waaaaait--
hang on moffat said he actually looked at the five doctors
you're telling me he said that not only did the "which incarnation are you" "fourth" "so there are five of me now"--you're telling me that not only did he get "they don't go by numbers" from that exchange, which is, like, true only in an orwellian world, he knew that there are 14 incarnations in a regeneration cycle and just--ignored it because of his own ego, certain that no one would go back to fact check him
you're really saying that
i hadn't seen the full quote whatttttt
very wow
much oof
(....lbr he probably just watched the credits.    note to self-
check what the credits look like)
okay no that doesn’t even work it just lists them all as The Doctor what is this man what is his ego what is his proofreading where is his very basic foundational ability as a writer to keep track of details and not change things every single episode how was he given things like this without a test to determine he could write at a minimum level how does he exist
