If I am remembering/reading correctly, JodieDoc regenerated into
DoctorDavid (2nd time) at the end of her stint and then, as part of the
Christmas mini-season, DoctorDavid regenerated into DoctorDavid and
DoctorNcuti at which some here-abouts were a bit incredulous.

But it might be a natural part of Gualifreyan life.

I have theorised that this might have been a natural part of 'The
Timeless Child' story ..... Things started with 'The Timeless Child' and
'The Timeless Child' regenerated into 'The Timeless Child' and another
Time Lord ...... and 'The Timeless Child' regenerated into 'The Timeless
Child' and another Time Lord ...... and 'The Timeless Child' regenerated
into 'The Timeless Child' and another Time Lord ...... etc, over and
over again.

However, these new Timelords, usually, have a restricted Regeneration
Cycle, i.e. 12 regenerations. The Timeless Child, however, has an
undefined/indefinite Regeneration Cycle.

Now, have we, EVER, actually seen a TimeLord/Lady *DIE* ?? Given an
extra regeneration cycle, SURE, but actually DIE?? My failing memory
says *NO* !!

So how's this for a theory?? When a TimeLord/Lady has exhausted their
allocation of regenerations, they get re-absorbed back into The Timeless
Child a.k.a. The Doctor (remember that character that got re-absorbed
into the re-generating DoctorTom/DoctorPeter ... The Watcher??).

So Two became One.

And now, apparently, some of you have seen The Timeless Child a.k.a.
DoctorDavid regenerate into The Timeless Child a.k.a. DoctorDavid and
DoctorNcuti. One into Two !!

One gets 'reabsorbed', one gets split!! So, as far as we know, the
number of TimeLords/Ladys has returned to normal.

Q.E.D.!!

Discuss.

Doctor Who ended in 2017, therefore there is no Timeless Child.

Matt Smith came to the end of the Doctor's regeneration cycle in The
Time of the Doctor and Clara had to beg the Time Lords to give him a new
one. The Timeless Child monster totally destroys the 11th Doctor's story
arc.

Well, when Bobby Ewing stepped out of the shower Pam realised it had
just been a bad dream...for some Doctor Who fans it's been a very
bad dream and they are still awaiting the shower scene.

That observation is the best I can do to such a mind-dizzying theory!

And from ChatGPT

ntroduction:

Since its inception in 1963, Doctor Who has been a beloved science fiction series cherished by fans worldwide. Throughout its many iterations, the show has captivated audiences with its imaginative storytelling, compelling characters, and, perhaps most importantly, its rich lore. However, in recent years, controversy has surrounded the revelation of the Timeless Child, introduced during Chris Chibnall's tenure as showrunner, and portrayed by Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor. This article argues for the retconning of the Timeless Child narrative, citing its departure from established canon and its detrimental impact on the essence of Doctor Who.

Unraveling the Lore:

Doctor Who is renowned for its intricate and well-established lore, meticulously crafted over decades. The revelation of the Timeless Child in the twelfth season marked a significant departure from this established canon. The introduction of an unknown incarnation of the Doctor prior to the First Doctor contradicts decades of storytelling and undermines the mystery surrounding the character. The Doctor's origin story, once shrouded in mystery and intrigue, is now reduced to a mere footnote in a convoluted narrative.

Furthermore, the Timeless Child's revelation diminishes the significance of the Doctor's choices and experiences throughout their many lives. By implying that the Doctor's abilities are innate rather than earned through centuries of learning and growth, the Timeless Child narrative diminishes the agency and heroism of the character. The Doctor's journey, once defined by their quest for redemption and their commitment to justice, is overshadowed by a predetermined destiny imposed upon them by outside forces.

Alienating the Fanbase:

Doctor Who boasts a dedicated fanbase that spans generations, united by their love for the series and its enduring legacy. However, the Timeless Child storyline has proven divisive among fans, with many expressing their dissatisfaction with the direction of the show under Chibnall's stewardship. The decision to radically alter the Doctor's backstory without proper justification or regard for established canon has alienated long-time fans and eroded their trust in the creative team.

Moreover, the casting of Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor was initially met with excitement and anticipation, as she became the first woman to portray the iconic character. However, Whittaker's tenure has been marred by inconsistent writing and lackluster storytelling, exacerbated by the controversial Timeless Child arc. While Whittaker's performance has been widely praised, her tenure as the Doctor has been overshadowed by creative decisions that detract from the core principles of the series.

Preserving the Essence of Doctor Who:

At its core, Doctor Who is a show about hope, resilience, and the triumph of good over evil. Throughout its long history, the series has tackled complex themes and moral dilemmas, all while celebrating the boundless potential of the human spirit. Retconning the Timeless Child narrative is not about erasing the past but rather reclaiming the essence of Doctor Who and restoring the sense of wonder and mystery that defines the series.

By retconning the Timeless Child, Doctor Who can once again embrace its rich history while charting new and exciting adventures for the Doctor and their companions. The show can return to its roots as a beacon of optimism and imagination, inspiring viewers of all ages to believe in the power of kindness, empathy, and the endless possibilities of the universe.

Conclusion:

The Timeless Child storyline represents a departure from the core principles and established canon of Doctor Who, alienating fans and undermining the legacy of the series. By retconning this controversial narrative, the show can reclaim its identity and reaffirm its status as a beloved cultural institution. Doctor Who is more than just a television show; it's a timeless journey through time and space, and it's time to ensure that journey remains true to its roots.

Yes, I am! All they need to do is admit it's been the Master (or some
other lunatic) setting it all up to _appear_ that way, but it was never
true. :)

Well, people here now know what I think of the whole thing... Sorry

Matt Smith is only the eleventh incarnation (Original plus TEN
regenerations) so he hadn't run out of his 12 Regenerations limit. So
Clara got The Doctor extra regenerations .... before they were actually
needed.

Bugger!! In actually doing some research, I may have buggered myself up

Hurt's Doctor doesn't use the title. [Matt Smith's Doctor] is in his

as the 11th Doctor - he's just The Doctor, that's what he calls himself."
End Quote.

'12th body but he's the 11th Doctor'?? That can't be right, can it??

Tennant regenerated back into his own body after he was shot by the
Daleks in The Stolen Earth. Thus Matt Smith was the 13th
incarnation/12th regeneration of the Doctor 'and that is the end for a
Time Lord' to quote the Doctor himself.

The show has evolved since then and things have changed.

Without a Doctor Who 'Bible' to lay forth a distinct canon, Doctor
Who is whatever the current showrunner deems it to be. Right or
wrong Steven Moffat had one view, Chris Chibnall another and now RTD
is going forward doing it his way.

In other words, that was then this is now!
