So remember how Ten got his hand cut off in The Christmas Invasion? And then he grew a new hand?
Well, that hand is slightly newer than the rest of his body, so when he regenerated, that hand still had some of the Doctor’s Tenth regeneration in it, and occasionally it reminds the Eleventh Doctor of that fact. It does this by doing things like letting Eleven know when he’s being stupid. As seen here:
Yup.
THIS!!!

I’ve never watched Avatar:the last airbender, so sure, we’ll watch that.
oh no we don’t need that line “i’ll do all that with a look”
Side Note To Fan Fic Authors
Here’s the thing.
I read a lot of scripts. A lot. From professionals to aspiring writers to complete newbies. Features and pilots. Specs and treatments.
And 8 times out of 10 the fan fic that I’ve read over the last, oh, 15 years is leagues better than this stuff. It’s more inspired. It’s more compelling. It’s genre bending and creative and heartfelt. It’s well-paced and intense and funny and sexy and meaningful. It’s smart and thoughtful and good. It’s novel-quality. Better than, sometimes.
Rare is the script I don’t want to put down, but how often have we stayed up until 3am to get to the last chapter of a 100k fic? And it’s not even a fan fic author’s day job. This is what they do on the side. In their spare time. For free.
So my point is, fan fic authors, you’re good. You’re good writers and great storytellers. I know it doesn’t always feel like it, especially if you’re one of the authors who’s not a BNF and doesn’t get the notes/hits that a few do. And because some people still view fic as “not real writing.” You guys know the shit that gets made into movies. You’re better than that. So be better than that. If writing is what you think want to do, then just know you’re already doing it. You’ve already started.
And you’re more talented than you might think.
