Well, I think those episodes also made it pretty clear that the Doctor had no hope of succeeding. If the Time Lords wanted him to stay on Earth, he was going to stay on Earth, so all that the minor background plot arc of the Doctor trying to repair his TARDIS showed was that he was trying to escape his exile, and that he would never be able to do so. Imamadmad, in my original reply to your suggestion, I did say that it could work if the Doctor did eventually find out why he was able to regenerate more than 12 times(or maybe I didn't make that clear). Anyway, that might work, as long as they didn't wait more than a season or two before the answer is revealed. I think it might work better if his actual regeneration story involved him somehow gaining a new cycle. If not, he can always do what the Master did when he ran out of regenerations.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] <sup>[[User talk:Icecreamdif|talk to me]]</sup> 20:36, December 6, 2011 (UTC) | Well, I think those episodes also made it pretty clear that the Doctor had no hope of succeeding.

"those episodes also made it pretty clear that the Doctor had no hope of succeeding": Yes. I was referring only to the prominence (or lack thereof) that his efforts were given in the stories -- always there but almost never in the foreground. | |||
"that might work, as long as they didn't wait more than a season or two before the answer is revealed": Here, I'd say that how long they could spin it out would depend on how they did it. Properly handled, it could be kept going for quite a long time; badly handle, it'd get annoying very quickly. -- (I was 78.146.189.157 but I expect it's changed again) [[Special:Contributions/89.242.75.93|89.242.75.93]] 22:22, December 6, 2011 (UTC) | |||
