Considering the Time Lords are like super nerds when it comes to time, I wouldn't be surprised if they broke it themselves.

That too. Plus, in the scene from Part Two, that Lord President seems pretty adamant about not wanting to die...

my newest thoughts are, that no, the Time lords wont get "destroyed again",and will be abck regularly, however at some big cost..was anyone else kind of grossed out at timothy daltons constant spittle as he yelled his dramatic speech at the end? and his teeth were kinda yellow to.,.. i love that dramatic moment and rewatched it a lot but im starting to turn my head when i know the spittle will come flying..lol

I've thought of another reason of how The Woman (as she is credited in the closing titles) could be Romana. The Doctor says that there must be something linked to Wilf and him which is why they keep coming across each other. The Doctor knows Romana, Wilf has been chatting with Romana. See the triangle of love? :P

You might be onto something, my exterminating friend. She's certainly enigmatic enough...maybe that was the idea. Have us see her wandering around, leave us going "who the hell is that?"

SPOILERS!

OMFG!
10th Doc goes back to the day before Rose meets the 9th Doctor!

Was I the only one expecting Christopher Eccelston (9th Doctor) to show up when David Tennant (10th Doctor) was strugling to get back to the TARDIS and help him just after he sees pre-Doctor Rose?

And we still don't know who The Woman was? I'm still inclined to think it was The Doctor's Mother. Also, after David was done regenerating, the TARDIS console started falling to bits. I hope they don't make the interior look cr*p in the next season.

Oh, and Timothy Dalton was Lord President Rassilon according to one scene. Also, where did The Master go? We didn't see him die or dissapear in anyway?

And was it just me, or was that the Resurrection Gauntlet from Torchwood that Rassilon was using?
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

I enjoyed it for the most part but thought the ending was somewhat of an anti-climax. Sad to see Mr Tennant bow out and I echo his wishes about not wanting to go.

Yes.

What would be the point in that anyway? Breaking a few laws of time there methinks.

And we still don't know who The Woman was?

Did you not see David turn his head slightly after Wilf ask that question? I think it was hinted at being Doctor-Donna. Somehow.

Also, after David was done regenerating, the TARDIS console started falling to bits. I hope they don't make the interior look cr*p in the next season.

Well, they have changed the walls slightly. One would assume a possible console change.

Oh, and Timothy Dalton was Lord President Rassilon according to one scene.

Yes, the final scene with him in. Never call a Time Tot Rassilon, unless you're a megalomaniac parent. :P

Also, where did The Master go? We didn't see him die or dissapear in anyway?

He did disappear with the Time Lords. Like touching someone just as they transport away in Star Trek (ST: The Voyage Home is a good example).

And was it just me, or was that the Resurrection Gauntlet from Torchwood that Rassilon was using?

No it wasn't. The Resurrection Gauntlet had much pointier finger tips.


So whats happened then? Is Matt Smith doing a David Tennant when he first appeared on our screens (ie. go a bit mad)?

Coooooool. Lets hope he remembers he needs a cup of tea. ;)

Cup of tea always works. :)

Personally, if Gallifrey was returning and the Doctor said everything else (Daleks, Nightmare Child etc) was coming, it might've been nice to see them. And as for the Daleks, RTD has got rid of a big enemy, would've made a perfect excuse to bring them back.

I think that that might be how they have come back. We shall see.

I thing that the Lord Bond- I uh, mean, Lord President had the hand of Omega, maybe?

Also, I think the Woman is the Doctors mother. I don't see how it could be the Doctor-Donna.

And Matt Smith. First impressions of him 'officially in the role'. Not to good.

As much as I am saddened to see David Tennant bow out, and as much as I am absolutely sure that he will always be my Doctor. I will give Matt Smith a chance, the trailer looks quite promising and Moffatt is renowned for his awesome stories (Empty Child, Blink, Forest of the Dead anyone?)

I cheated again. I saw it on YouTube. (Unfortunately, the guy uploading it hasn't put in the last part.)

And I just saw the part where the Master essentially sacrifices himself to save the Doctor...and then the knocking on the glass door. "He will knock four times" - I knew it was significant, but I did not see it coming the way it did.

Daleks! Daleks! DALEKS! :D

Although, since when did the Doctor resort to punching people? :P

Another thing about End of Time that confused me a little: We all knew in The Sontaran episodes that Martha was engaged to someone and that appeared to continue right till Journey's End which is when Mickey turned up again. But when the Doctor saves Martha in EoT, she's married to Mickey. So what happened to the other guy between Journey's End and End of Time?

He's also taken to guns, apparently, too. Shades of Chris Eccleston? (Or, towards the end, David Tennant...damn, the episode hasn't even premiered in the US yet and I miss him already. Because, like I said, I cheated. *grin*)

And am I seeing things, or are the Daleks returning to the traditional '60s look?
