I second the need for the cliffhangers! I love the new show, but in a lot of ways it reminds me of STTNG. I want one of those sonic screwdrivers! Dan. I just remember the doctors building machines and even fighting, 3rd doctor, with his Venutian Karate! Reduce the use of the sonic screwdriver, what next use it to make tea? Conclusion: Get rid of the sonic screwdriver altogether!

Well... there's also the 5th Doctor in "The Haunting of Thomas Brewster" as well as the 8th Doctor in "The Adventuress of Henrietta Street". And a in "The Blue Angel", a future unspecified Doctor has a handlebar moustache and travels with a black boy in a skin-tight silver jumpsuit.

Ok, I sit corrected! (Doctors can do wonders these days!) :)

It still is the elven Doctor. David regenrating into David is inaccurate. He didn't complete the regeneration. Now the reason Time Lords only have 12 regenerations is because of the rearraging of the brain cells cannot go past the 12th. So because he didn't go through a full regeneration, he's brain cells weren't rearranged hence, he still has three more regenerations. That is till they come up with some way to go past the thirteen. OR just ignore established mythos.

It's already established as far back as "The Five Doctors" that the Time Lords can give additional regenerations if they so wish. |It was something they offered the Master to persuade him to assist the Doctor. Allowing for the fact that the Time Lords are all dead, which existentially speaking is a difficult concept anyway, it would simply require the Doctor to find and make use of whatever science or technology his people already had.
All the best, David

I know it's not strictly canon, but didn't it say in Lungbarrow that one of the founders of Gallifrey(I can't remember which) put a deliberate restriction on regenerations?

I think that it was said that the timelords had put a limit of 12 regenerations onto every timelord.
As their all dead that limit could now be gone.
This is only going to run for six episodes right...

But we all know that the Master has gone well beyond his allotted lives, so the precedent is set. If SM's got any sense he'll bring the TL's back - if nothing else they are able to act as 'enablers' for a story, to give rhyme and reason, rather than just constant random roamings.

The Doctor could still die though as they need certain conditions to regenerate I think.
Let's let the TV series production crew sort that out though.

If not there must be some out there, not all of them could have taken part in the Time War.

Or ones from their past travel forward, past the Time War, and become the future Time Lords. Or something. Besides over use of the Sonic Screwdriver, RTMs biggest mistake was removing the Time Lords.

There must have been loads of renegades or proper time travelling Time Lords, and of course Susan who was left on Earth.

There's probably millions of them out there. They can't all be law abiding citizens.

Not in his sense of the word. In his antimatter universe.
