I was just wondering, has Steven Moffat changed the look of regenerations? Because it looks different to previous ones (Christopher E/ David Tennant Era).

Has anyone elso noticed this, or is it because of the enviroment they're in (outside TARDIS)?

If it is different, then it gives us a small hint that the 11th Doctor is not the final doctor. 92.7.116.41 20:46, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

What do you mean by that? The final Doctor would be the 13th or 507th. I think it was the environment and lighting, because I didn't see too much of a change. --94.8.120.120 21:10, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

The regeneration effect never stays the same. It was always a different effect in the classic show, and the Tenth Doctor's regeneration still looked slightly different from the Ninth Doctor's.Icecreamdif 21:23, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback, What I meant by the final doctor, was that if he was to be killed during mid regeneration like in 'The Impossible Astronaut', then he would be dead forever, therefore it would deem him the final incarnation of the Doctor or Doctor Who.

P.S. I never noticed a difference between the 9th and 10th regeneration apart from the viciosness of the 10th's, apart from that, they were practically the same. 92.7.116.41 21:45, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

9 and 10's were more similar than other regenerations have been in the past, but the effect was improved a bit for the 10th Doctor's regeneration. Based on The Impossible Astronaut, the 11th Doctor will be the last one, but they will probably find some excuse for time to be rewritten, despite what River said about it causing a paradox.Icecreamdif 22:07, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Well Moffat did say he had some naughty way for the regeneration limit to be removed, this may include a method for bringing timelords back to life e.g. The Master (for the Last Great Time War). I have a feeling it is a ancient timelord secret, which Amy, River and Rory have to go in a quest to revive the Doctor. It all fits in, River is a archaeologist, she may uncover the secret, plus she can pilot the TARDIS.

I have a feeling River plays a vital role in this series, I believe the revival requires her to know the Doctors name. Time Will Tell 92.7.116.41 22:38, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
