So I didn't start watching until college and I actually don't know why I love the New Doctor Who so much. I've thus far failed to explain to anyone I've introduced it to but almost every time I watch an episode, there's just this sense immense gratification and relief that I won't be and actually was/am not alone in my best and worst dreams....

I dunno. The Master chose to die although some later technicalities made it so he didn't die and what not. But if the Doctor is the last one, then it must be possible.

I think their fears do tie into their age, though it's true in any relationship I suppose.

Water... I suppose Ninth Doctor did talk about burning a lot, like Dalek homeworld, and said he was the Oncoming Storm. Saw flash of Tenth amidst flames.

Warning potential spoliers for old who abound ;)

Time lords have 12 regenerations (although the Time lords can grant a new cycle so there must be some sort of limiter in place) but can only regenerate within certain boundaries (as I understand it) i.e the first doctor regenerated because to be blunt he was old, roughly 100/200 years and so is the only "natural" regeneration that occurred in the programme with regards to the doctor (Romana a timelady controls her own regeneration and it's very different). At the time it was called "renewal" not regeneration and BBC people used to make this quite explicit in interviews
