The Homunculus

steveSteve Higgins is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, Steve is a real graduate student at a real school.

Nice! So where do you weigh in on the faces, are those old incarnations of the Doctor?

Three of them are previous incarnations. The first face is presumably Morbius before he lost his body. Then we see Jon Pertwee, the 3rd Doctor(Tom Baker in the clip was the 4th), then we see Pertwee again after the cut, then Patrick Troughton, 2nd Doctor, then William Harnell, the first. The remaining faces are presumably Morbius's previous incarnations.

Which is what I thought when I first viewed the episode, although Morbius shocked question, "How far, Doctor? How long have you lived?" made me think that those others were supposedly incarnations of the Doctor as well. And then there is this paragraph from Wikipedia:

"Those same faces have caused much debate among fans because they seemingly show past incarnations of the Doctor prior to the First Doctor, contradicting The Three Doctors (which refers to the First Doctor as the earliest incarnation), The Five Doctors (which explicitly states that the Doctor is in his fifth incarnation) and Time and the Rani, (which has the Doctor saying that he is in his seventh incarnation). The faces are commonly referred to as the "Morbius Doctors". The alternative explanation is that the faces are Morbius' previous incarnations. The brain-tank and humanoid versions of Morbius are also seen in the mind test machine. See also Other (Doctor Who) and "The Doctor's regenerations"."
