A regeneration is cool, but I hope they go fairly minimalist with it. I like the more...explosive regenerations of the modern era well enough, but I don't think they need to be retconned into past ones.
- I really hope they'll do the old fade-aroo like in classic Who...
  Oh no wait — after the 60th specials RTD was raving about all the past regenerations potentially being bigenerations? And 2 into 3 was always the vaguest?
  ...he wouldn't, would he?
  
  Troughton regenerating into Jo Martin is ~~confirmed~~ definitely on the table.
  
  I doubt he would, yet I also think he's willing to pull just about anything...
