without spoiling anything from the 50 (or season 7, for that matter), was galifrey destroyed in every period of time it had ever existed in, in the Time War (at least before the events of the 50, I don't know what happens then), so the Doctor can't just go back to before it was destroyed and say hi to all his homies
think I heard that it got sealed into a pocket universe or something

All you need to know is was time locked meaning it can be accessed at all. Gallifrey pre-Time War wasn't at all interesting, The Doctor tried to avoid it all he could as he hated it. So I doubt he'd want to go back to it now, especially with all he knows.
But I guess the Timelock stops him going back.

I used to have quite the infatuation with Georgia Tennant. My heart jumped in my mouth when I met her some years back. In a moment of panic I told her my name was "paper". It's Danny, but I had written it down for her on some paper. I gave her that instead of just telling her.

Someone misses Brian.
Something that won't really work once Capaldi becomes the Doctor but would've been great for Matt is a female companion with an older dad who assumes that Matt is young and foolish so always presumes to know more than him, usually getting him into trouble.

behind the scenes shot of the Radio Times cover shoot. Reveals that the Daleks have been redesigned, it wasn't just photo editing on the Radio Times cover. Plastic colours gone in favour for metallic finish. Looks really quite nice.
I like Osgood... but I also like Clara.... but which is better....

Didn't get much air time in the episode, but they were redone for Asylum, too.

We didn't see the blue ones though. They're rather gorgeous. Also the darker red is nice.
But the Dalek Supreme was always great, also looks better now I believe.

Hahaha, Grade knows how to be a class-A pantomime villain. I think he's great.
As if Sylvester McCoy would've regenerated into John Hurt anyway. Pfft that woman needs to learn her Who before blasting it on the national stage.

I am more than down for that
She wasn't blasting it - they're all sticking up for it.
I wonder how history would have gone if Doctor Who hadn't been cancelled.
Chances are none of us would be here talking about it because after 50 years continuous broadcast it would have descended into an extremely niche sci-fi show with a dedicated cult following. If the plug hadn't been pulled in the '80s it would have just got worse and worse, a fresh start was what it needed.

Christ. This stuff is just spilling everywhere. Could someone point me to the nearest original line in the 50th?
Not that i'm unhappy with it at all. It makes me aware of shit i'd never have known about the show.
There's new series references too that you might've missed. Some of it's obvious like The Doctor saying "spoilers". Some is less so like The Hurt Doctor mocking 10 & 11's use of the screwdriver: "What are you going to do assemble a cabinet at them?" which I believe is a line River delivered in S6.

I like how he berates them for being kids and that we're essentially told just WHY they're so childish. That it's actually the psychological trauma of what they did or thought they did that kinda sent them into a childish exile to survive the pain.
The episode went so much on about that, that i'd love to see a reverse regeneration in the christmas special. Imagine 11 getting the usual post-regen stuff and essentially becoming more "grown up" gradually, changing how he reacts to things and how he interacts with people until finally it leads him to actions that eventually bring on a regeneration that only changes his appearance, as his personality already partially adapted.
That'd be something else. Somewhat poetic and very much in sync with that theme of the 50th. There's no longer a stigma attached to the doctors name and he doesn't have to wince in shame of his own hate of his actions.
Edit:
Think of it being somewhat like Tennant postponing his regeneration. But since he's not actively fighting it and his body isn't hurt, it changes him where there's room for change: His mentality. A close variant of Hurts regeneration, but since 11 isn't as aged, his shell is kept for a time.
I think it would of been interesting to see the original Doctor Who carry on into the 90s and into the 00s. I'm willing to bet it would of gotten better as it became more appreciated within the BBC and would of had it's budget increased. I'm willing to guess that as the folks who worked on the show in the 80s left in the 90s the show would get a new lease of life with many good crew members and writers willing to take their place.
I started watching the Classic Whos, starting with Unearthly Child, and I have to say I like the slow pacing and dialogue heavy portions in it a lot. I find myself getting a bit stressed out watching the monster of the week "oh no everything is gonna die if we dont beat this bad guy! oh phew we beat him" episodes from the new series.

His mom asked us to bring him along. He's got some head problem, but he's really deadly if you jump infront of him and scream loudly. Promise!!!
I hope they just glide around town every night calling for The Doctor to come out and pla- die :v:
