[spoiler]With regards to the curator, I don't think it was meant to be 4, it was just a little nod to the past doctors, being an aged Tom Baker. And a sort of in joke to come after 11 said he wanted to retire and curate the museum.asamaic wrote:I really enjoyed seeing David Tennant again, he remains my favourite "new" doctor.
I liked
[spoiler]the line about him always saying he doesn't want to go![/spoiler]
Re Billy Piper, I thought
[spoiler]casting her as a character imitating her character was a neat way to get around the problem of how she never managed to get the voice right after leaving as a regular.[/spoiler]
I wasn't sure where Tennant was in his timeline.
[spoiler]He sounded baffled at "Bad Wolf girl" rather than heartbroken, and he was travelling without a companion. If this was post Rose Tyler disappearing to another universe, I would have expected a bit more misery?[/spoiler]
Re the big ending
[spoiler]I know the Doctor was meant to have killed his own people, but I was sure we had heard of Gallifrey being timelocked before - maybe in one of the Christmas specials - and now I can't remember why.[/spoiler]
And re the little ending
[spoiler]Er, what? I liked the appearance of the curator, but what was it supposed to mean? A past regeneration can't just retire and age, they're gone forever! What happened?[/spoiler]
I loved the 'War Doctor', shame to introduce such a brilliant regeneration and then get rid of him!
I both appreciated and disliked
[spoiler]all the doctors lined up. Lovely idea, but the quality looked naff on iPlayer. Actually, talking of archive footage, I liked how they tried to bring them all in, including Eccleston who could have filmed something new but didn't want to. I realise he hates the role, but he was so very good at it. How did the other doctors assemble, btw? I timey wime-ily didn't understand that.[/spoiler]
Overall, great episode.
And they assembled the doctors (I assume) by using archive footage (aside from Capaldi, obviously).[/spoiler]
