I never really got why that was supposed to be a problem though. Why is Ten 2.0 more of a "copy" than Eleven is of Ten or Ten is of Nine or etc back to One?

I'd think the Donna-ness that Ten 2.0 absorbed, and the whole fitting time lord thoughts and 900+ years of memory into a human brain, and having totally alien instincts and impulses in a mortal human body, would present more of an issue.

(this is coming from some who thought that entire plot point was seriously wtf, just as a disclaimer)

[silverr]

Good points, all. Did I mention I get my Willing Suspension of Disbelief at Costco, in 50-gallon drums? :p

(And I can't articulate why the copyness makes sense to me: I suppose I'm afraid to poke at it too much. Certainly, as you point out, the "essence" of the Doctor isn't tied to any particular corporeal body.)

[intrigueing]

Ahhhh...Willing Suspension of Disbelief! My brand of choice works wonders when it comes to external logic (possibly because I've built up a robust immunity through exposure to loads of fantasy since I was born), but I've always had problems finding a type that consistently works for me when it comes to internal logic. ;)

[silverr]

I'm not sure I follow - can you explain how you define "internal logic" and "external logic"?

[intrigueing]

Suspension of disbelief with regards to external logic: Your ability to believe that an alien doohickey can make televisions suck people's faces off, because the out-of-universe writer tells you it's an alien doohickey that can make televisions suck people's faces off.

Suspension of disbelief wrt internal logic: Your ability to believe that said alien doohickey can conveniently work differently all of a sudden despite no change in actual relevant in-universe variables, because the in-universe characters say so.

[silverr]

Ah, I see, I think. If I understand you, by internal logic you mean whether something adheres to or breaks its own previously-established rules.

[intrigueing]

Yeah, sorry for being confusing ;)

[silverr]

You weren't confusing: I just wanted to understand your nomenclature.

TV Tropes has a page distinguishing the two views as Watsonian vs. Doylist.
