That said, from a sci-fi standpoint, and because I don't like Canon being altered in ways that were clearly not intended (from a writing point of view it grates for me), I don't particularly like that they've blatantly changed the regeneration "rules". In my opinion the timelords were clearly originally written as having a fixed gender, and that's been reconsidered recently and changed. If it had been that way from the start, fine, but it obviously wasn't. It also doesn't make sense that the doctor would have regenerated a dozen times and been male every time thus far. Statistically unlikely, surely. |
And they've changed more than that. Now he can take on the faces of people he's known in the past.
