I would have rolled my eyes at the Tom Tom joke, but I might have missed a frame of DW. :p I think the joke felt a little forced, but not enough to take away from the episode.

The new Cybermen. There's something about them that gives them a slightly more terrifying presence. Something with the head, I don't know quite what it is. They look better, still like the old one's, but these are great. Even if they do have an arc reactor. :p

Also, I did catch the Alons-y.

Have you noticed that they've started using more RTD era music this last half of the series. Mostly for the "Next Time" segments. That cyber track, I really kept thinking it was going to hit the Doctor Forever segment, and then they cut/looped instead. xD

The DVD/Blu-Ray has been sent out early to some reviewers, and some sites sent it early. So watch out for spoilers for the finale.

Is it just me or did the new rendition of the Cybermen in this Saturdays episode seem a little... Borg-ish?

I thought the same thing, they were definitely trying to emulate the borg, especially with the cybermen assimilating people and "upgrading" to adapt to attacks. Maybe the producers are trying to add continuity with the Assimilation2 comic (I haven't gotten around to reading the last book, so I don't know how it ends, please don't spoil it). I thought the upgrades were a little over the top, though.

I've been waiting on the last book myself. Damn near 6 months now by my reckoning. Why the hell hasn't it come out yet I wonder?

Run you clever boy, and remember........................

What if Clara set him off in the first place. Think about it, as an 8 year old child, when he looked into the untempered schism, The Doctor ran. What if somehow, through something that happens in the series finale, has Claras words echo through the time vortex and into the mind of a Juvenal Doctor

just a thought

That wouldn't surprise me, and would be quite need. Some screenshots from the finale have been released and one of them... Oh my...

Well, Moffat proved that he can still tell a good story. That opening sequence... amazing! And the end... AMAZING!! And the middle? That was good, definitely had it's moments.

I'm speechless.

So, regarding the 50th:- discusss!

flarespire · « **Reply #854 on:** May 18, 2013, 07:00:09 PM »

well... that episode was a complete and utter mind**** to say the least, still i enjoyed it though.

eclipse74569 · « **Reply #855 on:** May 18, 2013, 09:05:52 PM »

Holy shizzle......

As far as the 50th...I'm gonna guess that John Hurt will play an aged 8th doctor...though there are rumors that he's the real 9th and that Eccleston is gonna be pushed to #10 which would make Matt Smith the 12th doctor.

Vortex · « **Reply #856 on:** May 19, 2013, 04:21:28 AM »

The rumour is that he's an alternative 9. Also, Eleven said that he was him, not that he was the Doctor. Right before they introduced him as "The Doctor". xD

Series 8 has been confirmed.

just finished this up minutes ago. why are you people surprised. New Who ALWAYS ends with a twist or a Sacrifice by SOMEBODY. it's practically a Cliche, and turning into a Trope. note the VERY clever way they got AROUND the Doctor's name being said.

my partner wanted to confirm if Clara's 'take THAT one' moment with D1 (where the hell did they find colour footage?!) was real. I had to tell him it was probably impossible to confirm. I know a good deal of D1 and D2 footage is missing, but is that moment?

we'll find out who this alt is. I personally think it's Alt!D13.

A lot of the older stuff is on colour for DVD's, if I'm not mistaken. Obviously it was an edit, but they pulled it of very well. We also know now what the TARDIS used to look like.
