Re: Matt Smith exit from Doctor Who confirmed
Didn't they already handwave away the regeneration limit in the episode where the Doctor was reunited with Sarah Jane Smith? I distinctly remember there being some talk about that...

Nope, he merely said he'd regenerated "half a dozen times since we last met" which is correct, going from 4th to 10th Doctor.Sute wrote:Didn't they already handwave away the regeneration limit in the episode where the Doctor was reunited with Sarah Jane Smith?

Re: Matt Smith exit from Doctor Who confirmed
Assuming you ignore the fact that the last Doctor Sarah met was Five, in The Five Doctors. There was also the SJA episode with Eleven where he threw out an enormous random number when asked how many times he could regenerate.Eternal_Freedom wrote:Nope, he merely said he'd regenerated "half a dozen times since we last met" which is correct, going from 4th to 10th Doctor.

How about we now know there is at least one more regeneration out there, during the timewar years? John Hurt's character might not carry the name The Doctor, but it's still the same body he's lugging around.Captain Seafort wrote:Assuming you ignore the fact that the last Doctor Sarah met was Five, in The Five Doctors.

We also don't know where Hurt fits in yet - given how seriously the Beeb have always taken keeping major aspects of the plot secret until broadcast, especially under Moffat, I'm suspicious about any alleged leaks.Atlan wrote:How about we now know there is at least one more regeneration out there, during the timewar years?
