* 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.

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]].
