So at 8pm, I was there and got to see it how I wanted to and although I know there will be people that didn’t like it (we’re a diverse community), I personally enjoyed it and will likely watch it a few times more.
I liked that the 10th Doctor doesn’t like the 11th Doctor’s console room (similarly to how the 5th Doctor didn’t like his console room), how the 10th and 11th Doctors sniped at each other a bit and sizing up their Sonic Screwdrivers, which is both suggestive (it is Steven Moffat) but also very basically about them genuinely comparing Sonic Screwdrivers.
I liked the 10th Doctor’s expression when the ‘claws’ were extended on the 11th Doctor’s Screwdriver.
It was also great to see Gallifrey and the RTD Daleks, although IF it is the Last Great Time War, it seems we’ll be missing Lord President Rassilon (which is slightly difficult to understand at this point) and a new actor playing the Master before he ran away, but we obviously know it’s impossible to show the whole thing.
It was unexpected to see Rose talking to John Hurt’s Doctor on his own and I wasn’t sure about the make-up, but still great to see Billie back with us.
I’ve doubtless missed bits and pieces, but like any fan, will be watching it over to catch anything I missed.
]]>From what I’ve seen I believe the 50th will clear up all mystery’s that have been going since the show restarted. What actually happened in the time war, what exactly is the Moment mentioned in the end of time part 2, and of course we should learn about the silence and every thing else Moffat has made since he took rein of the show!
Also, did anyone else noted that John Hurts doctor’s tardis looked similar to the 9th and 10ths doctors tardis?
I’m so glad that we’ve finally started to see some footage from the 50th, and I HOPE THE TRAILER tomorrow will shed more light!
