I love Mccoy's little "I GOT HIS PEN" moment when they get past the first security guard. And, gentlemen and ladies, yet again. Tom Baker is the Best. That's all that needs to be said. Whether it's being trapped in another sodding time vortex (how often does that happen to the man) or being both the 4th and Last Doctor or whatevers-dude is amazing. And very, very Tom Baker.

How has Tom Baker aged the best of all the pre-reboot Doctor's besides McGann.

Yeah saying he has aged the best is just crazy talk. Tom looks ancient, because he is. Not sure why we are discussing this in the spoiler thread.

At this point I'm barely sure why we even have a spoiler thread, since about all we know about the next episode is what we saw in an 11 second teaser trailer that the squares in the main thread didn't.  Moffat's putting us out of business.

Doesn't it usually take six or seven months to produce a full 13-episode run, due to British union regulations? I seem to recall both Tennant and Smith citing the schedule (and the crimp it put on them taking other work) as the primary reason for them leaving.

I was suspecting something like that, another Moffat style resolution to the fact that we have seen the Doctors grave and it seems to be Smiths. That time rip is probably where he dies, then somehow gets a new set of regeneration cycles. So he goes on but his previous chain is ended.

I'd make a remark about how a lot of whovians are basically brony-level internet refuse but now I'm too focused on speculating how Capaldi, Trenzalore, the last regeneration and the last of the Silence will fall Moffat nonsense will fit together and realized that at this point I'm just as goofy as the whovians. At least they don't gently caress their Dalek-plushies.

Whovian is a dumber term than Trekkie. And I'm both. So I'm probably just a Terrible Person. Anyway, maybe we'll get a different kind of regeneration this time, since it's beyond his limit. That'd be cool. Enough with turning gold and exploding. Let's go back to flashing back to Adric and dying. Haha.

Capaldi as the beginning of a new cycle or something is a bit weird since he was one of the 13 or whatever in the 50th

That's true, but doesn't that also clash with Smith being the last doctor? Unless Hurt regenerates into Capald.

Oh yeah I'm not actually arguing that he regenerated into another doctor, just that... we didn't see him regenerate into Eccleston as that one guy said. Though I just went back frame by frame and it looks like they possibly tweaked the eyes to resemble Christopher's, maybe, for like a quarter second right at the end of the final closeup.

I honestly wish they had just digitally Eccleston'd Hurt's face. They could even have still cut away before the regeneration effect was done, or pulled out to a longer shot with no clear face on screen, but after seeing the 8->War regeneration, my one wishlist item left for the 50th was a War->9.
