It all makes sense now. John Hurt is the Lost Doctor. I've heard about this rumor earlier but this makes it clear. John Hurt is the true 9th Doctor in between the 8th Doctor and Christopher Eccleston's 9th Doctor. However, they were able to incorporate this game-changing revelation. In the episode, it's stated that Hurt's Doctor didn't act in the name of the Doctor. This means that while this makes Eccleston the 10th incarnation, Tennant the 11th incarnation, and Smith the 12th incarnation, they still remain as the 9th, 10th, and 11th Doctors respectively. It's also cool how this was the meaning of the episode's title. The title didn't mean the Doctor's true name but rather the Doctor's incarnations acting in the name of the Doctor, save for Hurt's incarnation. | It all makes sense now.

:The was my first thought. Then I thought maybe he is a earlier version of the First Doctor. We all know that the Doctor has a very "mysterious and dark" side when he was younger, before he left Gallifrey. It is alluded to over and over during the 7th Doctor's run.--[[User:Deb1701|Deb1701]] 13:01, May 19, 2013 (UTC) | :The was my first thought.

::As [[User:Shambala108|'''Shambala108''']] said above, there's a better place for this discussion on the [[Howling:Theories on John Hurt|Howlings]] page, but here's a quick argument against the "Lost Doctor" idea: If Trenzalore was meant to be the site of the "Fall of the Eleventh," and there is a lost regeneration of the Doctor, then Matt Smith is the Twelfth and David Tennant is the Eleventh. But this means that it would have been Tennant who came to Trenzalore, not Smith. Even though the Doctor says that Hurt did not act "in the name of the Doctor," it would not change the fact that Hurt's being a separate regeneration would shift the count completely. Note that the prophecy says only "Fall of the Eleventh," and ''not'' "Fall of the Eleventh ''Doctor''." Thus, it is unlikely that Hurt is meant to lie between 8 and 9.
