What Did You Think of The Time of the Doctor?
What Did You Think of The Time of the Doctor?
Orbiting a quiet backwater planet, the massed forces of the universe’s deadliest species gather, drawn to a mysterious message that echoes out to the stars – and amongst them, the Doctor.
Rescuing Clara from a family Christmas dinner, the Time Lord and his best friend must learn what this enigmatic signal means for his own fate and that of the universe.

Scott’s TARDIS
December 27th, 2013 - 3:34pmCome on guys, this is The Doctor Who Site, not the ‘Slag Every TV Series Apart From Doctor Who Site’, considering the fact that I am also a fan of Mrs Browns Boys. Rant over.

December 27th, 2013 - 3:26pmI have a theroy that may answer why his regeneration was so quick.
When Clara opened the tardis , you saw his cloths all over the floor.
He’d already changed, Clara was seeing him young and perhaps what the tardis wanted her to see. Then being grabbed by peters dr, kinda shaped her out of her trance. Don’t forget he’d gone through a powerful regeneration on top of the tower.

1st doctor: ah yes thank you it’s good keep warm
2nd doctor : no stop your making me giddy! No you can’t do this to me . No no no no no no!

December 27th, 2013 - 3:03pmYes, you did miss something. He explained to Clara that although he calls himself the Eleventh Doctor, he is actually in his Thirteenth, and final body (due to the inclusion of the War Doctor and the ‘Same-body regeneration’ at the beginning of ‘Journey’s End’). Hence, he could not regenerate anymore and was set to die of old age, as he almost did when the Daleks attacked and he had been guarding Christmas for hundreds of years. At the end though, he was given a complete set of twelve new regenerations (thirteen bodies) from the Time Lords, through the crack in time! Peter Capaldi is the first of this new cycle, meaning he has twelve bodies ahead of him. Clearer?
12 doctors
December 27th, 2013 - 2:49pmthe council does give regenerations ……………………………………………………………………………………………………..
12 doctors
December 27th, 2013 - 2:34pmthe 7 doctor got shot but it did a bit of damage.

December 27th, 2013 - 1:41pmThe Doctor didn’t regenerate on Lake Silencio. That was the Teselecta simply putting on a light show, recreating the regeneration effect.
The Doctor did die on Trenzalore, but that time line was re-written, so it never really happened.
Think of it like a long road. This road represents the Time Line of Trenzalore, every so often there are other little roads that branch out of this long road – these are alternate time lines, or possibilities. If you go up one of these smaller ‘possibility roads’, you will find The Doctor died on Trenzalore and the TARDIS was his tomb. But since that was re-written, that road is closed off now, but it was closed off after the Doctor + Clara went there, so it doesn’t create a paradox. Instead, they are now travelling up another small possibility road where the Doctor didn’t die, and all is well.

Defender of Trenzalore
December 27th, 2013 - 1:34pmThat’s ridiculous, he’s barely done anything!

December 27th, 2013 - 1:19pmNo he’s right Moffat did say that in an inerveiw
The astronaut of death
December 27th, 2013 - 1:17pmActually it was not the getting shot that caused the 7th doctor to die it was the medicines that killed him
As human medicine is fatal to time lords

December 27th, 2013 - 12:49pmnot the greatest of deaths

December 27th, 2013 - 12:37pmWhy are people saying the Doctor has 12 more regenerations left? This should be his last and final one. Did I miss something?
This story was a bit confusing to me. Why couldn’t they bring back the Rani and have her steal the Doctor’s TARDIS leaving him stranded to die of old age. She could have intended to borrow it for a bit and bring it back without him knowing, only the time circuits get scrambled and she’s off by a few hundred years. Just a thought.
It was a weird story. Can’t wait to see what the new Doctor chooses to wear! The Doctor typically has chosen his clothes from his immediate surroundings which is more than likely Earth or the TARDIS Wardrobe. So, his new outfit should be a rather Earth like one like the ones we’ve seen before.
Matt Smithy
December 27th, 2013 - 12:30pmlook guys, Moffat won’t forgot the whole TARDIS size leak on trenzalore thing, he will come back to it. He’s the sort of guy that
likes to close plot holes at least some time.

December 27th, 2013 - 11:53amWhat I will never understand is that in the pandorica opens and the time of the doctor it mentions slitheen , sycorax , draconions but it never shows them I mean the sliteen have nt came in Doctor who since 2010 and in the sarah jane adventures they came in since the nightmare man

December 27th, 2013 - 11:42amHow do you go from “The Day of the Doctor” to THAT?? I feel bad for Matt Smith, he didn’t stand a chance with that terrible writing!

December 27th, 2013 - 11:42amI feel sorry for people who just randomly tune in to doctor and don’t get it is getting to the point where you need to watch the whole series to get one episode

December 27th, 2013 - 11:41amIt will be a long time before any of us needs to to think about the we ve still go 12 more doctors to go
The astronaut of death
December 27th, 2013 - 11:40amI think that might have just been the council as the ones in the day the doctor seemed ok
RassilonRocks
December 27th, 2013 - 11:38amwhat was that? you only needed to watch the last 5 minutes i thought i would be upset about 11 (or whatever) regenerating cause i just warmed to him however i could care less by the end but OMG Peter was so good he kinda reminds me of tennant. It is sad though that the only bit of it i really enjoyed was the last 30 secs. matt should have left @ 50th. well only 8 monthish till we see if it get better. It better.

December 27th, 2013 - 11:34amWait I thought the Doctor said in the end of time that the time war changed the time lords
