A Timelord must NOT regenerate in a time machine?

Odo speed in time was told why in the story?

If the Timelords could throw a diamond out of the time lock, it was not a good lock?

Why should the Dr fix Captain Jack up with boy from "voyage of the damned" ?

I thought that the timelord should not change people life line?

How could the the Dr travel so many places before he charged, most Dr's changed in a few minutes of dieing?

Could you any holes?

    Ood speed in time was told to show things weren't right and something major was afoot.

    He is a nice doctor and wanted to set his lonely friend who had recently lost a partner with another lonely friend.
    He could travel to so many places because if he just changed he wouldnt have been able to do all that, plus, the way the radiation or whatever was effecting him, might have been slow working!

    It's like it's been written as a Haiku!!

    1. Explain better?

    2. It was explained at the very beginning, time itself was collapsing and this was the side effect. They could see the future and advanced more quickly due to time collapsing. It wasn't suppose to happen. So that's why it was mentioned

    3. Both are lonely, it closes the story? Doctor forgives himself for Jack. So many other things

    4. The Timelords could do what they like, The Doctor is good so doesn't do it (unless he is broken like in Water of Mars... which explains this) but became evil and twisted they can do what they like.

    5. A slower regeneration, there is no set time on the process.

    I think the poster means that apparently if a Time Lord regenerates in a time machine, the time machine suddenly combusts.

    Fear not: the Doctor usually regenerates in the Tardis. This time it burnt for seemingly no reason whatsoever. Like many of the things that happen in recent Doctor Who episodes.

    Pertwee had time to hold himself together long enough to enter and pilot the Tardis back to Earth, and I think that also was radiation related?

    The doctor was helping everyone (well except Rose I guess) with his goodbyes...so fixing Jack up with Russell Tovey was to help him after the trauma of COE. Plus RTD loves RT lol.

    But wasn't this happening before the stuff with Gallifrey or even the rebirth of the Master? So how can it be a side effect of something that hadn't happened yet. Unless it was the same as the last episode of Star Trek TNG :)

    All the radiation he absorbed was released as part of the regeneration which is what destroyed the tardis

    Why didn't Rose recognise him after Eccleston regenerated if she'd seen him just 12 month before?

    How did the Time Lords manage such an exact lob with the diamond through the Time Lock? It fell almost at the Master's feet.

    How did the Dr survive a thousand foot plummet onto a marble floor without dying?

    Why was the Doctor able to shake off regeneration in Journey's End but not in this episode? Both were fatal enough to cause regeneration.

    My biggest problem is how come Davros could come alone but the Time Lords couldn't?

    In Journey's End, he had his old hand to pour the regeneration energy into.

    He didn't have that luxury this time round.

    I'm guessing as it was new years eve Rose was probably just a bit tipsy. She probably wouldn't remember a very short encounter like that.

    I wonder if you could remember everyone who wished you Happy New Year in the street returning from a new years party a year later.

    I would struggle the next day :o

    The mere fact that he had so long to regenerate speaks volumes of the lack of planning that went into this contrived episode.

    He could have gone and got help for his radiation poisoning from so many places...

    And how did The Lord Bond throw the diamond out through the Time Lock anyway?

    As for the TARDIS I believe that cos the Doctor was holding off his Regeneration for so long he was fighting it till the end. TARDIS#s usually help the regeneration, but cos he fought it for so long there was a build up in power- kinda like when you make a dam and then blow it up. Kaboom! Bang goes the TARDIS!

    As for the Diamond however.....
