lol. I thought it was a good episode overall. Great sets and costumes and some fairly known actors...but I thought Clara and the Doctor were actually sort of poorly acted compared to how great the actors were in the other episodes.
Spoiler:Apparently the ninth Doctor is actually the Tenth, the tenth is actually the eleventh, and the eleventh is actually the Twelth because John Hurt will be revealed as the ninth Doctor (and presumably the "Time War" Doctor that destroyed Gallifrey).
What do you all think of that?
Spoiler:9's personality was shaped by the Time War. To take that away diminishes the character, imo.
I don't see how that would be affected at all though.
Spoiler:in "Rose" where 9 looks in the mirror (seemingly for the first time since regeneration) and mentions something about his ears
Spoiler:Yeah, I always took that scene in Rose to mean he was newly regenerated. I just assumed it was McGann in the Time War.

Spoiler:What if the Hurt Doctor (sounds like The Hurt Locker) is the Time War Doctor... Like, the 8th Doctor had his adventures pre-Time War, then he regenerated at the start of it into John Hurt... Aging as the War raged on forever, then when the Time War ended and was sealed away in the Time Lock, that incarnation became sealed away with it. Now, if you go back through the Doctor's Time Line, you won't find him, just the 11 we know. He's the Missing Doctor... Zeno's Doctor, if you will, existing between 8 and 9, but never reaching one or the other.
Spoiler:The biggest issue is really what the heck fans would need to do with their references to the # order. Its iconic to refer to 10 as 10, especially. Other than that its a pretty interesting take. Couldn't they accomplish the same storyline by bringing in McCann and letting him be the Time War Doctor? McCann is very similar to John Hurt, IMO. Maybe Hurt plays an older version of McCann?
Spoiler:My source is feeling generous apparently
Rather than ruin the whole special I have some cryptic clues that are at the heart of the 50th
- 'Doctor Who?'
- what event would be so traumatic for the Doctor to want to forget a previous incarnation;
- why did the 1st Doctor run way and steal a Tardis originally? And finally
- Who was he running from?
Another bit of potential spoiler:
Spoiler:
Spoiler:Looking at the hat and top portion of the costume in the last photo, that's rather 1st Doctor-ish if you ask me.
