Smith's Swan Song

           So we say Goodbye to the Raggedy Man, The Chin,and let's not forget the one who got to MARRY the girl WHILE the universe and TARDIS exploded around them, then had to leave because everyone thought he was dead and she had to break back INTO jail. Then there was Clara who was and wasn't, then came and went into the Doctor's past lives and his ship(his main squeeze) and even got to met his darkest secret.
   
          With the town of Christmas in Peril, the Doctor is surrounded by enemies and the smile/crack in the wall was the Time Lords all along.  The Doctor decides against his normal policy(Run, run fast) and stays for hundreds of years, growing old and wasting his last regeneration.  After Clara and the TARDIS end up back at the Planet, which we find out is Trenzalore, Clara goes to the smiling crack in the wall and begs the Time Lords to grant the Doctor a new regeneration.  The Smile goes away and Clara thinks all is lost, but then then regeneration starts and the power of it kills all the baddies.  The Doctor and Clara go back to the TARDIS and she says wow you can keep your face.  He says it's just starting and poof there's Peter Capaldi.  Then he asks her how to fly the TARDIS.

          I don't know what this means for next season.  I'm sure he's losing the bowtie.  I did like seeing Amy's both of them.  River?  That would have been nice.  I think she should feature more in the new season.  We know their time line is out of order anyway.  I think Peter and Alex are a good match. I may write more on this later on the 5 or 6 viewing. LOL! 

Happy WHOlidays Everyone and 

May Weeping Angels Never Surround You!

Questions about the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who

So, The Day of the Doctor…

I liked it.  I really did.  I just have some questions.

I’m not being mean but was Billy Piper preggers? That would account for the odd costume that was sort of flow-y.

Why was Clara teaching, and there?  What happening to the kids she was watching?  There was a throwaway line in Nightmare in Silver that leads us to believe that the girl was going to grow up to be Liz 10 or was that just me?

Speaking of Cybermen, why was there a head in the Dark Vault?  Also was I the only person who noticed the painting with the cybermen?  It looked liked “Washington Crossing the Delaware”

Is 11 still going to Trenzalore? Could that be where Galifrey now is?

If all 13 regenerations are used what happened to the Valeyard?  Do River Songs Regenerations count?  How many did she give him?  And how come the Master can regeneration as many times as he D@m* well pleases?!?!

Did anyone else notice?  The book 11 is reading in the Tardis is almost the same as the one the Men In Black when they are testing Will Smith and he shoots the little girl in the head for reading quantum mechanics in a bad neighborhood filled with aliens. Back to the future is actually mentioned by name.

Why were the Gallifrian children dancing around a maypole?  Besides the fact the city is at war, would Gallifry have a May or Maypole dance which was a fertility rite and religious celebration?

Also what happened to Leela and the bands of roving warrior tribes?  I saw Time Lord High Council, Regular Time Lords, and some sort of robot warriors as introduced in The Night of The Doctor, but no true warriors.

I don’t understand why Osgood was weak.  She was supposed to be the daughter of a military man.  She should be tough.  The only read I could get on it was that it made her Zygon correspondingly weak.  Or that like in Superman Returns half-breeds have lung-issues and that’s why she has the scarf. Thing about trying to meld a binary and regular cardiovascular system in one person! That would certainly require an inhaler!

I would have liked a better look into John Hurt’s Tardis.  It looked interesting.  BTW, what do we call his character?  Is he 8.5, 8 ver 2.0?, 9,? The war Doctor? The Warlord? Late to dinner?  Whatever we call him, I hope we get to see more of him, even if it’s just flashbacks!

I thought of something else.  We have always called the Doctor the mad man in the blue box.  Did you notice almost all the Doctors wear hats.  The saying mad as a hatter comes from the fact that they used to use mercury to make hats.  The Doctor’s not mad, he just has mercury poisoning.

There were some inconsistencies in Clara’s character too.  Half the time she seem to know the Doctor’s other faces, the other times she didn’t.  Also if she erased the Daleks’ memory of the Doctor in AofD why do they remember him on Gallifry?

The Vortex manipulator in the Tower Vault wasn’t Jack’s.  His code was an oscillating number on the end.  I believe between 2 and 7. (The Stolen Earth)

What happened to everything else that was fighting the Time War?  The Nightmare Child?  The Nevermores?

AND MOST IMPORTANT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ZYGONS?
