I just finished watching all the episodes with the ninth doctor on Netflix. Looking forward to more tomorrow.
Ah, yes. Favourite doctor will always be nine, but closely followed by ten. [I've got a bit of a crush on Tennant, but who doesn't.] I've only watched a couple of the originals, mum swears by them but I haven't seen 'em all yet. Planning on it.
I liked it very much. I wouldn't watch it a hundred times over and I'll probably spot plot holes later, but for now I think it was clever, humorous, and touching. And they did manage to involve the classic doctors a bit. (I don't think that's a spoiler in itself.)
Just back from seeing it in 3D at the cinema - great atmosphere and loads of people dressed up (rare for Britain). I loved it - great to see Tennant back and I love John Hurt too. And 'Clara' in 3D was definitely a treat too
Moffat is a poor writer, Smith is a poor actor. One of the worst Doctors. The episode was too complicated and they tried to stuff too much into it.Apart from that ,though, I thought it was pretty good. Loved Tennant and the Baker bit at the end was awesome!
I don't usually like Moffat and I'm not a big fan of Matt Smith either, but I thought it was great. Spoiler My only complaint is that at the end of The Name of the Doctor they were inside his time stream and at the beginning of The Day of the Doctor she's a teacher, with no explanation of how they're alive. I also wish Tom Baker didn't tell us he was going to be in it so would have been more surprising. The part with Peter Capaldi was cool, and I'm glad they finally showed regeneration into 9. I hope they have Time Lords and Gallifrey in future episodes, and I also hope they didn't just kill off all the Daleks.
Spoiler Hurt was the very first doctor, not the one before 9, so unless I missed a part of the episode they didn't show the regeneration into 9. I do agree though that a bit of a transition between Name and Day of the Doctor would have been nice.
Spoiler Hurt was the doctor between 8 and 9. He also began regenerating at the end of the episode when he was in his TARDIS.
Spoiler Eh? He clearly references previous incarnations (which earned the title of "doctor" whilst he didn't).
Spoiler Where does he do this? He says he's not worthy of the title, but in one of Tennants episodes he mentions he called himself the Doctor where the Master called himself the Master, when they were children. ---------- Post added 24th Nov 2013 at 03:46 PM ---------- Can't seem to find any definitive answer to this question. ---------- Post added 24th Nov 2013 at 03:53 PM ---------- *Edit. Seems you guys were right: Doctor Who: Is John Hurt the ninth Doctor?
So I forgot to reply to this thread because my family was throwing a party for the 50th Anniversary....
Watched it, didn't have a clue what was going (I don't usually watch Doctor Who) but Spoiler I saw Malcolm Tucker at the controls of a Tardis. So I'm happy
I liked it. The ending was nice. The thing that bugged me, although unimportant, was Spoiler Ten never even saw "Rose". I was hoping for some interaction there.
For all the people who are debating on John Hurt's placement, this short should clear it up (Basically he's between 8 and 9) The Night of the Doctor: A Mini Episode - Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor Prequel - BBC - YouTube SPOILERS Anyway, I loved the episode. I did a little cheer when Capaldi appeared on screen, and when there were 13 Tardises Flying across the screen. Amazing stuff and some really impressive effects as well. Although I honestly cannot figure out why Rose was the conscience. It honestly feels like they just threw her in because why not. END SPOILERS
I loved it especially the last scene with Matt and the museum curator. That voice. I will miss Matt so much. Very much my favorite Doctor.I was really worried that the show was going to take a really dark turn but after seeing the 50th I'm so hoping the 12th Doctor is fun
It was already dark, especially compared to the classic series. The way Matt Smith played the Doctor, he was weird and fun, but very dark at the same time. He was perfect for the part, there's just something about him that I don't like. But that could just be because Moffat isn't very good at writing characters (IMO).
