Talk:Regeneration unit

Name and gross speculation
Can I get a reference for when in Regeneration this term is used? I hear something that sounds like "Regeneration unit", not "Regeneration circuit". Also, this business of "maybe the Time Lords fitted him with . . . " is pure speculation and should be removed, or, rather, put into an italicized, behind-the-scenes note. Nothing in the episode comes anywhere close to suggesting anything of the kind, and it's equally possible to suggest, from the episode, that the "regeneration unit" on the Mk III was simply destroyed in the far greater explosion in the Krillitane oil. One could just as easily speculate that the chances of the regen unit surviving a self-destruct were much greater, because K9 was in control of the explosion. The School Reunion explosion was had many more variables, because it was caused by an external force. Alternately, since the K9 boot screen shows two choices, it's wholly possible the Doctor could have retrieved the regen unit and forced it to return to the original configuration of the dog. There are several possibilities, and the article as it stands is far too presumptive.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍ 14:54, May 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * K9 says something like "regeneration unit delog indicates you saved it from damage", it's somewhat hard to tell (it's said at 10 minutes 17 seconds into the episode), it's either "regeneration unit delog" or "regeneration unity log". --Tangerineduel 16:05, May 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * The regeneration unit shown in Regeneration has an inscription on it that looks very much like Old High Gallifreyan (not the modern Gallifreyan that looks like a lot of circles). Although "maybe the Time Lords fitted him with . . . " certainly is speculation, there is some evidence to support it. That evidence is very far short of proof, of course. --2.96.16.121 22:12, November 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * The fact that the writing includes "δ³Σx²", which was given as the Doctor's name in The Making of Doctor Who, to me indicates that the intention of the makers of Regeneration was that the Doctor installed it. That may not be conclusive enough to say in the main article text, but I think it's conclusive enough to add in a background note. I need to check The Invisible Enemy to see whether the term is used there for what enables K9 to fight off the influence of the Virus of the Swarm — if it's not called a "regeneration unit" there, that bit should probably be removed, along with the "presumably built by Professor Marius" bit in the infobox. —Josiah Rowe talk to me 01:14, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Tardis
Dose not the Tardis itself regenerate after The Doctor's regenerate's or from whenever it recives serious damage such as the Titanic accident or the Tenth Doctor when he explodes the tardis when he is regenerating into his Eleventh Doctor's incarnation? ~ Awar 15:12, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * If not can some one add a link at the bottom to a related page about the tardis's version? ~ Awar 15:12, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
