It's about to start in a couple minutes and I'm not going to watch it even though I really easily could.

I hope not. The rule is that a Time Lord can regenerate twelve times. This means that you can have thirteen different Doctors. Which they have with Peter Capaldi. I would think that the "twelve regeneration limit" would be better addressed when the Doctor is actually on his final regeneration, especially since you could do some strong character work with how he reacts to the oncoming end. If they change that before it becomes critical, then they lose a potential story edge that they would have.
Granted, I don't want it to be something they explain away at the last second, but I'd prefer to see Capaldi's Doctor have to wrestle with his mortality for a time before they do address it.
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

But more importantly, the twelve regenerations limit was introduced in a serial that also provided the writers with a way out by acknowledging that Time Lords could gain additional regeneration cycles; the Master did precisely this in that story (The Deadly Assassin). So whatever they come up with won't be a retcon because, well, the matter had already been addressed a long time ago.
You can stop debating now.
(SPOILER)Time Lords having only twelve regenerations, confirmed. 10 turning into 10 counted as a regeneration confirmed by The Doctor himself on the episode. The Doctor got a new cycle of regenerations, don't ask me how because I missed that part because I had to grab my dinner but the numbers has been reset.
Eleven went out like a bawse.

I hate it when people say "Meta-Crisis counts as a regeneration". No. Ten regenerated into himself, and Meta-Crisis came shortly after. They have nothing to do with one another.
told u guys
That was great, though. All those little callbacks to the previous story arcs of the 11th Doctor. Silence Will Fall, the kid waiting for him by the TARDIS as Amy's theme plays, Fishfingers and Custard. A great way to wrap up his story.
As per my tradition of every new Doctor who comes in, I DON'T LIKE YOU MR CAPALDI GO AWAY
Bowties will forever be cool.
My bad, Jinx, you're right.
I only have one question

That would bring us up to fifteen regenerations, if Meta-Crisis (the separate entity unto the Doctor) counts as a regeneration.
And the episode didn't really confirm Meta-Crisis. It confirmed when he re-generated into himself. Hence him being "full of himself".
Meta-Crisis is not a regeneration, the regeneration was into himself and Dildo was formed because of the residual regeneration energy in the hand and Donna being Donna. But it's just semantics really, that whole event counts as an official regeneration. Hoo-ray.
And #1 obviously does not count as a regeneration.
Technically, no. But it was an incarnation! There, happy?14 regeneration, if you count Meta-Crisis.
13 if you don't count him (but still count when Ten regenerated into himself).
Anyways, about the episode:
It wasn't quite as emotional as I wanted to be. I know that might sound weird, but I really wanted tears and blubbering because Matt is my Doctor. I did get rather teary eyed when Amy showed up. THE NAILS. THE PINEAPPLE SKIRT.
The Doctor finally learned
(SPOILER)That if you're going to release massive amount of regenerative energy aim it at an enemy's ship.
I wonder if the actual regeneration being so quick was to go in contrast with Ten's being so long and drawn out and if Karen was there in person...
What's this My Doctor business? Is this a Time Crash reference? 8 (AND I ONLY JUST GOT TO SEE HIM REGEN AFTER HOW MANY smurfING YEARS), 9, 10 and indeed Mr. Smith are all My Doctors and I love them all dearly.
I love them all, of course.
But Matt
Matt
oh Matt
