If that were true he wouldn't have shown up in Day of the Doctor. [Reply]

Argh. I'm dying here. I've gotten my son and I all caught up and we're waiting for the Christmas special. I've been avoiding this thread like the plague (spoilers) but I have finally been able to read it all the way through. [Reply]
...and there aresomany ways that they can get around the regeneration issue. I have several pet theories but they'll probably do one that I didn't think of. Looking forward to it. [Reply]
