10- I will accept that Jenny didn’t regenerate, if we also consider the possibility that she does have the ability to regenerate as a Timelord.

@mrjoe5292

Жыл бұрын

I don't really have an issue with Jenny but I feel like regeneration is more than just DNA. It's generally presented a a Timelord secret, and cloning tech doesn't seem to be all that rare. I don't think it'd be as easy as cloning a Timelord, cloning would get you a clone/offspring of that particular incarnation but not someone who can regenerate. I just can't see the Timelords making it that easy. Plus we know not all Galifreyans are Timelords, and as far as we know only Timelords regenerate so presumably it's not an inherited ability, assuming Timelords aren't some sort of exclusive ethnic caste of Gallifreyan (and all of this ignores the explanation that they are created in looms exclusively). It's possibly some sort of energy infused into an individual; in the case of River being conceived on the TARDIS that seems to have been enough, even with no Galifreyan DNA. And we see the Timelords grant the Doctor a new regeneration cycle. It doesn't seem like genetics so much as Timelord witchery/science, even if genetics play a part. I like to believe they're somewhat like Jedi, choosing promising youngsters and enrolling them at the academy, infusing them with the ability to regenerate and exposing them to the schism at a young age. It would also further explain the Doctor's less-than-reverent feelings towards them.

@@mrjoe5292 well, I see a few problems. If the Chibnall era stands, The Doctor is not even truly Galifreyan but in actuality the Timeless Child, by which the elite Galifreyans learned to become Timelords. Therefore Jenny isn’t a clone of the Galifreyan timelords but a copy of the Timeless Child. Let alone I am not a fan of that twist, but there’s that. Even that not withstanding, if Jenny had gotten her DNA from a non Timelord Galifreyan, then your argument would make sense. However, Timelords are exposed to the Eye of Harmony or the untempered schism which evolves them (changes their DNA). We have no reason to assume that what makes River a “Timelord”, having been conceived near to a time vortex, is not just as possible with a clone of someone changed by the the actual Eye or schism.

One possible explanation in my head at the moment is that Jenny understood that her death was going to bring peace between human and hath and so she decided not to regenerate in order to ensure that peace. But then 'The Source' allowed her to come back to life, without using a regeneration and changing her appearance (an alternative explanation is that, she was 'too much like the 10th Doctor' (who used his 'handy spare hand' to regenerate without a change of appearance) in that she didn't want to change and so used 'The Source' to survive the gunshot rather than a full regeneration) .

The 2021 season was also quite short, even still a bit short after counting the 2022 specials. Point is, to say that the show ran in a year like 2019 when the only episode of the year was on January 1st, and is officially recognized as a part of the previous season, doesn’t accurately represent reality. I can’t speak for the state of the classic show, because I have little experience with it and don’t feel like sorting through air dates, but I imagine it would have had some similar struggle keeping to a schedule.

Although I understand that not all Galifreyans are Timelords, it's easy to mistake because it's not just the fans that use them interchangably. Many show writers seem to forget this distinction, seeing as how often Timelords refer to Timelords as a race, ignoring any distinction between them and non-Timelord Galifreyans.

Like with basically every story, there are theories about possible inspirations and aspects amalgamated into the story we know, but none are more than theories. Most scholars seem to dismiss these theories altogether. What we know for sure is that the Brothers Grimm published the story we know today in 1812, in German, in Germany. Sure, Germany at the time didn't look the same, but name any European country that did. In 1812 "Germany" was the confederation of the Rhine, which is like 80% of Germany today. I'd say that's good enough. So as far as the facts concerned, the authors are the Brothers Grimm, the original language is German, and the country of origin is today's Germany.

Regarding the spare set of clothes, if the first run through isn't the first cycle then we can imagine the Doctor deciding to run through naked on one cycle to leave himself some clothes for later.

Excellent point

I don't consider the timeless children canon, so I don't really give a crap what the episode says.

While mainly right about Grade/Powell and Cregeen- the Unholy trinity, it was Grade who got the ball rolling when the show was 'rested'. So he instigated the whole thing. The behind-the scenes book Regeneration by Philip Segal and Gary Russell sheds a more interesting light on the subject- that it was a combination of things that led to the cancellation and well worth a read.

There's no getting around the fact that at some point, the Doctor left his clothes, without having a replacement.

5:08 "...and no, it isn't mirror mirror on the wall-" Yes. Yes, it damn well is! The only version where it's "magic mirror on the wall" is the Disney version. *LITERALLY EVERY OTHER VERSION EVER WRITTEN,* including the original German version written by the Brothers Grimm, themselves, had it mirror mirror on the wall. Well, okay, technically, the German version was "spieglen spieglan an der wand," which more directly translates to "looking glass looking glass on the wall," buuuuut, close enough.

Just seeing the actual prop moving up and the lighting of the scene being dark made it all the more terrifying. I always dislike when people said they did it for the first time in 2005 as it doesn't give credit to the people that did it back in the 80's with limited resources.

You can add that to the list of things people get wrong about Doctor Who. It has NOT, in fact been running for sixty years. It started nearly sixty years ago, BUT that's about the limit of the six decade connection. The original show actually ran from 1963 UNTIL 1989. With the exception of a single story movie in 1996, Doctor Who did NOT in fact, return to television until 2005, and has been running continuously since. The show has actually had a non-consecutive FORTY-THREE year run in all.

Nah! They can... The Correct Term is DIMENSION - Mainly as teh TARDIS generally travels RELATIVE to where it currently is... Ergo, If the Doctor Landed in Sherwood Forest in 1806, and had to fix events in that time period in that Particular Dimension... The TARDIS could NOT hop to a Similar Dimension to try and influence the Events in the Dimension it just left... ... This is actually discussed in DOOMSDAY - When the Doctor talks about the Rift that Torchwood has been messing with, How Timelords are FORBIDDEN from Dimension Hopping - What he ends up doing should NOT be possible! Under timelord regulation - ONLY RELATIVE DIMENSIONS can be reached, So direct Neighbours which do not deviate from the main timeline... ...IE: The doctor lands and there are Daleks ready to kill him! The TARDIS CANNOT JUMP to a Similar Timeline in an Alternate Dimension where there are NO DALEKS! That would Deviate from the Main Timeline too extensively and cause a Rift... It could however Jump to a Neighbouring Dimension where the Daleks are maybe slightly late to witness the Doctors Arrival! Yeah that was a long winded and over complex "Theory" but that works!

In some of the classic Who stories the Daleks had anti-gravity technology, like the " lift " shafts in Planet Of The Daleks, so the only thing I can think is, that the forth Doctor's escape in Destiny Of The Daleks, is the cause of the staircase joke. But the reason the Dalek can't chase him, is because the ceiling is too low, for the Dalek to follow and the Dalek's gun can't get up at the right angle to hit him. The cause of the Dr Who debut versus the Kennedy Assassination, actually comes from the BBC postponing programmes in a mark of respect, including the first Dr Who. Tasha Lem is clearly one of many girlfriends, because the first Doctor romanced an ancient Greek woman, so his wife, Susan's grandmother clearly was either dead or they were divorced, or separated.

Namely when David Tennant lost his hand in The Christmas Invasion! Yeah, People forget that one... So NO I can 100% accept Jenny did NOT Regenerate - It was the Source, but it does not mean she CANNOT REGENERATE! There are some others I have thought of Fans and Non-Fans get wrong - EARTHSHOCK is a good one... Why didn't the Doctor use the TARDIS to save Adric? There is a very simple explanation... He couldn't! Fans and Non-Fans always make teh mistake of thinking the Doctor can Pilot the TARDIS when in fact he TRIES but is only "Half Capable" - Not only is teh TARDIS Sentient to a degree and makes it sown decisions... LOOK AT THE CONSOLE!!! And yes, while never bought up regular in show... This is 100% CANON! A TARDIS is supposed to have at least 3 Pilots, Preferably 6!!! Each TARDIS is supposed to have a crew of 3 to 6 people to fly it... That is how Timelords negate the will of the Semi Living Machine and make it do what they require... But the Doctor STOLE his TARDIS... He does not have a full crew, and the TARDIS itself can therefore influence where it wants to go and where it believes the Doctor Needs to be against his wishes! Wait!? Am I saying that like the fans the TARDIS Hated Adric? No... Nothing like that! We all know TV Shows and Movie shave Dramatic Tension - So Adric's Final Scenes which seem to drag out - Much like Captain Jack when he almost dies and is saved by the Doctor at the last minute in The Doctor Dances probably lasted MERE SECONDS in Universe... The TARDIS simply could NOT allow such a rescue as it would have placed itself in Danger - While it is a fantastic and Amazing Machine, It's not impervious... Nor is it's Time Travel and Dimension Hopping abilities perfect... It takes a short amount of time to Land / Launch and is Vulnerable during this time... For the show, We see time dragged out as that adds "Dramatic Tension" - But in Universe - Saving Adric was IMPOSSIBLE even with the TARDIS... And I just realised I answered TWO in one Comment!

There is actually more evidence onscreen to prove his name *is* Doctor Who. Never mind WOTAN, the Doctor signs himself as Dr. W, and refers to himself as Doktor Von Wer when adopting a German persona, both in the early Troughton era. And then there's the credits on 566 of the show's 870 episodes, and "Doctor Who And The Silurians" on 7 of those, and The Death Of Doctor Who, Next Week: Dr. Who And The Savages, etc... And all those knowing looks and in-jokes whenever the phrase "Doctor Who" is uttered in the show, particularly in the Matt Smith era. By contrast, there is no evidence whatsoever to prove that his name *isn't* Doctor Who.

The Doctor had to leave his clothes the first time without a change for a couple reasons. First , if he didn't there wouldn't have been a change for the second time through, and thus every subsequent time. Second, he did the Dial the same every single time. That was the whole point of the show. I know Moffat wrote the damn thing, but sometimes I think he has a tendency to blame his own shortcomings as a writer on the fans interpreting it wrong.

Most of these are fake rumors I had never heard to begin with. And I never used the wrong name for the TARDIS (nor does it roll better on the tongue, tbh). As for #10... I'm pretty sure the mistaken assumption is only in this video. Jenny wasn't a Time Lord. Therefore nobody ever believed she would just get up and resurrect herself. Everybody who saw the episode *SAW* that it was the terraforming energy from that place that helped her. This was never in doubt, no need to rewatch it frame by frame. *However,* what people assume is that the terraforming thingee *kickstarted* Jenny's partial Time Lord DNA, and allowed her to regenerate, hence why you see the typical golden regeneration effect *besides* the green thing. Therefore, it was a unique combination of factors. Something similar happens in "Let's Kill Hitler", by the way, with enough energy being given to the Doctor to keep him alive. Sure, it is an assumption, but assuming that "no, that thing can resurrect anyone" is also an assumption. Just a worse one.

10 isn't 10, he's 11 and 12. We had the War Doctor between 8 & 9, so War Doctor is 9. That makes 9 actually 10, and 10 actually 11. Then Tennant's Doctor regenerated, though without changing his face, in Journey's End. He still used a full regeneration though. He said himself he used enough energy to heal himself, and channeled the rest into his spare hand. So the energy was all still used.

With time travel, could even be both as there are more than a few literary precedents: Heinlein's "All You Zombies" (2014 film "Predestination") where four characters were/are the same origin person and David Gerrold's 1973 novel "The Man Who Folded Himself" where (SPOILERS!!!) pretty much everybody is variations of the lead character, Daniel. Interjection: nifty perspective shift after the narrator we had been following becomes paranoid of his other selves gets killed... and another Daniel takes over telling the story after explaining why he killed his paranoid counterpart.

Ooo I like the idea of Jenny being one of Susan's parents! the only problem I see with it was Hartnell's doctor wouldn't know she was his granddaughter if he had no memory of her parent being one of his children....

@@StevenCampsOut Ten didn't always tell the truth or he at least stretched it to maximum, so ReJenny wouldn't have to explain all the details and First understands he doesn't need to know about the (especially his own) future. Also, wouldn't be the first time The Doctor has done a memory wipe; First might even do a partial block on himself and leave just the knowledge Susan is (somehow) "grand-daughter". Easier, he adopts her and just tells the Terrans she is his relative as cover, not even knowing she actually *is* related to him. ReJenny could suggest that route, to avoid explaining the delicate intricacies.
