What's your favorite Doctor Who line or moment?

The most common opinion I've heard is that the limit is a Gallifreyan law/rule, not a biological limit. And with the Time Lords no longer in control, there's nobody to enforce it.

The whole subject is a fantastic recipe for a story arc, anyway. I'm sure whatever way they go, it'll be fun.

Another thing I was just thinking of, it really doesnt matter if Hurt or Capaldi is the Valeyard cause he wont be able to travel back to be a prosecutor against himself during the whole Trial of a Timelord thing cause of the timeshield on Gallifrey, gah! time-travel is so confusing!!

Time can be rewritten. In this case, I guess it must have been.

i don't think either is the Valeyard. That's (a) too obvious for Moffat and (b) doesn't really work anyway.

It would make some sense for Hurt to be the Valeyard, if he turned his back on what the Doctor was supposed to stand for, but doesnt really mesh with what information we got about the Valeyard from Trial of the Timelord. If memory serves, and it usually doesnt, The Valeyard was supposed to be somewhere between #11&13, but then, if memory serves, that information also came from the Master, so he could of been lieing or didnt know as much as he thought he did. Any way, Im anxious to see how this all plays out.

The Valyard was a distillation of the Doctor's anger and bitterness, from somewhere between the 11th and 12th regenerations.

Best lines:
Optimism: an irrational belief, bordering on the insane, that everything will work out alright in the end.

The "Homo Sapiens" speech from Ark in Space
The Good-bye speech to Susan
7th Doctor's miss-quoted sayings.
"Ah yes... It will be twins."
The sugar discussion from Remembrance of the Daleks.
"It's a Fearmongoid from Fearmongos."
"I've done it again. Another stupid ape!"
"So many species, so little time."
"Do something Brilliant with your life."
"It can't be... After all this time... Sarah Jane Smith."
"I don't believe it! He's stolen the Tardis... AGAIN."
Bang-bang-a-boom--the whole frickin story.

Lots of them throughout the years but my favorite is either River's monologue at the end of "Silence in the Library" or the moments where Donna and the Doctor learn the truth about the Ood in "Planet of the Ood". The farewell to Rose and Amy saving the Starwhale are up there also.

From O-Who-only it's probably the Susan farewell with Peter Davison's outro being a close second.

It doesn't fit the canon as I understand it. The Valeyard is probably not a particular regeneration. To quote the Master:

"There is some evil in all of us, Doctor – even you. The Valeyard is an amalgamation of the darker sides of your nature, somewhere between your twelfth and final incarnation, and I may say you do not improve with age."

It is only in the novelization that this is made into, "The Valeyard, Doctor, is your penultimate reincarnation... Somewhere between your twelfth and thirteenth regeneration". Either way, it sounds like he comes *between* regenerations, and isn't really one himself.

If you use the novel's version, and Hurt is inserted between McGann and Eccleston, that would imply that the Valeyard either won't happen, or happens between Smith and Capaldi!

If you use the original script, that implies perhaps more than 13 for The Doctor, and the Valeyard is an unspecified time in the future.

Of course, the Time Lock on Gallifrey rather puts the arising of the Valeyard in question.

 

[The_Silversword]

Thirteenth regeneration!? Thats interesting, being as that theyre only supposed to get 12. Of course, how many has the Master had now?

I don't have a favorite Dr Who moment ... yet. When the rage flows forth from the many depressed and disillusioned fans once the show is killed off, though? That'll be my favorite Dr Who moment.
