HERAK posted:And the Doctor knows about the events of children of men from the last time he met Jack. Does he? I don't remember it being mentioned. I know Moffat mentioned Torchwood in the article, I just meant that when he brings it up in the series (and I do wish he wouldn't, it's something that just doesn't need to be explained) he's probably going to refer to Capaldi's previous role in Doctor Who, not its spin-off.

I think the implication is that if he knows to look for Jack far away from Earth, then he knows what happened.

http://www.scottishdailyexpress.co....again-and-again Nothing huge in that per se, more a reading between the lines thing. Davison seems awfully knowledgeable about Moffat specifically doing something about the 12 regenerations thing. And with the rumors of Davison reprising the role of Omega in the 50th special, a episode which would seem to address regenerations with the Hurt thing, that would seem to help the "Davison is in the 50th" idea.

Wait but that would mean there could only be 13 Doctors because if you can only regenerate 12 times... Or is that  ?

Burkion posted:Wait but that would mean there could only be 13 Doctors because if you can only regenerate 12 times... it is indeed. I mean, I assume the fuss is from the fact that Hurt's pseudo-doctor is going to count as another regeneration, making the 12th the 13th, etc, etc. But nowhere does the article mention this.

I think "stop watching" harkens back to RTD's comment about ming mongs, where they would now huffily only watch each episode 29 times instead of 30.

MAJOR SPOILER...When you watch the Web of Fear, the Great Intelligence has met the Doctor not once, but TWICE chronologically before!  Seriously, in some news that seemed to fall under the radar in all the missing episodes hoopla was this that I just read: http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/another-companion-returning-for-50th-53741.htm quote:OK! Magazine may have printed a huge 50th anniversary spoiler (or a shocking mistake) in their latest issue.  DONNA!!!!

The interesting dynamic there would be that 11 would know Donna, but she wouldn't know him, and she'd know 10 but not the chronological version of 10 traveling with Rose

Let's not judge the Hurt plotline before it even happens. I know Moffat has been off the rails a little lately, but we know next to nothing about it, including whether it is even a retcon.

^^^^edit: It's John Hurt, they're just loving with you. But he is a part of the 50th (as far as I know, he's only slated to appear in Day of the Doctor). John Hurt's a fantastic actor and even if his part is just to walk on, say "I'm the real Ninth Doctor. Everything you know about the numbers after Eight is wrong, so take that, continuity nerds. By the way, I brought River back to life and now she's my daughter and cousin as well as my wife. Arrgh, I have stomach pain!" and then an alien pops out of his chest, we'll have had ten seconds of good television. I think it's likely to be a little convoluted, but Moffat could also pull something fun off, you never know.

The scream of the end credits starting just as the Daleks pile out of something and start yelling "EXTERMINATE!" is like the most Doctor Who thing I can think of. I suppose they're just complaining about the actual words "To be continued"? Weird.

I don't think there was ever a text scroll of TBC in the original series, as far as I can remember, anyways. I believe the Hartnell episodes (back when they used to have separate titles for each individual part of a story) used to have "Next Week: <title of individual episode>" just before (or maybe after?) the end credits, but I think they stopped that when they switched to labeling episodes "Part 1" or "Episode 1" or whatever. But beyond that I don't recall ever seeing a "To Be Continued" thing at the end of a given episode/story in any of the older series' episodes. E: Also, "William Hurt" (not picking on anyone, just found it funny)
