The Doctor overloaded the Matrix (Cloud Computing for Time Lords) with all her memories and experiences, giving us a handy chance to flashback through all her incarnations while listening to the Doctor Who theme tune. The big victory montage, which you spent either punching the air, cringing, or somehow both simultaneously, was the climax of the episode. Who Were the Morbius Doctors in the Season 12 Finale Montage?

Joe Hill recounts savage Doctor Who rejection from BBC By Kirsten Howard Of course, then we get into other questions, such as “How did the Doctor screw up badly enough to die at Trenzalore in the original timeline?” and “Why did Clara only see the twelve incarnations we knew about when she stepped into his time stream?” We’ll leave you to argue about that one in the comments. But did the Time Lords actually, y’know, do anything? Or were they just hanging about to get the credit? At the end of “The Time of the Doctor,” Clara begs the Time Lords to help, there are some bright flashes of light and then the Doctor gets his new regeneration. This also has another fascinating implication. So, in theory, the Doctor could keep going forever “barring accidents” as her second incarnation might say. How Many Regenerations Does The Doctor Have Left?Īgain, we don’t know, but it’s said in this episode that the limit of twelve regenerations was an artificial one imposed on the Time Lords. Needless to say, the Doctor has probably had enough regenerations to let Big Finish cast every actor they’ve ever wanted as the Doctor in prequel series. Presumably, this is different from the Celestial Intervention Agency, a Time Lord organisation which seeks to secretly interfere in other-worldly affairs. That child, meanwhile, went on to work for the secret Time Lord organisation “The Division,” which sought to interfere in other-worldly affairs.

This early Gallifreyan (or Shobogan, to use the correct name, which we first heard in the 1976 story “The Deadly Assassin”) decided she’d have that, and so experimented on the child for years, killing her, or him, over and over again, until she found a way to replicate the gift of regeneration for all Shobogans, who now took to calling themselves “Time Lords.” She brought the child home, raised her, but then something happened and the child died, only to undergo the first-ever regeneration on Gallifrey.

One of their earliest space explorers went out into the universe and found a child lying underneath some great big hole into another dimension. It turns out the Time Lords didn’t always have the ability to regenerate.
