I confess to having a very bad moment of "this is a great episode, sorta...like...um...."Survival" was...oh, shit!"
re: regeneration Has anyone ever really investigated what regeneration is? Is it genetic? Are Timelords tinkered with in some mechanical way at a certain time - the regeneration chip, or some such thing? Is it an energy thing like Superman and his wicked crazy power when he's in the right sort of sunlight? Is it somehow tied into the whole 'well, the Master is bonkers because of what happened when he looked into the funky vortex thing as a child and got his new name' thing?
I really dislike the idea of chopping up what is canon for the series. And heck, one of the things that made the Master interesting was how he dealt with his raging against death.
re: Rose No, I agree. While I love that she finally got her answer and her kiss, I have issues with how she wasn't really given a choice for her future. Again. And she's changed so much and fought so hard.
Do you think 10 would want 10.5 to have a TARDIS of his own? Would he trust him? Or would it be another 'you have a choice' thing?
I also forgot to mention how much I ***LOVED*** seeing 6 people piloting the TARDIS. Has that ever happened before? I can't recall if it did on Gallifrey..
re: '09 special appearance Um. I've heard a rumour that Tom B might, but..I have a hard time believing it...
