Ha! Just saw The Name of The Doctor, so now I can finally come back to this thread!
Yeah, that cliff-hanger is rough, but from what I know, Doctor X/Hurt is the real Ninth Doctor, but since The Doctor doesn't really count him as one, I don't either and shall remain with the current numbering scheme.
Anyway, It was a great episode, but it felt just a tad stretched to me, very unlike the previous episodes this series.
For example, I was just about screaming at the screen when Clara was taking forever to jump into the timey-wimey thing, but overall the flaws are few, and the triumphs are many.
Cons: Tiny bit stretched, River's return isn't explained very well, the Whispermen aren't explained at all, the fact that Clara pops all around in The Doctor's life, but he only remembers her from the last couple of meetings, what happened to the GI. (Clara survived the fall, got rescued, GI fell, never heard from again.) And finally, why does the control room from who knows how many years and regenerations later look just like the current one apart from the foliage? (I get the real-world reason, just not the in-universe reason. Although that's a tiny issue hardly worth mentioning.)
Pros: Fantastic clips of the early Doctors, great explanation for the many Claras, wonderful ending that answers many questions, but then grabs you with a great cliff-hanger, the great realization of the Doctor's tomb and the concept behind it, the return of River, and well, just about everything else.
And some random thoughts:
The River/Clara relationship was played very well, but wouldn't Clara now know The Doctor's name from both the Tardis episode, and River's speaking it? That could get interesting. Loved the bigger Tardis/grave thing. Also, The Doctor smashed anybody's last hopes of discounting his and River's marriage, which was nice. I feel that going after the Gang was a bit too weak of a reason to go to his grave, but I'm a bit biased against them anyway, so that's just me. (Although this slightly redeemed them from TCH, I still don't care for them, and was almost glad when Jenny "died." Too bad Strax possess a magic wand, makes death mean absolutely nothing.) This is one of my favorite finales, and that's saying something, as most of the rest have been two-parters and have had a lot more room to develop.
And on Hurt/Doctor X:
Yeah, for now I'm calling him "X" as in unknown, not as in 10, which would be the wrong number anyway.
At first, when I heard the rumors about his being a Doctor, I was totally against it. There would be nothing, absolutely nothing, that should prevent them from simply bringing Paul McGann back. There are in fact many reasons FOR doing it, but now, after watching the episode and pondering on it for a while, I can't wait to see this new guy in action. 50th, you just became a three-Doctor story, and any anticipation I had for you just tripled....At least.
Now, funny enough, this still leaves a lot of questions. Like, the fall of the Eleventh. But I read another review that summed things up pretty well by saying this:
Spoiler (click to read)
This I assume by the fact that the 'dead' TARDIS is extremely similar to the current one which the Doctor arrived in. Observe that there is a crack in the glass when he lands, which the Doctor notices, touches and brushes off with an 'oops'. But then look at the monument, and there that crack is again, blatantly visible and on the same pane. Then we move inside, where the TARDIS interior is the current one. If we were to believe that the Doctor's death is many years and a few incarnations into the future then surely the console room would have changed numerous times? This could mean the production team aren't planning on changing it for however long the show continues, they couldn't be bothered to design a generally 'tomb-like' TARDIS interior to use, or that the TARDIS here is the current one and that the fall of the Eleventh, the question, and silence will fall are all still awaiting us.
This makes perfect sense, and the guy went on to say a lot of things I really agree with, and would love to see happen, so here's a link to it. It's the one by James Nolan in case you miss it.
Now, to reply to a few of the comments I missed...
Max, obviously Doctor Who just isn't the show for you. And that's fine. You don't have to watch or like it. But complaining about it kinda starts comment wars and upsets dedicated fans. I'm not saying to not review things, but maybe you should step back and realize that some shows just aren't for some people, and stop forcing your self to watch something that you hate. If the show was always Doctor-with-no-power, then that'll quickly ruin what many, many people like about it.
I've seen some of the classic stuff, and while it does take some getting used to, and has some very, very low moments, (Peri, being my least favorite companion. Even lower than "Runaway Bride Donna, because at least the latter got better, (A lot better) later on.") but it also has some great stuff in it. Maybe you should give it a try, but if you don't like it, don't force yourself to keep at it.
And for my opinion of Colin Baker, I've not seen that much of him. (Vengeance on Varos, The Two Doctors Part 1, Mindwarp.) But I think he's pretty cool...If only Peri wasn't around all the time. He's different for sure, but I like him.
And Squid, what SH reference, I must have missed it.
And yeah, that's probably a long enough post for now. Feel free to analyze it to pieces....Nicely.
