The original canon was there are 12 physical beings, 13 regenerations with the last regeneration basically like a heat death with everything caught in a moment and then extinguished. In Classic Who, it was found out that the Valyard [a nasty bastard] who was the prosecutor during 'Trials of a Time Lord' was actually the Doctor's own shadow 13th regeneration pulled out of time. During the Time Wars that happened between the 8th Doctor and the 9th [New] Doctor, the council of Gallefrey changed the rules as best they could to allow extra regenerations to ensure that there would actually be enough Gallefreyians to continue fighting. This is how the Master was also able to return and semi-function even though he burned through all his possible reincarnations way back in Classic Who days. So the Doctor was supposedly given either a limited but generous amount of further reincarnations or, the other side of a long running debate, the Doctor is actually one of the original founders of all of Time Lord society [known only as The Other and potentially the most powerful Time Lord ever]and is immortal at least for as long as s/he cares to be.

There's been three cases of excessive TARDIS influences on human females in the New series resulting in Gallifreyian hybrids... <.< >.> Yes, I'm a nerd. There was Rose when she took in all of the TARDIS's energies and used it to erase the Daleks and reverse stuff which ultimately led to the birth of the Face of Bo - the Doctor basically had to take back all that energy before she burned out / regenerated from it. There was the Doctor-Donna - Donna Nobel ended up hybriding but it made her unstable and scared - the Doctor had no choice but to erase all memories she had of him and traveling in order to stop her mental deterioration so technically she's still a Time Lady at this time. And then there's Melody Pond / River Song which is the one you are talking about - she was literally conceived in the spirals of time and space so she had no issues with her Time Lord / Lady side.

Also can't forget to mention "Missy" which is 100% Time lord. I just watched the season with Bill that she was a big part of. She's just "The Master" from a future timeline when he got regenerated into a female. The Master was actually putting on eye liner and asking Missy what it's going to be like to be a woman; Even going as far as asking for fashion tips, and if she had any old bras he could have. I think it's cool the doctor get's a female lead, I just hope that actress can actually pull it off she doesn't look crazy enough to play the doctor from the trailer I know she's supposed to be really good..and she's well known.. Personally I really think the actress that played Missy did really good portraying a female time lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I really think the actress that played Missy did really good portraying a female time lord. I wasn't really counting Master / Mistress since s/he was already 100% Time Lord / Lady. If we were going to include Time Lords that regenerated into another gender, we'd have to include the head guard on Gallifrey during the season 9 finales - The one that the Doctor specifically asks if they have any regenerations left when the guard tries to stop him but really doesn't want to. They both know the only way to go forward is if shots are fired and the guard takes the bullet to both save face and buy the Doctor a little more time. When he's done regenerating, he's a she and it turns out she had deliberately decided to regenerate into a male for that previous life, but was glad to be back in a more familiar body. Spoilering things since I don't know who else here might be slightly behind since I only finished 9 a few months ago and haven't watched 10 yet. And I'm also hoping the 13th Doctor is written and played as well as the previous ones. That's my main concern in this - that it might be screwed up even without any 'fan' backlash. I think also that many of the people who were the main deals in the production have left at this time so there's a slight feeling of 'wut' in the air.

PhilosipherStoned Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I very vaguely remember that.. but I guess that's why I thought when he had that flashback of being in Gallefrey to execute the Mistress that the seen looked too familiar. I usually forget all about Doctor Who until something makes me nostalgic, or I'm really bored.. and by that time the whole season has already aired so I usually watch it all in one night, and remember nothing when it comes time for the next season.

katt_goddess Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Why does the Doctor even have to be humanoid? The Eye of Harmony has the full answer to that. But a short answer is they don't have to. It's an aesthetic choice at some point in their early evolution that they have and retain a humanoid appearance. There's been a few regenerations in which the Doctor has patted himself done and counted appendages to see how many he has. Besides, the most likely alternative is a blob-like creature that melts in the sunlight and requires a hard motorized shell to survive... Plus, Mark Type 40 TT's are tempermental creatures that require hands to operate them rather than tentacles or particle thought beams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
