There is a difference, the 10th Doctor knowing he was about regenerate sets about visiting those he cares for to reassure them, to say farewell - he doesn't don a fez and prance about. Why go to such ends to attract attention to then leave Amy, Rory and River to witness his death so shockingly. If the 'waving' Doctor knows nothing of his future death, why all the gesticulating through time - Rory states 'it's as if he's trying to get our attention' (not direct quote). It seems an awful lot of trouble for the production team to build those sets just to demonstrate the 11th Doctor's a tad zany. If he's reassuring Amy and Rory that he's out in time having fun without them, well, maybe, but it seems an odd way to start the storyline - a mysterious blue envelop arriving would be the usual succinct beginning. I haven't a resolution I'm happy with, the whole sequence seems too 'preface' to me.

I was talking about the 10th Doctor's adventures in between ''Waters of Mars'' and ''The End of Time''. At that point, the Doctor didn't actually know whether he would die or just regenerate, and he clearly views regeneration as being comparable to death anyway. Besides, the Doctor at the beginning could just as easily been the 908 year old Doctor before he recieved the blue envelope from his future self.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 22:29, August 13, 2011 (UTC) | |||
