So, all told, there's only one man who could be so evil as to make the issue of limited regenerations worrisome.
And that man is Moffet! He's killed people you love. Stop him, before he strikes again!
LMFAO!!
Anywho, since Matt Smith did appear in Sarah Jane's Diary, he mentioned there that there's
no limit to how many time he can regenerate.
Why? I thought there were only 12 regenerations, and 13 incarnations?
I'll tell you why:
Apparently BBC also has no intention of stopping Doctor Who even past the 13th Doctor. This being that the series has suddenly turned into their flagship (I think) and has growing in audience. At the same time, we can look at the technicalities: The Time Lords are capable of only 12 regenerations because the High Council limited it; Rassilon found a "truer" form of immortality, and the Master was granted multiple regenerations by the High Council because he proved to be an excellent soldier for the Time War.
But the High Council isn't there anymore, is it? The Time Lords are extinct. So what's stopping the Doctor from living forever? Eventually he'd outlive the universe, and find himself teaming up with himself over and over and over again.
Anywho, back to the "evil Doctor" bit: I don't think that Matt Smith's version is "bumped up to 12th Doctor", at least not by BBC standards. Instead, if what Bekkler says is true, than John Hurt is actually an older version of the 8th Doctor, who presumably took part in the Time War and regenerated into the 9th eventually. We do know by fact that the
8th had a ridiculous amount of adventures not shown on TV, and there's the missing arc where the eccentric debonair 8th turns into a comically ruthless and dark 9th. Why? We've seen the Doctor face impossible odds and still come out with his humanity intact (except for "Waters of Mars"). So what sort of a grotesque, dark circumstances pull this man of integrity to a breaking point?
Time War, isn't it?
You weren't there in the final days of the Time War. You don't know what was born. Skaro Degredation. Hoarde of Travesties. Nightmare Child. The Could-Have-Been-King with his armies of Meanwhiles and Neverweres. The war turned into hell. Hell is descending!....Dammit, I wanna make a fan-animation of Time War (but not too complex), but I wonder where I can get a British voice actor around here...
