* Regenerative energy again proves to be highly damaging to non-organic objects, with the Doctor using the regenerative reset he undergoes prior to his full regeneration to destroy the Daleks attacking Trenzalore. When the Tenth Doctor regenerated, some of that energy hit the TARDIS console, causing major damage and sending it out of control.

* The Doctor visibly ages during the 300 years between when he sends Clara home and when she returns, gaining grey hair and wrinkles and requiring a cane to walk. He ages even further during the 600 years between when he sends Clara home again and when Tasha Lem collects her to say goodbye to him. Previously, the Doctor spent 200 years running from his fate at [[Lake Silencio]], yet was apparently young enough in his body then to not appear to age much.

* Like the Tenth Doctor, whose visible injuries were healed as the regeneration process began, the Eleventh Doctor undergoes a pre-regenerative "reset" to his original youthful self. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') This is the first time the Doctor has been explicitly seen to "de-age" prior to undergoing full regeneration; his comments about the reset indicates this to be uncommon. A possibly similar (but never-explained) apparition, [[the Watcher]], was seen by both the [[Fourth Doctor|Fourth]] and [[Fifth Doctor|Fifth]] Doctors prior to their respective regenerations (with the former meeting a physical manifestation and the latter encountering a mental recreation within his own mindscape).

* It is learned that [[Madame Kovarian]] led a rogue faction of the "Church of the Silence" that broke off and travelled back along the Doctor's timeline, trying to stop him from reaching Trenzalore and answering the [[First Question]]. Their actions failed, and in fact ''caused'' the events they feared to occur - trying to blow the TARDIS up ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'') caused the cracks to appear, and the assassin they manufactured to kill the Doctor - River Song - ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'', ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'') ended up being the Doctor's wife and ally. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'') The Doctor called this the Destiny Trap - "You can't change history if you're already a part of it." | * It is learned that [[Madame Kovarian]] led a rogue faction of the "Church of the Silence" that broke off and travelled back along the Doctor's timeline, trying to stop him from reaching Trenzalore and answering the [[First Question]].

** A similar series of events transpired when guerillas traveled back in time to the [[20th century]] to assassinate [[Reginald Styles|Styles]], in the belief his death would prevent the [[Dalek]] invasion of Earth in the [[22nd century]].
