OK good show but i am confused on something here, if JH wanted to burn Gallifrey (as they called it), wouldn't that make him the first doctor (not 9th). if as you have all been saying he turned into CE, then we are only on number 3, not 11 or 12th, if that is a case what happed the to first 8.
The first 8 came before the Time War. Hurt came from McGann so how would he be number 1?
The point of the Time War is that it takes place everywhere and everywhen, which is why it threatens all of reality not just the Time Lords and the Daleks.
That's a bit far fetched. Ace didn't mention that when she & the Doctor were battling the Kandy Man in the Kandy Kitchen in 1988. Maybe it was something to do with the Pipe People, maybe they hid the entire Time War in a marzipan mix. Honestly, I just don't know.
Whilst it was fun I have to say I'm a tad disappointed. I loved seeing the Zygons back but their plan in the story seemed abit glossed over at the end to focus on Gallifrey.
Tom Baker turning up was good but I'm confused what it added.
John Hurt - why not make his role Paul McGann as he "forgotten Doctor" and be done with it? Was there really a need to add a new Doctor?
I think the disappointment for me was that it was effectively a new Who story that could have been at any time in any series or another "Three Doctors" story not a way to incorporate 50 years. As a story it was fine though.
Galifrey etc was the main story though not the Zygons
He mentioned to Rose once (though don't remember now which show) and he he added and "believe me she was no....( obviously meaning virgin though he never finished the sentence." Anyone else remember which show it was? I believe they were running back into the TARDIS.
Also, forgot to add. It's been canon since Doctor 9 that the Doctor fought in the Time War in his past so Hurt being a future incarnation wouldn't have made much sense.
Her role in the whole thing... I think I must have blanked or something.
She didn't really have a significance to the plot, other than being copied by the Zygons and wearing a scarf that was similar to one of the Doctor's scarfs.
Absolutely loved it. A glorious romp with so many fan nods it will take a few repeat viewings to take them all in. I had a huge smile on my face the whole episode. Bravo Moff, you pulled it off!
Busy preparing for our day at the DW Celebration in London tomorrow now, so will post more later.

Ah, thanks. I thought there was something more to her what with the scarf and everything.

Yes but weren't we always lead to believe it was Eccleston's Doctor that fought in the TIme war?
This is without doubt one of the most badly paced, confusing, illogical and inconsistent pieces of television that has ever given me such incredible pleasure to watch.
It was fantastic. When all is said and done, it really was the 11 Doctors in a way. They all appeared. So the rumors were kind of right!
The acting was incredible and David and Matt bounced off each other. It is a shame about Chris, but if he doesn't want to come back, his loss. It did perfectly well without him. John was also very good, though I was surprised about how David and Matt were with him. I thought they hated that regeneration?
Tom Baker's return made 0 sense, but who cares? It was beautiful.
Coal Hill School: Wonderful, and if Clara works there, does that mean it could be used in the future?
I suppose that's what defines Doctor Who, especially the classics. It's such a heap of trash which manages to be an absolute joy to watch.
They copied a bunch of people, a nuke was involved, they all forgot who was human or not and agreed to come up with a treaty... did you miss that bit?
The girl was handed the inhaler thus working out who was who, did you miss that bit? she would have known she was Zygon and the treaty would have fallen apart. It should have been resolved, even if it was visited for a minute or so, but it was completely forgotten about, shoddy writing.

Ah that makes sense.

I'm guessing Gallifrey will have something to do with the Doctor having more lives, so this was a way for them to bring Gallifrey back.
Umm, I think they ended up coming to a peaceful agreement because the Doctor made them forget whether they were human or alien.
I really don't get the surprise. They are actors, who are not dead, so can appear in TV shows at will.
That's a bit far fetched. Ace didn't mention that when she & the Doctor were battling the Kandy Man in the Kandy Kitchen in 1988. Maybe it was something to do with the Pipe People, maybe they hid the entire Time War in a marzipan mix. Honestly, I just don't know.
What is there to explain?

may be its because we did not no that's why humans get surprise ,it may not surprise Vulcan's.

Even if an infinite space is incredibly empty, it still contains an infinite amount of things.
Nope. Space can be infinite but can also have a finite amount of things in it.
In rose he had only just regenerated
