Three Doctors?
Something about this story is nagging me. Are there actually 3 different Doctors in this story? I mean obviously the Thirteenth Doctor has a in-mind conversation with her predecessor, the Twelfth Doctor. But at some point it's being said "you two". Is the Eleventh (or other prior incarnation) also in this story or is Thirteen yelling out loud to both her predecessor and her inner self? --DCLM ☎ 19:31, March 25, 2020 (UTC)
- Where is this idea that Twelve appears coming from? That's not at all represented in the text. The Doctor is talking to herself, responding to herself, and then interjecting in response. Talking to herself is a known characteristic of this Doctor; here, Chibnall takes that trait to its logical conclusion. (There's even a line in here where the Doctor complains about herself sectioning off her mind like this.)
× SOTO (☎/✍/↯) 02:13, March 26, 2020 (UTC)- The consistent use of she/her pronouns in the story suggests it's all just the Thirteenth Doctor. A demonstrative example being "Fun fact about Fintleborxtug, she told herself, [...] You don’t have to tell me that, thought the Doctor tetchily to herself, I know!"
