[@the1ndiegamer811]

Dissassiciative personality disorder is a state of mind where part of your "personality" personality breaks of due to trauma to protect the body. It's not uncommon to those who suffer regular body and mental trauma to suffer from tis. Fugue state is when your mind just goes blank, nothing left of what you had, just a blank slate.

Tennant and Capaldi's exposition especially never felt pandering, they never felt like they were talking down to the audience. I could listen to either of them as the doctor spouting random technobabble or whatever they wanted for hours

[@sixstanger00]

That's been a problem with DW since the mid-Moffat era. Plots aren't allowed time to breathe or develop anymore; the audience is just strapped to a rollercoaster with no brakes and the episode warps through at top speed from start to finish. If you go back and look at the early RTD episodes like _"The Unquiet Dead,"_ or _"The Empty Child,"_ the audience is slowly introduced to the plot, we learn more about what's happening as the Doctor does, and there is a satisfactory build up to the final act. Unfortunately NuWho's latest target audience are the generation of instant gratification and zero attention spans, so everything must be constantly flashing, buzzing, beeping, exploding, etc for them not to fall over in their own drool.

Pretty much my reaction to finding out I wasn't a time lord

[@ANIpJs]

The Newt And actually as hinted at in the classic series with the unrealized plans for the companion Ace, it's possible for a human to also become a Time Lord (at least of sorts). The Plan was that the Doctor was grooming her to enter the Time Lord Academy and become a human-time lord. Plus in the new series with River it's proven that a human can also have the ability of regeneration. However River is a mutated human from being conceived in the T.A.R.D.I.S. while it is in flight in the Time Vortex. So it's not 100% what exactly has to happen to allow a human to gain that ability, since unlike traditional Time Lords River was born with the ability but it was never stated exactly how many regenerations she could've be capable of beyond the three we saw (the normal Melody to child/teen Melody (the black one...sorry if that sounds racist but I can't think of how to phrase that otherwise to River) then shortly after the final time she sacrificed the rest of her regenerations to save The Doctor. Come to think of it Jenny was born with that ability as well, but it seems to be a lesser version since she didn't completely change. Point is anything is possible in this show and now I kinda want to see the concept explored in greater capacity on the show.

[@buddyclem7328]

Jerrod Schembs Good points with lots of details. Everyone who joined the new series seems to forget (for the most part) that The Doctor is half human. Therefore everything you say makes perfect sense to me, and you introduced some new ideas to me that I had not thought of before.

As The Doctor is known for taking faces of people who mean something to him (as David Capaldi's did) when he regenerates, perhaps in the future actor David Morrissey could return to be the actual Doctor this time.

And he did make a big impression upon the Tenth Doctor.

[@florianbarkowski6856]

The worst part about trauma is you can not run away from it. You can try to ignore it, try to hide, even try to deny its existence. But it is always there lurking in the dark quiet corner of your conscience. Always ready to strike. Breaking open wounds you thought healed. In those quiet moments of thought. It comes back to haunt us. Feasting on the same canvas. Well maybe I went a bit deep there, but I will not say how you feel, because everybody is different. All I am saying is after losing my Mother this year I have found out a lot of the characteristics.

David Morrissey should definitely be the Doctor. He's great at doing the emotional scenes and I'd like to see a true dark side of the doctor.

After seeing Morrissey being incredibly evil and dark in the Walking Dead, I'd love to see some of that as the doctor

I agree, we know the doctor becomes a darker person somewhere at his 12 or 13 regeneration(though without counting the War Doctor)

When Dr Who was a great show...

[@femmefuntime]

I’d love to see them interact again. Both of them fighting together again would be great. Bring Jackson Lake back!

[@joripien]

I honestly don't get why people hate this episode so much. It was quite a nice one wiht some clever moments in it in my opinion

[@therestorationofdrwho1865]

Doesn't the doctor wonder how every of his incarnations were filmed? Lol

[@nildzrecastellanos]

or how the next 13 from the new cycle wasn't? :D

[@IOmoon6221]

The next ones weren't there because the Cybermen had no data base on them.

[@ricardo0396]

The Restoration of Dr Who they missed the war Doctor

[@therestorationofdrwho1865]

@@IOmoon6221 How come they didn’t have a data base on them? Surely they would have at least come across the later doctors from them going back in time.

*generic comment about the Governor*

[@Dim4323]

This was a perfect scene. David and neil scenes are remarkable

[@Spectralyzed]

Saw this in another comment by someone called Richard Smith, but I thought I'd pass it on... What if the Doctor regenerates using Jackson Lake's face to remind himself that not everyone can be saved just like Peter Capaldi's face was the father from Pompeii to remind himself that he should always save someone?

[@SupBro-ww9go]

Without a doubt, one of the best doctor who episodes

[@deltaproductions313]

True

[@Muppio]

I'd say that he'd make a pretty cool ACTUAL doctor.

[@GrimDMasterMind]

Remember when the Doctor had deep compelling stories? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

[@Superspy315]

"Saving Rosita" I thought Abraham did that?

[@MishMash95]

This Scene still sends shivers down my spine

[@androo6473]

Damn...I actually thought it was the next incarnation but then the Doctor shows this and then he has flashbacks again I thought it was the end of Tennant as the Doctor this special but then it was just him having his memory wiped after it accidentally backfired on him, feew!

[@chrisogilvie8868]

I actually really dislike this episode as a whole(the giant cyberman is ridiculous), but i'll be damned if the drama with jackson lake was'nt brilliantly done. also David Morrissey would make an amazing doctor.

[@AJadedLizard]

It was really good up to that point. The build up of the main villain was fantastic, but it just got dumb when that wandered out.

[@minicle426]

The RTD is full of this kind of nonsense, dragging down the few better parts...

[@namidakyukettesukiiamvnolo9512]

that awkward moment when you realise Jackson is the governor

[@clarkconner]

The Walking Dead

[@robtennant98]

NamidaKyukettesukiiAMV NO LONGER ACTIVE how the fuck is that awkward

[@lilybridger3588]

I feel sorry for Peter Cushing. He did maybe three films portraying the doctor but is left off of he list and isn't recognised by even the BBC. Poor guy. Can you just imagine: "I played the Doctor""Oh, on what show?""...Doctor Who - movies actually""...Nope. You didn't. The BBC have a list of the doctors, and you're not on it."Obviously this wouldn't happen now, he passed away in 1994, but still...

[@Leinad0001]

+L Lily actually it was 2 films. A third was planned but scrapped due to poor reception of the second. plus he never made mention of them in his autobiography

[@Leinad0001]

+Dan Johnson but I do see where you are coming from, there is a theory going round that he's the alternate Tenth Doctor and that could be plausible

[@lilybridger3588]

Huh. I was so sure that it was three films. But it still kind of sucks that a lot of 'Whovians' have never even heard of him. And a lot more only care about the recent or attractive doctors. There were a few doctors that I would love to ignore, but they all deserve acknowledgement for their part within this franchise.

[@Leinad0001]

+L Lily I can't ignore any Doctors, they all brought something to the table even Colin Baker. Patrick Troughton will always be my favourite But yeah The Peter Cushing films were pretty good

[@lilybridger3588]

I agree. Colin Baker is possibly my least favourite, but he only provided what the writers asked. They were all written to different standards with different traits... They definitely brought something to the table, you're right. Patrick Troughton was actually pretty good, I agree with that too. I loved the Brigadier though and loved that he popped up with more than just one doctor and even made an appearance SJA.
