61  Travels In Time And Space / Christmas 2013 - The Time of the Doctor / Re: Rate & Review The Time of the Doctor on: December 28, 2013, 10:25:52 pm
I've rewatched it now, and I've gone with a four.  I liked most of it, but I found Clara's family a bit pointless, and the whole thing about the Doctor trying to send Clara away and her coming back seemed very Parting of the Ways, and I certainly don't think we needed it twice in the same story.  I did like the way all the mysteries were drawn together and explained (if only via a timey-wimey paradox) and it was interesting seeing the Doctor staying for centuries and growing old.

And I was relieved at the solution to the Doctor Who question.  I wouldn't have liked his name to be revealed, and Clara's right - the Doctor is who he is.

Lem is Mel backwards. A hint?

I hadn't noticed that.  On the other hand, now I've rewatched it, she compliments him on his new body when they meet, which doesn't suggest it's River.  Everything else does, though.

Was it just me, or did anyone else find it significant that Tasha flirts outrageously with the Doctor, knows how to fly the TARDIS and has been fighting her inner psychopath all her life?  Remind you of anyone, sweetie?  Cool

I enjoyed it overall, but I did have some doubts, especially about Clara's role.  I'm fine with the Time Paradox - I love that kind of thing, and I didn't find the solution to the regeneration issue at all arbitrary - I liked the idea that it was essentially a side-effect of the Time Lords opening the Crack.

I'm going to watch it at least once more before I rate it - at the moment, it would probably be a four, but I want to see if the bits I'm doubtful about grow on me with rewatching.

Both clips seem to have been from the fun part of the story, but that's OK - it looks genuinely fun, before we get into the serious stuff.

There's also a clip of Moff talking on the same site, where he promises that this episode will be the pay-off to all the mysteries since The Eleventh Hour.  I think we should hold him to that  Cool

By the way, I'm going to be away from tomorrow till Friday, and I won't have a chance to discuss the episode till the weekend.  I'll definitely be giving my views then, though.

All interesting theories, although I don't think the "punishment to live" theory works, because that's his punishment if he uses the Moment - which he doesn't.

I agree TB's appearance doesn't make a lot of sense - the Fourth Doctor didn't get that old, and there doesn't seem any reason why he'd be taking something away from the Time War.  My assumption is that he's actually meant to be a future Doctor, and they just had Tom playing him for the fans.

A nice little clip - presumably before things get serious (not that I'm suggesting turkey isn't serious  Cool)

I'll find out about the numbering soon enough.  I suppose one possibility is they're counting the aborted regen.

Here's the write-up from the online version of the Radio Times.

http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/cq6k6j/doctor-who--the-time-of-the-doctor

Interesting that it says Matt's now bumped up to the 13th Doctor, rather than to the 12th.  I wonder if that suggests the Valyard's around somewhere.  Or is there yet another unknown Doctor?

The cast-list doesn't really tell us anything we don't know - the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Silence are all going to be around.

Also apologies if things get a bit slack on my end for the next few weeks - we're just going in to our crazy busy time at work (panto!).

Oh no you're not (someone had to say it  Cool)

Thanks.  I think you've covered all the basics - other threads can be added as and when they're needed.

Interesting.  I wonder who it was Clara was talking to when she said "Help him change the future."
