It's not much of a leap at all but I wouldn't say it's canon. People seem to be presenting it as a fact and not a logical assumption.
I just think in Doctor Who assumptions like that can be proved wrong all the time.

Maybe not, perhaps I wasn't paying enough attention, I never remember what order the names come in opening credits unless they have faces or graphics attached and when it comes to the eyes I just saw what I was expecting to see.
I didn't notice when they added Tara to the opening credits of Buffy either (SPOILER ALERT)…

"Added to which, flat-out ordering them to their deaths would be totally against everything Danny professed throughout series 8."
I agree with all that but he is still ordering them to their deaths, he has the bracelet on they have no choice but to do what he says.
He may be delivering his awesome speech to the people…

Oh yea, I forgot that.
I assumed he was in the 3W building for some reason, I think that's because Clara talked to him in that building last episode which I assumed was set in the future and Missy had Danny's body moved there.
I'm not crazy am I? The first part was definitely made to seem like it was set in the future?…

Yea I would.
In fact I thought that's what happened to the Brigadiers daughter at first and totally accepted it.
Once you reach terminal velocity it's not different if you fall 20 stories or 200 or out-of-a-plane and people have survived that.
As long as the story works on a narrative/character level I couldn't care less…

Solid fluff

Seasons/Series order:

"But they went nowheres."
Because it's the journey that matters not the destination, going back to the resurrection of the show in 2005, none of the ongoing plot threads have had much of an explanation in the end, it's just a way off put the character threw an interesting mystery, like Lost.
Although I personally don't…

They also changed the eyes at the end to her's instead of the Doctor's. Unfortunately both of these were so subtle I missed the until someone pointed it out and I re-watched the credits for a third time, so they could have probably not bothered and saved budget.

"There was his first wife on Galifrey"
Was there though? Everyone else posting about his wives seems to be assuming this but is it ever canon?
It's entirely possible Susan's grandmother was a Gallifreyan prostitute or just someone the Doctor didn't marry.
Do Time Lords even take wives? Surely the marriage vows can't be…

I usually hate fan-fiction/fanwankary but that story is awesome, I could imagine it being a legitimate part of Time Lord pop culture.
Which is something I wish more sci-fi shows would focus on, the popular entertainment of alien species.
It's seems it's either always myths and legends or an obvious satire of western pop…

Doctor Who is just like a non-comedy version of 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy', realism and science isn't really a high priority.

They would have seen all the dead people rising from their graves on the news, after that it must seem pretty normal.
That's assuming she speaks to his parents at all and doesn't just drop him off and run.

It was clearly a Margaret Thatcher dig and not the first one the show has made.

No, they only erased they year he took over the earth, but he was still elected ministerial and killed outside of the year that got erased.

Yea but he could just throw in another reset in a couple of years.
I don't like it either, espeailly when it would be so easy to set this story in the near future (maybe it was, do we know for sure when Day of the Doctor was set?).
At least he does it less than Russell T Davies, I would love it if they actually stuck…

Meh, it just takes time to kick in. You have to give Doctor Who the benifit of the doubt when it comes to big speeches.
Technically his entire speech was pointless anyway, as the Cybermen has not choice but to follow his orders but it was all just an excuse for Moffat to write a cool speech.

Yea, this is what I assumed too.
I saw a lot of people commenting on the Doctor Who facebook page with things like "Why was Danny special? Why was he the only one to resist his programing? Plothole! Wawawaaa!" but clearly they missed the bit with the Brigadier at the end.
We can assume that Danny and the Brigadier…

But killing isn't an un-Doctor thing to do, so you're point doesn't stand.
My vegan brother thinks the Doctor is very hypocritical anytime he mentions his anti-murder stance considering he eats fish fingers and custard.
But he's killed several sentient creatures before and left even more to die, so it's clear the Doctor…

I disagree, I think him choosing not to exercise that authority is just as poignant has him using it.
It would have been a waste if he was given all that power and never had the chance to use it but, just like being handed the cyber-army at the end of the episode, the point was that he didn't accept or use the great…
