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.

January 4th, 2014 - 8:43pmHe has 11 cus he used one on Capaldi.
He got the new cycle and went young but he was still old and then her regenerated so its 11 left

January 4th, 2014 - 7:22pmThe Five Doctors: the TARDIS couldn’t escape because it was one of their own and could easily be frozen, they have done it before and Rassilon did appear wearing the coronet (despite Borusa having one)so he could over-ride Borusa’s one, apart from the Brigadier’s head! Kamelion seemed to sitting in a position as he did in “The King’s Demons”. And only a mad man with box (or Barbara Woodhouse) would take him walkies”. The final one, if a machine can be devised to travel through time and space I doubt that everything else would not have been taken into consideration. The mathematic/scientific/interstellar engineering calculations would compensate for something as simple as magnetic fields within space time co-ordinates. Over 10 million years of evolution of a higher species on the verge of becoming a new species existing of thought and no need of bodily form would overcome magnetic fields. The conclusion has to be the TARDIS was is for repairs and was wonky. Why couldn’t Steven Moffat simply have said that? Douglas Adams would.

January 4th, 2014 - 6:14pmMatt Smith, despite being the Eleventh Doctor, is still the result of the twelfth regeneration. The twelve regenerations/thirteen lives rule has been established since the 70’s, Moffat just found a way around it. I doubt he’ll cancel the show considering he’s been a fan since the 60’s. As for why Matt Smith left, I don’t know. However, even though he was a great Doctor, the show has to move on, and Peter Capaldi is what it’s moving on to.

January 4th, 2014 - 6:11pmThey explained why she wasn’t there. Her chapter broke away and went rogue.

January 4th, 2014 - 4:55pmIt’ll be something to do with temporal distortion on a magnetic field with spacial co-ordinates hidden from the computing devices of a type 40 TARDIS. Or something.

January 4th, 2014 - 4:48pmI made my three own Doctor Who Episodes up…
The Infinite Plot
The Newly Regenerated Doctor and Clara join The Paternoster Gang on a Case on a Murderous plot that will destroy all of humanity…
(New Monster)
Seek, Locate, Exterminate Part One:
Clara and The Doctor, Who still doesn’t know how to fly his TARDIS, crash lands on Earth in the Year 2014, to find the human race crushed by the Daleks!
(The Daleks)
The Extermination of the Daleks Part Two:
The Doctor, Clara and the the Survivors embarks on a quest to Skaro to correct time!
(The Daleks)

January 4th, 2014 - 4:47pmFive Doctors – The TARDIS couldn’t escape…
As for Kamelion, perhaps, in an unseen adventure, he managed to escape the confines of TARDIS corridors. Maybe the Doctor took him out for “Walkies”…?

The Time Lords gave The Doctor more regenerations in this special in order for 11 to regenerate, so CALM DOWN!!
LOL

January 4th, 2014 - 1:58pmJessica Hynes was only in twice because the characters were related and it made sense.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
January 4th, 2014 - 1:43pmJust realised MADAME KOVARION should’ve been in there!
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
January 4th, 2014 - 1:41pmTARDIS proof is a good idea, but Moffat has a habit of saying things that sound cool but not explaining sometimes.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
January 4th, 2014 - 1:40pmI see your point, and I don’t mind Strax, but when the Sontarans popped up in the TTOTD they looked like Strax, and didn’t act as good as they did in series four. Not every Sontaran has to look like Strax! Staal didn’t!

January 4th, 2014 - 1:01pmOh dear, oh dear: AGAIN! that’s cruel, even for them .Naughty, naughty Time Lords. Sit on the step time. Besides ,they would also have to deal with Clara’s memory, which we now know is vast, not to mention that of the TARDIS who has proven herself to be a right leery one when annoyed.

January 4th, 2014 - 12:47pmSorry, besides which, the First Doctor did state that his people had reduced things of science “to a game for children” on his planet. However he could have been telling one of his porkies way back then as well; after all he was well known for it : TARDIS fluid link as an example. I suppose we will never know!
Obsie
January 4th, 2014 - 12:41pmIt is a very good thought. We know the TARDIS can extend an atmospheric field to let people see things with their own eyes rather than rely on a scanner, or in Rory’s dads case Brian, have picnic on the step in “Dinosaurs on…” Also as demonstrated in the 50th, two Doctors using the same sonic; one reversing the polarity while the other sonic reverses the action of the first one therefore it has no effect on the portal. However, considering the VERY long history of the Time Lords I doubt that magnetics would be problem for them; arrogance yes but magnets; after all holding a black hole in stasis is no mean feat (I assume).

January 4th, 2014 - 12:27pmYES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
I don’t think Steven Moffat has been doing AN AMAZING job as – well – his job. He has changed Doctor Who SO badley, that now EVEN OLD PEOPLE have to watch the new eps. to join up the dots… well I s’pose thats why people make TV shows.. to get views… BUT STILL

January 4th, 2014 - 12:24pmI THINK SO – Either the TARDIS has some kind of magnetic atmospere that would surround it ( which would make sense considering when you open a TARDIS door in space it allows you to breath, although it’s triggered by somthing else that might help ) Well, if it DOES have a magnetic atmospere then you know how magnets retract from each other?? Well, what if some kind of technoligy had made the other magnetic pull. That could lock the TARDIS OUT. I think… just a thought..

January 4th, 2014 - 12:20pmHa Ha the Fat in the Sky – LMAO – Thats awesome. I WOULD TOTALLY WATCH THAT.
