Women can't wear clothes with pockets?

Yeah, the rules for regeneration are getting strange: for some reason, the writing staff says switching genders is okay, but somehow, you're still limited to doing it a total of 12 times?

I noticed that, too, regarding the number of regenerations.  Isn't this going to be the thirteenth?  How are they going to explain that?

She'd be the twelfth regeneration if the first one wasn't a regeneration of a previous one.

Will she be in the movies or is there some series I haven't heard about? I saw the same article in Facebook and you'll actually be surprised but the fanboys are actually defending the decision, they were saying something about Who being a alien or something and change forms, I'm not sure but it seemed legit.

Edit: Ok you already knew that sorryyy
Edit 2: Actually, everybody knows that, I'll let myself out, lol.

I'm still waiting for a news that someone had cast a woman to play Jesus in a movie.

Meh you're not missing much IMO. Never understood the craze.

I stopped liking the show after River Song's origin was revealed. I already disliked them bringing along both Amy and Rory, the two had zero chemistry and even their characters did nothing to indicate they were actually interested in each other, so the show did a terrible job in that respect. They can take it in whatever direction they like, I'm just no longer interested. Good for them if they want to explore completely new territory, but if they're not going to put their best effort into it, it's not something I want to follow.

Haven't seen the past season yet, but didn't the 11th Doctor get extra regenerations after Clara asked Gallfrey to help him so he could take on the Daleks in The Time of the Doctor?

I don't remember that...but sure...why not make the regenerations something that the government of Gallifrey can add to?
It's not like it's always been a sort of biological ability that all time lords have, is it?

It was in Matt Smiths last Christmas episode. As for regeneration itself, as with most explanations of Time Lord lore, the go to answer is: Rassilon did it.

Rassilon in the new series is insane / evil but in the original series he was the highly respected founder of Time Lord society and helped invented time travel and regeneration as well as most other things. So it's totally possible that Rassilon granted a new set of regenerations to the Doctor in order to ensure that the Doctor could find Gallifrey.

So if he resets the whole regeneration cycle back to 0, that would mean he gets another 10 after Matt Smith, and Capaldi is the first of that new decalogue? Interesting.
