[QUOTE="Viking Bastard, post: 5681251, member: 509"] The first doctor didn't regenerate into the 2nd Doctor as we think of it today, either. That's just because they were making it up as they went along and it took the mythology a few regenerations to establish itself properly. The 3rd Doctor is completely different from the 2nd Doctor and it was that regeneration that established the whole temporary amnesia post-regeneration that's been used for most regeneration stories since. The Doctor from the Dalek movies, on the other hand, is the Earth-2 Doctor, so to speak. He's not a Timelord, but Who, PhD. I actually thought this thread was about 'The Brain of Morbius', where we got to see the Doctor's past incarnations (and implied heavily that William Hartnell's Doctor wasn't the first). This gets a bit tricky, but here it is: He gets 12 regenerations, but that means 13 total Doctors, BUT David Tennant's Doctor used up 2 regenerations (that created the Doctor-Donna) so he has only one regeneration left instead of two, BUT Melody Pond just gave him her regenerations, BUT... so on and so forth. Doctor Who continuity is timey-wimey, to put it nicely. [/QUOTE]
