May 19th, 2013 - 9:46pmfrom what I’ve read, he IS the 9th incarnation during the Time War and was the one who destroyed the TimeLords and Daleks. It has been assumed that McGann’s Doctor was the one fighting the War when in actuality he had regenerated and became Hurt. The rest of his incarnations do not consider him worthy of the Title of Doctor and discredit his incarnation and it was Eccleston’s incarnation who reclaimed the Title of Doctor, making him the 10th, Tannant the 11th and Smith the 12th. But where he was discredited it seems that he was non-existent…it’s all confusing really, but the show always has been since day 1. He IS in fact one giant enigma. The one thing I didn’t like in this episode was the use of Smith’s TARDIS interior as the final one. Moffat should have at least changed the interior for the tomb. You know, to some future design not yet seen.

May 19th, 2013 - 9:38pmHe’s not the next doctor, he’s a doctor between the 8th & 9th… or the new 9th.

May 19th, 2013 - 9:12pmSurprise… they showed The Aztecs as the episode with the first Doctor memories on BBC… or did everyone else miss those? 🙂

May 19th, 2013 - 9:10pm…I don’t think Moffat’s done with Clara yet… We need to wait OVER SIX MONTHS though… 🙁

May 19th, 2013 - 8:56pmI think john hurt is the true ninth doctor and he must have fought in the time war.Also anyone see he was wearing ninth s leather jacket and I think eighth s cloths underneath.

May 19th, 2013 - 8:54pmHaha not quite. From what I’ve heard, it’s a secret past regeneration that nobody knew about, from when the doctor did something that was “”in the name of sanity, but not in the name of the doctor”. I’m guessing that maybe John Hurt’s doctor could have been the one that put the time lock on the time lords and the daleks during the time war. Just a guess.

May 19th, 2013 - 8:46pmOh, and the First Doctor because I have not yet seen The Aztecs.

May 19th, 2013 - 8:39pmOh yeah, well spotted 🙂

May 19th, 2013 - 8:37pmExactly mojo! Amy loves her best friend and son-in-law but is not “in love” with The Doctor. Clara knew The Doctor wasn’t himself in Hedgewick’s World of Wonders when he started hitting on her! She is not “in love” with The Doctor any more than Amy is. And B Anonymous, all The Doctor’s companions have been, smart, quirky, strong, vulnerable, brave, and loving. What show have you been watching? Moffat is a genious! I do agree, though, that I though there would be more to Clara. I’m hanging my hat, and my opinion of Moffat’s brilliance, on the 50’th Anniversary special in November. John Hurt!!! I can’t wait!!

May 19th, 2013 - 8:37pmThe best is when she meets the first doctor and talks about the TARDIS. The opening of this ep was epic!

May 19th, 2013 - 7:31pmThe clothing looked more like barbaras. Susan mostly wore sweater and trousers in the first season, while barbara wore a dress.
@Mary: Do you know which episode the shot was taken from?

The Silence
May 19th, 2013 - 6:38pmNotice the white pole things in ‘The Invasion of Time’ pics are in the original 11th Doctor’s TARDIS by the stairs.

May 19th, 2013 - 6:37pmI hate what moffat did he could have done so much more with Clara and have you noticed the personalities of both Clara and Amy are the same both the girls are perky, quirky and in love with the doctor? ( even though the doctor has a wife!)

May 19th, 2013 - 6:23pmWatch the Second Doctor clip, Clara first sees somebody (the Eighth Doctor) but then the Second Doctor runs past her in the other direction and she goes after him.
