So the Regeneration limit jumps from 12 to 507...? SJA SPOILERS

[The Wormhole]

I figured that rtd had written most of the dialogue etc, but the only reason I asked was because rtd said that for elevens scenes in tennants finale moffat would write the lines cos smith was moffats doctor, just wondered if that had carried over.

I think Moffat writing the Eleventh Doctor's lines in The End of Time was more just a passing the torch gesture on RTD's part than anything else. I don't think Moffat was required, or that he demanded it. I think RTD just thought it would be a nice way thing to do.

Okay kids, place yer bets! How long can we keep this fight going?

I for one am massively entertained. I hope that Russell is reading it and "hooting."

Davies wanted no part in the creation of a new Doctor, having already created two of them! And he promised to leave the Doctor wherever Moffat wanted him.

Quitely plotting away in his mountain base home in Swansea.

"BWAHAHAHA! And the next line the doctor is going to say...."

"Remember that night we spent together Master? Oh hoho you certainly lived up to your name"

*Throws up*

My money is on FOREVER!

My money is on FOREVER!

My money is on 507.

Dammit. Beat me to it.

 

[Guartho]

What if they invest all this story effort, starting with this throwaway line, in explaining the new, 507 limit, then they pull the rug out and kill him at 13 anyway? bwahahahahaha!

 

[Davros]

The Doctor will have as many regenerations as the story needs him to have.

Absolutely Right(TM). The BBC does not care about the magic 13, nor should they.

 

[Mr Awe]

^ However, you can bet they'll make a big deal out of it when goes past 13.

Absolutely Right(TM), as well they should...

 

[VDCNI]

Well they're bound to use it for PR purposes - that's about all its good for.

 

[Samurai8472]

When this body hits 13 regenerations, you're going to see some serious shit.

Agree, it could be quite the story if done right.

Why is no-one counting the regeneration in The Stolen Earth / Journey's End? Did I miss something? Not that it matters much, of course, but should the show's creators opt to run with the limit of 12 regens starting with Hartnell, then they should really count it in.

It wasn't a proper regeneration. Or canon.

Got to disagree; It was only the Doctor's severed hand that changed anything. As someone once pointed out, if it doesn't count towards the limit then it should be standard procedure for Time Lords to lop off a body part every time they regenerate.

Of course, it may be that the event was eaten by the cracks and stayed gone.

Yes. And yet some people don't understand why I hold Russell in such disregard.

Yeah, that'll do nicely.

I heard that in Season Five of SJA, Sarah Jane is going to ask the Doctor if that used up a regeneration, and he's going to answer, "It did. Two."
