As we reported earlier this week, the time-traveling, world-saving rapscallion at the center of the Doctor Who universe can now—thanks to a startling retcon—regenerate as many times as he damned well pleases. Which is a horrendous idea.

What was only a teaser last week has suddenly become fact. Doctor Who's regeneration limit of 12, long a part of the Time Lord's canon, is going away. And strangely, it won't be treated as a big deal either, as the whole matter will be resolved in a simple passing comment.

Just a few days ago, we heard a rumour that Doctor Who might be heading to the U.S. for the first time ever to film an episode from next year's series six. Today, we learned not only that the rumors were true, but also the location of the filming, the storyline and which character is set to make a return!

For a moment there we seemed to have evidence that an upcoming episode of Doctor Who would be filmed in the U.S.—and then, almost immediately, that evidence disappeared. Was it just a rumor? Or was there a kernel of truth to it all that some don't want us to know?
