Doctor Who doesn't have a remotely consistent canon. The whole 50th year episode is proof of that; any attempt to reconcile it with the last seven series requires tons of fan-theorizing.

I hope that people can agree that the regeneration limit and the Time War in general are just simply retconned out for production reasons.

it depends on your reference Point! and always the Reference point is the Dr.

well when on one hand you can make any thing in time work on story wise, its always consistent canon, because you can go to any point in

time and change it.

Time Lords are called Time lords for a reason. Think of it as .

The TARDIS can go to any time, place or dimension, anything and every thing can be canon. making sense of it all is pretty, far stretching,the only reference point is the Dr. The companion's and The TARDIS.

The point is the Story is always told from the Dr.'s Perspective. it would be pretty cool to see it from the Master's Perspective for once though as a series. 

I'm only arguing against dense paragraphs of "well maybe if they use this one device from the 1985 serial, he can have 24 regenerations but still not more" kind of thing. Instead of anyone spending time on that, just understand that the writers will ignore it completely and just never mention the limit again.

By canon I mean "what is in the writer's heads as a relevant consideration when making the script". An out-of-universe canon, not in-universe as most people argue from.

I agree a time travel based series can continually retcon, but not so often as to cheapen personal investment in watching. For example if it's made clear no death is permanent; no danger is dangerous and so on then why watch at all? Doctor Who works best with emotions, and that requires the real possibility of loss.
