Day of the Doctor - talk (spoilers)

[Mego Magyar]

Never noticed this until now, look at the wall behind Tom.

I pick up on that right away when I watch the show, nice touch.

A friend and I saw this at the movies tonight. What a fantastic experience seeing this with a large group of fans laughing and clapping all at the same time.

I am going to miss Matt Smith as the Doctor. I find that he, above all, has been able to play hundreds of years old and weight of the world superbly.

On another note, Have they ever explained how sometimes they imply that hundreds of years have passed between series and, yet, Matt or David look the same, but John Hurt as seen in Night of the Doctor looks young and is aged by the time we get to the end of the war?

I assume that since The Doctor travels in time, we only see a part of his adventures. It was said in DotD that 400 years passed for #s 9, 10, & 11 since The Hurt Doctor ended the time war. That includes not only the stories & companions we know, but many others unseen. Could have been centuries until #9 met Rose?
I also think just the rigors of fighting in the War aged Hurt, including many time related injuries?

Also Moffat teases no more re-generations. After seeing how he got around the Gallifrey conundrum he's got something up his sleeve:

>The 35 Greatest Easter Eggs From The “Doctor Who” 50th Anniversary

Neat! But they missed one though! They missed the line from Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, when she asked for the secret file and said it was from the 70's or 80's depending on which system you used.... That's a refrence to the old series UNIT stories, and the irreconcilability of when they take place. So.... in "Pyramids of Mars" Sarah Jane refrences her home time as 1980, but "Mawdryn Undead" has the Brig retire in 1977.... even though he was active during Sarah Jane's time.

Hee heee.... I knew something the internets didn't! Should I be proud, or scared?

There are a few missed I'm sure.

For instance:

We hear Clara quoting Marcus Aurelius but the words "a good man" were heard in a previos story title When a Good Man Goes to War and this story gives us our best look at the Doctor in the Time War yet.

Wasn't the Time/Space telegraph originally how the Brig. contacted the Doctor in Terror of The Zygons?

Clara snaps her fingers and the Tardis closes its doors. A reference to Silence in the Library where River tells the Doctor that he would snap his fingers and the doors would open. He does so at the story's end.

The moment adds a "big red button" to it's interface. A reference to the Doctor's observation of the Sycoracx's device in the first X-Mas special? "When I see a big red button I'm not supposed to push I just want to push it!?"

Also some missed opportunities:

Capt. Jack could've been present in this story. They had his time vortex manipulator. They could've had Jack there. As part of an on-running gag imagine Jack being confronted with a Zygon impersonating him. Then get to the part where he wouldn't know which was really him. Jack & the Zygon would probably go off for a bit alone together.

Freezing Gallifrey in a another universe was great. They could've just moved it like all the planets the Daleks stole in The Stolen Earth. That was an already established method of moving a whole planet.

Where was Dalek Caan in the fall of Arcadia? He kept saying to Davros "No More" in Journey's End. There's nothing saying he didn't see the writing on the wall and realized the meaning later but an appearance would've been nice.

We may have an answer as to how Davros was rescued despite the Time Lock. It could have something to do with this painting and how it was made.

I missed several of the Easter Eggs. It'll be fun to rewatch the episode now!

Ohhhhh, page 2, first item on this list. I didn't think of that. Not just the scarf but...

Just watched Day of the Doctor for the third time already - am I a nut ?

[jwyblejr]

Have to give them credit for being able to sneak in everything they did. In this day and age,not an easy thing to do.

You might be a nut but it's not because you've watched DoD 3 time, that seem perfectly normal to me.

I watched it 5x's now. I keep saying I'm only going to watch a few parts but I just let it suck me in...can't...resist...

I've been thinking about Sylvester McCoy not being in it. I'm wondering if maybe he was too busy doing the three Hobbit movies not to be in it?

Peter Jackson's not too happy, McCoy apparently snuck away from New Zealand to try and get an appearance on the 50th special.
