A bracing glass of carrot juice!
Doctor Who internal continuity is always "functionally ignore it unless I really want to do something in a story" and the only times that hasn't been true have been the worst eras of the programme.

She, laughing in mockery, changed herself into a wren and flew away.
Well, it's the big stuff rather than the small stuff I guess. My assumption is that he won't bother spending any time retconning anything, but stuff will just happen regardless because that is how the show works and has always worked.

Some things never change, whether it's who's playing the Doctor or trying to line up regeneration transitions

The beard is such a great look for Tennant these days, I wish they'd gone with that for Fourteen (and his native accent).

WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING IN LIFE.



After watching "Tales from The TARDIS," I really hope they follow up on Ancient Sly McCoy and Ace going on new adventures in some form. Sly ain't lost a beat.

He's right, it does feel weirdly like intruding on a private moment :allears:

I mean, maybe, but in that context shouldn't "hey, I think the Mara is still messing with me" take priority over "let's sadly remember Adric, but not enough to actually have him come back as a memory shade because he was kind of a misogynistic douche".

I know we've had two decades of audios to prove this but McCoy has never stopped being great at being the Doctor.

"The entire history of this incarnation is one of temporal orbits, retcons, paradoxes, parallel time lines, reiterations, and divergences. How anyone can make head or tail of all this chaos, I don't know."
Huh, they’ve colourised The Daleks for the 60th anniversary.

Them talking about going on their next adventure and then operating the memory tardis at the end is probably my favourite doctor who thing I've seen in a long time.

Psssh, they already basically did that for the 2nd anniversary :smuggo:
