[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 381199, member: 40536"] There is a major difference between enhancing an established continuity and reinventing it in a contradictory way. The Chibnall origin story indicated that the Doctor could regenerate endlessly and is never in any real danger. Matt Smith in his final incarnation gave a tremendous performance, knowing that he would not regenerate again (or so he thought). Now, it has no impact because he was going to regenerate anyway. It was not clear in the Brain of Morbius whether those faces were past doctors, at least until Chibnall asserted it. Regeneration did not have to have a name, it happened twice before Pertwee/Baker. If Chibnall is to be believed, Hartnell couldn't have been the first to leave Gallifrey if Jo Martin is a Doctor (who calls the TARDIS the ship, and doesn't have Susan). The show can appear to contradict itself, but there is still an established continuity with possible variations on a basic foundation. The name of the show is Doctor Who. Chibnall eliminated the mystery. [/QUOTE]
