There’s something beautifully chaotic about how each Time Lord’s regeneration gets labeled in a completely different taxonomy
The Doctor, of course, usually gets numbered in a very official-feeling way—“The 10th Doctor,” “the 14th Doctor”—complete with the traditional "th" or "nd". Pretty standard.
Romana, on the other hand, sticks a Roman numeral after her name—Romana I, Romana II, etc.—which feels halfway between monarch and droid model, and I love that for her.
And then there's the Master, where we’ve just... absolutely given up. No numbers. No system. We either go with a nickname (like Missy, which she chose herself ), or we use a descriptor (like "Spy Master"), or we just straight-up refer to them by the actor’s last name. “Oh yeah, that was the Gomez Master. Or maybe the Dhawan one. (this point also applies to the Rani aswell lol)
It’s chaos. It’s inconsistent. It’s deeply unserious. And I wouldn’t change a thing.
