In David Tennent's final story The End Of Time he implied death for one incarnation of the Doctor meant a completely new and different man was born with the same memories.
The Tenth Doctor's final words confirmed this when he said 'I don't want to go'.
It doesn't help earlier on in the episode as well when he says "Even if I change, it feels like dying. Everything I am dies. Some new man goes sauntering away...and I'm dead."
What on earth was RTD thinking when he did that!?! HE'S THE SAME PERSON FOR GOODNESS SAKE! He just changes his form to survive.
Overall I think RTD made far too much fuss of the 10th Doctors regeneration and did his best to squeeze three hours worth of television out of it.
And don't get me started on what is wrong with Planet of The Dead.
Rant over ;)
What do you think?
David tennant is legendary, the 'fuss' they made over his regeneration was right to do so.
ReplyDeleteIt depends, If you think about it, the only real problem with the 10th doctor's regeneration is the line "I don't want to go". If that line was replaced with something like "I don't want to change", it would have probably been okay.
ReplyDeleteBut it's too late now of course, unless someone wants to attempt the mother of all retcons! :D
