Yes. That's awesome. Hope they don't fuck that up.
Like they did with this sprawling mess.

So many particulars. So many questions.

some good master/missy quippery.
enjoyed overall even if the melodrama cow was milked a bit (again) but its still worth it.

David Bradley; the guy who played William Hartnell in An Adventure in Time and Space, playing The Doctor as played by William Hartnell. Apparently the Christmas special will be Capaldi's perspective of the Day of the Doctor saving Gallifrey shenanigans.
As for the episode I'll put it in the not shit category. It went downhill after the explosion. I didn't realise that was the end of the main plot until the credits came up. Each episode of the series seemed to have added an element to the story. A plausible reason for Bill keeping her personality as well. Serious fan service keeping other Cyber origin stories canon and settling fan arguments with the parallel development stuff. Enjoyed it overall.

Some day - and that day is soon - all of human experience will be judged this way.

Loved it, haven't felt this sad about a doctor leaving since Pertwee, I'll probably say more about the episode later but for now my heart hurts.

I reckon the latter, but that's just pure speculation.

Yes, given that the original doc must have had some kind of unambiguous death circa 1966 or whatever. So this was just some kind of side trip for him.

He met the next two Doctors (as himself), and then the next four Doctors (played by someone else).
When I saw how well Bradley played the First, I hoped they'd do this. But I'm a little alarmed it's being done by Moffat. I hope he does it like part one of this Toby* rather than part two.
(*my daughter calls two-parters "Tobys", short for Toby Continued).

So many particulars. So many questions.
if that truly is the exit of Bill then it was quite good I thought. Better than Clara's exit for one and miles better than Amy Pond or Peris' ends.

The First Doctor regenerated at the end of The Tenth Planet, the first Cybermen story, which was set at the South Pole with the Doctor regenerating on the floor of the Tardis.
The snowy landscapes at the start and end of this double episode tie in with that.

I remember the 4 docs thing - something to do with rassillon? - but hadn't remembered that I remembered the 3 docs prog (but now do
).It was Clara's exit.

I might not be quite right on the maths here - not sure where/where John Hurt fits in - but was Capaldi the last of the regenerations? Does the appearance of the original doc allow them to somehow start the clock again? Essentially, you've got 2 doctors about to cark it in the snow.

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...

Technically 5. But Tom Baker is hardly in it.

I think he refused to be in the five doctors so they reused footage from the unfinished Shada story (written by Douglas Adams).

so, best/worst of the season?
I'm still quite taken with the frozen thames one as a belter because of everything about it. Weakest for me was the one with the Romans. Its not that it was bad overall I just...well it wasn't all that. maybe just OK rather than crap
mention in dispatches for the Ice Warriors tho, that was a solid ep
The monks stuff was perhaps the weakest of it all. Comedy pope ffs.

Powerful 7 minute double post!

Agree, best for me was Thin Ice and worst was the unnecessary three parter with the monks.

Yeah, five including the First. (So to him it was four others).I remember the 4 docs thing - something to do with rassillon? - but hadn't remembered that I remembered the 3 docs prog (but now do
