Talk:The Time of the Doctor (TV story)
Paragraphs are your friend! Good synopsis though...
== SPOILERS!!!! ==
I would like to point out to the contributers that as I write this the episode has yet to air in my area of the USA. I am looking forward to reading it in 4 & half hours.
New Companion?
Please tell me we can list "Handles" as a companion of the Eleventh Doctor! I mean, if a shapeshifting penguin counts... --ScruffyC ☎ 03:50, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, Handles merits a companion page and will have one. --IrasCignavojo ☎ 10:04, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
Who says Handles isn't the cutest companion in the history of Doctor Who? Sergent Doomy Doom, Doomy Doomy Doomy Doom-BOOM! Boooooooom...Dooooom...Doom Boom. Doom Boom. Doom Boom. ☎ 10:09, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
wat
in the main enemy section it lists the silence
the silence are a evil religous order sprung off from the papal mainframe to destroy the doctor
The Silents who are really confessional Priests are good and some are bad but only the good ones appeared in the special User:Orangerichard56 ☎ 12:30, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
Incarnations and regeneration cycle
The article calls the Twelfth Doctor the "first incarnation of his new regeneration cycle", wouldn't it be more correct to say he is the second? The new cycle was given to the Eleventh Doctor, who then proceeded to use the first regeneration of his new cycle. The First Doctor never regenerated by if you list incarnations by regenerative cycle he would be considered the first incarnation of his original cycle, not the Second Doctor.
So it should be changed to 1) "second incarnation of his new regeneration cycle", but that would likely confuse people; 2) "first regeneration of his new regeneration cycle"; or 3) "new incarnation of his new regenerative cycle", new incarnation avoids the number issue but you could also add "first" to "new incarnation" to indicate that while the Eleventh Doctor would still be considered part of the new cycle, he was still a preexisting incarnation when the new cycle started. - The Light6 ☎ 13:00, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Eleven was already as good as dead when he gained his new cycle. As the First and War Doctors would say, his body was "wearing thin". He was about to die of old age. As such, the granting of a new cycle also triggered the regeneration. The new last Doctor would now be the 24th Doctor, the 26th incarnation.

- Yes he was good as dead, but that ignores the point of it, that the new cycle was granted to him, and that he, however briefly, was part of that cycle. And the fact he also regenerated means that one regeneration of the new cycle has also already been used up, which means that the 23rd Doctor, not the 24th is the new last Doctor (barring any more non-Doctor, Doctors or double-regeneration Doctors, of course). - The Light6 ☎ 02:05, December 27, 2013 (UTC)
Edit requests
The last item on Story Notes needs some major spelling corrections. And the item about Smith's leg injury needs to be adjusted a little to reference the fact the Doctor uses a cane for part of the episode. 70.76.69.162talk to me 22:10, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
Question about Clara
How did she not age when the doctor was in Christmas for 300 years? --Peruano99 ☎ 23:31, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
You are aware this programme regards time travel, right?
--TheMasterRace ☎ 00:05, December 27, 2013 (UTC)
Yes but how did she know he was going to be 300 years into the future? --Peruano99 ☎ 06:48, December 27, 2013 (UTC)
