* This is the only story to reference the fact that Time Lords get 12 regenerations and 13 lives. | * This is the only story to reference the fact that Time Lords get 12 regenerations and 13 lives. Early interviews with the production team behind the 2005 revival (including [[David Tennant]] in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' #415) had made it appear as if the allocation of 13 lives in this story is a piece of minutia unique to this story. In fact, the 13-life limit has been a major plot element of at least three other stories, both of which involve villains attempting to steal the Doctor's remaining regenerations: [[TV]]: ''[[The Keeper of Traken (TV story)|The Keeper of Traken]]'', ''[[Mawdryn Undead]]'' and [[Doctor Who (1996)|the 1996 TV movie]]. All of these stories referenced the 13th life limit in dialogue. Other Time Lords have been encountered since ''The Deadly Assassin'' in later stories who have reached their 13th and final incarnation, namely [[Azmael]] and [[Salyavin]]. | ||
::* In ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'', the [[Eleventh Doctor]] acknowledged this limit as well, and revealed that he was actually in his thirteenth and (presumably) final incarnation. He was able to regenerate again at the end of this story only due to being granted a new cycle of regenerations by the Time Lords. | |||
