As long as the thread is relatively fresh, could someone explain this whole "every Doctor is a different aspect of the same person" thing to me?

The writers came up with this as a way to continue the character with a new actor, and it's served them well. Maybe a little too well -- the Doctor has only three regenerations left now. He'd better start eating his Wheaties. (If I'm wrong about anything here, I'm sure a more hardcore Whovian will correct me.)

Some Time Lords also have the ability to change their appearance at will, but that was basically shoehorned in so that Mary Tamm could replace Lalla Ward without the need for a full blown regeneration (though why exactly they did it this way I could not say).
The first two episodes so far have been okay, but the thrid I missed almost half of. From what I did see though it's easily the worst of this series so far (not saying much, I know) - while the Macra made for a really cool red herring, and the idea in general was pretty neat, there was some stuff that didn't make so much sense.

Whovian? Is that the real term?
Okay, thanks. I guess in the long run I'd rather have actor replacements actually replace the characters themselves as alternate versions than have the new guys have essentially identical personalities. Not that I don't like current Stargate, I love it, but I sometimes wonder how the Mitchell and Sheppard actors could fare if they didn't have to be O'Neill clones, but could use their own interpretations.

I call myself a Whovian.
