Oh great, you just spoiled IT for me! Thanks!

I hadn't noticed that. Thanks.

Other Doctors have used guns. Peter Davison used them twice that I can remember in relatively major ways. So I guess it falls under each Doctor having a different personality. Tennant's Doctor was somewhat defined by his hatred and refusal of guns. The new Doctor may not - and I think this is correct to do - be…

Tegan…she was cute, though slightly annoying. Peri was also annoying at first, but…now she was hottness. I saw an interview with the actress recently and godDAMN, she still looks good.

In the moment I was surprised that they did name him to be Rassilon, but it sat fine with me. I guess I figure he just went (even more) batshit what with the time war and all. I guess that was the point - we never knew exactly why the Doctor killed his own people until this episode. They went apeshit. So I guess…

Clam, I think they just somehow do a good job with the emotional aspects of the show. The premise of the show is actually pretty ridiculous. But they've handled the emotional connection very well. Moffat is particularly good at that - his two parter with the gas mask "Are you my mommy?" was the first time I…

This reminds me of a joke one of the producers made about another producer regarding spoilers, saying he was so against spoilers that he was against transmitting the show at all.

Were this episode not so well done in the emotional department and with the quiet moments, I think - after thinking about it - that it wouldn't have been very good at all. The threats were dispatched too easily - Gallifrey in the sky, Time Lords coming back, "Master race" and all that. But the episode was obviously…

Tennant did similar shit when he regenerated, though not surprised he had eyes and a nose. I think Doctor's are always a bit insane right when they regenerate. I was more bothered in a way that the Doctor releases enough energy to pretty much destroy the TARDIS - which I actually loved, by the way; now they…

Tom Baker will always be my Doctor; I grew up with him. But Tennant was…much more "my" Doctor in that I made an emotional connection with him. I will miss him and the episode did a good job of making me excited to see a regeneration but also quite sad to see it.

I liked it. It echoed who the Doctor had become, someone would could do "so much more." And a bit of audience surrogate there as well. Not the same circumstance as Eccleston's Doctor, who I'd admit had a better regeneration line. But this Doctor had just re-killed his people - including who may have been his…

RTD has a thing for making these huge things that don't really pay off. I mean, the threat of Gallifrey coming through doesn't feel like such a threat. Likely because we've seen RTD pull this shit before and we know the Doctor will stop it and it is dispatched with very quickly here, which I think was a good thing. …

It was long. When the Doctor basically died in the chamber and I saw there were 20 minutes left, I knew it wasn't going to be a "usual" regeneration. But it was done well, I agree. I loved the emotional moments; they were brilliant and spot on and made up for any of the pumped up "big" moments. All in all, I loved…

I thought it was fine. He's saying goodbye; he's not offering them anything terribly profound, though he does save the lives of Martha & Mickey and Luke Smith. And he gives Captain Jack a moment of possible happiness - even if it is just a moment.

I have high hopes as well. "Geronimo" is silly but then again, so it "allons-y". But I like what I've seen so far, he seems to have plenty of potential. And, in the end, the fact that this show has that ability - to change actors and keep going - is a pretty amazing thing.

The papers had reported that it was the Doctor's mother but it wasn't stated in the show. In the commentary released for the episode, RTD and another producer more or less say that it is his mother; when he shoots the diamond thingy and dooms the Time Lords, they state that his mother will die. Which is pretty dark…

There's a Doctor Who Confidential episode titled "The Eleventh Doctor" where Moffat talks about casting the guy and RTD talks at length about how finding out who Moffat casted made him jealous to be leaving the show. I'm not sure where one can see episodes of Confidential - I downloaded it - but I'm almost positive…

I can't disagree; I think Tom Baker admits that he got bored in the role. But I think he was quite good up until around when Sarah Jane left. There are a few good Leela stories, but you're basically right, the second half of his tenure is not great. But when he was good, he was very good.

Dick Cheney said fuck in the Senate and we still can't say that on TV. Though maybe that's the reason why we say fuck too much. It's also why it's now okay to shoot people in the face and get them to take the blame for getting shot in the face.

Well, yeah, the guy's fucking website is "www.gallaghersmash.com".
