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.)

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. ;)

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

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.

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.

Yeah, sorry for being confusing ;)

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

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