12 regenerations, so 13 doctors... until a plot device occurs giving him a new set of lives to keep the series going on and on and on and on...

Griffin is right, they kind of shot themselves in the foot by placing a limit on regenerations, lol, does anybody know which Doctor stated it? by memory I think it was between the 3rd and 5th Doctors though I could be wrong.

[Paulbot]

Simple resolution to the number of regenerations: just say the limit on regenerations was just a law the Time Lords enforced. No Time Lords, no more limits. Or you know, take a James Bond like approach?

I wasn't sure about this new incarnation before I watched the first episode, but by the end of the episode I thought David Who? Amy's pretty great so far too. I don't like the new desktop theme in the TARDIS though.

Sorry the Young Doc's don't float my boat, Tom Baker was my favourite closely followed by John Pertwee but you Young uns are most probably going John Who

Possibly because it's "Jon"?

The new season has been good - the Stephen Moffatt era so far is definitely better than the past few years of Russell T Davies. At least the dei ex machina basically make sense for once.

And Amy Pond is dreamy.

Perfect example being The Master.

The Richard Delgado Master was The Master's final regeneration, however he cheated it by using the body of Nyssa's father and regenerated into Anthony Ainley's Master.

He was then executed by The Dalek's in the movie however he managed to stay alive until he could find another body (Eric Roberts).

Some where along the line he got pulled out of The Eye of Harmony and as part of his contribution to the Time War was given a whole new body by The Time Lords.

And then he had his Lord Voldermort come back which was just your usual run of the mill RTD garbage.
