New mini episode: "The Last Day"

This one is...intriguing...

It features soldiers from Gallifrey during the Last Time War. It does not show the Doctor. Instead, it shows Gallifreyan soldiers on Arcadia, a stronghold city in Gallifrey...

A cinema about 5 minutes walk from my house is showing it, but my eyes can't process 3D properly, so I'll be watching at home.

Nearest theater for me is Pflugerville, and I'm hopin they ain't sold out.  Which reminds me, while I'm not a cosplayer, and while I don't have the proper clothing to do it, I at least hope that the one piece of "clothing" I plan on wearing gets by the ticket people.

(Hint:  It's a celery.  Duh.  ;) ^-^ )




EDIT:  Well, shoot, after looking at my schedule, looks like I won't be able to make the showing.  :(  Oh well, I can watch it on the TV.  :)

Anyone watch An Adventure in Space and Time yet?  it was pretty much all fluff, but I enjoyed it.  Great performances, the reconstruction of the sets and props and scenes from various episodes was a real labour of love, and it all showed on the screen.

And now the BBC are showing all of An Unearthly Child back to back...

I honestly don't know. It's been pulled from every site I saw it on. Which is rather odd because as far as I know "The Night of the Doctor" hasn't pulled from any site.

You know I remember the good old days when Daleks couldn't even manage a set of stairs and the Fourth Doctor was making fun of one because they couldn't manage a vertical passage.

The Night of the Doctor, a mini-episode:

I would watch the hell out of a TV movie or two with McGann's doctor written and performed like that

Oh, me too. I scared a couple of cats when I saw McGann's Doctor. "I'm a doctor, but probably not the one you're expecting."

Hey, guys, check out Google.  While you're at it, check out Yahoo.  OK, the Yahoo one isn't as cool as the Google one, but it's subtle.

Well, the day was upon us, and all I can say is...

Wow. I really liked the episode. Certainly, it's not Moffat's best, but then again, after episodes like The Empty Child, it was never going to be. That said, it was still a great episode, and the opportunity that the extra time afforded him looks to have been siezed with both hands.

Overall verdict for the episode: {>{>

As I said on facebook though, dear goodness that Christmas Teaser  :o

A good episode but rather underwhelming for multiple doctors and the 50th anniversary.

Fun episode.

What he said....

And...did Moffet completely forget "The End of Time"? Because...I know Doctor Who and continuity aren't really on speaking terms but still...that's pretty huge...

Actually You can still actually have 'The End of Time' happen because the central high command that the doctors were addressing in that episode were cut off from the Council...  our lord president Tim... who had clearly gone nuts.   So, to the council, the doctor was indeed going to end Gallifrey...  which in a way, he did.  It does end in fire.    The planet is still in a form of time lock, as was demonstrated in the episode by using the paintings.   And still leaves the room for the beating drums that drove the Master mad.   It's not perfect but it still works.  All it required was Lord President Timothy and the insane time lords on his side from not realizing what was going on... which is easily understandable if you consider the devastation of Arcadia and the planetary bombardment and then use that as a standard measure on which to base what was happening across the planet.
"Any sufficiently rigorously defined magic is indistinguishable from technology."  - Larry Niven... far too appropriate at times here.

...but sometimes making sure you turn their ace into red paste is more important than friends.

Do not offend the chair leg of truth.  It is wise and terrible.

The GM is only right for as long as the facts back him up.
