I'm guessing he's gonna merge with the TARDIS and reset his generation by killing someone else. Perhaps even Riversong.interspark said:

is that how a time lord resets their re-generation cycle? by killing someone else? but dont be stupid he CANT kill River Song she has a fixed point of death (in the library, remember?)The_root_of_all_evil said:
The Master reset his counter by absorbing the Keeper of Traken in Logopolis.interspark said:
And Riversong didn't die there, did she?
she was frazzled by an electric chair, you cant die much more than that! all she is now is facts and figures in a computer system, a person, you could definately argue, but nonetheless dead. unless the doctor plans to re-generate by "deleting" her from the program i fail to see the logic in your theory.The_root_of_all_evil said:
and also, this isnt a situation where time can be re-written, because if river doesnt die in the library, the doctor DOES! and then not only does he never reset his timer, but the universe then gets shredded by "the silence"
If the Doctor really wants to be ginger, there's always Damian Lewis (Maj. Richard Winters in Band of Brothers).
Yep, he's a proper ginger!

Ask Rory about that.interspark said:
Virtual people can be made real. It just takes a little "thought" (See Rory again)
There's always the chance he can reverse the polarity of the neutron flow...
I could take that awfully out of context and say that they were both assistances to a white master...but we all know I would be talking out of my arse.kikon9 said:
On Topic: I wouldn't really mind, I'd just want the guy to be mad as a hatter. I like my doctors crazy.
If they go and pick a black Doctor to seem equal-opportunities, the next Doctor after that will be a woman (the '24' school of equal opportunities).
It would be farcical. It would be a hundred times more racist to shoehorn in a ridiculous story about the Doctor turning into a black man (which in the Doctor's universe would have to be explained, on screen, in some excruciatingly PC way).
At least in 24 it served a purpose to the narrative, not just a novelty.
Personally I think the Doctor should continue to be played by relative unknowns. Established actors are likely to disappoint, especially if people just think that other character's they have played are somehow 'like' the Doctor (see Hugh Laurie, Anthony Head, etc.). David Tennant certainly didn't seem like a 'Doctor' type, and neither did Eccleston before him.

Reverse-racism is almost as bad as regular racism.
Besides, the only thing the Doctor needs to be is British. (And a good actor, but that's a given)

ok, lets assume, by some miracle, everything you say is true, do you really think the doctor would sacrifice river to save himself?? the man whos most frequently said phrases currently reads 1- geronimo! 2- NOOOOOOOOOOOO let ME be the sacrifice!!!The_root_of_all_evil said:
Well, given we know that Riversong already betrays him, perhaps it's the best thing...Maybe he needs to?interspark said:
And did you see the Master's 13th form?
And I should have been able to pick that up from his role as The Doctor because...JaymesFogarty said:
creepy, and correction, we think River betrays him, obviously all facts would point to River at some point killing, or trying to kill, the doctor. but we dont KNOW! even if she does kill him, im sure its her last possible option and that she feels rotten about it.The_root_of_all_evil said:Well, given we know that Riversong already betrays him, perhaps it's the best thing...Maybe he needs to?interspark said:

besides, the doctor never wants ANYONE to die, not Davros, not the Master, Not dalek Kahn (before he went mad), not the Sontarans... you get the idea
yes! awesomeLiberaliter said:Joseph Paterson is the perfect candidate.
Not that well known but has a role in Peep Show and Survivors in the UK. And he's British so that would work. Apparently they were considering him anyway before Matt Smith got the part.
