10th Doctor  Reply with quote  

Ok, I have never seen the episode Brain of Morbious, but apparently, Tom Baker sees all the doctors that came before him, Pertwee, Troughton, Hartnell, and some more.....

Is this true, and how many did he see?

Is the show going to ingnore this?!

I read about that. Apparently, the "Doctors" he seen before Hartnell were in fact the previous regenerations of the other person.

The Doctor had a mind-battle or something against another Time Lord and images appeared of previous "Doctors" but were in fact previous incarnations of both the Doctor (Hartnel, Throughton and Pertwee) and then of the other Time Lord.

Der Martin is away as the Christmas Invasion is not showing in Germany for a couple of days AFTER Christmas. Harsh, I know. Sad

Looks like Der Zhord is here to the rescue Wink

In The Brain of Morbius (produced shortly before Assassin), it was implied through visual images displayed during a mental battle between the Doctor and Morbius that the Doctor had at least eight incarnations prior to the First Doctor. However, multiple dialogue references throughout the series (particularly in The Three Doctors and The Five Doctors) contradict this, as well as the fact that the Doctor has regenerated five times since Peter Davison. Explanations by fans have included theories that the images were of Morbius's previous incarnations or that they were false images induced by the Doctor. The Doctor Who novels have suggested that these may have been faces of the Other, a figure from Gallifrey's ancient past and the genetic predecessor of the Doctor (although being from the spin-off novels, the canonicity of this character is debatable).

It seems to contradict all other Doctor Who lore in indicating that the Doctor had eight previously unseen incarnations before the William Hartnell one. This certainly appears to have been what the production team intended to suggest at the time, although an equally valid alternative interpretation is that the images in question are actually those of Morbius's earlier selves - it is, after all, Morbius who loses the contest, the aim of which is apparently to force one's opponent back mentally to the point of their birth, and if he does seem to be gloating in triumph when the images appear this can presumably be attributed to his unsound state of mind. At the end of the day, maybe all that matters is that the scene provides a dramatic and intriguing resolution to the action.
