It's WAY heavier looking back at some quotes from earlier in 11's run now.
• The Eighth Doctor was trying to carry on just being The Doctor during the Time War before he regenerated.
• Eight Regenerated into The War Doctor.
• The Eighth Doctor’s audio companions are canon.
• The Doctor can potentially control his regenerations more than he could prior to Eight after taking the Elixer of Life made from the Sisterhood of Karn's Sacred Flame. This might also explain how he can regenerate more than 12 times, why all his post-eight regenerations are always using glowy energy when they occur, and may also come into play in Twelve's appearance - since they've mentioned that they're addressing why he'll look like Peter Capaldi's other Doctor Who characters).
• Becoming the War Doctor was a choice, and something that started his motivation through a full regeneration.
• The War Doctor looked young when he began, which suggests there are some utterly HELLISH things that happened to him during the time war.
