Maybe better than DIMENSIONS IN TIME, but I'm not sure.<br /><br />Everything was contrived, cheap, and utterly pointless. It was everything that has degraded Doctor Who into just another pedestrian television show. I can't believe there are people out there that actually don't see how they simply replaced Eccleston with John Hurt. The ENTIRE SCRIPT was Eccleston's Doctor with Ten and Eleven. That's the only way it works. But, I guess people are blinded by mindless devotion and thinking an actor last relevant in 1979 has the right to be called "Doctor" because the 9th Doctor was too busy being successful in Hollywood. So, I guess we can all start guessing who the Doctor is between Troughton and Pertwee, right? We never saw him change into the other, so there MUST be another Doctor in there. Jason Statham? Hugh Grant? You decide, because it doesn't effing matter anymore.<br /><br />This was the end of Doctor Who for me. When you waste the once-in-a-lifetime 50th anniversary spectacular on the two most recent Doctors from the last 5 years, add a total stranger in the mix because you're too lazy to write a real script, and present the entire thing like it's just another episode of the season? Welcome to the 8th anniversary of Doctor Who. My 35th year with the show, and.....until a new age dawns for it....my last.<br /><br />Goodbye Doctor Who. Thank you for 49 wonderful years. Hopefully I will see you again some day without all the silly spectacle, nonsense fluff, and ignorant sycophants ruining a once impressive franchise.

The Doctor has already discovered Gallifrey is Timelocked in that episode with The Master when the Time Lord's tried to bring Gallifrey back.<br /><br />But wow, what a way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary.

But he's nw before the 1st doctor... Which is why he can work out things through time. So if that's the case and john hurt is before the 1st doctor and he then removes the time lords from space and time how can the later doctors visit the time lords since they are no longer around. Time is moveable but the doctors incarnations is in a straight line and can't be changed so a later doctor can not visit something that has been taking out of time by a precious doctor....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-73665938934621253662013-11-25T09:42:42.891+00:002013-11-25T09:42:42.891+00:00Re comments about DT's "I don't want ...Re comments about DT's "I don't want to go", he won't remember being told by Matt's Doctor that he is going to Trenzalore. Therefore when he says those words at the EOT it really is because he doesn't want to regenerate not in reference to Trenzalore.<br /><br />Also the appearance of Tom Baker opens the door to future older Doctor's returning without the problem of age. It also potentially means the Doctor now doesn't die/get buried at Trenzalore but uses it as a cover/ red herring to retire as Curator of the under gallery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-11564799134934374132013-11-25T06:51:42.152+00:002013-11-25T06:51:42.152+00:00The only thing that disappointed me was that Rose ...The only thing that disappointed me was that Rose wasn't a real part of it. The Bad Wolf thing still puzzles me and this didn't help matters.<br /><br />Would have liked to see Eccleston in his regeneration, but they did a decent job of bridging the gap anyway. I'm VERY glad we have closure between 8 and 9 now. I'm also glad that it finally makes sense that some have said Gallefrey burned while others said it was only in a time lock. That was bugging me, but now I get it.<br /><br />I pumped the air with both fists when I saw Tom Baker!!!!! The dialog didn't make tremendous sense but I was too busy celebrating to care.<br /><br />People can dislike Clara all they want, but I really like her. I think she is a strong character, and she not only has had a hand in saving The Doctor, but now she has saved all of Gallifrey. That is good enough for me.<br /><br />Well done, everyone!

Though there were a couple of things which did disappoint me: <br /><br />1) Although it was known Eccleston wouldn't be in the episode, I was still upset when it came to 8.5's (?) regeneration and there 9 wasn't there. <br />2) What the hell happened to the storyline of The Name Of The Doctor?? The only thing mentioned about it in this episode was 'you've met them before, don't you remember?' THAT WAS IT. Nothing else! How did they get out of the Doctor's time stream?!<br />3) I was incredibly disappointed when I realised Billie wasn't going to play Rose, although she was amazing as The Bad Wolf. I was hoping for interaction with all of the Doctors and Clara. Really disappointed. <br /><br />All in all, though, I though it was amazing. Especially when Tom Baker made his fantastic cameo (at which point I SQUEALED really loudly in the cinema!).Tara Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-31965042113208897212013-11-24T15:52:45.134+00:002013-11-24T15:52:45.134+00:00Moffat did a great job of balancing humour and emo...Moffat did a great job of balancing humour and emotion, adventure and the story behind the character of The Doctor and a beautiful balance of the old and the new. <br />The use of both Tom Baker, an icon from the shows past and Peter Capaldi, the shoes future was an inspired piece of writing by Stephen. <br />I feel like there was something for everyone. <br />My only regret was that we didn't actually see Christopher Eccleston in the regeneration scene.

The Zygons' return was effectively thrown away; David Tennant looked reluctant and wary much of the time, somehow… there were some good moments – Clara's Tardis entrance, the glimpse of Capaldi… but where was all the Time War "frontline" stuff we were led to believe the Doctor had fought? Seems to me he simply found a big box which was a bomb dressed as Rose, and failed to detonate it. The removal of Gallifrey was an OTT get-out, just like dragging the Earth back from Davros Removals a few years back. And what was that tripe of a script poor old Tom Baker had to deliver?<br />Enjoyable, but underwhelming at the same time.<br />Enjoyed the Five(ish) Doctors far more.
