I was quite happy that it was not nearly as gruesome as some made the photos sound, but still my heart kind went to my throat when I saw those. Big chink in the denial I've got going here.
I might PM you the teaser later and see what you think. I'd say a bribe would be more of this, but you're already working on it. :-)
From what I've heard (having not seen it personally), there's some contraversy among Classic!fans over the fact that when Romana regenerated she was apparently able to choose between various different forms before deciding on what became Romana II. My guess is it lends credence to the fact that the Doctor isn't able to control what he looks like when he regenerates because it's almost always sudden or he's unconcious when it happens.
I can understand that. I suppose I just think that, in order to regenerate, the Doctor has to be badly injured. I don't want it to happen any more than you do, but at least it's a major thing for him, like it was with Ten, rather than brushed over like it was in some of Old Who. And at least there were visible marks so we won't have him destroyed by Daleks or Cybermen that leave no marks. I'm a bit sick of those two enemies for now.
I can work with that bribe! ;-)
And I'd forgotten about that. I really don't like the idea of the Time Lord being able to pick and choose (except in the case of Two into Three, which was very different).
*winces thinking about a spoiler she heard about S5* I get what you mean about the Doctor having to be injured in order to regenerate (Except for One into Two, which was the result of old age). Still, I'm having a touch of trouble letting go of my Doctor. *huggles Ten*
Yay! I'll send the PM later :-)
Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about that either, of course I should probably actually watch it before I register an opinion. Of course the reason Two into Three is different is that the footage of that regeneration was lost I think.
About those DT photos, I know I have them saved somewhere but if I cant find them, I'll google and send you the link.
I know, I know. I don't want to lose him either. *joins in huggle*
I have your PM and will comment soon.
Actually the regeneration of Two into Three is at the end of The War Games, which is on DVD. However they don't show it. Two is dragged into the darkness, crying 'no, no, no, etc.' and then I think the first ep of Three shows him falling out of the TARDIS on Earth. (Two is overacting almost painfully...)

I look forward to your thoughts.
I'll have to think about investing in some YouTube time and Classic DVDs then.
Hopefully I can find them.

Thoughts are with you and I'd be interested in your reaction to Two. I think he's my favourite Old!Who Doctor.

I got the thoughts and sent a reply and when I get the time and money I'll shall definitely invest more time in Classic!Who.
