Maybe this. It's not in spoilers as only my thoughts. McCann regenerates into hurt to fight time war. 10 n 11 reboot it so war doesn't happen. Moffat loves a reboot. McCann regenerates into CE n time lords reappear so can be used in future.

Thanks, because it seems that this year it REALLY blows.
Has seeing the most peaceful of Doctors be hated, die, lose an innocent, shout and then choose war all in 6 minutes helped a bit? I know he's not exactly getting tortured yet, but Young John Hurt didn't become Old John Hurt without some nasty things happening to him. You don't get a craggy face like that selling shower curtains.

:eek: I'm talking about Children In Need that blows. I thought the mini episode yesterday was excellent!
To answer the question in the thread title, I don't think it is really. The way the story was reintroduced when they started the show again made sense but did leave a narrative gap. What was originally backstory has now become a bit of an awkward narrative hole as the series has developed and reconnected a bit more with the original series. We've now reached a point where the Time War isn't really doing much of importance in the ongoing narrative and we can now deal with it move on. An major anniversary is really the only time you can legitimately do a bit of navel gazing and in particular it's important to fill in the Time War a bit while it's still in people's minds and the previous Doctors aren't too old for previously unfilmed regeneration scenes etc.
since the daleks are basically nazis inside blitzkrieg tanks i think "dont mention the war" is quite apt. and as the time war has been a permanent teaser ever since nu who started then we might as well see a bit of it .......
