*Since the Doctor went through the whole regeneration process, is he now in his eleventh incarnation or did feeding off the energy to his hand allow him to still have three regenerations left? ''A Meta-Crisis appears to be an alternative form of preventing death while at the same time preventing regeneration, therefor the Doctor still has three regenerations left since he prevented this one. By feeding the regeneration energy into his severed hand the Doctor healed his wounds without regenerating. Meta-Crisis's would mostly likely be rare occurrences with Time Lords since they require a severed appendage.'' -One other possibility to consider. This is now the Doctor's first regeneration. You may recall on the Valiant the Master took away the Doctor's regenerations and put all years of the Doctor's previous incarnations onto the current incarnation. When the Doctor was restored by the psychic net, were his 12 regenerations not also restored? ''The Master didn't take his regenerations away, he only aged the Doctor while suspending his ability to regenerate. The psychic energies only gave him the power he needed to undo the changes the Master had done.'' | *Since the Doctor went through the whole regeneration process, is he now in his eleventh incarnation or did feeding off the energy to his hand allow him to still have three regenerations left?

* When Martha teleports and hears the German Daleks why does the TARDIS not translate the German? ''The TARDIS wasn't anywhere near her... Also, she understood German, so it wouldn't have needed to be translated. Also, the TARDIS had just 'switched off'. It wouldn't have worked.'' | * When Martha teleports and hears the German Daleks why does the TARDIS not translate the German? ''The TARDIS wasn't anywhere near her...

*Why do the Daleks stationed in Germany go to the trouble of translating their orders into fairly comprehensible German, but use the made-up word 'extermenieren' instead of the verb 'ausrotten', which is the true German translation for 'exterminate'? ''Because it's fiction, duh.'' ''Extemenieren sounds cooler.'' ''Daleks will exterminate!'' | *Why do the Daleks stationed in Germany go to the trouble of translating their orders into fairly comprehensible German, but use the made-up word 'extermenieren' instead of the verb 'ausrotten', which is the true German translation for 'exterminate'?

*The Doctor Who Paul McGann movie asserted that the Doctor was already half-human yet here we have a truly "half-human half-Time Lord" Doctor who is quite different since he only has one life. This seems to confirm the belief that the [[Eighth Doctor]]'s claim of being half-human was actually an elaborate trick to fool [[The Master]] in [[The Enemy Within]]. | *The Doctor Who Paul McGann movie asserted that the Doctor was already half-human yet here we have a truly "half-human half-Time Lord" Doctor who is quite different since he only has one life.

Agreed, many fans already see the Doctor's claim to be non-canon by common consensus. | ||
