Narratively, this serial declared a finite limit on the amount of lives and [[regeneration]]s a [[Time Lord]] is entitled to. They can regenerate twelve times and live through thirteen incarnations, and upon the end of their thirteenth life, they come to a final end. Later stories would introduce exceptions to the rule, such as when new regeneration cycles are granted. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'')
