(This was from the Sarah Jane Chronicles show, and he was speaking under duress and to an enemy at the time, but if whatever authority allowed the Time Lords to grant additional regeneration packs passed on to the Doctor or the Tardis after the Time War, one could read that as the absolute, physical limit for someone with unlimited access to extra regeneration sets.)Jeff R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-68023059236998677662013-01-18T13:53:25.643-04:002013-01-18T13:53:25.643-04:00Not sure I'd say "soon", it's st...Not sure I'd say "soon", it's still 7 years before The Five Doctors makes that suggestion.<br /><br />Your exercise in numerology just confuses me though.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-40882973180229135992013-01-18T13:37:57.770-04:002013-01-18T13:37:57.770-04:00Well, they also establish that the Time Lords can ...Well, they also establish that the Time Lords can grant additional 12*-packs of regenerations fairly soon as well. (*: Or possibly 13-packs. The fact that 507 is divisible by 13 but not 12 argues for the bakers dozens camp.) Which opens the door for the theory that 'The Doctor' is a witness-protection type identity, and that the same time lord had at least one cycle before assuming it...Jeff R.noreply@blogger.com
