The Day Of The Doctor

It's on the BBC's Youtube account.

Well then. I've asked this before, but can anyone explain what we currently think we know about the whole silence/falling/big bang/ death of the doctor mess?

Written and directed by Peter Davison. Bloody brilliant.
I think that had pretty much everything.

Anyone else thinking that the fact Gallifrey has been saved will tie into a regeneration limit plot line with Capaldi? He goes out searching for a way to access Gallifrey, and eventually finds it getting gifted more regenerations as a reward.

I imagine he already dealt with it and the Doctor only needs to figure it out.

The Sisters of Karn improved upon the Gallifreyan technology and they have always been the keepers of the flame of eternal life.

I suspect the elixer 8 drank ended the "limit" and he won't know it until he regenerates when he expects to die.

The special effects in this episode were top-notch.

Those 3D paintings were freaky, even on my non-3D television!

from a storytelling point of view, it is much more dramatic to think that next time he accepts death he THINKS it's THE end...THEN explain why it wasn't afterwards.

Just watched it for the second time in less than 24 hours. What an absolutely brilliant tribute to Doctor Who.

It makes up in spades for what has been an otherwise inconsistent and lacklustre past two seasons.

Just rewatched the 1996 movie, and that says 13 lives.

Arrghh!! Will!! Not!! Play!!

Is there another location, or a way to crack it open for download?

The 50th Special was awesome, but Peter Davison's film was bloody brilliant!

This is where I watched it:

Nope, it's the same clip on a different site.
Still loads like molasses to the point of unwatchable.
Worse than my 33k dialup days.

Several Doctors playing off of each other, scary-looking monsters, reflections on what it means to be the Doctor, and a big game-changing plot. What more do you want? I think they pulled it off pretty well.

Bravo.

That was quite OK. Not as good as the megahype made me believe but hey, isn't that always the case.

Galifrey (sp?) still being there, though... doesn't that kind of open a can of worms? I'm not down with 50 years of canon but the Galifreyans have always been kinda dicks when they appeared.

Ugh, watched it, took me an hour and a half.

...I....think I liked it.
I can't exactly tell.....

*Concentrates really hard, and reconstructs the 60 30-second long hiccups into the whole film inside my head*

Yeah, this.

Apart from Paul McGann being the eighth Doctor it's pretty safe to ignore anything from the 1996 movie. I actually think the "Imagine the Americans with time travel! Have you seen their movies?" line was a jab at it.

Oh, but there are so many other worthy targets . . . !

Okay, naturally we managed to miss this thru various stupid mixups.
When is it being rerun?

Amazon or iTunes. Come on man, a Roku box is like $70.

A whatnowbox?

I think history and technological progress stopped for Forbin at the Fourth Doctor.

Yep, it's the Forbin Paradox, spends every waking moment waxing nostalgic for the fictionalized future of his youth, oblivious to the amazing things at his fingertips.

I think I reached a comfort level with tech around 2004 and everything since just confuses me.

That should really be Apple's motto.

Why you hatin', hater?

Since when did stating a fact make one a "hater"?
