One of the best tricks that ‘Doctor Who’ ever pulled off was making the metaphorical deaths of each regeneration feel important and meaningful even though we know s/he’s just gonna get up with a new face afterwards. Heck, in the case of the Tenth Doctor’s end, it was a real tear-jerker that felt final and stressful, though I’d already seen the shots of Eleven in action with his new companion. If I were a Time Lord, I’d want to make sure the next me has executive-style silver hair and maybe a Kurt Russell jawline, leading to today’s Gallifreyan query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) will leave this one open to any interpretation, even if you want to be David Hasselhoff or Doogie Howser, asking: Tomorrow, you get to become an entirely different Gallifreyan: How will you describe your next regeneration?

Nothing like a bit of gallant sacrifice followed by an alien that’s been following me around forever… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3w-BHsXt4I
I look like Glenn Ford but my voice is comes out like Klaus Nomi, and that’s what I use as a Sonic Screwdriver.
Let’s mix that sucker up!
Something along the lines of young Vincent Price.
