And Neil had to learn a lot more different card shuffles than he had already learned from his life long training. He said that’s the most difficult thing he had to learn and do it without looking down at his hands while doing the different shuffles.

She heard and understood that the tardis is a consciousness , we see the 11th doctor talk to the tardis when it was pulled from it and put in a human body. It finally got to say hello to the doctor.

I so wanted NPH to say "challenge accepted"

i love how after the doctor mimics “best of three” the toymaker screws up his face like that! obviously reminded of how he lost the first time. not to mention the doctor being all punchy and doing the repetition in the first place

Something I only now thought of--did 15 actually create a completely separate TARDIS, or did he just pull the TARDIS' future self into the present (like how he supposedly is the regeneration after 14 passes away but was brought into parallel with 14's lifespan)? 🤔

According to the commentary track for The Giggle, we'll be getting an answer during the 2024 episodes of New S1 but RTD did say in the commentary that (spoilers for it below).... Apparently in episode 6 of the 2024 stuff for New S1 (60th + Church On Ruby Road from 2023 also being New S1, so guess including those it's more closer to being episode 10/13 (4x specials in 2023, 7x stories/8x episodes starting May; 2024 Christmas Special), We're gonna get confirmation that the TARDIS Gatwa flew off in is the same as the one that Hartell & maybe even as far as Martin borrowed all those years ago. So yeah the TARDIS Bi-generation (coming from the future, early) guess seems to be the correct one.

I love that they did actually try to play catch for real and all three kept dropping the ball, so they had to pretend to play and was all taught how to hide the ball behind the back of their hands and do a trick to bring it to their palms without the viewers noticing! So many people have rewatched that scene over and over again to try and catch the actors out and couldn’t because they did such a great job of keeping it hidden. If the actors hadn’t revealed what really happened during that scene nobody would have been none the wiser.

I feel like a different way they could've gone about the story is utilizing the meta crisis and how Donna had the mind of a time lord and having the Doctor absorb it somehow and that's why he bigenerates this time specifically. They've done stuff where outside sources effect the regeneration process before so I feel like it could've been a different writing solution for the specials. Still love who though.

@fivestarguy100

10 күн бұрын

I mean, technically you can still say there was an outside source influencing the regeneration process. The Toymaker. Despite he himself being surprised at the Bi-generation, The Toymaker is a reality altering being, so it's entirely possible that he brought a myth to life passively, like what seems to be the running theme of 15s episodes, I'd even say that it was implied in the Wild Blue Yonder, where 14 says that he invoked a myth at the edge of the universe and nobody is supposed to do that. Which is implied to be the reason why The Toymaker even came to the real world. So technically there was still an outside source influencing the process.

Anyone realize that the Toymaker admitted he was behind all the Timeless Child stuff. MEANING that if getting rid of him undoes everything he did, then the Doctor is no longer the Timeless Child, which would no longer exist.

Ай бұрын

yes, but one is current healing/on hiatus while the other continues to save the universe. the current theory is that 15 is the future doctor that comes after 14 lives a full life, and then time sends him back to the moment of the bi-generation hence the quotes he states in response to 14 going "you're me", and why he's much more calm when talking about trauma that's still very obviously haunting 14. of course, coming straight off a regeneration, his memory is kinda wonky, so he doesn't fully remember this moment. RTD has stated that the TARDIS 15 has is still the same one, and will be explained a bit in Season 1. there's going to be a lot at play with the whole "myths becoming reality" thing, that's for sure going to cause all kinds of wibbly wobbly timey wimey nonsense RTD has also stated that the bi-generation caused a paradox of sorts to affect every regeneration of the doctor's, hence the new idea of a memory TARDIS that has it's own dedicated shorts with old companions and doctors (as well as being shown in some trailers for Season 1), so really, we won't know the full affects of this regeneration until much later i'd expect

The question I still have after watching the episode for 10 times at least is “If 14th Doctor existed for only a day after his regeneration of 13th, when and how exactly Toymaker was ably to play game with Master?” In the power of the doctor he was seemingly mortally wounded from his forced regeneration into Doctor and crushed in ruins of his cyberplanet. So, just right after Doctor leaves to regenerate, Master frees himself from the rubbles, sat in his Tardis, somehow found the Toymaker played the game with him and lost? And if in the end of the episode we getting the hinge that he would be freed from his tooth-prison does that mean that we will still see his Spy (Rasputin) incarnation?

He was beaten in 2022 and was left on cyberplanet, while Doctor seems to be just teleported in space (not in time). So, she still in the same time as the dying master. So it is ether Master somehow found Toymaker in past in his Soho’s toy store (which is impossible because he was literally crushed under rubbles, his Tardis was broken because he used it to channel the regeneration energy thus “pushed his TARDIS right to the edge, burned out half his systems, marooned himself here”), OR he played the game with him in time period of 2022/2023 which means it still just hours since he lost to the Toymaker.

​​​@@mrgcavTechnically, it actually is still following canon. Bigeneration, like the Fifteenth Doctor says, is impossible because its a myth. Apparently, the novelization of The Giggle goes on to confirm that the Fourteenth Doctor had only existed for just under 15 hours before he was shot with the laser. In Christmas Invasion, it is revealed that within the first 15 hours of regeneration, a time lord's body still contains enough leftover regeneration energy to heal any significant damage as well as regrow lost limbs. Because the Toymaker's entire existence is bound to and dictated by the rules of the game, the bigeneration probably happened because not only did the Toymaker's rules dictate that round 3 be played against 14's successor, but the Doctor was also still within his 15 hours after regeneration. This probably culminated in bigeneration being possible. The Toymaker's presence affects the reality around it and can make the impossible happen. The Toymaker accidentally causing bigeneration doesn't contradict anything.
