:No, the the after-the-fact mystery isn't the only way it could be done. It's just the only way '''I''' can see it being done successfully. However, I'm not a brilliant, professional TV scriptwriter, so it's entirely possible that someone who '''is''' a brilliant, professional TV scriptwriter could find another way & make it work really well. In the end, it will always come down to how well it's written. --[[Special:Contributions/89.241.64.135|89.241.64.135]]<sup>[[User talk:89.241.64.135#top|talk to me]]</sup> 00:01, October 14, 2012 (UTC) | :No, the the after-the-fact mystery isn't the only way it could be done.

::OK, I think we actually agree on all the important bits here. (And good point about needing to get rid of the regeneration limit entirely. Imagine the conversation we'd be having in the virtual nursing home when we get near the 26th Doctor…) | |||
::Except that I was imagining the 14th Doctor not waking up right away. After the companion's tearful last goodbye, UNIT takes custody of the corpse. The 14th Doctor wakes up on the autopsy table, interrupting Kate Stewart, who's on the phone get Liz Shaw out of retirement. The scene can be played for laughs, with throwaway references to the TV movie ("Grace?" "Is it possible to have deja vu and amnesia at the same time?"), The Impossible Astronaut, Alien Bodies, Spearhead from Space, etc.… And then, to remind us that it's not all fun and games, a final shot of the TARDIS in the companion's backyard, shutting down for good to prepare for her slow, lonely death. --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 01:26, October 14, 2012 (UTC) | |||
