:: The Doctor said that those regenerations were "used up," so he most likely did not get to keep them, Besides, they were used to ''bring the Doctor back to life''; that's not something that should come as cheap as kissing him and giving him your remaining regens all wrapped up in a bow. What River did was basically what the Doctor did in ''The Angels Take Manhattan'' where he used some of his regen energy in order to heal River's wrist, and if you'll remember, she got mad at him for that, saying that he was "wasting" regeneration energy. Frankly, I'm more interested to see if they'll factor in the half-regeneration from ''Journey's End'' when it comes time to deal with the limit. Logically, they should, as he still used up a whole regen's worth.

:::Unless, of course, it's not how much regeneration energy a Time Lord has that determines how many times they can regenerate, but how they use it. Put better: maybe Time Lords can only physically survive regeneration energy shooting through them 12 times, and since 10 shot the regeneration energy into something else, it took a "side route" and didn't fully affect him. (That made more sense in my head.) Or maybe its ''changing'' 12 times that takes the toll. 10 didn't physically change, so it didn't count. And Romana could "try out" so many forms because she was doing so during a certain "buffer" period of time. And the Time Lords gained the power to regenerate from the Untempered Schism, which the High Council might somehow be able to control the effects of, so they gave the Master new sets of regenerations and/or the ability to survive more. Or, it was by High Council decree that Time Lords were limited to 12 regenerations, and since the Council is gone, the rule no longer applies (we haven't heard otherwise, I don't think). (And this is getting off topic from the original post.) —[[User:BioniclesaurKing4t2|BioniclesaurKing4t2]] - [[User talk:BioniclesaurKing4t2|"Hello, I'm the Doctor.]] [[Special:Contributions/BioniclesaurKing4t2|Basically, . . .
