not tell them they're leading up to a whole bunch of secrets? Maybe you guys should out your big boy pants on and be patient. Just like how all these nerds are quick to say there are plot holes period or maybe the story hasn't got into that part, yet.
I have been a fan of Dr Who since the first Doctor; William Hartnell.(to save you trying to work it out; I was born in 1957 and am now 67). All through the various series; we have hints and statements that the doctor is partly Human. Hints to the fact that one of his parents was Human; the other Timelord. We get a blatant clue as RTD stated that the female Timelord is meant to be the Doctor's mother. She was behind Rasilon. Note also she does the hands over the face like the Weeping Angels; that may become relevant later in the new series, We know from various sources that Rasilon held back the secret to unlimited regeneration for his own use and ends; and we have hints throughout all the series that others have had that secret; and the inevitable result of unlimited regeneration is insanity.. Got that so far. The key as to when the Bigeneration actually began was the War Doctor. He was transformed by The Sisters of Karn's mystical practices into the War Doctor... But that had a price to pay. He ended up wiping out both antagonists in the last Great Time War. That massive fateful act disturbed him so much he forced himself to forget. When the 12th and 13th Doctor force him to remember and go back and change events so that Galifrey is moved into a pocket universe. This could only happen because the Time War was not a fixed point in time. We know that the various time streams keep converging and crossing through each other at fixed nodes or fixed points. We get hints to that with the 13th Doctor not being able to make any difference as to the outcome of one scene; despite trying to. The events had to pay out as they were meant to. So presumably Rasilon bringing the Timelord's and Galifrey back to reality was not a fixed point but Rasilon trying to steer events to a new fixed point of his own creation... Madness I know. Any being that achieves immortality and is eternal always risks insanity from the boredom; you done everything, seen everything etc.( and all you're left with is the dumb "T" shirt). But t6he Doctor manages to put yet another spanner in Rasilon's plans The Bigeneration was always going to happen; it just needed a push and the Celestial Toymaker unwittingly gave it that push when he shot the 14th Doctor. Spliting the Human part from the Timelord part. Yes the 14th doctor is human; Ncuti's Doctor hints at that. And that fact explains the grave and decaying Tardis at Trancecore The 14th Human Doctor is the dead man in the grave. And as we know from various other media; a Tardis fixes to its operator for life. (Sorry for the length of this I'll wrap up in a bit). We know from leaks that The 15th Doctor is going to spend some time alone without companions... he's from 14th's future and therefore knows that there is another fixed point approaching. and it involves him and his future regeneration. Ncuti is leaving the series. What RTD has planned for that we'll have to wait and see. Maybe we'll see a Doctor from a parallel dimension that would tie in with the Time Streams nicely. Remember in past series the Timelords put a block on interdimensional travel; to avoid destabilising the whole of creation. So we will just have to wait. Modern fans have become conditioned to shorter series and snappy delivery... If they took the time to watch all the shows then maybe they'd be less aggressive about so called Cannon. The whole point of the show is anything can happen Time is malleable except for the fixed points. There got that off my chest; hope I've given you pause for thought.
12 +1 regenerating= fixed event 13 falls = finds future Tardis 14+donna = the Hybrid by Merging 15 trapped/ regenerates 16 = 1st TC. - created division universe. Fugitive = the last doctor -saved by past Tardis as 13 fell. All caused by The grand serpent = Rassilon
The sentence "There is no foresahdowing or buildup to bi-generation" at the beginning of this great video that I still want to look until the end, made me think that you missed the WHOLE foreshadowing that was the addition of the trans daughter of Donna, and the whole repetition of the sequence of words "binary" and "non-binary" back in the last episode of Donna Noble and now as she's returned. Maybe we can even say that Bi-generation is kind of the Time Lord's version of transidentity.... Very risky and cheeky way of talking about it but yeah, the doctor has two hearts, travel space-time and actually can transition to a whole additional different individual, not just change form. Just a theory of course
It’s SHIT and could be worked better if bi-generation was the doctor being split into two beings AFTER he regenerates from tennant. Eventually make one the valyard
I think being only 15 hours into his regeneration is what made the bi-regeneration possible that soon after regeneration the body can heal itself from pretty much anything i do like your theory
Am I the only one who hated Wild Blue Yonder? Let’s face it, this was bad, but the 2024 first season’s utter doggyness may mean the show needs a little break and a move away from Bad Wolf, RTD and Disney.
I've always thought they actually split with them splitting the TARDIS into two and with 15s line in the Devil's Chord was something like "the Toymaker tore their soul in half" personally I think 14 and 15 should merge back together kinda like the 4th Doctor and the Watcher or something to that affect because I'm not really a fan of both Doctors regenerating into different incarnations, but the "I'm fine because you fix yourself" line makes it seem like 15 is from the future but that doesn't make sense with the split TARDIS or his line in Devils Chord, also 15 being pulled back from the future doesn't really make sense to me
Hi There! Since the original was taken down, I was the guy who said this must have been what it felt like in the 60's when people watched the tenth planet for the first time. Since then, I have had a thought. In the Devil's Chord, the doctor tells Ruby that the Bi-generation tore his soul in half and that he couldn't go through that again. What if he can't regenerate until he is reunited with himself? Maybe his regeneration will be a thematic mirror to the 4th doctor's with the watcher. Instead of the spirit of the next doctor coming to join with him, he must embrace his past to move on.
