The doctor may be the 11th, but David Tennant used 2 and this John Hurt will make it so 12 regenerations were used. This means the DR used all his lives. In the impossible astronaut how did he start to regenerate?...

No. He used a full regeneration as his hand was cut off, he had enough left energy to get a new hand.
It all depends on what the Regeneration Limit consists/consisted of.
If the Limit is the actual amount of Energy a Timelord has then the Doctor still used up a Regenerations worth of Energy in creating the Handy Doctor.
Nobody but the Time Lords themselves know how regeneration works enough to be able to say what counts as a 'real' regeneration. Is a regeneration defined by the quantity of energy released? Or by the proportional of bodily cells re-created? Or by the complete creation of a new DNA template?
'Doctor' - the word for Healer & wise man throughout the universe. We kept that word from you, you know. But if you carry on the way you are, what may that word come to mean. To the people of the Gamma Forest, it means 'Mighty Warrior'...........etc
Note - We Kept That Word From You? - Who's 'We'? What word? 'Doctor'?
Maybe River knows something she's not fully explained - spoilers! And she's still linked to Clara.
I like your forum name.
No need to concern yourself.... the 2005+ series remains non-canon to the original 1963-89 series, let alone the 1996 movie, and with Christopher Ecclestone as #1 (or#2), David Tennant as #2/#3 and Matt Smith as #3/#4, John Hurt will either be #1 or #12 ..... but more than likely #1. In the scheme of things, when Matt Smith decides to leave the show, his successor will be (more than likely not) a Tweenager - this did not work for the role of Q in James Bond 'Skyfall", and will not work for Doctor Who.
Well given the fact The Time Lords can grant more if they wish to I'd say it was imposed by them and even if it was biological they can learned how to give more out so probably did that during The Time War.
The part that I put in bold is simply incorrect. As they have shown many times, it is the same series (the two hiatuses notwithstanding).
Where did you get that idea from , The Beano ? of course it canon they are all the same Doctor as has been referrenced on numerous occasions.
Actually, these don't count, both RTD and Moffat used this to get around, something about the first 12 or 16 Hours into a Regeneration, the body has excess energy to dispense, that's how The Doctor grew his hand back and how River survived taking a few machine gun rounds in LKH.
Inducing the last episode where Clara met all 11 Doctors using footage from the classic series
Also, in the episode "The Next Doctor", we are treated to the (all at that time) ten faces of The Doctor (thus establishing long term continuity).
Not only is it the same series - and that gets more amusing the more you repeat it, by the way - but the actor who played Q in Skyfall is in his thirties, and two years older than Matt Smith.
