Ace Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Only one small nitpick no romana on gallifrey? very touching, esp the ending. Romana was removed from power as President. Remember that Rassilon was supposedly Prez when Gallifrey fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 likewise from a continuity level, the Timothy Dalton stuff has to fit, but my guess is that he didn't take everyone but instead a number of nobles who were on his side and maybe even Romama as a prisoner?

Ligerbusa Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 "All 12 of them are here now. No! Wait! 13!" My "OH SHIT!" moment. What a great day. I watched An Adventure In Space And Time earlier which was great and had me tearing up. And Space channel in Canada has been showing specials all day and will continue until tomorrow night. And THIS. Can't wait to see it in 3D on Monday, the showing is sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 A great episode. A lot doesn't make sense to me, but that's kind of Doctor Who for you. - Christopher Ecclestone, you're a dick for not coming back for this episode for the regeneration cameo. I refuse to believe they didn't ask you. - Also, you've made that choice more than once Doctor. - OK, I can kind of see how doing a great big wibbly wobbly timey wimey switch on Gallifrey would be something the Doctor wouldn't remember and this event doesn't permanently muck things up. However, here is the problem. Aren't the Time Lords like dicks now and all that? Didn't they essentially start the Time War? So if they restore Gallifrey, that's a problem that needs to be addressed. The other big implication: - Are they pulling the wool over eyes and Capaldi really is 13? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew POE! Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 A great episode. A lot doesn't make sense to me, but that's kind of Doctor Who for you. The other big implication: - Are they pulling the wool over eyes and Capaldi really is 13? I somewhat think this: The Great Intelligence/Silence has still not been defeated, judging by the Christmas special teaser. I suspect that Capaldi will be a Future Doctor (going by his cameo in today's special), but he's going to be a "Big Reboot" Doctor. He won't have memories of the Time War, the Daleks, Cybermen, or the Great Intelligence. The 12th Doctor will sacrifice his own timestream (and himself) to stop the Silence once and for all. Capaldi's Doctor will be him (more or less) in Gallifrey and will begin with him stealing a Tardis. Clara will fit into this somehow and say she's is the "Doctor's daughter" when asked and the whole time Capaldi's Doctor will feel like he should know more about her but doesn't.

TheVileOne Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Remember the pictures of the classic Doctors protesting? Now we get to see the reason for that. Peter Davison wrote and directed a short starring almost EVERYBODY. Behold: The Five-ish Doctors Reboot! Oh my god that was fucking hilarious. So many great lines in this, I was on the floor for some of them. I especially liked this exchange between McCoy and Colin Baker as they are watching Paul McGann reading a script: McCoy: "Probably for TV. I mean, who wants to do TV? It's not like its a motion picture." Baker: "Oh shut up." McCoy's shameless promotion and name dropping of The Hobbit was also hilarious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew POE! Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 If there was a Curb Your Enthusiasm like show with Peter Davison, Colin Baker & Sylvester McCoy, I would so watch it. Ricky Gervais would need to do it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 50th Anniversary episode: Really liked last night’s 50th Anniversary special for the interaction between the three Doctors, seeing David Tennant’s return as the Tenth Doctor, Peter Capaldi’s brief first appearance as The Doctor was probably my favourite thing and Tom Baker’s involvement. Remember the pictures of the classic Doctors protesting? Now we get to see the reason for that. Peter Davison wrote and directed a short starring almost EVERYBODY. Behold: The Five-ish Doctors Reboot! I’d also like to recommend The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot written and directed by Peter Davidson. Well worth seeing and so funny. Hope it gets a DVD release. I'll like your post about it, TheVileOne when I have them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 One of my favourite things about The Day of the Doctor I forgot to mention was David Tennant's last line, "I don't want to go". Nice reference that to his last line before regenerating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidas Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Was awesome to see Dr Who on the big screen. They didn't do much with 3D apart from the paintings and the Daleks attacking Galiffrey. First time I've ever been to a movie where the audience applauded at the end. Roll on Christmas special! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Territorial Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Thought it was a solid ep. Didn't love it as much as some. I was expecting John Hurt's Doctor to be.... different. More of an antagonist, I guess. The "He's the Doctor we don't talk about" stuff is sort of ridiculous, considering how many times the Doctor has made/contemplated the same sort of choices. The Doctor has come a hair's breath from having to wipe out numerous other races in the name of the greater good. Saving Gallifrey as they seemingly did still entails wiping out the daleks. Guess he doesn't feel as bad about that. Also, in the last Tennant special (End of Time), wasn't he basically desperate to keep the Time Lords from returning? Also watched "Runaway Bride". Boo the haters. Probably my favorite ep of the first couple seasons. From what I can remember of it, I really liked the Catherine Tate season, so there's a decent chance Season 4 will be my favorite season when I finish rewatching them. Tennant and Tate seem to have a lot of natural chemistry, and I wish they'd cast companions more along Tate's line and get away from the "20-something model with a crush on the Doctor" casting, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 It was less about all the Time Lords returning as it was Rassilon and the High Council wiping everyone out to elevate them to a different state of conciousness. Rassilon was willing to sacrifice allthe people on Gallifrey so a privileged few could do something that may or may not have worked James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
