ResidentSadist -> RE: John Hurt as the new Doctor? (5/19/2013 2:03:50 AM)

Well, when River Song saves the Doctor, curing him of the Poison she gave him, she used her remaining regenerations. The general fan impressions are that she has 1 life left (which is correct) and gave the Doctor 10 or 11 more regenerations (which may not be correct).
The story synopsis for that episode Lets Kill Hitler does not say the regenerations passed onto him, only that she spent them to revive him:
. . . On returning to the café, the trio finds the Doctor near death; he asks River to find "River Song" and give her a message, then whispers something in her ear before he passes away. River, who at this point still only knows herself as Melody Pond, asks Amy who River Song is; Amy uses the Teselecta to show River her form stored in the robot's database of who she is to become. With this, River sacrifices her remaining regenerations to bring the Doctor back to life, and passes out. The Doctor, Amy, and Rory take her to a hospital in the far future, leaving the TARDIS-shaped diary as a gift by her bedside, and depart. Later, River is shown becoming an archaeologist so she can find the Doctor herself. Aboard the TARDIS, the Doctor has discovered the date of his death from the records aboard the Teselecta, but does not reveal this knowledge to Amy or Rory.
