If 11 sprang from Wilf he wouldn't be 11. He'd be someone else.

I'm wondering if something will happen with the part of Donna that is the Doctor.

Eh. So much for my gleeful mind-dance. You are right, of course.

I'm just trying to figure out how all this is connected, but I'm having no luck. Either that means it's great storytelling or I'm slipping.

Did we know before today that we was more special than, say, Micky?

The Doctor commented on the coincidence the second time he met Wilf, as it's odd that he runs into people more than once. (Micky wouldn't count, because he only ran into the Doctor multiple times because of Rose. Likewise, Jack and Donna were looking for the Doctor, and it took a long time -- Jack, a century of camping out somewhere where he knew the Doctor would turn up; Donna -- perhaps a bit too serendipitously -- by investigating weird shit she was sure he'd be involved in, and even that took a year or two. Sarah Jane continued on investigating Doctor-ish things, and took a few decades to run across him again. So yeah, Wilf's continually crossing his path must seem suspicious. But then, I don't know that it means he's a time lord, either.

But then ...

It should be noted that the name Wilfred Mott is an Anagram for the phrase "WTF Time Lords" or "Time Lords WTF".

Yeah, that seems suspicious. (:

Re: bonny's speculation - It's a long shot, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did something like that. *Something* is going to be very different about this regeneration. The Girl and I were talking about the possibility of Wilf being a future incarnation of the Doctor (he's unwittingly met with future incarnations of himself before). Not likely, but you never know!

In terms of why Donna doesn't change (her mother does, doesn't she?), that has to be because she's part Time Lord. It's going to be interesting to see how they use that.

The anagram is fun, but if it's intentional, it's for internet fandom, given the 'WTF' - I can't see them highlighting that like they did with 'Yana' standing for You Are Not Alone. They do like their anagrams, though - Torchwood was used on Doctor Who tapes as code for the show, apparently, long before they decided to do something with that name. So you never know how far back they thought of this. (Or it's just a coincidence. :P )

When have we seen the Doctor tear up like that before? I don't recall having seen him quite this broken and down, even about Rose.

I don't think he has, which is why the moment got me so much. We've seen him scared before but not broken and usually not about himself, only others.

I got so hungry watching The End of Time that I had to hit pause and nuke some turkey with all the fixings. And I'd already had two bowls of a very delicious fish stew.

How did the doctor get knocked out when the master was kidnapped? I thought he was shot, like, with bullets (I had a vision of the last two hours of Ten's life being "and is this how he dies? Nope. This? Nope. And now?"). Did he actually just trip and knock himself out?

I believe he got tranqued.

Whereas I may never look at a whole turkey the same way again. John Simm had way too much fun with those scenes.

At least it was more bearable than Denethor? gnoshing on cherry tomatoes, what with the bursting of flesh and the juice dribbling down his chin.
