Did you see the new Who ?

[Mego Magyar]

I don't think it a version of the Doctor that is the first or before because as palitoy states Clara saw all of his past faces. It could be that if he is the McGann Doctor once he chose to end the Time War with the Daleks the way he did ( wiping out the Time Lords and the Daleks ) he to do it as someone not the Doctor and Clara only his past as the Doctor. I think he is still technically the President and maybe he ended the Time War as the "President".


Here is what is said in the show.

(Matt Smith ) I said he was me, I never siad he was the Doctor. The name I chose was the Doctor, the name you choose is like a promise you make. He's the one who broke the promise.

(Hurt) What I did I did without choice
(Matt) I know
(Hurt continuing) in the name of peace and sanity.
(Matt) But not in the name of the Doctor.

Wow, what a magnificent idea!The Master is the Doctor gone wrong in the future. That would be a twist. But didn't they grow up together on Gallifrey?

I can't buy that. Tho Hartnell did suggest an evil version of himself, possibly a relative, that would butt heads with him frequently in the show.

Did anyone notice that the medical scanner Strax uses sound like the Tricorder from The Next Generation?

I can't find any pictures to back this up but remember a few years ago MaGann changed the way the 8th Doctor looked ?

Do those pics look anything like the Hurt Doctor ?

If they do have Hurt playing an older MaGann i'd be let down - considering MaGann would mostly likely jump at the chance to play the Doctor again.

For the promo shots accompanying a recent audio adventure, they went with a different look for McGann... shorter hair and leather coat.




But the coat John Hurt wears in the 50th anniversary episode looks a lot like Eccleston's:

Wow, it does look like Ecclestons !!!

Also this from Whona:





Here's the best I could do on screen caps of the McGann stand-in:

I just hope they dont mess with the established Dr timeline.

Have been hearing (just rumors) Moffat and the BBC are trying to get rid of MaGann as the 8th Doctor

Are you kidding? After using him on his Radio series for what, 4 years? Plus all His Big Finish Audios? Leave him alone and let him guest star in the program properly.

As much as I didn't care for the movie, yeah.... he seems official now so he should be part of things.

I'm hoping they kinda ripoff the Tennant episode where they make a new Doctor from the cut off hand and partial regeneration --- This way the Doctor's timeline will remain the same but they can sneak in an inbetween Doctor that officially wont count

There is absolutely no evidence to support that rumour, so I wouldn't give it any credence.

I agree ... she did say there was 11 Doctors (not counting Hurt)

[palitoy]

That and the fact that WE'VE SEEN MCGANN TWICE THIS SEASON suggests it's bullocks.

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

Yawn. I liked Smith at first, but he's not growing on me. I find his Doctor a little too loopy-goofy. I miss the intensity of the other Doctors. No disrespect to Smith, but I'm ready for a new Doctor. Maybe a new show runner, too. Time to shake it up a bit.

[Mikey]

I'm the opposite

I didn't care for Smith from the start but he's been growing on me.

As much as I *** and moan about the new series it's usually about the writing and direction, not Smith

He's refreshing in a Tom Baker way after an annoyingly tortured Tennant Doctor
