okay these are all the doctors in chronological order in the current canon<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

everything was normal until John Hurt, who was a secret incarnation of The Doctor introduced retroactively in 2013<\/p>\n

this incarnation didn\u2019t call himself The Doctor during his life, because he didn\u2019t feel like he lived up to the title<\/p>\n

so despite Christopher Eccleston being the 10th incarnation of the Doctor, he was still referred to as The 9th Doctor<\/p>\n

THEN<\/p>\n

during one of David Tennant\u2019s episodes, he gets shot by a dalek for the first time ever and is forced to regenerate, but decides not to change his face by siphoning the regeneration energy into his own disembodied hand which is a fucking long story<\/p>\n

the short of it is that David Tennant regenerated into himself<\/p>\n

so<\/p>\n

David Tennant, known as the 10th Doctor, was actually the 11th and 12th incarnations of The Doctor, but was still known as the 10th Doctor for his whole tenure<\/p>\n

so now we\u2019re on Jodie Whittaker right<\/p>\n

who<\/p>\n

is known as the 13th doctor, because John Hurt wasn\u2019t called The Doctor and David Tennant was still called the 10th Doctor even when he was the 11th and 12th<\/p>\n

but technically she is the 15th incarnation of The Doctor and could just as easily be called the 15th Doctor<\/p>\n

PUT SIMPLY,,,,,,,,,,,,<\/p>\n

Jodie Whittaker plays the 15th incarnation of The Doctor, who has the 14th unique face of The Doctor, but is called the 13th Doctor because John Hurt and the David Tennant Two: The Re-Tennanting don\u2019t count in the number order<\/p>\n

i know it\u2019s silly<\/p>\n

but you\u2019re both right<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
