This whole thing is RIDICULOUS! ... Time Lords can ONLY regenerate 12 times

Science progresses and things change, so its easy to come up with an explanation, and I seen to remember there was something about that in one of the shows - I don’t remember which.

The Master always come back - as he always has backup plans in case the current one fails. In one episode his consciousness was inside a ring, and he managed to takeover the body of the wearer.

The ridiculousness is part of the fun.

The ridiculousness was not as puerile and over stretched in most of the original series and the original series was written for ALL ages, with the very subtle references to great lit and history a LOT of fun to try to spot/figure out!

The new series had/has NONE of that and sol, was NEVER as good and just kept on getting worse and worse and then GOD AWFUL! I gave up on it with the last male Doctor and haven't watched it since.

Nope...do NOT play games with the sex of the Doctor, nor the prescribed number of regenerations!
