Call back to a previous mention of the Time War in the show, I believe 10 mentioned being there when it fell.

New short clip pretty from The One Show this evening much confirms Billie Piper is Bad Wolf, not Rose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkJqHJEx6Yc And the Arcadia video was UK iTunes only, so it's being taken down rather fast. At least the one I posted was only up for about 2 hours.

There are passages from Suetonius and Dio Cassius related to Caligula that I would dearly love to hear him read (especially when Caligula replies to his sister, suffering in exile on his order, 'I have swords as well as islands, you know.')

I loved the Last Day short. I think it neatly captured the horror of the Time War for those people who weren't, you know, Time Lords.

They were time lords, they were on Gallifrey and had the Time Lord symbol on their armour...  And I don't think it captured the horror at all- the precognitions were a nice idea but then it just went to Daleks attacking by flying about and exerminating, as we have seen before. Nothing like the evocative weird hints we have had of the time war from RTD. And the Tom Baker thing has been posted already.

I haven't looked at it in detail, but I'm pretty sure it's the Seal of Rassilon, no? If so, it seems like that would be the equivalent of having a flag on your uniform.

Yes, it's the Seal of Rassilon. That doesn't really tell you anything about the Time Lordiness of those dudes though. I choose to believe that all Gallifreyans are Time Lords but it's not anything that's ever been confirmed on the show.

Someone posted about them actually being broken memories from erased timelines. That could be a terrifying idea if done right.

Yeah, it felt like an intro video to old Command and Conquer games, or for that old Warhammer Final Liberation game.

An Adventure in Space and Time is really good, you guys. David Bradley is absolutely fantastic as Hartnell. And not to spoil anything but I kind of teared up at the very end. I won't even put it in tags, but it's really a great moment.

The uniform of the Time Lords reminds me a little of the armor of the Imperial Guard in 40k. I think the treason they lost is that they did not have any Time Lord Space Marines. Anyway, the visions were a little creepy if they are supposed to be the timeline taking heavy damage by the rewrites of the war. I would have preferred to see the Hurt Doctor there watching as the Daleks break though the defenses knowing that this was the beginning of the end.

I thought The Last Day was pretty okay - nothing groundbreaking or even great, but a fun bit of tone-setting. I think it just looks bad because it came after Night of the Doctor, and anything coming after that would look bad.
