Yeah, even in the first episode we find out that entire worlds disappeared when the Time War was locked away. It wasn't just taking a Death Star to Gallifrey and Skaro. The Doctor took a box knife to reality and carved out the parts that needed to go.

Have we even gotten a slight clue as to how the Doctor ended the War?

Rhyno posted:Have we even gotten a slight clue as to how the Doctor ended the War? Only that it was through "The Moment". It looks like it will be explained in the special. Although I must say that worries me a bit. Sometimes no explanation is better than a bad one, like the classic example of when the Master next comes back it should just be: Doctor: Ah, so you are back Master: Yes I used to think it was just that the Doctor went way back in time and locked Rassillon and Davros in a box and threw away the key, so they couldn't create the Time Lord and Dalek societies, but once I think that through in depth it doesn't work. (But then what does in the timey wimey world of Doctor Who continuity?)

I hope the nightmare child always remains off screen. Because it's great that davros didn't fall into a time warp or a star or a blackhole, no, he fell into something that we don't know gently caress about. Same with all the other whimsical crazy poo poo in the time war mentioned in that one sentence in end of time (the could've been king and his army of meanwhiles and neverweres, skaro degredations, the nightmare child). In my mind the time war will always be a crazy blacklight poster

I suspect this will be overruled by DotD, but comics sources indicate that the process was: Step 1. Create a device out of a demat gun and the Great Key of Rassilon Step 2. ??? Step 3. Profit.

Has anything been revealed about how the 50th relates to the cliffhanger from this past season? Everything I've seen so far makes it seem like this is a standalone episode that's taking place outside of The Doctor's timestream.

Tom Baker claims he's in the 50th: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/aaron-sagers/exclusive-tom-baker-to-ap_b_4295773.html Of course it's Tom though, so he could just be loving with us.

"It worked out very well, I think, judging by the reactions of the technicians," It's the use of the word technicians that intrigues me. Maybe a Deep Space Nine style mixture of old Tom and new doctors in the same scene(s)?

"I'm not supposed to tell you that, but I tell you that very willingly and specifically; the BBC told me not to tell anybody but I'm telling you straightaway." I'm putting money down that it's the "hall of statues/paintings" rumor which has been going on for months now. It was largely dismissed til we saw the shot of them going into a hall of covered statues in the trailer. So once again Tom will be played by a waxwork dummy!

Nah, they're recycling the Shada footage again. The technicians he mentions are the video technicians that cropped the footage for widescreen and did the HD conversion.

So this Collection of videos leading up to the 50th popped up my Facebook feed today. I didn't see it posted anywhere and figured this was the better thread for it. The video from the BBC Breakfast News has interviews with all Doctors participating in the 50th. What I find most interesting in the Tennant interview is it feels like he is taking a stab at Eccelston by saying it would be childish to turn down coming back for the 50th anniversary. Least thats what it felt like to me but I could be taking a stab in the dark with it.

I might be weird, but all I want is some of the action to take place at early 80's Heathrow, explaing why the Doctor couldn't get Teegan home. Well it's not really what I want at all, but it's fun to come up with weird ideas.

Lets be honest. There are exactly two ways that the 50th will go. A: Hurt get's redemption. Ten and Eleven accepting he had to do whatever timewr poo poo he did. B: Hurt doesn't get redemption. Ten and Eleven try and fight what he does, but he still does what's 'necessary'. Fun.

quote:"I was Doctor Who before I got it and I remained Doctor Who since I did it," said Tom Baker. "There wasn't much difference except apart from the miraculous aspect of being able to disappear and reappear, apart from the mechanical dog and beautiful assistants and Daleks -- it was very much like my life."

Well, turns out The Last Day was released on iTunes in the UK, not seen it yet elsewhere. Apparently it's just a non-Doctor involved short about Arcadia. Guess that lessens the chance for Eccelston.
