- You may be looking for other pages of the same name or a list of the reasons why the Doctor and others regenerated.
Regeneration was the process by which Time Lords renewed themselves, causing a complete physical and often psychological change. It could happen because of severe illness (TV: Planet of the Spiders, The Caves of Androzani, The End of Time, Day of the Moon), old age/fatigue (TV: The Tenth Planet, The Day of the Doctor) or injury. (TV: Logopolis, Time and the Rani, Doctor Who, Utopia, Let's Kill Hitler) It could also be invoked by choice, whether voluntary (TV: Destiny of the Daleks, The Night of the Doctor, Nightmare in Silver) or involuntary. (TV: The War Games) Conversely, regeneration could be prevented by choice, although failure to regenerate from fatal damage was essentially a choice to die. (TV: Last of the Time Lords)
Background Edit
How regeneration worked Edit
Different explanations were given for the process of regeneration.
One theory held that Cardinal Rassilon had been investigating a method of regenerating decayed and diseased tissue via a series of self-replicating, biogenic molecules. The cells of a Gallifreyan body would be repaired, restored and re-organised, resulting in a wholly new physical form. The brain cells would also be rearranged, though to a lesser extent; the new incarnation would retain the memories of the former incarnation, though the personality of the Time Lord or Lady could change, the degree of this change depending upon the Time Lord or Lady in question. Rassilon intended this mechanism only for the Gallifreyan elite. He also input a parameter of twelve regenerative cycles to avoid decaying biogenic molecules. (AUDIO: Zagreus)
Another explanation stated that Time Lords had triple-helix DNA: the third strand was added by Rassilon to enable regeneration. (PROSE: The Crystal Bucephalus)
According to Madame Vastra, the Eleventh Doctor theorised that exposure over billions of years to the Untempered Schism contributed to the Time Lords' ability to regenerate. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War)
Details Edit
Time Lords released massive amounts of a hormone called lindos in moments of extreme trauma, and it was this hormone which triggered regeneration. Newly regenerated Time Lords could be identified by elevated levels of lindos in their system. (PROSE: The Twin Dilemma, AUDIO: Unregenerate!)
Time Lords were also said to have "packets" of regeneration energy in their bodies, one for each life. These packets could be physically removed from a Time Lord's body, essentially robbing them of their regenerations. (TV: Mawdryn Undead)
Process Edit
Appearance Edit
During a regeneration, a Time Lord's body shone with milky white light, (TV: The Tenth Planet, Logopolis, PROSE: The Indestructable Man) a swirl of rainbow colours, (TV: Time and the Rani, Utopia) crackled with electricity, (TV: Doctor Who) or with a violent-seeming discharge of bio-energy, capable of causing damage. (COMIC: The Forgotten, TV: The Parting of the Ways, Utopia, The Stolen Earth, The End of Time, Day of the Moon, Let's Kill Hitler, The Night of the Doctor, The Day of the Doctor) In other cases, there was no visible energy discharge, just a fade away to the next incarnation. (TV: Planet of the Spiders, PROSE: The Ancestor Cell, The Touch of the Nuzrah)
Some regenerations occurred with other individuals in close proximity. These times, the energy from the Doctor's body wasn't particularly violent. (TV: The Tenth Planet, Planet of the Spiders, Logopolis, The Caves of Androzani, Time and the Rani) However, from his eighth incarnation onwards the Doctor warned anyone in close proximity to a regeneration to keep away. This happened with members of the Sisterhood of Karn prior to the Eighth Doctor transforming into his so-called War Doctor incarnation (TV: The Night of the Doctor), with Rose Tyler just before the regeneration of the Ninth Doctor, (TV: The Parting of the Ways), with Jack Harkness, Donna Noble, and Rose when the Tenth Doctor had an aborted regeneration during the 2009 Dalek invasion of Earth, (TV: The Stolen Earth), and when the Eleventh Doctor realised that Mels was regenerating. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler) Why he thought this was necessary became clear when the damage from the Tenth Doctor's regeneration into the Eleventh caused enough damage to the TARDIS to force a complete reconstruction into a different design. (TV: The End of Time) The Doctor is confirmed to have regenerated alone at the end of his seventh, War Doctor and tenth incarnations.
Physical and mental change Edit
During regeneration, there were the genetic equivalent of "bit errors" in the DNA of the regenerating cells. The Time Lord would change in appearance, height, mass or apparent age. The personality would also change; even the cells and chemistry of the brain regenerated. Although the aspects of their personality caused by "nurture", their basic personality, would not change, the "nature", their aspects, quirks, and habits, contribution to their personality would. (AUDIO: The Sirens of Time) With each incarnation, the Doctor's memory worked differently. (PROSE: Nothing O'Clock) One source stated that Time Lords were born with just one heart and grew a second heart on regeneration. This included the Doctor, who in his first incarnation had only one heart. (PROSE: The Man in the Velvet Mask) According to the Eleventh Doctor, every regeneration was painful. (TV: Death of the Doctor)
More extreme changes were possible. Cavisadoratrelundar regenerated a complete body after being decapitated; the process was cut short when he was stabbed through both hearts. (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon) The Eleventh Doctor at first thought he had become a woman before rediscovering his Adam's Apple, (TV: The End of Time) while the Ninth Doctor suggested two heads or none were possible (TV: The Parting of the Ways). His eleventh incarnation stated clearly that he could become "anything". (TV: Death of the Doctor) Romana was known to be able to choose her appearance; one option she considered was coloured blue. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks) The Corsair was a Time Lord/Time Lady whom the Doctor had known in both sexes. (TV: The Doctor's Wife) Time Lords could also change their skin colour, as mentioned by the Doctor, (TV: Death of the Doctor) and seen in Melody Pond's case when she regenerated into her third and final incarnation. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)
In nearly all cases, Time Lord regenerations remained humanoid; one Time Lord, Lord Cardinal Zero, regenerated into an avian lifeform. (AUDIO: Spring) Though a healthy body seemed to be the default, the Doctor's eleventh incarnation made it a priority - even amidst serious damage to his TARDIS - to immediately conduct a physical inventory to make sure he still had two legs and sufficient fingers, eyes, ears, a nose, chin and hair, which does imply that regeneration can lead to dismemberment. (TV: The End of Time)
After-effects Edit
During the first few hours of the regeneration, the Time Lord might suffer from confusion, erratic behaviour, extended periods of unconsciousness, or memory loss. Motor control could be impaired, (the Eleventh Doctor expressed difficulty "steering" his new body, having walked into a tree minutes earlier), and a Time Lord could suffer random spasms as the regeneration settled. (TV: The Eleventh Hour) The Doctor, in particular, seemed extremely susceptible to side-effects from the regenerative process. His third incarnation was incapacitated for some time at Ashbridge Cottage Hospital. (TV: Spearhead from Space) Likewise, the fourth incarnation of the Doctor suffered acute delirium and memory loss and was placed under bed rest at UNIT Headquarters. (TV: Robot) It took some time for his newly-regenerated fifth incarnation to remember his own identity. (TV: Castrovalva) Following another regeneration, his sixth incarnation tried to strangle Peri to death before re-asserting control of himself (TV: The Twin Dilemma), and in his following one, the Seventh Doctor was sufficiently weakened that the Rani was able to effectively brainwash him. (TV: Time and the Rani) His seventh regeneration was particularly traumatic for the Eighth Doctor, combining amnesia and emotional instability, though here the Doctor regenerated after he had been declared dead. (TV: Doctor Who) The newly-regenerated Tenth Doctor spent hours unconscious. (TV: The Christmas Invasion) After his tenth regeneration, the Eleventh Doctor experienced powerful, rapidly alternating food cravings, declaring a certain type of food his favourite one minute, and saying he hated it the next. (TV: The Eleventh Hour) On two occasions the Doctor crashed the TARDIS following regeneration, first when the Tenth Doctor compulsively sped up the TARDIS and hit it against the wall of the Powell Estate, then when the Tenth Doctor's regeneration into the Eleventh damaged the TARDIS, causing it to crash land into a storage shed in Leadworth. (TV: Children in Need Special, The Christmas Invasion, The End of Time, The Eleventh Hour)
There have been exceptions. Save for some initial confusion over personal identity, the Second Doctor adjusted to his new body very quickly (TV: The Power of the Daleks), while - body-steering issues aside - the transition for the Eleventh Doctor into his new body was also smoother than most. It is not known if the War Doctor or the Ninth Doctor experienced any post-regeneration issues.
A Zero Room could help with the regeneration-recovery process, as it removed all outside distractions. (TV: Castrovalva) After his first regeneration, the Second Doctor implied that the TARDIS itself helped the process along. (TV: The Power of the Daleks) After his ninth regeneration, the Tenth Doctor said he needed the TARDIS. (TV: The Christmas Invasion) For other species, a metamorphic symbiosis regenerator might offer help when regenerations failed, though whether this true of Time Lords is unknown. (TV: Mawdryn Undead)
Were a Time Lord knocked unconscious, the whole process might start all over again (PROSE: The Power of the Daleks), but this was not a certainty. (TV: The Eleventh Hour)
After a while, the Time Lord's body would settle down, though they could regrow limbs within fifteen hours of the regeneration due to residual energy. (TV: The Christmas Invasion) Even after the physical transformation, changes might occur. The Doctor was excessively tired after his third regeneration, falling asleep in many odd locations. (TV: Robot) The Fifth Doctor's hair went from longer to shorter to longer in the space of a few days. (PROSE: Cold Fusion) For a short time after regenerating, a Time Lord displayed greater strength than usual; The Doctor's fourth incarnation was able to karate-chop a brick in half while recovering from his regeneration (TV: Robot), his eighth incarnation broke down a steel door bare-handed immediately following his regeneration. (TV: Doctor Who) Melody Pond, following her final regeneration, not only used her regenerative energy to survive a hail of gunfire by Nazi soldiers, but channelled it into a focused blast of energy that knocked out the entire squad. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)
However, some Time Lords were able to regenerate with little or no overt complications, as in the case of Romana. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks)
Limitations Edit
Though Time Lords could regenerate after severe injuries, regeneration was by no means guaranteed. Both the Tenth Doctor and River Song stated that a Time Lord could be killed permanently if killed at the right time during the regenerative process. (TV: The End of Time, The Impossible Astronaut) Maxil implied that a fatal blast from a staser (an energy weapon used by the Chancellory Guard on Gallifrey) could prevent regeneration. (TV: Arc of Infinity) Stabbing or shooting a Time Lord through both hearts at the same time (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon, World Game), burning out both hearts (TV: Forest of the Dead), or drowning, if it happened quickly enough (TV: Turn Left) could also end a Time Lord's life regardless of how many regenerations they had left. Acid could also destroy the ability to regenerate. (PROSE: Night of the Humans) Some illnesses, such as Chen-7, could preclude regeneration. (TV: The Girl Who Waited) Certain poisons could prevent the regeneration process, such the poison from the Judas tree. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler) Retro-generator radiation was specifically created by the Daleks to inhibit regeneration. (AUDIO: X and the Daleks) As well, the application of various medications, such as general anaesthetics from Earth, were known to disrupt or destroy the regenerative process. (TV: Doctor Who) The Fifth Doctor was not sure he was going to regenerate after the death by Spectrox toxaemia. (TV: The Caves of Androzani)
Ideally, regeneration would be undergone within a low-grade telepathic field. The presence of another Time Lord was recommended to assist with any difficulties, and the newly-regenerated Time Lord best remained in a state of total tranquility for a time afterward to allow the mind and body to properly readjust. (PROSE: Cold Fusion)
Regenerative cycle Edit
Time Lords had a limited regenerative cycle of twelve regenerations, similar to the twelve hours on a clock, consisting of thirteen incarnations, after which they would suffer permanent death. (TV: The Deadly Assassin, Doctor Who) Time Lords could will themselves to die by regenerating when they had no more regenerations left to use, as Azmael chose to do. (TV: The Twin Dilemma) Rassilon apparently had physical reasons to impose this restriction. (AUDIO: Zagreus)
As with most such "rules", there were occasionally exceptions to the twelve regeneration limit. The High Council offered the Master a new regenerative cycle if he rescued the various incarnations of the Doctor from the Death Zone. (TV: The Five Doctors) Although he did not receive this award on that occasion, during the Last Great Time War the Master was given the ability to regenerate at least once more. (TV: Utopia) It was implied he could regenerate further. (TV: Last of the Time Lords)
In his eleventh incarnation, the Doctor claimed he could regenerate five hundred and seven times. As he was saying it to a particularly credulous Clyde Langer, it may have been in jest. (TV: Death of the Doctor)
Time Lords could be revived with regeneration energy. Doing this, Melody Pond (in her third incarnation) burned up her remaining regenerations to save the Doctor's life and was hospitalised as a result. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler) The Doctor later used his regeneration energy to heal River Song's broken wrist, although she was angered at what she considered a waste of the energy. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan)
Control over regeneration Edit
Generally, the regeneration process triggered itself when a Time Lord was too badly injured to survive; however, in some cases, Time Lords exercised control over the process. Romana seemed to regenerate on a whim (TV: Destiny of the Daleks), while Azmael began a thirteenth regeneration to end his life. (TV: The Twin Dilemma)
The degree of control that Time Lords had over their end appearance was unclear. The Rani stated, "Most Time Lords are at the mercy of fate after death." She desired the ability the definitively control the outcome of her appearance upon regeneration and attempted to learn how do this by studying Koturian Phasing. Her attempt failed, however, because she was not in love with the man she was engaged to, which was the catalyst for Phasing. (PROSE: Something Borrowed) The Master stated and achieved his intention to make his next regeneration as young as the Tenth Doctor appeared at the time. (TV: Utopia) Melody Pond announced she was "focusing on a dress size" in her final regeneration. She also commented that she might "take down the age a bit, just to freak people out," although she did not elaborate whether this was a joke or a literal intention. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler) Romana seemed adept enough at the process to custom design her new form during what seemed to be a voluntary regeneration, trying several bodies before finally deciding on a copy of Princess Astra. The Doctor criticised Romana for taking on the form of another person, suggesting such things were not unheard of. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks) In contrast to Romana, the Doctor did not seem to have much control over his post-regeneration appearance; after his fourth regeneration, he commented "That's the problem with regeneration, you never quite know what you're going to get." (TV: Castrovalva) He would restate this sentiment immediately prior to his ninth regeneration. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) He would also nearly always examine himself or ask about his appearance. (TV: The Tenth Planet, Spearhead from Space, Robot, The Caves of Androzani, The Christmas Invasion, The End of Time) The Tenth Doctor referred to regeneration as "a lottery" (TV: The Day of the Doctor).
While skilled Time Lords could choose their new form with a voluntarily induced regeneration, the process could go horribly wrong and leave the Time Lord in a severely misshapen body. This problem might be exacerbated by the Time Lord immediately starting another regeneration instead of obtaining medical assistance, amplifying the defects in the regeneration. The end result of these abortive regenerations was inevitably a mutated monstrosity that could only be put out of its misery by complete disintegration. (PROSE: The Twin Dilemma)
Some Time Lords were capable of momentarily regenerating, or partially regenerating. Though this could use up a lot of regenerative energy, it would give the Time Lord a new set of genes, allowing them to fool genetic sensors. The Seventh Doctor used this method on the planet Purgatory to fool the genetic scanner used by the Landsknechte. (PROSE: Original Sin)
The Time Lords were apparently capable of controlling the regeneration of individual Time Lords, either forcing a regeneration, influencing the new appearance (TV: The War Games), adding extra regenerations (TV: The Five Doctors, Utopia), or removing later regenerations. (TV: The Ultimate Foe)
The Sisterhood of Karn also had elixirs that could control and trigger regeneration. These elixirs contained the potention appearance, as well as personality, sex, apparent age and the capability of being a warrior for the new incarnation. When a Time Lord was near-death and temporarily resurrected by the Sisterhood, these elixirs could start the regeneration process. (TV: The Night of the Doctor)
With effort, Time Lords could resist regeneration, effectively committing suicide. (PROSE: The Power of the Daleks) The Master did so after being shot, ostensibly to avoid becoming the Tenth Doctor's eternal prisoner. (TV: Last of the Time Lords) Similarly, the Fifth Doctor once threatened System with resisting regeneration to stop the device from learning the biological details of the act. (AUDIO: The Gathering) This was not always an option, however, as the Doctor noted fearfully that while his companion could die only once, he might repeatedly regenerate and live out all of his lives when the TARDIS stalled in space. (TV: Vengeance on Varos) The Tenth Doctor was able to delay his regenerative process long enough to revisit each of his former companions of his own incarnation and his past selves as well. (TV: The End of Time, TV: Death of the Doctor)
Rassilon had discovered a form of true immortality beyond the regenerations known to the Time Lords, Rassilon kept this a secret believing it would be too dangerous to share. Borusa described Rassilon's immortality as timeless perpetual bodily regeneration. (TV: The Five Doctors)
Difficult or unusual regenerations Edit
Regenerative difficulty Edit
While most regenerations seemed to cause moments of mental instability, with temporary amnesia often noted, some offered particularly profound instances of physical peril. The Fifth Doctor feared that his regeneration "was failing" when he found himself reverting to previous personas, and could only be righted with the use of the TARDIS Zero Room. Ambient complexity may also contribute to the failure of a regeneration. (TV: Castrovalva) The Eighth Doctor claimed that anaesthesia had "nearly destroyed the regenerative process" during his seventh regeneration as an explanation for the particularly severe amnesia he suffered afterwards. (TV: Doctor Who) During the Tenth Doctor's post regenerative state, he suffered an arrest in one of his hearts and began to exhale regenerative energy when Rose Tyler revived him too early. After this he said that he was having a neural implosion, and slipped into a coma-like state for most of a day. (TV: The Christmas Invasion) When the Tenth Doctor underwent his own regeneration, the process was exceptionally violent and destructive to the TARDIS, likely a consequence of his delay of the procedure and/or the massive amounts of radiation he absorbed which caused the regeneration to start in the first place, though it hasn't been clear whether the severity of a regeneration-causing injury impacts the violence of the regeneration or not (TV: The End of Time).
Regeneration, especially later ones, could be painful. Melody Pond screamed during one regeneration, (TV: Let's Kill Hitler), as did the Master during his transition into his Harold Saxon identity. (TV: Utopia). The Tenth Doctor also appeared to grimace in pain during the process. (TV: The End of Time) Once, Sarah Jane Smith asked the Eleventh Doctor if his last regeneration had hurt. After trying to deflect the question, he quickly said, "It always hurts," before, in the same breath, continuing with the task at hand. (TV: Death of the Doctor) The Eighth Doctor's regeneration was painful due to the circumstances, but he wanted it so. (TV: The Night of the Doctor)
Reversal Edit
There were many ways to reverse a regeneration. One way involved the sacrifice of another, causing the regeneration to reverse. One example of this was when the Third Doctor had an encounter with the Nurazh. As the Doctor battled the Nurazh's main host, the two fell off a building, killing the Doctor. As the Third Doctor (nearly) regenerated into the Fourth, the Nurazh possessed the Time Lord's body, however, it found itself unable to cope with the two Time Lord minds within the body and it soon perished, restoring the Doctor to his previous incarnation in the process. (PROSE: The Touch of the Nurazh)
The regeneration process could also be delayed to allow healing. The Second Doctor was shot in the head when confronted by guards on Skybase, causing damage to his skull and frontal lobe; and the subsequent fall broke his nose, jaw, right femur, and collarbone, along with some spine damage. He began to regenerate, however, an injection of Shiner DNA delayed the regeneration and kept him alive long enough for his body to go into a six-month healing coma to recover on its own. (PROSE: The Indestructible Man)
A Time Lord could prevent death and regeneration by focusing the regenerative energies into a "bio-matching receptacle" like the Doctor's hand. His hand siphoned off the excess energy that would have changed his appearance while the Tenth Doctor used just enough to heal himself from the injury sustained from a Dalek Gunstick. This resulted in the appendage storing enough energy to actually grow an identical Time Lord when it came in contact with Donna Noble. As a consequence, the Doctor appeared to regenerate and heal but did not change. (TV: Journey's End)
Cross-species transformations Edit
I.M. Foreman, a Gallifreyan (but not a Time Lord), absorbed the DNA around him and underwent indescribable changes as a result of mutations, transcending sex, species and even physical existence itself. (PROSE: Interference - Book One, Interference - Book Two) Romana, prior to her regeneration into her second incarnation, appeared to have taken on a humanoid blue-skinned form. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks) However, one account held that the TARDIS itself, rather than Romana, adopted this shape. (PROSE: The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe)
Aborted regeneration Edit
Occasionally, a regeneration would fail and the regeneration would abort. Though the Time Lord would have regenerated, they would be severely deformed. Though Time Lord technology could treat this, on some occasions the damage would be too severe to fix.
After being shot by the War Lords, the War Chief was barely able to survive. While being returned to the War Lords' planet, his body attempted to regenerate. Due to the massive injuries and the lack of medical care, this regeneration aborted. This resulted in two conjoined individual bodies, poorly fused together (PROSE: Timewyrm: Exodus)
Attitude toward regeneration Edit
As noted above, regeneration was not guaranteed. The Doctor on numerous occasions believed he was at risk of actually dying. Even with regeneration a possibility, the Doctor came to feel such a change as being a "death". In recollecting the events surrounding the Master's attempt to steal the Eye of Harmony, the Eighth Doctor referred to his incarnations as "lives". (TV: Doctor Who) The Doctor's third, fourth, ninth, and tenth incarnations referred to their regenerations as the end of their life. (TV: Planet of the Spiders, Logopolis, The Parting of the Ways, The End of Time) In fact, the Doctor seemed to regard his previous incarnations as different individuals, capable of interacting and working with each other. (TV: The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, The Two Doctors, Time Crash) Time Lords such as the War Chief were unconcerned about wasting regenerations, or Romana, who used her regenerations to assume a new appearance at will (TV: Destiny of the Daleks), (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon), while others such as the Doctor warned not to waste them. (PROSE: Invasion of the Cat-People) Iris Wildthyme once confided in Samantha Jones that regeneration was treated on Gallifrey the same way sex was on Earth. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)
The Doctor's attitude towards regeneration seemed to change during his later incarnations, considering it more like true death. In his ninth incarnation, the Doctor bade farewell to his companion, ("I'm not gonna see you again. Not like this.") even though he was not actually dying. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) The Doctor's tenth incarnation was concerned about a prediction made regarding his own impending regeneration, saying, "Even if I change, it feels like dying. Everything I am dies. Some new man goes sauntering away...and I'm dead." (TV: The Waters of Mars, The End of Time) The War Doctor, however, accepted the start of his regeneration (ultimately into the Ninth Doctor]), remarking that his old body was "wearing a bit thin" and even joking about his hopes for getting less-prominent ears. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
Despite his own attitude toward regeneration, both Harriet Jones and Sarah Jane Smith felt the same way about the Doctor throughout his incarnations, (TV: The Christmas Invasion, TV: Death of the Doctor) with Harriet Jones calling the Tenth Doctor "absolutely the same man", still believing in this despite the Doctor threatening to destroy her government after she ordered Torchwood to blow up the Sycorax spaceship. (TV: The Christmas Invasion, The Stolen Earth)
Regeneration in other species Edit
On several occasions, individuals of other species (or even artificial life) were capable of regeneration. In most cases, this ability was copied from the Time Lords.
- The Kastrians, a silicon-based life form, were able to undergo an explicit process of regeneration, by absorbing radiation from the environment and/or in a dedicated "regeneration chamber" set with their specific genetic code. (TV: The Hand of Fear)
- The crew of the Minyans' ship, the P7E, could regenerate indefinitely, likely as a result of the interference by the Time Lords in their early history. Over time, they wearied of life. (TV: Underworld)
- Mawdryn and his followers, who had stolen the Time Lords' regeneration technology, also had an apparently limitless number of incarnations, though they had no control over when it would happen and what form, often grotesque, they would change into. Consequently, they also longed for death, making their mutations a kind of de facto punishment by the Time Lords for stealing their technology. (TV: Mawdryn Undead)
- Chris Cwej was regenerated by force to survive radiation poisoning. (PROSE: Tears of the Oracle)
- K9 Mark I regenerated by use of a Regeneration unit after self-destructing to defeat a group of Jixen Warriors. (TV: Regeneration) He later regenerated again after exhausting his power core to defeat the Trojan. (TV: The Eclipse of the Korven)
- The Cinder was a sentient spark which grew into a Phoenix made of living flame. When extinguished, it slowly regenerated from a single surviving spark back into its Phoenix form. (AUDIO: Frostfire)
Behind the scenes Edit
History of regeneration Edit
Why regeneration? Edit
Regeneration was introduced to the mythos of Doctor Who to solve a practical staffing problem: the production team needed to find a way to exit William Hartnell but still keep the show running.
The original idea for this replacement came from producer John Wiles and script editor Donald Tosh. They proposed to write out Hartnell during The Celestial Toymaker, a serial they commissioned and prepped, but ultimately didn't produce. Their notion was that the Celestial Toymaker would make the Hartnell Doctor disappear, but when the Doctor re-appeared he would magically be another actor entirely. (REF: The First Doctor Handbook, The Second Doctor Handbook) Though not at all a regenerative process as the term has since come to be understood, Wiles and Tosh do at least get some credit for being the first people to moot the possibility of carrying on the show with a new lead —and for the necessity of finding a narrative explanation for this switch. Though this is taken for granted today, this was an important milestone on the way to regeneration. Doctor Who could just as easily gone down the route of another 1960s show, Bewitched, where a main character was simply recast without narrative explanation.
However, Wiles and Tosh were ultimately unsuccessful in their bid to replace Hartnell, due to resistance from BBC Head of Serials, Gerald Savory. (REF: The Second Doctor Handbook) This failure was a part of the reason Wiles resigned relatively soon after taking over the show from Verity Lambert. (REF: The First Doctor Handbook)
His successor, Innes Lloyd, was better able to negotiate Hartnell's departure, in part because the climate within the BBC hierarchy had changed with Shaun Sutton's management elevation. (REF: The First Doctor Handbook) Still, it is uncertain who, precisely, came up with the idea of regeneration-as-biologic-process, rather than the mystical solution Wiles had earlier mooted. Howe, Stammers and Walker believe "the likelihood is that it emerged in discussion between Lloyd and his story editor Gerry Davis" — along with additional input from Shaun Sutton, and Kit Pedler. (REF: The Second Doctor Handbook)
Narrative origins Edit
The earliest-known production office-generated document on the subject describes it thus:
The metaphysical change which takes place every 500 or so years is a horrifying experience — an experience in which he re-lives some of the most unendurable moments of his long life, including the galactic war [which was believed, at this time, to have been the cause of the Doctor and Susan's departure from their home planet]. It is as if he has had the LSD drug and instead of experiencing the kicks, he has the hell and dank horror which can be its effect.
Initially, the concept wasn't called "regeneration" at all, but rather "renewal". In fact, the term, so familiar to Doctor Who fans today, didn't appear until the Doctor's third regeneration, first seen by fans in 1974's Planet of the Spiders. Since The War Games, Troughton's final story, merely had the Time Lords suggesting that they would "change [his] appearance", the only explanation of regeneration — for the show's first twelve years — was found in a cryptic exchange in part one of The Power of the Daleks:
- Ben: Now look, the Doctor always wore this. So if you're him, it should fit now, shouldn't it?
- Ben grabs the Doctor's hand, and slips the signet ring on. But the ring, too big for the new Doctor's finger, falls to the TARDIS floor.
- Ben: There - that settles it.
- Doctor: I'd like to see a butterfly fit into a chrysalis case after it's spread its wings.
- Polly: Then you did change!
- Doctor: Life depends on change -- and renewal.
- Ben: (sarcastically) Oh so that's it. You've been renewed have ya?
- Doctor: (considering the notion seriously) I've been renewed, have I? That's it, I've been renewed! It's part of the TARDIS. Without it, I couldn't survive.
- Ben: Now look, the Doctor always wore this. So if you're him, it should fit now, shouldn't it?
Although the Second Doctor's last claim of a connection between the TARDIS and regeneration has never been explored in detail, it is heavily suggested by later regeneration stories. Notably, the Third and Fourth Doctor's highest initial priority is returning to the TARDIS; (TV: Spearhead from Space, Robot) the Fifth Doctor desperately needs the TARDIS' Zero Room to assist with his regeneration; (TV: Castrovalva) and the Eighth Doctor's post-regeneration amnesia is instantly resolved when Chang Lee opens the TARDIS' Eye of Harmony. (TV: Doctor Who) The connection between man and vehicle was made explicitly clear by the visual effects in The Parting of the Ways. There, the effect used for regenerative energy was the same as the energy that emanated from, and was returned to, the heart of the TARDIS. In other words, the TARDIS-generated energy that killed the Ninth Doctor was also apparently that which revived him as the Tenth.
Tweaking regeneration Edit
Beginning with the regeneration that resulted in the Fourth Doctor, each successive regeneration reveals a bit more about the mystery of the act.
Planet of the Spiders shows viewers that one Time Lord can help another by giving the process "a little push". This act of "gifting" regenerative energy is later expanded upon in Mawdryn Undead and Let's Kill Hitler. Both these stories take Cho Je's "push" one step further by suggesting that regenerations can be outright gifted from one being to another.
The "Cho Je push" is also tweaked a bit for the Doctor's fourth regeneration. In Logopolis the audience is introduced to a kind of "mid-regeneration Doctor", a being called "the Watcher" who exists between the Fourth and Fifth Doctors. Though his presence is never adequately explained, he is apparently corporeal enough to pilot the TARDIS and appear to characters other than the Doctor. He then combines with the dying Fourth Doctor to start the regeneration process, and thus become the Fifth.
The notion that there is an existence for the Doctor within the act of regeneration is again mooted by AUDIO: Winter, which takes place almost entirely in that interim between incarnations. Moreover, another "intra-regenerational" version of the Doctor is seen in The Trial of a Time Lord. The story's chief antagonist is implied to be the Doctor between his twelfth and thirteenth lives.
Another novelty of the fourth regeneration is the introduction of the idea that a regeneration can "fail", resulting in the Doctor's death. (TV: Castrovalva) But if the fourth regeneration focuses on a physical crisis, the next three surely stress the mental hardships of the act. The fifth regeneration leads to a kind of mania never before experienced by the Doctor. It even shakes loose some criminal tendencies. (TV: The Twin Dilemma) The next two regenerations cause temporary amnesia. (TV: Time and the Rani, Doctor Who) This condition is particularly profound in the newly-arrived Eighth Doctor, who completely forgets all of his past history for a number of hours. Additionally, complications like amnesia can be brought on by anesthesia, which holds chemical agents that interfere with regeneration. (TV: Doctor Who) This regeneration also brings forth the notion that the Doctor actually dies prior to the metamorphosis of regeneration. The idea that the Doctor dies, even if briefly, is something that the Tenth Doctor later explains to Wilfred Mott in the first part of The End of Time.
The ninth regeneration, whose after-effects are documented in The Christmas Invasion, introduces the notion that the regenerative cycle lasts for fifteen hours. Within that window, the Doctor can lose body parts and yet re-grow them as he does with a hand he loses in battle with a Sycorax. Both Invasion and the preceding mini-episode also add another wrinkle to the mythos of regeneration. They show that the Doctor needs to expel regenerative energy in the aftermath of a change — something seen again in The Eleventh Hour.
The Doctor's tenth regeneration is shown to be tangibly explosive, something that hadn't been explored by any previous BBC Wales--or, for that matter, any--regeneration. That is, regenerative energy is depicted as being able to physically damage things. By the end of the cycle, the Doctor's TARDIS is itself in need of a "regeneration." It is implied that this explosive regeneration is due to the Doctor delaying it while he travelled to see all his former companions for an unknown period of time, thus allowing that regenerative energy to build up. (TV: The End of Time, The Eleventh Hour, TV: Death of the Doctor)
Aspects of both the ninth and tenth regenerations are invested in River Song's second regeneration, seen in Let's Kill Hitler. River Song practically begs to be shot by Nazi soldiers immediately after regeneration so that she can re-trigger her explosive regenerative energy and hurt them. The Hitler regeneration also definitively proves that skin colour can change through regeneration — though this had actually been practically settled long before by the "blue option" seen in Romana's Destiny of the Daleks regeneration.
Some details about regeneration are given by stories that don't technically feature a regeneration. For instance, The Doctor's Wife establishes that Time Lords, or at the very least the Corsair, can change gender through regeneration.
It's also shown that The Doctor's companions can influence his next incarnation's personality. Hinted at, when the Tenth Doctor told Rose to stay with the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor, stating he was as angry and vengeful as he was, when he first met Rose. (TV: Journey's End)
Non-narrative explanations Edit
Because of a relative lack of narrative explanation about regeneration, some writers of non-fictional or reference books about Doctor Who have tried to fill in the gap. One theory from such a source is that regeneration is caused by a "nanomolecular virus" that rebuilt the body much like the "self-replicating biogenic molecules". (REF: The Gallifrey Chronicles) This theory has not been repeated elsewhere, however.
That regenerative look Edit
Each new regeneration was also radically different from the previous one, even in terms of the visual effects used to represent the moment of regeneration.
Do you remember the first time? Edit
The very first regeneration was devised and executed by vision mixer Shirley Coward, who had rather unexpectedly come up with a method of achieving the effect electronically.
The original plan of the production team was simply that William Hartnell would fall to the floor at the end of The Tenth Planet and pull his cape over his face. Troughton would then appear at the top of The Power of the Daleks, retracting the cloak. Coward's then-innovative vision mix necessitated that Troughton be hastily contracted for The Tenth Planet, part four. The series' first regeneration sequence was then duly recorded on 8 October 1966, with the cliffhanger resolution filmed two weeks later on 22 October. (REF: The Second Doctor Handbook)
Later regenerations Edit
Each subsequent regeneration was then filmed in a variety of different ways, as dictated by the director on that particular episode. Indeed, no two regenerations were particularly similar until the Russell T Davies era.
Only BBC Wales Doctor Who attempted to standardise the way regeneration looked. With The Parting of the Ways came what is now the standard "golden glow explosion" (although the colour of the explosion is fiery orange in TV: The Parting of the Ways and is milky white in TV: Utopia). The subsequent Children in Need Special established that there was residual "regeneration energy" after a transformation which had to be expelled through the mouth. This was seen again in The Christmas Invasion, The Eleventh Hour and The Doctor's Daughter — though the latter narrative never made quite clear that Jenny actually regenerated. Although not referred to by name, it was actually also seen previously in the Doctor Who TV movie.
This visual standardisation has allowed narratives to play around with regeneration. The mere presence of "regeneration energy" can now be used to heighten dramatic tension. This visual short cut, unavailable to production teams in the classic era, has been a particular favourite of Steven Moffat, who used the "golden glow" liberally throughout the 2011 series; in fact, unlike in the Russell T Davies era, in which nearly every regeneration had subtle differences, every Moffat era regeneration is completely identical. About a quarter of the 2011 episodes used that VFX in a way that wordlessly suggested regeneration.
Fan fare Edit
Fans have long speculated as to whether the Doctor could change sex or skin colour as a result of a regeneration. They've also long speculated on the number of times that a Time Lord can regenerate, since both Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures have given different impressions on separate occasions.
Gender Edit
It has long been "fanon" that regeneration can cause a change of gender in Time Lords. Though the Doctor himself has not yet changed sex, a few stories still point out that it is a possibility.
In Interference - Book One and Book Two, the Time Lord I.M. Foreman was portrayed as having changed sex as a result of regeneration, though the character is noted as having received the gift of regeneration when the process was still experimental and unstable. Female versions of the Doctor appeared in Comic Relief parody story The Curse of Fatal Death and in the Doctor Who Unbound story Exile. In The End of Time, the newly-regenerated Doctor thinks for a short moment that "I'm a girl!". In The Doctor's Wife, the Doctor mentions the Corsair, who has regenerated into both male and female incarnations. The Night of the Doctor has the Sisterhood of Karn boast that they can control regeneration, and give the Eighth Doctor a choice of "man or woman" for his next incarnation.
Skin colour Edit
In TV: Death of the Doctor the Eleventh Doctor noted that his racial characteristics were not limited to white; he "can be anything." When Romana "tried on" different possible bodies while regenerating, one of them had a bluish skin tone. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks) Rassilon has been portrayed by white actors Richard Mathews and Timothy Dalton on-screen while black actor Don Warrington was Rassilon's voice actor and cover-art model in Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories. In TV: Let's Kill Hitler, one of River Song's incarnations is black, while her first (in TV: The Impossible Astronaut / Day of the Moon and A Good Man Goes to War) and last (appearing throughout series 4, 5, 6 and 7) are white.
Number Edit
Russell T Davies noted how firmly the concept of limiting Time Lords to thirteen lives, introduced in The Deadly Assassin, was lodged in fans' minds. Davies deliberately broke the limit in Death of the Doctor, though he admits that fandom may resist his attempt to alter the programme's mythos.
When they came [to America] to launch The Eleventh Hour, I went along to this screening in LA and journalists put their hands up, and one of the first questions was, "What will happen when he reaches the thirteenth regeneration?" There's a fascinating academic study to be made out of how some facts stick and some don't – how Jon Pertwee's Doctor could say he was thousands of years old, and no-one listens to that, and yet someone once says he's only got thirteen lives, and it becomes lore. It's really interesting, I think. That's why I'm quite serious that that 507 thing won't stick, because the 13 is too deeply ingrained in the public consciousness. But how? How did that get there?

"The bottom line is this fundraiser is for the children," Tom Harris, director of produce at Cooke's, said. "To think there is a child without a decent meal from the time they leave school on Friday until they come back Monday morning. This is why we are fundraising."
Customers will be given the option to donate money toward the Sack Pack program when checking out at any of their local stores. It costs $5 to feed one child for a whole weekend. According to the 2010 U.S Census Bureau Report, 26.4 percent of children in Bradley County are living in poverty. This means one out of four of Bradley County children are living day-to-day not knowing if their basic needs will be met. A $20 donation will ensure a child has food every weekend in a month.
According to Chelsea Long, resource developer at The Caring Place, the store managers are hopeful their customers will join them in helping this program.
"We hope the fundraiser will help finance a good portion of the program to keep children from going hungry. Anything raised in our stores goes directly to children in Bradley County," Harris said.
This is not the first time Cooke's and Super Saver have partnered with The Caring Place. Harris said the food stores have helped raise food by setting out specially marked barrels for The Caring Place and encouraging people to donate.
"Cooke's Food Store is the only local supermarket who has been here since the 1930s. Helping out is part of being a part of this community," Harris said.
A basic need is access to food. Many people who are experiencing poverty lack the funds to purchase necessary food for themselves and their children. Oftentimes, the only meals many students eat are the free or reduced-priced meals the federal government provides at schools. In January 2012, The Caring Place began the Sack Pack program to address this need. The Sack Pack Program is providing 10-15 nutritious food items that are shelf-stable and kid-friendly for the weekends for economically disadvantaged students who attend three Bradley County elementary schools. The food is placed in white paper bags and closed with specially printed stickers for the program.
According to Long, the food is placed in the book bags of children in need. This maintains a level of privacy for the children involved in the program. A first grade student who received these packs in the spring 2012 school semester reported they felt special receiving bags that looked so pretty.
The Caring Place is a Christian nonprofit organization based in Cleveland which focuses on meeting the basic needs of the local poor and disadvantaged. In 2011 alone, The Caring Place assisted 3,349 different households, provided 172 tons of food and helped 188 homeless households at the hands of more than 130 of its active volunteers.

Socially, it may be a small world, but it's hard to get from here to there.
In the current issue of the journal Science, researchers at Columbia University report the first large-scale experiment that supports the notion of ''six degrees of separation,'' that a short chain of acquaintances can be found between almost any two people in the world. But the same study finds that trying to contact a distant stranger via acquaintances is likely to fail.
The ''six degrees of separation'' notion came from an experiment in 1967 by Dr. Stanley Milgram, a social psychologist, where a few hundred people tried to forward a letter to a particular person in Boston by sending it through people they knew personally. About a third of the letters reached their destination, after an average of six mailings.
Dr. Milgram's experiment inspired a notion that the billions of people in the world, widely separated by geography and culture, actually form a close-knit network of social acquaintances, that you are a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of anyone anywhere.

How to attract birds to your yard
Backyard bird-watchingSome 85 species of birds breed on Long Island, and according to the North Shore Audubon Society in Port Washington, about another 170 species pass through during migration and reside here for at least part of the year.
Getting up close and personal with them is simple. All you have to do is attract them to your backyard and entice them to linger a while, a trick that's not only easy but important when you consider that their natural habitat has shrunk considerably to make way for suburbia.
In fact, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology reports that nearly 80 percent of wildlife habitat in the United States now sits on residential property, with an additional 2.1 million acres being converted to residential use each year.
That's nothing short of a crisis to birds and other wildlife. But you can help ease their displacement by providing food, water and shelter. The birds will repay you with a song.
>>Photos of birds, feeders, houses and birdbaths
>>See readers' bird photos and upload your own
>>MAP: Where to see birds on Long Island (click markers to see addresses)
There are many different types of feeders available, some of which are inappropriate or even counterproductive. Stay away from those made of plastic (they get too cold and too hot), and don't waste money on expensive "decorator" models; the birds won't be impressed by your 13-room Victorian house-style feeder. Perches aren't necessary either. They make it easier for squirrels to enter, and birds can gain access just fine without them
Tray feeders are flat, open, low-rimmed boxes that can be placed on the ground to attract juncos, doves, jays, blackbirds and sparrows, or mounted on posts or railings. Though they allow for ideal bird-watching, they also expose seeds to squirrels and rainwater, which can rot seeds and encourage bacteria and fungus to grow. Plus, germy bird droppings inevitably get mixed in with food. If you choose a tray feeder, you'll have to clean and refill it daily.
Suet feeders are mesh units that hold suet or peanut butter. They attract woodpeckers, chickadees, titmice, jays, starlings and nuthatches. Suet cages are the safest dispensers to use, as birds can become tangled up in mesh bags and die if not released quickly.
Window feeders attach to windows with suction cups or hook onto frames. They allow for the most close-up view of chickadees, titmice and sparrows without leaving your house, making them ideal for winter and a favorite of children. Seed should be replaced and feeders cleaned daily, but because all you have to do to accomplish this is open your window, they're the easiest to maintain.
House-type feeders offer good protection and attract most bird species. Problem is, squirrels love them, too. They're also harder to clean than tray feeders. Mount on a pole or suspend in a tree, but install a squirrel baffle device (usually a plastic dome) to prevent the rodents from reaching the seeds.
Tube feeders are meant to be squirrel-resistant, but the critters often manage to chew through the plastic ones. Seeds are generally kept clean and dry. Models with perches located above feeding ports will attract chickadees and goldfinches, while others can lure sparrows, titmice, finches and grosbeaks. If the tube extends below the lowest port, block the bottom of the tube to minimize the growth of mold and bacteria.
Black oil sunflower seeds are the healthiest option for most birds, as they contain a high kernel-to-shell ratio, are high in fat and are easy for birds to crack open, according to results of the Seed Preference Test conducted by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. They also attract the most species of birds.
Safflower seeds are preferred by cardinals and also attract some chickadees, doves, sparrows and grosbeaks, but their shells are difficult for other birds to crack open.
White millet attracts ground-feeding birds like quails, doves, juncos and cardinals, but it's also preferred by blackbirds and house sparrows, which, according to the Cornell Ornithology Lab, "are already subsidized by human activities and supported at unnaturally high population levels by current agricultural practices and habitat changes." The recommendation is to avoid millet when these species are present, as most birds that prefer it also will eat black oil sunflower seeds.
Shelled and cracked corn attracts cardinals, cranes, crows, doves, ducks, grosbeaks, grouse, pheasants, quails, ravens, jays and others. However, it also attracts undesirables like deer, raccoons, geese, starlings and house sparrows. If you buy corn, avoid any sold in plastic, as it retains moisture, and be vigilant about keeping it dry and removing old feed. Be aware that some agricultural corn is treated with a fungicide and dyed red; it is toxic and not intended for consumption.
Suet is animal fat, which provides a very important energy source for chickadees, jays, nuthatches and woodpeckers, among others, but should only be set out during winter because it can grow rancid at warmer temperatures. Because of this, keep extra suet cakes refrigerated until ready to use.
Peanuts are a favorite of crows, chickadees, titmice, jays and woodpeckers - and are equally loved by squirrels and raccoons. They also can harbor toxins. If you use peanuts, be sure to keep them dry and replace them every couple days. Peanut butter should be mixed with cornmeal or seeds to keep it from sticking to beaks.
Milo (sorghum) is a grain favored by ground-feeding birds, so it's best scattered on the ground or set out in low tray feeders.
Seed mixes are generally a bad idea because, in addition to the good stuff, they usually contain fillers like millet and milo, which are eaten by only a few species and shunned by most others. Left uneaten, they can grow mold that will spread to fresh seed and sicken birds. Read labels for contents information.
Seed heads on faded perennials will provide food for goldfinches, redpolls and others during the winter if you wait until spring to cut the plants down. As a bonus, they'll add lots of winter interest to what would otherwise be barren perennial beds, and look pretty when snow lands on them.
Like the rest of us, birds need a fresh water supply for drinking as well as bathing. Commercially available birdbaths made of concrete actually aren't ideal for birds: They're often too deep, they can crack in freezing temperatures, and, if glazed, interiors can become slippery when wet. Plus, those on pedestals are counter to birds' instincts, which are to bathe at ground level.
Though you might consider them eyesores in the garden, the best birdbaths are recycled garbage can lids, old frying pans and shallow plastic bowls. If those are too crude for you, look to purchase one that is shallow and slopes in toward the center so birds can walk in and out; they can't fly very well with wet wings. Water should be no more than two inches deep in the center. Change it every other day to ensure droppings and feathers don't breed harmful bacteria and to prevent mosquito eggs from hatching.
When the temperature dips below freezing, fashion a grid from twigs or sticks over the top of the bath so that birds can perch on it to drink without getting wet.
Birds need shelter from the weather and from predators, and they need a safe place to build their nests during spring and summer. Avoid brightly colored birdhouses, as they can grab unwanted attention from predators. Instead, stick to muted earth tones like beige, moss green and brown.
Be sure birdhouses you purchase or build meet the requirements of the species you're trying to lure, as opening sizes and placement vary: A nesting box for an Eastern screech owl, for example, should be mounted 10 feet above ground level. An entry-opening size of an inch and a half will accommodate many small birds and deny access to aggressive species like starlings, while flickers and screech owls require a 3-inch opening. For detailed information about each species' needs, visit allaboutbirds.org.
In the spring, set out some materials to encourage birds to nest in your yard. Items they can use include dry leaves and twigs, yarn, hair (collected from hairbrushes), cotton batting (empty out old cushions before discarding), pine needles and inch-wide cloth strips. Twigs can be piled up on the ground, but items that might be blown away by wind should be put into mesh bags and tied to tree branches.
If you have a nest on your property, register it with NestWatch.org, a citizen science project and nest-monitoring database of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology funded by the National Science Foundation and developed in collaboration with the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. As of this writing, 8,365 nests have been monitored in New York State since 1997.
How to attract hummingbirds
Ruby-throated hummingbirds are truly a sight to behold, measuring as little as two inches from beak to end of tail. Their eggs are the size of peas, and newly hatched chicks the size of honeybees. You might have seen them hovering, as if suspended in flight, around the nectar-rich flowers in your garden. While they may appear to be still, their tiny wings are working hard, beating 40 to 80 times per second.
Ruby-throated hummingbirds are the only species you'll see on Long Island, as they're the only ones to breed east of the Mississippi. In September they migrate south to Mexico and Central America, and they return to Long Island in late April, with the biggest population settling on the East End. However, it's not unusual to spot them in western Nassau and Queens.
To lure ruby-throated hummingbirds to your garden next spring, hang feeders supplied with nectar or sugar water from trees or posts, and plant plenty of their favorite nectar-rich plants; they consume their own weight in nectar or sugar water every day.

Alcea rosea (hollyhock)
Antirrhinum majus (snapdragon)
Cuphea micropetala (candy corn plant)
Heliotrope arborescens (heliotrope)

This is sad, but it is what it is.
What will Twinkies made in China be called, Tellinkies?
FTA: In announcing the court´s decision, Hostess reiterated that its "inflated cost structure" put the company at a competitive disadvantage. It said most of those costs stemmed from collective bargaining agreements covering 15,000 of its employees.CBA = the union´s stake through the heart of any industry.
The union members were not crying on Friday bet they are weeping now. All this for 8%.
Trumka must be happy now, 18,000 people out of work. Way to go, Trumka, you sure showed them! Typical union slug.
Liquidation was inevitable. When you ain´t got no dough, you ain´t got no dough.
The hedge funds involved were mostly led by Dems who were trying to prove that you could turn around union-dominated businesses. So much for that thinking.Richard Gephardt (remember him?) was raking in lots of money as a consultant, and managed to get his son on the Hostess BOD at $100,000/year.Couldn´t happen to a nicer bunch.
Little Debbie makes good cakes. I love their Banana Twin cakes. They taste like Twinkies with banana flavoring. Their Swiss Rolls are as good as Ho Hos. Little Debbie´s always been cheaper as well.
Tastycakes are still the best, but what happened to the union leaches here is what should have happened to the union leaches at GM.
The left blame the million dollar raises of the CEO and board of directors. Gotta love liberal logic
So many chickens coming home.
Don´t forget, #10, that Tastykake has itself been on the financial ropes as well. They´re a Philly institution and I seem to recall they were bailed out by Philly and/or Pensylvania. I´m sure someone here knows the full story.
Quick! Some bakery in a Right to Work state needs to snap up the brand names & recipes... only... and start mfg them here in Free states.
Good one #9I shed not a tear for these 18,500. I want unions abolished.
If you encounter some SEIGoonian members littering and loitering near the entrance to your local WalMart, be sure to remind them of how much their brethren ´helped´ the 18,000+ Hostess workers.
