Brilliant episode! What an unexpected plot change... And I didn't expect to see all 13 Doctors at once!

I meant more I expected 12 Doctors, no 13 with the newest, Peter Capaldi. I didn't expect we would see him there as well since the 11th hasn't regenerated yet.

The 50th special was just flat out amazing!! Watched with my little brother last night, also a Who fan, and we just loved it! So much new stuff and old stuff weaved together, and it was just wonderful! I feel like I'm going to have to watch it a couple more times to catch things I may have missed the first time. No Sherlock trailer afterwards here that I saw, will have to look for that online.

I gave a little squeal of excitement when I saw Capaldi!
Can't wait for the Christmas special. Although I think I'll make sure I have a box of tissues handy!

Loved 10 and 11's banter!

Yes! I loved it! I watched it at a friend's place at 6.50am (omg) and I was full of squee!

Saw the Sherlock trailer today on YouTube; was pointed to it by Tumblr followers. Now curious what the hell Anderson is up to!

Now that's dedication!     Eeeee….  but wasn't it awesome?      Changing his history, yet again, old favorites, new twists, typical banter.  Besides the bigger questions, was anyone musing (or taking for granted) "when" Ten was coming from, though?    Got a laugh thinking back to all the times they've had him run into a queen or joking implied history with, and here we finally see his little dalliance with.  That, plus the 'I don't want to go'…. I realized he's totally coming from his 'avoidance traipsing about' period right before he meets with the Ood to discuss his fate (and joked about getting married).  Just found that neat they tied that in there.

And just…. how cool of a production as a whole, huh?  The history, people, re-boot, amount of stuff put into (and spawned from) it, including all the other stuff tied in for the anniversary, PLUS the very fitting (and tough!) same-time-around-the-world broadcast (that even the fans helped with!) and that they won a Guinness award for!!  Take a look!

Well, since I've found my way back here, let me just say I loved the 50th and I am dying for the Christmas special, although I don't want Matt to go.

It was great seeing David in his sandshoes ( ) again and despite having mixed feeling about the whole "lost Doctor" thing (and even though David will always be Ten and Matt always Eleven, no matter what they say), I really enjoyed John Hurt's performance. He was great and the dynamics between the three of them was great. And all the little nods to the past were lovely.

I loved how they managed to salute the past while welcoming the future and making a huge step in the Doctor's story. 

Oh, and who was the devil who wrote David's last line... again? lol

Aww… yes!  I know!!   Granddad, Chinny, Sandshoes, how Ten and Eleven bounced off each other, Hurt's performance, the past and future like you said (and eesh, talk about shifting the essence of his story, again!)   And if you felt nudged again by 'that one line'….  I don't suppose you've yet watched Gatiss' "Adventure In Time And Space", have you?   
Absolutely love this shot they took when they got all of the old actors together (they must have been thrilled, too!)



And even though they only gave Tom more of a cameo in the episode, did you see "The Five(ish) Doctors" reboot thing that Davison decided to make?  So much hilarity and touching cuteness crammed into thirty minutes:  http://denofgeek.us/tv/doctor-who/231235/our-favorite-things-about-the-fiveish-doctors-reboot

Aww…. that's too bad hardly have any free time now!  Hope it lightens soon.  But eh, I've barely kept up with all the little 'side' things they've been doing, either.  Really neat they've been doing, but as with anything addicted to, there's always more than enough to keep up with.     Gatiss' 'Adventure' was a wonderful look at the history of it, but for just some short (30 min.) cute hilarity, whenever you have a short moment, the 'Five(ish)' thing I mentioned in my last post that I came across by chance was just so great with lots of the older people who loved and worked on Who (and many other cameos!) just having fun with it.  You can't go wrong with these guys! 

New trailer for "The Time of the Doctor"!  Be prepared for complete awesomeness :D
