Am I the only one that wants to see Jack Harkness return?
I sincerely hope you are!

Moffat loves a deus ex machina doesn't he?
I hate Moffat.
Why couldn't they just be killed off?
But to be fair, Tolkien did exactly that wit the Dead Men of Dunharrow... write yourself into a corner and you have to 'wing it'. The more I think of it, the more awful I realise this whole 'Time of the Doctor' became! Are people really that much in denial?
But Hurt isn't considered a 'Doctor'...11 even says that in the Christmas ep. So Capaldi is the 13th regeneration, but the 12th 'Doctor'. And I don't remember 14 coming up at all in the Christmas ep?
Hurt's not a "real" Doctor and neither is the meta crisis Tennant. In the Christmas special, they even made reference to eleven and twelve in the little poem. Whatever theories fans might want to put forward, it's obvious that the BBC and Moffat consider Capaldi the 12th.
People are just over thinking the numbering thing. Capaldi is the 12th Doctor. Hurt is the War Doctor. The Meta-Crisis Regeneration is still the 10th Doctor.
The Doctor said:Are we forgetting Captain Grumpy? Huh? I didn't call myself The Doctor during the Time War but it was still a regeneration
Number Ten once regenerated and kept the same face - I had vanity issues at the time. Twelve Regenerations Clara, I can't ever do it again.
Steven Moffat said:“However, there is no such character and never has been as the Eleventh Doctor. He’s just the Doctor, that’s what he calls himself. The numbering doesn’t matter."
I sincerely hope you are!
The numbering isn't important. The Doctor only ever introduces himself as the Doctor. For merchandising purposes Matt Smith is and always will be the 11th Doctor. Capaldi is the 12th.
John Hurt is the Ninth incarnation. But he is the War Doctor. That is his official designation. Capaldi will not be merchandised as 2.1 or the 14th Doctor. He is the 12th.

Soon Capaldi will be added as The 12th Doctor".
Anything else is your own personal fan canon, which is ok, but call it what it is.

....Meh. Just ignore me and move on, they'll be plenty to pick apart in our loooong wait until Fall.
His 1st incarnation (Hartnell) grew old and died due to old age, its just since then the Doctor's been killed after being in that body for only a relatively short time. The exception's being #8, he aged around 25 years before his regeneration and War who seems to have aged around 40 years.

Also the more I think about it, Moffat refers to Capaldi at least twice as Twelve in Time of the Doctor. Once in the nursery rhyme and again as he is regenerating atop the bell tower the clock strikes twelve.
I want the Master back. Can't believe Matt Smith never faced him!
The Master cannot be a villain of the week.
