    I'm slightly less confused than I was. :)

    I Hurt supposed to be the last regen, or the before the first, or the
    not a regen?????


    We don't know (he might also slot in between Eight and Nine), but I
    imagine that we'll find out in the 50th anniversary episode in November.

    --POSSIBLE SPOILERS, guesses--



































    I read somewhere that it's POSSIBLE that Hurt is the 9th doctor. The spoiler site said something along the lines of, so the 9th doctor was supposed to be the doctor that was in the time war, and a lot of bad things happened so the doctor basically blocked his existance from his memory.

    If this comes to pass then it means that Hurt is 9, Eccelion is 10, Tennant is 11 and Smith is 12. Might also explain why when Smith crash landed the tardis on Trensalor and he cracked the window, if you notice the "dead" tardis you see
    the same crack on the same window. It could be that Smith is the last doctor and it's his tardis on Trensalor.

    Right now you are confused, I think that's how it should be. I have no idea if any of this is true of course, and I am not an expert Whovian, so someone please state I'm full of it because I prefer to be blissfully ignorat while watching this show.

    The site said something along the lines that I guess some paparatzi spilled the
    beans about Hurt being filmed on the Who set like weeks ago. Fortunatly I don't
    read that stuff, and was able to be surprised when I saw the episode on Saturday.

    Needless to say I'll be on pins and needles until 11/23/2013. Can't wait.

    It could be my own confusion, but it seems to me that The Doctor himself
    firmly rejects the idea of describing Hurt's character as "The Doctor",
    but the text on the final scene does precisely that.

    The Doctor describes his adoption of "The Doctor", and his decision to
    behave in a way that matches that description, as a reaction to what
    Hurt's character did. This implies that Hurt's character preceded the
    Doctor's first incarnation. If they are indeed the same person, that
    implies that The Doctor's 11th incarnation is actually that person's
    12th incarnation.

    I've never read Lungburrow, but I've read about it at <http://tardis.wikia.com/>. According to that novel, Time Lord Society
    was founded by three entities known as Rassilon, Omega, and The Other.
    It also says that no new Gallifreyans have been born since they were hit
    by the Curse of Pythia, and they now reproduce by a mechanism call a
    "Loom". It implies that The Doctor's first incarnation was the
    re-Looming, 10 million years later, of The Other. Given how The Other's partners turned out, I could easily imagine that The Other might have
    done something that would make The Doctor feel guilty.

    I don't consider the novels canonical, but it's possible that the TV
    show is planning to use at least some of the ideas from that story.
    There's now way to know until November.

    <The Doctors Name>

    If this comes to pass then it means that Hurt is 9, Eccelion is 10, Tennant is 11 and Smith is 12.

    Do you remember "The Ultimate Foe"? The Master said "The Valeyard, Doctor, is your penultimate reincarnation... Somewhere between your twelfth and thirteenth regeneration". Considering that the second Doctor was between the first and second regeneration, The Valeyard must be the 12th Doctor. However, if there's a thirteenth regeneration, the must also be a fourteenth Doctor, but then the penultimate reincarnation must be the thirteenth Doctor ...
