John Simm is just an international treasure. He needs to be given every bloody acting award there is in every bloody country in the world just for being John Simm. He's amazing. I think he had fun too, although if you watch the DWC, he was really really not happy about having to do 32 costume changes in 4 hours. Or wearing tights. (Funnily enough, he didn't complain about wearing high heels, which was always Scott Bakula's complaint about playing women on Quantum Leap).
Six Billion Simm!Masters can't be wrong....whee! I am sure next week will be depressing in its own way. I am just praying that Wilf and Donna aren't sacrificed in the story along with 10. I am fine with him going. I just don't want poor Donna or Wilf being dragged along with him. (Esp when we're going to have suffer through yet another emo!Doctor's Twue Wuv scene. Feh.)
Russell keeps babbling about the regeneration in interviews. How maybe there wont be one, or it won't be what people expect blah blah blah. Unfortunately, that's given rise to a lot of speculation and/or belief that a) Eleven isn't actually Eleven, but One in his younger form and that the entire show is being reset to the beginning b) Eleven is an entirely different renegade Timelord (who just happens to call himself The Doctor and use a type 40 TARDIS stuck in the guise of an old school police phone box, even though its slightly different...oddly, there is definitely photographic evidence of a regeneration of sorts for the TARDIS!) c) Ten will not die, but survive in some form while Eleven branches off like 10.5 so that he can go ahead and have happy romantic adventures in a series of feature films with Rose.
And so on.
If there isn't a definitive regeneration scene where there's categorically no way of arguing that Ten does not become Eleven and it's the same damn Time Lord, then a lot of stupid fans (esp the squealing I-only-watch-the-show-for-David-Tennant-and-Billie-Piper types) will continue their delusions that Ten isn't dead and that Eleven doesn't count. *sigh*
I've seen the set photos of Eleven in Ten's costume (at least the brown pinstriped trousers, the white shirt and the swirly tie -- the jacket was apparently nicked on the last day of shooting for David), so yeah, something happens and I don't think some other Time Lord comes along and steals Ten's beat up clothes. LOL
I dunno. I just want to have definitive proof to stop that line of thinking. It's bad enough everyone thinks every character besides the Doctor is a) a fobwatched Time Lord, b) the Rani, c) Romana, d) Omega
