Apologies, totally missed that @ tag.

On your theory, sure! Why not?! 🙂 It’s definitely up there with the crazy ones but crazy is good, it wouldn’t be Doctor Who without a few mad notions about.

Also definitely one of the more inventive, so kudos 🙂

I hadn’t wanted to kick off a regeneration debate because I know they are still a bit of a sticking point for a lot of people, but that one seemed to be a relatively untouched angle to come at without going near the 11/12/13 argument.

When this is happening he’s in the TARDIS speaking to The TARDIS, on his own…  So that scene had nothing to do with enemies or River Song…

@nick that’s a fair point. Being a spritely 649 I’m not sure I know 😉

Interesting point on realising how many he had used…

But I’m not sure why he wouldn’t know… He knew that 10 had regenerated and kept his face and that “Captain Grumpy” counted even though he didn’t call himself The Doctor.

I’m not sure being the last of the Time Lords he wouldn’t be acutely aware of how close he was to his last regeneration/end of his life, but I grant you… could have been 🙂

Hey first post and possibly the wrong thread… but how and ever…

Just on this ep and tying in with Let’s Kill Hitler, wondering about this and to a lesser extent the whole Lake Silencia story arc, there’s a comment when The Doctor has been poisoned and is talking to the voice interface/Amelia Pond, where he says something along the lines of “Basically, better regenerate, that’s what you’re saying…”

I know that this was written long before Day/Time of The Doctor, but I was curious has any explanation ever been thought of for why, when The Doctor knew he was on his last regeneration, he was thinking about trying to regenerate. Again, this is the same with Lake Silencia, sort of…

Moffat is usually pretty clear about how this sort of thing works out (even if he just makes it up to appease fans), so wondering if that was ever discussed or brought up 🙂

Cheers!
