Man, assuming the leaks are most likely correct now, I really hate the idea of the first (series lead anyway) black Doctor a) having to exist while Tennant 2.0 also still exists and b) not getting 14’s Tardis but instead having to use his Toymaker victory wish to create his own Tardis. It feels really cowardly to not just have Gatwa be the only current Doctor and to instead have Tennant stick around for other adventures at the same time. You’re forcing Gatwa to start what should be his era as The Doctor while under the shadow of an older very popular Doctor. Not to mention all the right wing culture warrior horseshit practically writes itself and will be inescapable, “he’s not the REAL doctor!” “it’s not the REAL Tardis!” etc. That loving sucks. Just make 14 regenerate into 15 and bring Tennant back the traditional way whenever you want MultiDoc shenanigans.

But to be entirely fair, we haven't seen it and the execution might be better than it reads. Because loving surely to gently caress, right?

Smith to Capaldi consisted of a violent sneeze and instant regeneration, there’s definitely already previously-established ways to go from Tennant to Gatwa without having to worry about accidental blackface during the fx transition.

I feel like the sources on the bi-regeneration thing are decent - the same guy on reddit who was very accurate on the Star Beast - but they surely have to resolve that by the end. You can only have one doctor, and Russell knows that's not going to fly. How much of this is fans just panicking each other into thinking Disney is going to turn the show into a vast franchise on a level with Marvel? I know Rusty has made pleased noises about how that'd be a wonderful thing to do, but are fans hearing that as 'Yes, we already are going to be doing that, but twice as much as you even suspected'

Potential for another 10.5 situation? They brought up the destroyed half of the universe from Flux, what if it could be brought back but putting the two halves back together would be too destructive so they are kept seperate and each gets one doctor?

The rest of it is a Bad Wolf production call (and then it falls down to Disney if they want to put money in those shows too). As for vast franchising: RTD already did it! There were three Doctor Who shows happening, without counting the ancillary stuff like Confidential or Totally Doctor Who!

But you hear these guys elsewhere, obviously Disney is going to interfere with every aspect of the show from the ground up. Probably got hysterical just before the TV Movie too, though with a little more justification there.

And not really great for anyone who comes along later. It's kind of bad enough that the Doctors have always had the threat of just being shitcanned by a quick regeneration if the ratings wobble under their tenure, but now there's the option to bring a more popular Doctor back at any time it's going to be worse. Again, could be helped if the capacity to regenerate is inherited by Gatwa but Fourteennant loses it (if we are arbitrarily saying biregeneration is a thing, we can arbitrarily say that only one partner in the biregeneration retains the ability to regenerate). But even so, you can dial back the "not the real Doctor" thing but you can't eliminate it, so why even open the door to it at all?

I do wonder if RTD told the beeb that he will keep Tennant around in case it all goes south and they need to restart again, knowing that he will never actually go back unless its a special.

Speculation rather than spoilers, but it is tied into things we've been told about future episodes so I'll put it here. - WBY has the Doctor do that thing with the salt, and then at the end of the episode talk about how he feels it was a mistake to rely on a superstition at the edge of the universe where reality and imagination bleed into each other somewhat. - It seems likely, given the foreshadowing emphasis on that scene, that this is what attracts the Toymaker's attention. - We know that actual goblins show up in Church On Ruby Road, that spoiler is confirmed, the Beeb's shown us pictures. - What if part of the whole deal with what the Doctor's done in WBY ends up more generally opening the gates between realms of imagination and reality and the early 15th Doctor arc is going to be about putting renegade creatures of fantasy back in the box? - What if this culminates in a big showdown in the Land of Fiction?

There’s some further leaks apparently from the same person who correctly called a bunch of stuff so far, specifically about the “bi-regeneration”. Supposedly, Fifteen was supposed to continue on as the singular Doctor after Fourteen’s natural end at some undefined point in the future. However, via the Toymaker’s meddling, Fifteen is brought back in time at the moment of his regeneration via a forced triggering of Fourteen’s regeneration energy. So the Doctor doesn’t really split in two, his timeline just folds back a bit so that Fourteen and Fifteen exist at the same time for a while as a closed time loop. RTD also considers the 2023 specials the “finale for nu-Who”, and Fifteen will introduce a soft reboot of the show, with S1/S14 starting after he’s been alive for a while already.

They just need to leave enough of a gap somewhere that there's other adventures 14 can have had, so Tennant can come back with Smith, Capaldi, and Whittaker in five years for the 65th anniversary episode at the end of Gatwas run. When it will be very nearly 20 years since Smith was announced as 11, Jesus Christ time flies

I think this would be true regardless of whether a contrivance is created now or later. There's nothing stopping whoever from just regenerating the Doctor into David Tennant again, or bringing him or whomever else back via some contrivance or other. There's probably no use worrying about it.

You’re still starting a new Doctor’s run with a popular Doctor waiting in the wings as backup if the ratings dip. Functionally speaking, this is true of every actor who has played the Doctor and is still alive. This is a show where the entirety of time and space is in the backdrop: every Doctor is "alive and out there" somewhere. The only reasons to call attention to 14's situation in this way is to either 1) keep 14 open to yet-unwritten adventures (because it would suck to blow an entire regeneration on 3 adventures), or 2) to mollify bigots at the behest of either Disney or the bigots themselves. Whatever you may think of RTD I think one of those is distinctly more likely than the other.

I know David Tennant loves Doctor Who, but he does have a whole lot of other projects and he probably doesn't want to do it forever. I doubt the reason behind the plot point is so that they can have a spare David Tennant around, particularly since they left one in a parallel universe that they can just open the doors for whenever they want. I would guess that it's Davies's attempt to try to address some of the "Just stay behind and have a meal for once" stuff that comes up once in awhile, while also sort of saying "Okay, we're moving on, but both versions of Doctor Who, starring David Tennant are always around if you want to revisit them." I am sure that we will all know when he beats us over the head with his intended message.
