Or do they have to change things so that doesn't happen?
It's what the Moff does.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think somewhere in old Who, the 13th regeneration was shown?
Actually, I think somewhere in old Who they said they'd only get to an 11th regeneration, and people were wondering how Moff would write his way out of that.

Why, then, was I thinking there was foofurrah about this being the last possible? Because of Ten's half-regen, and maybe something else?
