I would like to point out to the contributers that as I write this the episode has yet to air in my area of the USA.
I am looking forward to reading it in 4 & half hours.
 
 
== New Companion? ==
 
Please tell me we can list "Handles" as a companion of the Eleventh Doctor! I mean, if a shapeshifting penguin counts... --[[User:ScruffyC|ScruffyC]] [[User talk:ScruffyC|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:50, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

==Incarnations and regeneration cycle==
The article calls the Twelfth Doctor the "first incarnation of his new regeneration cycle", wouldn't it be more correct to say he is the second? The new cycle was given to the Eleventh Doctor, who then proceeded to use the first regeneration of his new cycle. The First Doctor never regenerated by if you list incarnations by regenerative cycle he would be considered the first incarnation of his original cycle, not the Second Doctor.
 
So it should be changed to 1) "second incarnation of his new regeneration cycle", but that would likely confuse people; 2) "first regeneration of his new regeneration cycle"; or 3) "new incarnation of his new regenerative cycle", new incarnation avoids the number issue but you could also add "first" to "new incarnation" to indicate that while the Eleventh Doctor would still be considered part of the new cycle, he was still a preexisting incarnation when the new cycle started. - [[User:The Light6|The Light6]] [[User talk:The Light6|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:00, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
:Eleven was already as good as dead when he gained his new cycle. As the First and War Doctors would say, his body was "wearing thin". He was about to die of old age. As such, the granting of a new cycle also triggered the regeneration. The new last Doctor would now be the 24th Doctor, the 26th incarnation. {{User:Digifiend/SigReal|22:56,26/12/2013}}
::Yes he was good as dead, but that ignores the point of it, that the new cycle was granted to him, and that he, however briefly, was part of that cycle. And the fact he also regenerated means that one regeneration of the new cycle has also already been used up, which means that the 23rd Doctor, not the 24th is the new last Doctor (barring any more [[War Doctor|non-Doctor, Doctors]] or [[Tenth Doctor|double-regeneration Doctors]], of course). - [[User:The Light6|The Light6]] [[User talk:The Light6|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:05, December 27, 2013 (UTC)
 
==Edit requests==
The last item on Story Notes needs some major spelling corrections. And the item about Smith's leg injury needs to be adjusted a little to reference the fact the Doctor uses a cane for part of the episode.

:::What? OK let me explain; the Doctor sent Clara back to Earth and than the TARDIS began to return to Trenzalore, before it dematerialised Clara clung to the side causing her to be brought along with the TARDIS, the TARDIS then arrived back on Trenzalore 300 years after it left but only a small period of time had passed for Clara and the TARDIS. - [[User:The Light6|The Light6]] [[User talk:The Light6|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 07:51, December 27, 2013 (UTC)
 
== Out of time? ==
 
When River shot the Doctor in an earlier episode he began to regenerate and yet in this episode he (correctly) mentions that he can no longer regenerate as he has used up all his lives.
I imagine quite a few people noticed this but I just wanted to mention it as a gaping continuity error. {{Unsigned-anon|82.5.19.138}}
 
:He never began to regenerate because [[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|it was actually]] the [[Teselecta]] disguised as the Doctor all along and was only mimicking regeneration. - [[User:The Light6|The Light6]] [[User talk:The Light6|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:04, December 27, 2013 (UTC)
 
Actually, this may be worth a mention. Originally, in [[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)]], it was the Doctor who was killed. That's why River choosing not to shoot him splintered time, and that's when the Doctor made the switch with the Teselecta.
 
Just like Trenzalore, originally the Doctor did die, but it was changed. Him having regen energy in TIA is, in hindsight, a continuity error. [[User:Jamie Jones54842|Jamie Jones54842]] [[User talk:Jamie Jones54842|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:00, December 27, 2013 (UTC)
