7th Station ~TV, movies, games~

[Celedam]

After tonight's episode, it seems that there are two key phrases moving forward. The season's motif, so to speak. First…

"It's a magical place."*

…and then…

"Trust the system."

* This one was already established but it took on greater meaning. Listen for the hesitation.

I'll make sure to watch it!

Yeah, the show's just alright

Before the day, there is the night…

Spoiler: show

For long-time fans, this is HUGE. The death of the Eighth Doctor and his regeneration into… the War Doctor? Is that what we're calling him?

Even better, it's Paul McGann's second-ever appearance on screen as the Eighth Doctor, after the 1996 movie. And what an appearance it is…

He's done a huge number of radio plays, though. And that may be what's best about this clip. The radio plays produced by Big Finish have always been considered only semi-canon; they have a license from the BBC and all of the original actors from the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Doctors, but anything not actually broadcast on BBC 1 just isn't quite… y'know. This clip, however, may have just confirmed the radio plays as canon, because the list of names that the Doctor zips through at 5:34 are all of his companions from there.

That is indescribably cool for long-time fans like me. SQUEEEEE!

And finally, if they've shown the regeneration from the Eighth Doctor to the War Doctor, what are the chances that they'll show the regeneration from the War Doctor to the Ninth Doctor? That would be a hell of a surprise for and gift to the fans. They say Christopher Eccleston declined to be in the special, and he's always tried to distance himself from his turn as the Ninth Doctor so that it wouldn't cramp the rest of his career (*snort*), but he can't be so spiteful as to ruin what would be an epic twist… can he?

Years and years of loose ends — pretty much everything involving the Time War — may get tied up in this special. And I thought the end of "The End of Time" was a big deal…

Google has a cute little game today, in honor of the Day of the Doctor.

So I watched it.

I knew that it, being an anniversary special, was likely to have a "happy ending". But I'm not sure how I feel about that particular ending.

I need to think about it for a while.

My friends didn't like it, but they haven't liked most of Steven Moffat's run.

At least the Curator was a nice surprise.
