It is going to be interesting seeing how they balance it (and actually in the main Doctor Who show as well) when there’s literally an entire second Doctor just sitting there doing nothing. Like anytime they escalate things to world-threatening stakes, it’s going to feel weird that there’s a version of the Doctor there who could absolutely help but just… doesn’t for some reason. Like I know this Doctor’s supposed to be recovering and taking it easy, but it seems a bit out of character for any version of the Doctor to not help when people are in trouble.
One of the best quotes I heard about the sonic (I forget who said it) was that it should never be used in the second half of the episode. It’s for opening doors and getting the Doctor into trouble, not for getting them back out of it again.
TBH I dislike Appimage purely because I can’t be bothered to go and check them all individually for new versions all the time, it feels like being on Windows again. I don’t mind a little bloat for the sake of convenience. But that’s just personal preference of course.
William Hartnell to Paul McGann are Doctors 1-8 in standard order. John Hurt is the 9th incarnation of the Doctor, but is called the War Doctor. Christopher Eccleston is the 10th incarnation, but called the ninth. David Tennant is the 11th, 12th, 16th and possibly co-17th incarnation, but is called 10 or 14. Matt Smith is the 13th incarnation. called the 11th. Peter Capaldi is the 14th (or possibly first of a new regeneration cycle), called 12. Jodie Whittaker is the 15th (or maybe 2nd new) incarnation, called the 13th. Ncuti Gatwa is the co-17th, or possibly third of the second set of Doctors, but is called the fifteenth.
Jo Martin is also some incarnation of the Doctor, but nobody (perhaps even including Chris Chibnall) knows what that’s about. Also the rest of the Timeless Child stuff makes this somehow even more of a clusterfuck, but I’m not even going near that one. Also the Curator exists in there somewhere.
As I understand it, in the previous episode the ship was on the edge of existence, with big parts of the universe now missing because of the Flux. With the salt he invoked a superstition at the edge of reality, where the boundaries are weaker which let the Toymaker get through somehow.
The hand I think was a callback to Last Of The Time Lords where a hand with red nail polish retrieved the Master’s ring after he died to bring him back to life. The Toymaker mentioned that he beat the Master and trapped him in his gold tooth, so this is some sort of Master shenanigans I think.
This is the 4th time the Doctor has regenerated into David Tennant (Eccleston -> Tennant, Tennant -> Tennant, Whitaker -> Tennant, Tennant -> Tennant again) out of 15 lives, so anytime the Doctor regenerates there’s about a 26% chance of him turning into David Tennant lol.
Also, I’d say install Windows first, then Linux. Windows assumes it’s the only OS in the universe and tends to steamroll over the whole boot setup, so I’ve found it much easier to just let Windows do whatever it wants first, then fix it with Linux afterwards.
