::If the writers can't think of anything else, they can just say that the 12-regeneration limit was artificially enforced by the Time Lords &, with them gone, no longer applies. But if the writers can't think of anything else, they shouldn't be writing for ''Doctor Who'' (or any other show). The Doctor couldn't stop her sacrificing her regenerations to save his life but, if a transer such as the one suggested had happened, he'd be able to give them back. It would undermine the Doctor's character badly if he didn't at least make a very determined effort to do so. --[[Special:Contributions/89.240.251.36|89.240.251.36]]<sup>[[User talk:89.240.251.36#top|talk to me]]</sup> 15:11, October 3, 2012 (UTC) | ::If the writers can't think of anything else, they can just say that the 12-regeneration limit was artificially enforced by the Time Lords &, with them gone, no longer applies.

:I never really bought into the idea of River having to give up all of her regenerations just to bring him back. Even when Amy tells River about it, she uses the word "apparently", meaning she obviously was told this by the Doctor. Yet in that very same scene in the hospital, we hear the Doctor remind us "The Doctor lies, rule 1." The important thing to note is that, unless they rewrite the events of the Library (which is '''highly''' unlikely, since that's when he met her) we won't ever know. They made a point in Silence in the Library to have River say that the very same thing that killed her would have killed the Doctor without ever allowing him to regenerate. So if she '''has''' remaining regenerations, from now on she still won't be anyone but Alex Kingston since that's who she is now and that's who she died as. So it really doesn't matter if she has them or not, at least not in the context of herself regenerating.
