You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
You say "teen/tween" but my mother totally stopped watching after they replaced David Tennant. :P
Just got around to watching "The impossible planet"/ "The Satan Pit".
Not sure how I feel about it to be honest. It was a cool concept, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if they hadn't shown the monster and it was left (more) ambiguous as to what it was, like in "Midnight".

I think they might have done it already.
Spoiler:
I heard something about the doctor getting a brand new set of regenerations or something with the end of series 7, when he regenerated into the twelfth doctor. Don't quote me on that though.
I thought River Song transferring her remaining regenerations to the Doctor was meant as a way around it
Spoiler:
Man, I don't think any of that arc had much of a permanent effect. I mean, how many times dd Rory die, and the whole "you totally see the doctor die in Utah and there's absolutely no way we are going to get around it or fake you out" thing, and the "plastic people who look just like the real people and it turns out that what you think is amy is actually one of them".
Turns out Eccleston was ten -- there was another regeneration during the offscreen Time War before the revival series started (John Hurt), who shows up for a special with Tennant and Smith. And then counting Tennant's aborted regeneration to heal himself without changing, Smith was the last one. And he knew that throughout all the various "seriously you die this time" prophecies.
Smith's tenure ended with the Time Lords giving him a full set of regens. So even though we call him twelve, Capaldi is actually fourteen.
The thing with River Song wasn't a new set of regenerations -- it was a one-time heal.
