92: I still remember when it was "confirmed" that River Song was human. I remember when it was "confirmed" that JlC's character would make a Christmas debut. Basically... A pinch of salt would be useful with these confirmations.

I am of the thought that 'Hurt' falls within the Time War for most of the reasons above. I have also read some discussion where people are saying that the Doctor admits freely his role in the time war and therefore Hurt cannot be time-war doctor because he would therefore not be a secret. This part I have to disagree with, The Doctor openly abhors the use of weapons but is not above manipulating others into failure and/or death. | |||
My thought is that he uses his role in the time-war as leverage or as a deterrent. He never actually explains how he did end the time-war other than that he did so in a way which destroyed both sides. Perhaps the person (Hurt) who could do whatever this thing is which ended the time-war did so in such a way that it makes his future selves ashamed of the actions but support the result. He ended the war but at the cost of his own principles and 'promise to be the doctor'. Therefore his actions themselves are secret but the result(time-war ending) is something that he uses as a 'weapon' to strike fear into his enemies. | |||
