    Both my parents as they got older ended up using wheelchairs to go with. Around their apartments they could walk around due to it being short distances, but they didn't have the strength for long distances. So when they went out they used wheelchairs.
    But it never ceased to amaze me how often someone would comment if they stood up to get into a vehicle or something about "Why they were using a wheelchair".

      @@PaulaDeming I usually think that it comes from poor moral beings, whenever I run into someone who first thought is that people are trying to cheat the system, it's because that is the way they think, they would cheat if they thought they could get away with it and so are assuming everyone else is doing exactly that.
      That is why I think certain politics think the worse about people, that they are trying to game the system, because they themselves would cheat the system.

    My interpretation was that Ncuti had benefitted from Tenants time on Earth with Donna. He said something along the lines of "you fixed yourself, we are doing rehab out of order".
    So when Tenant dies in the future, I believe he will regenerate into Ncuti. But then Ncuti's incarnation travels back in time to pop out during the Bi-generation.

    I think 14 after the bigeneration lives in some kind of loop and when he dies, he will become 15 in the moment of the bigeneration... Because 15 said "I'm fine because you fixED yourself." So they can't be completely separated entities... :)

    • @TheRavenholme

      This is it, exactly. While we don't understand what bigeneration is, beyond a way for the Doctor to heal some from everything from 9-13 has gone through, RTD has basically confirmed that 14 lives with the Noble-Temple's (presumably for the rest of their lives? Not sure but I love that idea) and at some point in the future, dies. But time motherfuckery (timey-wimey is far too tame considering what an absolute mind-fuck bigeneration is from the perspective of time travel) occurs and the 14th Doctor essentially goes back in time, bigenerates into 15. The 15th Doctor is the 14th, after all the time spent with Donna and her family. Both absurdly confusing and relatively simple to understand. He may not be completely healed, but he lived for quite a while and happily and that's why the 15th is so immediately different and helpful and presumably influenced by his time with Donna and her family.
      So no, they're still the same Doctor, confirmed by RTD.
      Basically, it's a very soft reboot of the series for the benefit of Disney+ watchers, so they don't have to wade through 62 years of established canon to enjoy the new show on their streaming service. It helps _us_ enter a new era for the Doctor. Personally I thought it was a great move. I know people _hate_ it, but that's just people; unless you're doing things exactly how they prefer they'll always rag on Gatwa for no other reason than their preferences weren't met.

    When I heard of "bi-regenration", I didn't like the idea at all, thinking it would undermine 15's arrival because RTD can't let go of "his" Doctor. Nevermind 10, Russell's the one who "doesn't want (him) to go".
    But I should have trusted him, the execution worked very very well. Ncuti exudes perfect Doctor energy and sass right away, and 14 gets his well-earned reward.
    And I can't begin to express how much I loved that perfect moment of self-love. The Doctor comforting the Doctor sent me blubbering.

    19:27 - because the Doctor is getting what he has always needed - someone to help him heal
    19:37 - imagine whoever gets possessed by the Master also getting a fraction of the Toymaker's powers
    21:16 - this was added because a fan wrote to Russell T Davies and mentioned that they would never be able to go into the TARDIS because of their wheelchair
    21:42 - Ncuti also was a Doctor Who fan and grew up with Doctor and Donna. Now he gets to be the Doctor.

    19:27 the reason its 'going to make you blubber' is because RTD just pulled off both Steve Moffat and Chris Chibnall's best tricks - a brilliant bit of clever story-writing that's also so understated as to be almost unconscious. With no great fanfare, he just wrote a line where the Doctor is forgiven and reassured by his future self. Imagine how powerful a gift rhat would be for anyone in their own life - if you couldnjump back theough time and tell your younger self 'we get through this' or 'it isn't your fault'.

    My theory is 15 is from the future after 14 had his rehabilitation. Once 14 has healed from his trauma etc, he returns to the point of bigeneration and becomes 15. I'd like to think that 14 also will deal with the timeless child stuff by reclaiming their memories and dealing with that. This is why 15 is so chipper, he's recovered from all the past trauma and can start travelling again.

  • @zemoxian

    My head canon is that if 14 regenerates he’ll turn into the Curator.
    However some people seem to think that when he regenerates he’ll travel back to this moment and become 15.
    So, if that’s the case, that may happen if 14 is brought back into the show.
    A third idea is that when they bigenerated, ALL the generations of the Doctor bigeneraated. That’s apparently supposed to tie in with Tales of the TARDIS. Apparently this is from a commentary with RTD someone saw.
    I’ll be taking the long way round to find out what actually becomes canon.

    While it is incredibly silly I can't help but love it. The bi-generation gives the old era a nice ending, allowing Ncuti to start completely fresh without any emotional baggage. We acknowledged that 14 is still grieving the Flux, and he'll have the time to process that and all his other losses, while having a happy life with his best friend. Once he has healed emotionally I believe that he'll regenerate into Ncuti as usual, only appearing at Unit HQ. It isn't much different from Clara, who technically died, but got some extra time before returning to her death.
    We don't need Ncuti to be burdened by grief, Time War redux. We need a hopeful happy Doctor in this era to inspire the kids, embracing inclusivity and being a fantastic role model. While bigeneration was a spicy controversial choice I firmly belive that some people just need to sit back and enjoy the ride, no matter how silly or campy it gets. Once one starts analyzing and nitpicking, they quickly spiral into negativity, which is the opposite of what we need.
    Very much looking forward to more Ncuti Gatwa, what an entrance!

    The first 40 mins or so we're basically perfect for me, but meta-crisis Part 2 included I still really enjoyed it. Landing Ncuti is one of those incredible castings where you'd never have thought of it but the second you hear it, it makes PERFECT sense & it's instantly exciting. I really feel like we're going to move away from the "wacky, fast-talking, hyperactive eccentric" archetype Doctor (as much as I love it), as well as the trauma of New Who Doctors. I want a performance that's as distinctive & fresh as Jon Pertwee or Tom Baker felt in their debut.

    • @mrspiderhead8794
      @mrspiderhead8794 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah, it's kinda genius really - the classic Doctors were all a bit eccentric but hadn't really suffered _catastrophic_ trauma (some loss, sure, but we all suffer that at some point), then 9 was fresh from the time war, angry and damaged beyond belief, 10 was lonely and regretful, and a bit uncertain of who he was (the time lord victorious was a symptom of desperately looking for meaning in the ashes of everything he once knew), 11 was a chaotic bubbling mess who just kept busy and energetic to avoid having to really stop and process anything, and whenever he had a quiet moment what came out was mostly quiet anger, 12 was grumpy and weary but trying his best to just hold to his ideals despite being so tired that he wanted to finally die for good, then 13 was in denial about all of it, completely closed up in order to survive another lifetime that she didn't really want in the first place, leading to being goofy one moment and emotionally cold and distant the next, and finally 14 is at breaking point, crying out, ready to just crumble in the presence of the one person left who he knows can help. 15 is the rejuvenated Doctor, the one who has worked through their issues and found a fresh lease on life.
      It feels like the bigeneration (and potential regeneration timeloop) is a result of the Doctor knowing that 14's purpose wasn't complete and that a long road of healing was still needed, made possible by the weakening of reality caused by a) the toymaker's presence and b) the whole "invoking superstition at the edge of the universe" thing. The more I think about it the more I kinda love the whole thing.

    (Sorry for length. Just thorough with my thoughts is all.)
    Two things a view on bigeneration and a theory of who the next big baddy/baddies are.
    We really don't know what The Doctor's species (real species not Time Lords that hijacked regeneration from The Doctor) are actually capable of. Bigeneration might be considered a myth because Time Lords getting regenerations past their limit was rare due to them being genetically altered but not the source. The Doctor's species may have unlimited regenerations, with bigeneration being a physical-psychological auto immune response to help cope. Instead of a split personality developing from stress and everything, their immune response is to generate the perfect support, themselves without the baggage, who knows everything and can help them move past it and make changes.
    So many ways it could turn out. My guess is that The One Who Waits is Fenric from the older DW. His character is based on one of Lovecraft's Great Old Ones. Lovecraft in DW, all for it! AND, what I hope for most, is it could bring back and tie in Krop Tor from The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit episodes!
    The Beast says "this one knows me as I know him. The killer of his own kind." Which could actually be referring to his true kind, not the Time Lords. And it also implies whatever The Beast's kind is, he was and is not the ONLY one. There were/are more. And I think it's what they encountered in Wild Blue Yonder.
    The beast speaks about events/beings that trapped them there which happened before time, before THIS universe existed, and The Doctor can't believe it.
    TB: Before light and time and space and matter. Before the cataclysm. Before THIS universe was created.
    TD: That's impossible. No life could have existed back then.
    TB: Is that YOUR religion?
    TD: It's a belief.
    TB: You know nothing. All of you. So Small.
    Trapped before the universe was created. When the cataclysm/universe was created, TB's prison was given structure and form governed by the laws of the universe in which the prison was enveloped. Light, time, space, matter, but still powerful and capable of influence. The beings of the Wild Blue Yonder are The Beast's kind.

    Yeah, my guess for the bi-generation is that it’s a closed time loop. So, Fourteen lives with the Nobles for as long as he wants, gets all the help & time that he needs to fully recover from all of his past trauma, and when he finally regenerates into Fifteen properly, the time-warp that was caused by the Toymaker’s presence causes Fifteen to loop back to the moment when they split. That explains Fifteen’s “I’m better because you fix yourself; we’re doing rehab out of order” line, why his new TARDIS is more advanced than Fourteen’s existing one, and why Fifteen is older than Fourteen despite the fact that they should be the same age if they’d just split in two.

    A new Doctor's first episode is always a bit challenging, but coming in alongside/after _David Tennant,_ who is (I think it's fair to say) the most popular Doctor of New Who, is a tall order for anyone.
    But he charmed me immediately. His energy is just infectious and he's so very... Doctor-y. But the Doctor when they're not weighed down by several metric fucktons of fresh trauma. Just the Doctor on their best days, when it's just about running around, seeing things, saving the day and having fun (15 will have his more serious moments of course, and we got a little bit of that this episode, but overall he was very... light.).

    I do like the full circleness of David's Doctor going from "I don't want to go," to now he gets to stay. Plus, I always lowkey dissatisfied witht he fact that, in-narrative, 10 was only around a couple of years; because they kept tying his age to the series real time and a few years is a drop in the bucket for a character like the Doctor - especially given how old/how long 11 got to stick around.
    I'm ambivalent about them talking about the Doctor staying in one place, as if it's something he doesn't do; because it undermines or just ignores the fact that he stayed on Trenzalore for a thousand years, he stayed with River for 24 years. When he lost Rory and Amy, he actually did stop traveling for a bit. We don't know how long, but he parked the Tardis above the clouds and stayed there awhile. (I like to think it was part of a plan to see them again. Since he couldn't have the Tardis travel there, he intentionally went far enough back to park the Tardis and wait to catch up to them; and planned to just be with them. But then Clara showed up and it was off to the races).

These three Doctors line up perfectly with Rowan Atkinson (Curse of Fatal Death), Richard E Grant (Scream of the Shalka), and Christopher Eccleston (Series 1).

    I loved this episode. Toymaker was amazing. But oh MAN am I conflicted about bigeneration. On one hand, it's a scifi show about a magic immortal space wizard, so regeneration can work however they say it works. But on the other hand...FBKEFKJRBJGNERKJGBKJ that's not how regeneration works! xD Like, I think what bugs me the most about it is RTD said in an interview that bigeneration affected the Doctor's entire timeline, meaning every time the Doctor has regenerated, now theoretically there was a split that created a copy of the old incarnation. He specifically used the word "Doctorverse." And personally I think that's silly, because it's a show about time travel. Every other version of the Doctor is "out there" in a sense already. We don't need to completely rewrite how regeneration works and fill the universe up with these duplicates to do that. I'm HOPING 15's line about doing "rehab out of order" means the duplicates, or even if it really just is 14, are temporary and just a way for the Doctor to deal with their trauma. So in a sense, this copy of 14 will still "become" 15, so to speak. That's at least how I would run with it if I were the next showrunner.
