What about random old guy that shows up in The Impossible Astronaut? Have we heard back from him yet?
That was Canton Delaware!
Yeah...I still think his death isn't going to turn out as a fixed point.

It is definitely a fixed point.
cf Let's Kill Hitler
Assuming we trust the Time-Travelling Police Circus =P
But I see no reason not to, they wrote that line in for a specific reason.

Please remain calm while your life is terminated.
I prefer, "Do not be alarmed. This is a kindness."
Red herring. Definitely a red herring. Or possibly a blue sturgeon.

I thought it was somewhat weird that they used the same "empathetic robot" motif in two of three episodes, first those jellyfish things then the hand things.

Damn it, I don't want to accept it!
Surely, if anyone is going to refuse to go gentle into that good night...

He's a Timelord. We know when he's going to die (hardly a spoiler) but it could take him another 600 seasons to get to that date.
Except currently he's slated to die in his current incarnation. Unless for whatever reason they make him regenerate back to Matt Smith to die, he either escapes his death or the 11th Doctor is the last one.
Why?
He might go through time repeatedly for another 4 seasons. He never has to go to the date at which he dies, not yet anyway. So he might spend the next 4 years travelling to find an answer and find a way to stop it happening.

The Master has regenerated more than 11 times, mind you. I don't think they'll let DW die totally - BBC will probably think of something.

The year he died, 2011, is not what's important, it's his age when he died, 1103, which is about 200 years older than he is right now.

However in Trial of a Time Lord:
We are introduced to
The Valeyard
who is described as "The Doctor, somewhere between the twelfth and final incarnations" so there must be
at least
another 2 Doctors or he couldn't exist.
Did not know that. Of course, I've not seen any Doctor Who from the before times. >.>

So we have, in theory, 199 seasons left :)

All of them with a Matt Smith who doesn't age. :P

What I'm getting at is that there is no need to panic about it ending any time soon

Mind you thinking about it, there was a couple of episodes of the Sarah Jane Smith adventures that the Doctor was in and in them he claimed he could regenerate.... *has to google this number*.....
