Loved how proud and content 11 was at the end.
The first face his face saw. The man who forgets, promised to remember. The man who looks forward, remembering to look back.
It all felt very full circle. The Doctor is the most whole he has been in the modern era.
Been watching my Key To Time box set as of late, three episodes in and they are all absolutely brilliant episodes. Still remains to be seen if the rest are going on my list of good Doctor Who episodes but I have high hopes.
I just realized something, in this video people were saying how the 2 kids at the start is Rose and Mickey, and Clara's Mom was talking to Rose's Mom.

Then it came to me, they also live in the same apartment complex like people said, I just never pieced them together before.
I wonder how River Song and Capaldi will interact

Back to Earth style episode ahoy.
Oh, 12/River - I doubt Moffat can resist. See you next year, Alex.
[QUOTE=Indyclone77;43329302]I wonder how River Song and Capaldi will interact[/QUOTE]
River's Dead is she not? I mean if they were to interact then it would be from an earlier timeline than the River from Silence in the Library
She was dead in Name of The Doctor.
Like that's gonna stop Moffat.
Didn't River at one point mention she's seen (and I quote, from memory) all [b]12[/b] of his faces?
I doubt she meant Meta-Crisis Ten too because well, alternate universe crap plus it's still Ten's face

Coincidence, but they do look alike and the apartment thing is BBC having like three sets and locations.

Besides, it makes more sense (assuming it IS the same place) that Clara moved there either after Rose was travelling with the Doctor or a few years before, since it's only her who lives there - her family travelled over to hers for Christmas, and it would make more sense for her to move out of the home she originally lived in than for her dad to move out and leave her the property.
I shed a single man tear when 11 said [sp]I will always remember when the Doctor was me.[/sp]
I'm lying, I sobbed like a baby.
I'm trying to think of a word to describe the look on 11's face here

It feels like he's got a look on his face long the lines of "Oh, just wait, this next bit will be so cool but oh my god no please but really it's cool watch"
I just bought a Sonic and paid for 2 day shipping. I actually can't wait and don't regret it.

I've been wanting to buy an RTD-era Gold Dalek for a while, and now that I'm strapped with cash - but the only ones I can find are either humongous 5" or miniscule.
3.75" is all I ask for :(
I ordered an 11 sonic today, really want to get the War doctor's

Heh, I have one of the massive remote control ones from christmas 2005 :v:
Well, for that episode it was a mixed bag. There were a lot of "look look aren't i clever" Moffat bits that are usually the worst parts., and the Dalek-converts are so stupid that I never wanted to ever see them mentioned again (the remembering that they're dead thing is a good idea, just wasted on the exact principle they had. perhaps if there was a blink-style episode using the idea on a different monster/concept it could be quite good). However, the emotional stuff was absolutely fantastic, and just got better and better as the episode progressed.
I think we need more low-key stuff, not "doctor saves the universe" thing every episode or two. And I'm really sick of Moffat's idea of dramatic being explosions everywhere and whatnot. And just a bit less "I AM THE DOCTOR I'VE DONE ALL THIS STUFF I AM IMPRESSIVE" things. It's run its course a bit. I remain optimistic for Capaldi but I want a new showrunner before Capaldi leaves. I really wanted to see Matt Smith with a different showrunner.
I'm hoping that a style shift will address the problems I have with Moffat's writing. We'll wait and see.
The only thing that concerns me about the upcoming Capaldi series is the Doctor-companion dynamic
I REALLY enjoyed the young-Doctor having a very close relationship/friendship with his similarly-young-companions, and I don't know how well that's going to work out with a much older Doctor
Also I really don't want Clara's companionship to end on a shitty note because I love Clara

We need more character-development focused introspective 2 parters. I miss episodes like Family of Blood and Silence in the Library.
[QUOTE=nightlord;43327703]I didn't like this Doctor because of it. He was just far too silly and was hardly ever serious. I really hope Capaldi is different, but considering the general direction of the show now i am not expecting much.
It seems everything has to be some sort of "Everybody lives!" now. That's one of the reasons i hate how they 'retconned' the ending to the Time War. The Time War and what the Doctor was forced to do were meant to be one of his darkest moments. He hated himself for what he had done, but he knew he had no choice. I prefered it much more when he was the Last Timelord, the only real survivor of the Time War, it made him feel a bit more mysterious and darker.
Moffat changing it so that never happened just makes it worse to me. Several times the Doctor has said he remembers doing it and watched it happen, when he didn't really. The Doctor forgetting what he did just makes it feel like it was a way for Moffat to just shove in a happy ending to the Time war to make it so the Doctor hasn't done anything that bad. We've seen he is capable of doing some pretty terrible things, such as what he did to the Family of Blood, so why did the Time War need to be changed? It should of stayed a mysterious thing that gets mentioned occasional but we never really see the things the Doctor was forced to do.
I really want the show to be more serious. I don't like all these non-serious happy ending episodes. There needs to be far more dark and mysterious moments, like if you compare the 'dark' things in this video from Matt to the previous Doctors they are nowhere near the same:
[/QUOTE]
I totally agree. Eleven's been generally pretty upbeat about everything even during his 'dark' moments. When my brother and I were watching the special in the cinema, we were getting pretty excited about actually seeing him end the time war. It was getting very dark and sad in the leadup to it and just as Hurt was going to end it all we're going "Holy shit he's actually going to do it, this is heartbreaking"... But then we just get some whimsical happy lighthearted nonsense where all the lovely Doctors come together and end things 'peacefully', and it felt like an absolute cop out. We were SO hoping to finally see the one biggest darkest most horrible thing the Doctor has ever had to do, and to actually see how strongly it affected him and changed him, but instead we got the most stereotypical semi-happy ending possible.
I didn't hate it, I just really wanted to see it happen as we've been told it did so many times now. I wanted to SEE that despair and failure and rage that he would feel when he finally hit that button and burned everything. What a shame we didn't get to finally witness that.

"Capaldi is too old. Why can't we have more McGann?"
McGann is 54!

I sort of understand where everyone is coming from, but I still really love Gold's compositions. Series six has so far been my least favourite in terms of material, but some standouts are definitely the music that plays during Capaldi's entrance and the new regeneration cycle music. They both fit so well, and even though the new regen music sampled the introduction from another piece doesn't make it bad. That's like saying Andrew Lloyd Webber reusing a motif in a musical is tacky; it's not. Just expanding on the theme for a different melody to be played to tell the same story in a different way. That's how I feel, anyway.
I loved the snap regeneration into Capaldi. Matt's last words were poignant, dignified, and having him go screaming would have made it lose all of its impact. Plus, he'd been dying for quite some time. Just blam, it was great.
Every use of This is Gallifrey was fantastic, in the series finale and this.
I do love Murray Gold.
Also, the Silent gaining a Dalek eye-stalk was fucking horrifying. That made me feel like a kid discovering Daleks for the first time.
[B]The Time of The Doctor - A Shorter Version: by Grizz[/B]
The Doctor and Clara discover the crack in time. The Doctor learns that the Time Lords are asking whether it is safe to come through. The truth field means that [B]he cannot lie.[/B] He tells them it isn't safe to come through, and asks for a new set of regenerations in return for saving them all.
[B]The End.[/B]
My scripts would be short - but would save The Doctor some time.
I'm unsure if anything can beat Dan's script for episode three, Grizz.
