all the world's a stage...
I'm a Computer Science undergraduate in my final year studying at Reading University. I like music, movies, photography, reading and if I can ever get around to it, writing. Also a fan of horror, sci-fi and fantasy so there's plenty of re/blogging on those areas.
I write gig/event reviews at From The Pit

Many tweaks to this and web presence in general in the pipeline... when I get around to it.

Spoilers! Don’t read this if you’ve not seen the episode…
After River brings The Doctor back to life after he dies, Amy tells her that apparently River used up all her remaining regenerations to do so. I’ve been thinking about how Time-Lords are typically limited to 12 regenerations.
Questions:
- How many regenerations did she have left? Did she start with a full dozen or with less because she’s not full Time-Lord?
- Were they literally transferred to the Doctor (perhaps minus one used in actually bringing him back) or simply all expended in the act.
Speculation:
It’s been a long established rule that Time Lords are usually limited to 12 regenerations. That is, until this rule appeared to be fudged by Russell T Davies in Sarah Jane Adventures episode “Death of the Doctor” where the Doctor appears to indicate otherwise to Clyde - although this is later suggested to be a joke. But anyway, rule number 1: the Doctor lies.
I think this might be Moffat setting the Doctor up with more regenerations while still adhering to the 12-regeneration limit.
MOFFAT!!!
I was on Facebook and something catches my eye. I look to my right and I see an advert for an “officially licensed Doctor Who T-Shirt”. It’s got David Tennant on it…
I’ve just realised something. Matt Smith’s Doctor is my favourite of the lot (of the new Doctors anyway). I don’t mean their acting (wonderful in both cases) but rather the characterisation and the how the characters are written.
Really looking forward to the Christmas special… oh, and also for the fourth installment of the adventure games, which feature one of my favourite DW creatures: the Vashta Nerada, who are up there with the Weeping Angels. Obviously I’m a fan of Steven Moffat.
