A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Not that they could without ending the show, but if he knows he's just going to pop up somewhere with a new body and some different personality quirks but the same memories and basically the same person, what is really the big deal about "dying"?
They haven't explained this at all. But when he thought his daughter had died, he said "She was too much like me." The Doctor should have thirteen incarnations, but I think he believes that since Gallifrey is gone, he may not have many regenerations left. They should be explaining why he thinks that, of course, since he's already regenerated at least once (and used regeneration energy to stay the same another time) since the destruction of Gallifrey.
It might not be dying-dying, but it is some sort of dying. That's how I always explained it to myself. Plus, he doesn't have endless regenerations, right?

Thirteen, as once stated in the pre-RTD series. But that could change - I wouldn't put it past the BBC/Moffat's team to write in a few more.
Edit: Twelve regenerations. Thirteen incarnations.
Wait... they showed Water of Mars in the US and I missed it?
Yeah, Theo, Saturday night. I only caught it by chance. They'll surely air it again.
::sniffles::
And here I stayed pure so that I could catch it on American broadcast!
You're ALL on notice.
I'm sure it'll be repeated before the first part of the Xmas special which is running on the 26th.
The 26th on BBC America.
Mark your calendar.
On December 26, The Waters of Mars airs at 7:45, and The End of Time, Part 1 airs at 9:00pm.
The End of Time, Part2 is scheduled for January 2.
That's my birthday!
Of course, I'll most probably be at a relatives' house that does not receive BBCA. Such is the cruelty of the wintry holidays.

It's due to air on the BBC in the UK on the 25th (pt 1) and 26th (pt 2). So both eps should be ahemable well before January. If that helps at all!
I'm concerned because my mother wants to serve dinner at 5pm on Christmas Day, and Doctor Who is on at 6. We may end up watching it on the BBC iPlayer back at the hotel at some ridiculous hour of the night on Christmas Day. The hotel had better have wireless internet.
Two words, Seska: dial and up. This is the Catskills house where they can only use satellite TV because cables don't go up their road....
