Matt Smith will leave "Doctor Who" at the conclusion of the 2013 Christmas special, which now has a name.
The BBC announced the name, along with some teaser art, on Twitter, writing, "We can confirm that the title of the @bbcdoctorwho Christmas Special is 'The Time of the Doctor'."

I wonder if we will actually see Peter Capaldi as the Doctor or will it end with the green mist coming out of Matt Smith?

 

[osu1991]

I would imagine we will at least see Capaldi in the regeneration sequence, since they didn't start filming until after Capaldi was announced as the next in line.

Apparently Moffet is counting Tennant twice (due to the non-appearance changing regeneration), there making Matt Smith the final 12th regeneration, and thus will deal with the regeneration limit in the episode.

Amazing that in a fictional show they are able to suddenly change the rules and let the Doctor regenerate again

But, it is interesting that they never thought that 12 regenerations would limit themselves... The show has lasted a lot longer than they originally thought.

Do we know for sure who the John Hurt Doctor regenerated or will regenerate into?

He regenerated in to Christopher Ecclestons Doctor. You can see that in the 50th anniversay special

Freeze frame the John Hurt regeneration and you will see Eccleston

I missed that the first time through. All these regenerations are hard to keep track of!

John Nathan Turner (producer during Tom Baker's final year and throughout Peter Davison/Colin Baker/Sly Mccoy) was asked about the regeneration limit, and what they would do if they came upon it. He said, "Simple, we'll just find a stone of regeneration or some such nonsense and go on ahead."

Right now they have an easy out, just say he has the regenerations that River used to heal him. She regenerated twice that we saw, and used up one healing the Doctor, so simple to say he now has 9 more. The Mawdryn Undead episode showed that regenerations could be transfered from one person to another.

Loved his comment about the ears, since that's the first thing Eccleston commented on when he first saw himself in the mirror in "Rose".

Strax field report on what he thinks of the Doctor's different incarnations.

 

[osu1991]

Well nice little surprise cameo at end but kind of a slow episode.

 

[Derwin0]

I thought it was kinda slow as well, especially in the middle.

After all the clothing hollogram setup early, when she saw the younger Doctor in the Tardis, I was expecting it to be an already regenerated 13th Doctor using a Smith hollogram to say goodbye before revealing his new face.
