Wow it was crazy good and the attack on gallifrey by the daleks was mind blowing ( better than starwars quality )

Very happy with the show

I enjoyed it... just watched it as I was at work when it aired 'live'...

 

Some interesting moments to say the least. I actually liked how Rose was incorporated as well as the Zygons being brought back in!

 

And the bit about the 13th Doctor? Was that number taking John Hurt's character into account? He regenerated?

 

hm

Really enjoyed it, too. A lot more than any other story featuring the current Doctor. They clearly did try to make the anniversary episode a special one. (thumbs u

It's was fantastic. I saw it in 3d at the cinemas. The john hurt character is the 8th doctor from the movie. Aged in some way obvious there is a back story there. So there is not 13 but 12 now. Been watching since 70's. Tom Baker was my DR when I was a kid and it was great to see him in there as he was not in the 5 doctors story many years ago.

Good to see the Americans getting into DR who. My girl friend from the states included. :applause:

Possible explanation......with a possible spoiler.

 

 

I think the 13th Doctors comment is incorporating Perter Capaldi, the actor who takes over the role after Matt Smith.

 

If you watch the sequence at the end again - when the the camera is quickly cutting between Tardis' showing the different Doctors working at the controls - there's a close-up shot of the eyes of one the Doctors. That's Capaldi.

 

 

It would have been nice to see Sarah Jane. :(

 

Elisabeth Sladen sadly died in 2011. Though I suppose the they could have cut in some footage from one of the previous shows, like they did with some of the other deceased actors.

 

I was kind of hoping that Benton would make an appearance, but I was very happy with the cameo at the end! :applause:

 

Overall, I thought it was good and enjoyed it, but it wasn't great. But that's how I feel about most of the episodes in this new Who. It's not the show I grew up with, but I guess that's why it's gained more mainstream acceptance.

There was a webisode released, "The Night of the Doctor" which explained it:

 

 

McGann regenerates into Hurt

This. Hurt isn't the 8th Doctor, he's the 9th.
