[Doctor Who] (SPOILERS!!!)

Does this mean we are going to have to reorder the Doctors now that they even called Hurt the "Doctor"? Are there now, actually, 13?

Hurt never called himself the Doctor, even at the end. He had done many bad things during the Time War and just because he didn't go full genocide after all doesn't mean he deserved the name of The Doctor.

In fact he pretty much regenerated because he was ready to become the Doctor again.


To break the 4th wall, here's the official explanation from Moffat:
>"I’ve been really, really quite careful about the numbering of the Doctors. He’s very specific, the John Hurt Doctor, that he doesn’t take the name of the Doctor. He doesn’t call himself that. He’s the same Time Lord, the same being as the Doctors either side of him, but he’s the one who says, ‘I’m not the Doctor.’ So the Eleventh Doctor is still the Eleventh Doctor, the Tenth Doctor is still the Tenth…Technically, if you really counted it, the David Tennant Doctor is two Doctors, on account of the Meta-Crisis Doctor [in Journey's End]… It’s not a matter of counting the regenerations, but of counting the faces of the Time Lord that calls himself the Doctor. There’s an anomaly Doctor slotted in somewhere, that’s all. In the script to The Day of the Doctor, Matt’s Doctor was called the Eleventh, and David’s was called the Tenth, so the numbering stays exactly the same – and we call Peter Capaldi the Twelfth Doctor."
