ellarienDidn't there used to be a canonical limit on the number of regenerations per customer? Did that get retconned away, or just quietly forgotten? I thought it was twelve, so if they're up to eleven now, it could start to matter.
It did occur to me that the angsting about regeneration because it feels like dying might be a replacement for the limit, as there obviously has to be some in-story deterrent to casual regeneration for contractual reasons.
Also, that whole thing about President Obama making a special announcement at Christmas about how he's going to save the economy? That really isn't how American politics works, as far as I can tell from one-and-a-bit presidencies of semi-detached observation.) (And Christmas 2009 was way past the point anyone was expecting miracles, anyway. Maybe in February or March ...)
(Yes, I'm a bit behind the times. I think I must have been otherwise engaged when this first aired over here.)
