Enjoyed it, JW very good, nice script, comic touches, BW good too . Good point about the Hartnell era and the relationship with the companions. Have to watch it again, but good start . glad to be back on the forum .
I Liked the episode a Lot. Great to see D B playing Hartnell, the episode was very fan orientated so how it went over with the general viewer is difficult to say, lovely performances from Gatiss and Pearl Mackie, i cant be the only one who wishes she was still around for the new series. She is such an engaging actress. JW first few seconds were good but similar to the eleventh hour, if her first episode is as good as Smiths, we will have nothing to worry about. Sad to see Capaldi go , i would have liked one more seris from him, then again i always end up feeling that way. A word for Moffat to the show really owes him a great debt, If he had only written “Blink” that would be proof of his genuis, sure he cld be annoying at times, but when he got it right my god he was good. Looking forward to what chibnalls going to do with the show .
one of my favourite episodes, pauline collins is very good in this, the pace of the episode is very good to.
the effects are really impressive to, the change into the wolf is amazing.
wolfweed thanks for posting that clip of capaldi and the young fan. very nice !
on the question of regenerations, i thought that the tennant regeneration back into himself using his hand wld be counted as another regeneration not the meta crisis doctor which came about with donnas help as the doctor did not use up any regeneration energy in the usual way ? as regards getting past the limit, i agree with others that the sisters of karn cld well be used as a way round this. i also had this theory that at some point during the time war the time lords wld have given themselves a whole new cycle of regenerations to fight the war and maybe the doctor was one of those that recieved them .
thats a fantastic pic wolfweed ! thanks for posting .
success finally managed to get a ticket ! good luck everyone else .
