Ah, see, we don't watch SJA much... but its canonicity is unclear too seeing how the Doctor once said to Clyde that he could regenerate over 500 times.

500? It is actually said that the Doctors 12th and final regeneration (Doctor number 13) is supposed to be evil. Thats the rumor at least, no?

Well then he'll regenerate into 13, get killed immediately by his companion on his request prior to regenerating, and then become 14 on the way to 500.. :P

He told someobe in SJA that it was something like 507 times, but we know Rule 1: the Doctor lies.

Yup, the final regeneration is supposed to be evil, cf. The Trial of a Time Lord series but it's not entirely clear how that will work going forward...

We can only hope that Matt Smith doesn't get killed in 7th season. :P

You might be thinking of the Valeyard there ..?

Aside from the fact it wasn't the best writing in the world and that it was about 1/3 too long, Trial was a pretty neat idea and story. Also, it will be interesting if the Dream Lord makes another appearance, as that definitely reminded me of the Valeyard. IMO, it was very indirectly implied in the hotel episode in season 6 that's who's in room 11...

Maybe he lied about the regeneration limit too?

Almost certainly. Then again, this is Russell T Davies we're talking about...

Not really a surprise, not only does season 6 pretty much indicate that we're going to be leaving the Ponds behind anyway, it wasn't ever going to be a surprise to note that River was going to be back again - since we still haven't seen probably the most poignant scene of theirs yet.

(click to show/hide)
Where, as River explains, he took her to the singing towers of Darillium, and he cried, before giving her his screwdriver, because he knew it was time. Time to go to the Library.
