For any redemption -- or anything else involving the Hurt Doctor, come to that -- we'll need to be told enough to know why he's "not the Doctor" (i.e., unworthy of the name) but that might not mean showing us much. A lot can be conveyed by dialogue & leaving things to the viewers' imaginations -- the Time War is an example of that. I expect we'll end up knowing more but not everything; leaving some mystery is usually a more effective story-telling technique. --[[Special:Contributions/89.242.70.0|89.242.70.0]]<sup>[[User talk:89.242.70.0#top|talk to me]]</sup> 13:59, June 17, 2013 (UTC) | For any redemption -- or anything else involving the Hurt Doctor, come to that -- we'll need to be told enough to know why he's "not the Doctor" (i.e., unworthy of the name) but that might not mean showing us much.

Everyone might yell at me here, but I have a possible suggestion to the theories. Would it not be possible that john hurt is not the doctor that we know. Wouldn't it be possible that he is in some way related to our doctor for example (and this is just as an example). John hurt is the father of our doctor. So in this case, the father of our doctor could be called "the doctor". In that case then the father of the doctor could have started the time war or helped it in start in some way. In john's mind this could be his peace and sanity. To start the time war. Because of this our doctor decides to stop him by putting them in the time lock. After all this is through he sees that the name doctor is tarnished by what his father did, so he decides to become a better doctor and names himself the doctor. As for the quote in the last episode where Matt smith says he is me. That could by just a symbolic thing. Saying, that is his father. Like how I am like my father kinda thing. Just a theory. | Everyone might yell at me here, but I have a possible suggestion to the theories. Would it not be possible that john hurt is not the doctor that we know.

Actually, if anyone needs to yell at you it's for not signing your contribution. :) | |||
You have an interesting point, though. It's one that could possibly work, given that there isn't really any canonical precedent for a Time Lord either HAVING to have a unique name, or else having taken a former Time Lord's name. In other words, either one could be possible; nothing's been ruled one way or the other. However, I don't really think this is the way it's likely to happen--it just seems more likely, even with Moffat's known penchant for the unexpected plot twist, that Hurt is indeed playing some version of the Doctor himself.
