That's right! 11 used some of his regeneration energy to heal River!

How could he do that if he doesn't have any?

Maybe the pseudo-regeneration that created the Metacrisis Doctor only used part of the energy he'd need for a full regeneration, but regardless of whether he healed River or not, the Doctor wouldn't have enough energy to regenerate again? I dunno.

Okay all the aliens in this picture confirm that the one guy didn't just make all that stuff up. Hopefully it looks better on screen than it sounds written out.

Alternately, the one guy could have seen the picture early on and made up a story to match.

The best from McGann came from an interview shortly after Eccelston was cast.

"Bet they're not going to make him wear a wig."

Or when he was talking about the script to his BF audio, "Dead London" where the Doctor escapes from a Wicker Man by zip-lining using his cravat.

"I'm still wearing that cravat?"

Got any sources for these - the second, in particular?

As someone who has yet to listen to any of the Dark Eyes stuff, what sort of nods have they been doing?

It's less "nods" and more of a pervasive "War is inevitable, lines are being drawn, armies amassed, something big is gonna happen!" atmosphere throughout the later EDAs and Dark Eyes.

actually having the Doctor's face on a poster on a bus is a bit more obvious than your usual SFX joke

especially on HDTVs, where you can MAKE OUT THE TEXT and, presumably, so can the characters

This was the single worst episode of the revival by a country mile. DoctorWhat liked it, but it's only a matter of time before he changes his mind because of the rolling bandwagon of hate it's generated due to arguing that kids with mental problems shouldn't take their pills.

though it's not a "bandwagon" thing. It's a personal-experience-thing that got me, on reflection, really loving angry.

Hello, how are you, here are some things I've bitched about in the past

Exactly That

(Seriously gently caress what they did to the Master)

It's the closest thing to a cogent motivator the Master's ever had. The Master's character arc, especially the transition from Crispy to Ainley, is a total mess that doesn't describe any kind of linear character development.

The Master is a dick and he likes to gently caress with The Doctor. That's plenty of motivation.

Apart from his entire stint as a corpse, in which he was hateful and (even more) murderous in a way he'd never been before and which, in the classic series, he immidiately stopped being once he became Ainley.

And when he WAS Ainley, he hung out alone, in a cave, maintaining a racist disguise complete with talking-to-himself, for no goddamn reason.

Romana got out of E-Space and became President of Gallifrey. There's two decades of EU material backing that up.
