John Hurt's Role in the 50th

Over the past 36 hours, it seems that there has been a major leak to the public about some of the plot for the DW 50th Anniversary Special.
John Hurt, who was announced to the cast along with Billie and David may have made a boo-boo and revealed his role, which we were previously in the dark about.
The 73 year-old actor, known for many roles in big-name film, television and theatre, such as Mr. Olivander. in Harry Potter, Adam Sutler in V for Vendetta, Dr. Harold Oxley in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Control in Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy, and now the international talent says he can add the Doctor himself to the list--or at least "part of the Doctor" in a "kind of trinity," which includes David Tennant.

The possibly the most obvious "trinity" would be a past-present-and-future type thing, but the most talked about idea is a bit more complex and Moffat-esque.
Remember how we never saw Paul McGann regenerate into Christopher Eccleston? That is the key. Some are saying that Hurt's Doctor will be one in between the two.
WHAT?
Yes, you read that right. The plot deepens: this regeneration has been forgotten due to the psychological (and I won't rule out physical) trauma from The Last Great Time War
As you can see on the left, John's costume has the Victorian Gentleman elements like McGann's Doctor, as well as the Leather Emo elements of the Eccleston Doctor, making for a much easier transition, at least fashion wise, in the Doctor. Whovian Rule 134.
This would make Chris the 10th Doctor, David the 11th, and Matt the 12th, which possibly puts the Time Lord at risk for being out of regenerations  although I believe the last time that subject was brought up it was said that regenerations are unlimited now that there are no other Time Lords, and we can't forget when Melody/River gave her remaining regens to the Doctor.
What are your thoughts? Comment them.
Personally, I trust Steven Moffat to be amazing with the show.
UPDATE:
Okay, so after seeing "The Name of the Doctor", I have to say that he of course is a Doctor from the past. We don't know what he did, but we know the Doctor doesn't condone his actions. My guess, like many others, I assume, is that he is responsible for the destruction of Gallifrey. More on the season finale later, from both myself and Seth.

Clara Brain-Blast

Alright, so, while reviewing the design of the page, some synapse went off that was like "LEY," (that's my name, its pronounced Lee, like key but with an L) "LOOK AT THIS AND THINK OF THAT".

"Clara Oswin Oswald" is an anagram for "A Window Across All". That is an indisputable fact.

The Claras have personal information that is parallel to real-world info about Doctor Who (see them here), both the classic series and the reboot.

There is the idea that Clara is a living meme. Let me explain. The original definition of a meme is:
Meme (n) \ˈmēm\:  An element of a culture or behavior that may be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, esp. imitation
Comment your theory!


Clara Fun Facts

So, here is some fun information about Clara.

23 November 1963: First Episode of Doctor Who
1989: Doctor Who's first run ends
26 March 2005: First Air of the revival of Doctor Who
----
23 November 1866: Clara Oswin Oswald's birth (the Victorian one)
1989: Clara Oswald's birth (the modern one)
March 2005: Death of Clara's mother.


Now, if you want to get into the exacts....

  • 5 March 2005 was the date that "Rose" was leaked into the internet and the date that Clara's mother died.
  • 1866 was the year the First Doctor regenerated into the Second
  • The diary missed age 23: the classic series had an eighteen-month hiatus between Season 22 and 23
  • The diary also missed age 16: There were sixteen years between the end of the classic series and the revival series.
  • Clara Oswin Oswald (Victorian) died at age 26. The classic series lasted 26 years.
Is she the TARDIS or something?
Ideas?
