I wandered over from reynardo's journal. Aren't mem's great? :P
Anyway, re: regeneration rejection and death... Waaaaaaaay back in the old series there was an episode during the ... hmm... Sixth Doctor, I think it was Twin Dilema episode. He encounters another Time Lord who is at the end of his regenerations who, at the end of the episode dies instead of regenerating. I assume the character wanted it that way, but it didn't seem as if he had much of a choice. "I'm at the end of my regenerations..." and the he died.
i haven't seen the ep. yet, this one with the Master and Jack, but I've been waiting patiently and lo! it cometh.
I don't know if the Books are considered Canon. I've seen a number of places say they are not, but who am I to say? I just thought I'd add my two pence since I've been running through the old episodes.
