1. Uh, sorry, no, there is no "should". The reason partings are a big deal now is because the audience of today is not the audience of last generation -- they need emotional continuity from episode to episode, or it feels strange. It's a different way of doing television. Of course, it doesn't have to be bullshit "Doomsday" level soppiness, but companions "coming and going"? You must be entirely deluded if you think a modern audience would respond to that with anything other than confusion and outrage. Also, the Doctor's in a different situation now than before. His species is gone, he's alone, of course he's going to be more clingy than before.

2. You...seriously did not just cite Romana's regeneration gag as serious supporting evidence. Please don't tell me you did that. Use all the Doctor's previous regenerations! The ones that weren't ridiculously OTT like Ten's, but actually acknowledged how big a deal a new personality is.

3. When did it say it was "the same as birth"? He changed his personality. Before his personality was fully established, he met a little girl, helped her with a crack in her wall, and got suckered into a massive shitstorm crisis while helping her. What's exactly so completely wrong about the idea that hey, maybe something like that can influence and help shape an uncompleted personality?

Oh...I see. Because the Old Series never did it? Sorry to burst your bubble, sweetums, but the Old series introduced new concepts all the time, baby doll. All. The. Time. Exploring things more deeply. Adding new layers to ideas. Adding new ideas. Coming up with new possibilities and new reveals. Why should the new series just stop adding new ideas to the show? The old series never stopped. Just because an idea hasn't been in canon yet doesn't mean it's wrong.

I'm sorry, could you make yourself sound a bit more like an self-righteous asshole, anon? I just wasn't quite feeling the wank there. If you just put a wee bit more effort in, maybe a "did you really" or maybe another "babycake" or two, I think that would be enough to put it over the top to hilarity.

I'm the anon that thing was replying to, and trust me, it went well over the top into hilarity. XD
