#will regret

Okay gonna have a little hate here but having seen various posts on what number/name to call him, I feel like some people have forgotten there's such a thing called a story that needs to be told first, and it's making me kinda sad.

Because we have utterly no idea who this guy is.

And judging by the trailer, he doesn't know either.

Just because he's got 10's face doesn't make him 10-ish.

Maybe he's totally new. Maybe he's a hologram who is only programmed to say ten random words from the dictionary per day. Maybe he's been cloned/grown in a sticky vat of gooey yellow stuff and now wants to divide himself across Planet Earth. Maybe he's a large bit of sculptured cheddar cheese artfully created by Mr Cheese from the planet Cheese and is now seeking out the perfect bottle of wine to form a spread with. Maybe he's a freaking unicorn whose mission is now to fling sparkle throughout the cosmos.

Or maybe he genuinely is the actual Tenth Doctor, disorientated, brought forward in time by the hordes of Genghis Khan from astride a mighty steed and forced to merge with his future body through the power of wishing. Or a multiverse Tentoo who's been transported through the void - ten seconds ago he was changing baby Mia on the changing table and now he's standing on a gorramn cliff.

Or maybe this fictional and amazing character has just undergone an extremely traumatic experience and has to spend some time figuring out what the hell has happened and who he is. The Doctor's literally just found himself back in a body he had 1000~ years ago for no apparent reason, and now we've got to find out why. Because, you know, story?

Just please wait to find out who this guy is before you start forcing an alternative identity on him. This is a drama that's become so large it needs a cataloguing system - these are just numbers that we use so we all understand who the heck is who after 60 years of this chaos. In the meantime just go with the flow and wait to see what's next.

(Also friendly reminder for anyone who wasn't around in the first RTD era that rule #1: RTD lies. A LOT. He can and probably will retract this at any second without any remorse as he curls up in the corner pointing at you giggling, 'ooooh, but the numbeeers(!)'

I don’t know, I guess we’ll see in the morning.
