: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.

::It's as clear as anything could possibly be in Doctor Who that River used up all of her regenerations saving the Doctor, she has none left, and he's still on 11 out of 13. | |||
::In River Song: Her Story, at 02:57, River's narration says, "And so I gave all my remaining lives to restore his." During the same Confidential, Moffat described it as River using up all of her regenerations. | |||
::In an interview the next morning, Moffat was asked whether this gave the Doctor any new regenerations, and he laughed and said, "I hope we can come up with a more creative solution than that." But the best quote from Moffat is: "People keep asking this. It's like asking what colour the TARDIS is. Did they not watch the show?" --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 02:45, October 4, 2012 (UTC) | |||
