...well tonight's the night that we're supposed to find out the name of the Doctor... it better not be 'Sweetie'... after all... River Song makes her return tonight methinks... if it is I will probably contemplate suicide by playing 'Celebrity Splash' on an endless loop until I pass away... (please Timey Wimey God of the Space Time Continuum... please don't let it be 'sweetie')... here's hoping... cheers.
...me too... I've been too busy today to go online so I'm looking forward to it too... hopefully it's a grand finale' for this season... cheers.

An enjoyable episode. Finally.
Loved the references Clara made to being a "souffle girl" even near the start of the episode.. The big reveal was good but I have another idea..........
What if John Hurt Doctor is in fact "The Real Doctor" as in wholly real, and the ones we've been watching were just pale imitations of the real Doctor? It can't be as bad as any of the other ideas floating around.
OH and thename was not revealed thank goodness. But now I'm still curious about that. Other Timelords have proper names but only a few took up titles.

If he is the Valeyard that would be pretty damn awesome.....
But I think he's the first original Doctor that did something very bad for peace...........He then regenerated into the first TV version of the Doctor that we see in "An Unearthly Child"......... Stole the TARDIS because Galifrey was about to fall. I think he started the time war.
...I have voiced my opinion on previous posts about Steve Moffatt's writing of Dr Who and that I don't like the way he is taking the series as of late but I do have to admit it... that episode was great... well written with a myriad of twists and turns with Clara's story explained to a certain extent... the introduction of John Hurt as an incarnation of of The Doctor etc...
...one thing that I was happy to see was that he doesn't intend to change the shape or structure of the outside of the Tardis... he showed the Tardis as it is now at the end of the Doctors life... for that I am so grateful... I know that Moffatt has changed the design of The Cybermen / inside of the Tardis etc to keep the show fresh (although changing the Daleks so much from what they were was just so wrong to me)... but to see that the Tardis is never going to change outside was a total relief...
...I have a weird feeling that we're never going to see anymore of River Song again as with Captain Jack Harkness... it seemed to me that last night's episode was Alex Kingston's swansong... (I hope that I'm wrong in this)...
...most probably John Hurt's introduction as an incarnation of The Doctor is to answer the 'crack in the space time continuum' within the past seasons storylines... I suppose that he will also be included in the 50th anniversary episode to link all of the stories together... but as I say I was quite impressed with last night's episode... credit where it is due to Steve Moffatt... (I never thought that I would ever be saying that in all honesty lol!)...
...the return of the two annoying brats from last week peed me off but thankfully they were gone within seconds... (I actually liked that The Doctor got fooled by playing 'blind-man's-bluff')... I think that Moffatt is setting up Vastra / Jenny and Strax to get their own spin-off series eventually... (although they're not as much fun as Captain Jack Harkness was as a back-up companion in my opinion)... and thank god that we didn't find out the name of The Doctor... (I really thought his name was going to be 'sweetie')...
...I thought that the opening scene was hilarious when one of the people on Gallifrey said “What kind of idiot would try to steal a faulty Tardis?” as the first Doctor was fleeing Gallifrey... it so explained how in the early years of Dr Who as to why he had no control over the Tardis as to where and when he could land... very well done that scene...
...overall though... Moffatt did a great episode... I did enjoy it... cheers.

Though not admitted by Moffat the multi coloured iDaleks were considered by most fans a huge mistake. And I think that he knows that they were a failure.. Hence why we've not seen them again.
That opening scene on snowglobe Galifrey was funny indeed, with Clara saying "not that one, this one"
I actually enjoyed the episode unlike the rest of the season which was in a word meh....
I'd love it if the John Hurt Doctor is the Valeyard

My only problem with Steven Moffat's approach is that no one really dies. Well, none of the good guys.
I'm not saying they should, not at all. But if you are going to kill a character for dramatic effect, don't undo it with magic.
There was no need for Jenny to have been dead, if Strax can come along at any time & revive her. If that is possible, can the Doctor borrow that device to go around reviving everyone he liked who died?

And check this page out. Last picture of "Journey to the centre of the TARDIS" there's a "crack" in the TARDIS. That looks like the ones from season 5..

I saw this online and thought "hmmm..."
Doesn't the TARDIS usually heal itself? It did when the Titanic crashed into it.

...I have to agree with you here about undoing a death with magic Meglos... as you say... why kill them in the first place?... I think that it is just a lazy way of writing in my opinion... to me if someones life is teetering on life or death and can swing either way... it is far more dramatic than killing them and bringing them back to life with some sort of mysterious device...
...again as you say... why not use the device to revive everybody?... no... Moffatt doesn't want that because he likes to kill off characters that are of no further use to him in his storylines.. the last thing he would want is for people to petition for the return of their favourite characters when he does it so that device probably won't ever be used again methinks... some good points there my friend... cheers....
