2024-11-21 15:51:24 +0000 UTCYou're not wrong but it all worked out having her because now they have a family together! The story is funny though how she immediately wanted to he with him but he felt she was too young and it took a while for her to convince him

2024-11-21 11:53:58 +0000 UTCI love this episode. I love the message. I love Tennant's performance. I love Donna's brilliance. I love Martha's heart. I love the backstory reveal. Etc. All that being said, David and Georgia have WAY too much onscreen sexual chemistry to be playing a father and daughter. Maybe she was going for "cheeky" but it really comes off as playfully flirty when in such close proximity to David's boyish charisma. I have to work hard to suppress my vague sense of ick. While I think Georgia is a good actress, I kind of wish they had went younger for the character. If the daughter character were like 16, we could have gotten all the same jokes but devoid of any accidental heat.

2024-11-20 22:48:59 +0000 UTCWe are in agreement. That's what I'd said, if that had not been clear enough, I have tried to edit it a little now. I had wanted to originally say how easy it could be to conclude it's a regeneration. Emme has seen one regeneration. I thought to point out, that the choice not to, had also been presented as well, with The Master character. That adds an element of conscious choice. Appreciate that with one single frame of reference, and the circumstances of Jenny's origins, it would be very easy to conclude that's what was maybe partly happening here. But also to say that without being specific, the evolution of the principles of regeneration have evolved as the show has. Both with how it's visually presented and used. The truth is we don't know, from what's presented in this episode, explicitly why Jenny came back to life. Can we say with all certainty that her origins play no small or significant part at all in her resurrection / resuscitation / regeneration.

2024-11-20 13:32:20 +0000 UTCI'll just add a couple of points, From what I've heared, Jenny did not regenerate, she was healed and resuscitated by the Source, which was why the energy that came out Jenny was the same colour as the rest of the source and why there were no fireworks. Also the reason Jenny stayed the same.

2024-11-20 12:41:58 +0000 UTCSure, I can understand that. My quite elaborate way of saying specifically why I see that this can be construed as a regeneration, but perhaps isn't widely regarded as one. And then reasoning out my own conclusions as to why I think that. Our precieved understanding of regeneration has evolved as the show has. Given it's origins stemmed from a desire to continue the legacy of 'The Doctor' character in a particular way that could make sense.

2024-11-19 22:01:12 +0000 UTCModern regen energy has previously been depicted as not looking too dissimilar to what most would regard as the terraforming 'source' that exits Jenny's mouth as she is resurrected, as a result of the planet Messaline's terraforming process. The light shines on her from the windows has an visual implication too. I wouldn't say that the 'rules' have been historically explicit for this process of regeneration. Obviously circumstances could be regarded as different here, with Jenny's progeny. The process has been thought to typically require a change in appearance though. Perhaps, what can be suggested by The Masters refusal, is it could be thought to be a voluntary component, rather than necessarily a reaction to death. Something that can happen during, and maybe not after death has taken place. Combine some of those factors and we might conclude this wasn't necessarily a regeneration but a resurrection. Which is somewhat splitting hairs, given the meaning of those words are not too dissimilar. But for the purposes of Who, we might wish to make a clear distinction with the use of the word regeneration specifically.

2024-11-19 15:44:45 +0000 UTCThen, Georgia Moffett, now Tennant, is the daughter of another actor to play The Doctor. He changed his name to Peter Davison for the actors union. You saw him in time crash.
