Well, that might just be my favourite response out of all of them! :)

My pleasure, that makes me very happy. Any particular reason, or just the fact that 'mere death' seems too simple?

This is Moffat. She deserves all the good things, and she'll get them. :)

The stuff about forgetfulness reminds me of Peter Pan:

He often went out alone, and when he came back you were never absolutely certain whether he had had an adventure or not. He might have forgotten it so completely that he said nothing about it; and then when you went out you found the body; and, on the other hand, he might say a great deal about it, and yet you could not find the body.

Oooh, very nice. It's been years and years since I read Peter Pan...

But the Doctor certainly has the same sort of qualities, and lives by the same rules/in the same kind of world.

"Last season was all about the Doctor dealing with his regeneration - a whole season dedicated to something usually dealt with in a single episode."

Does the way the Doctor "die" before he regenerates effects how he recuperates?.

Ten was in bed for most of his first episode.

Eleven was "up and go!.

Twelve was partially incoherent.

Hmmmm. Possibly. Partly I think it's story-led, but on the whole his regeneration never goes smoothly. :)

I think it took longer for Ten to get out of bed because he was physically worn out when Nine took the power of the vortex back from Rose. When Rose was crying that the Doctor was gone, I thought: "Give the man a break, he just died from saving you, from saving him!".

But yeah mainly plot purposes is the most likely reason.:)
