I think there's a great missed opportunity here. If they'd had John Hurt's Doctor playing off against Derek Jacobi's Master. Obviously there'd have been less running around action stuff, but with a good story it could have been fantastic.
Given that they've got the set, I do think it would be nice if Peter Capaldi's TARDIS had the 'round things' and the original console.

After watching Day of the Doctor I'd also recommend The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot.
(If the BBC page is region locked, I'm sure there are copies floating around the interwebs by now) Written and directed by Peter Davison, it's a self-depreciatory romp where Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy try to sneak on board the 50th anniversary special. Great fun. |

could someone please explain to me how the 13th doctor being there makes sense.
I can understand the 12 but i don't get how 13 should be there. it's great that he shows up but it was the 12th that conceived the idea. good episode but, it would have been amazing if Christopher Eccleston had been there. Trying to make sense of it now. With John Hurt that makes Peter Capaldi 13th right? 8: Paul McGann 9: John Hurt 10: Christopher Eccleston (My fav) 11: David Tennant 12: Matt Smith 13: Peter Capaldi

What an interesting episode. Besides some uninteresting stylistic twists (all the whooshing sounds during cuts, and the many unneeded close-up and other stylistic touches), this was a very fun episode and a nice set-up to the end of the 12th.
-I truly loved the interactions between the three Doctors. There was a profound quality to their similarities and vast differences that created a truly interesting dynamic on screen. -Clara was quite good in this episode. She may or may not remember her role in the Doctors lives, but her character has definitely become a trusted influence that can actively watch over the Doctor and help him through his problems. And it is her interpretation of the Doctors that helps create a solution to the overarching problem faced by the new 9th. -The overall monster-of-the-week aspect of the episode was ridiculous amounts of fun. -Constant joyous nerdgasm overload of Doctor Who references and allusions. While many questions remain, and I am unsure if this is the "Day of the Doctor" I wanted or not, the feelings of elation and excitement post-episode are quite great, and I am more than happy to find out just what happens next. 90/100.

(Personally, I'm surprised the show didn't go for broke and introduce a hundred or more Doctors. We could have all races, colors, genders, sexes and creeds emphasized in one gigantic moment of awesome.) The real question is how all the previous Doctors knew to come to Galifrey in order to work their magic. Presumably the Moment made it happen, but it is unclear for now. It could have something to do with the appearance of Tom Baker as a potential Doctor outside of Time. Last edited by james0246; 2013-11-24 at 12:44. |

My guess is the Capaldi Doctor is going to set the final calculation so he can find Gallifrey.
Or he found it and now wants to send it even farther away and is making sure it remains lost after he finds it sometime in the 8th series (2014).

There is alsoa rumor going around that Capaldi is not the 13th incarnation, but the 14th/1st of a new cycle.
This is if one counts the 10th's regeneration in the 4th series finale as a regeneration...even if he didn't change his form due to having a way out. I don't mean the Meta-crisis Doctor....he's a side effect. I mean the Doctor regenerates, but manages to stop himself from changing his appearance. That would make Davif Tennant's Doctor the 11th and 12th Incarnations (from 9th Doctor to Stolen Earth would be the 11th and from Journey's End until the 11th Doctor would be th 12th). It is a theory, and we are just waiting to see how Moffet's mind is working on that angle when Christmas comes. He did say check your DVDs again, as we missed something.

Nice set of specials and episodes. Aside from Eccleston, everyone seemed keen on getting involved in some way. Even then, him name is still in the credits, as he's still the Doctor.
Now onto Christmas...and beyond to Gallifrey.
