I rewatched the last couple episodes to lead into the new one, and something struck me in Night of the Doctor, not sure if I missed something or not - the Timelords have been asking "Doctor who?" through the crack to make sure they've got the right place before they come through. Then Clara convinces them to help the Doctor, so they must know they've got the right place and they... give him a new regeneration cycle. Is there a reason they didn't instead/also come through at that point? (I mean a reason given that I missed, not "can we come up with one.")

Psybro posted:Hey that reminds me, in Time of the Doctor, the Doctor is trying to use a Cyberman head to translate a message that he can't translate but pretty much every other race in the universe has sussed out. I didn't see anybody correct this yet (although I may have missed it) -- that's not what happened at all, they were all there despite not being able to translate the message. Then when Handles translated it, (which he can only do because the Doctor gives him the Seal of the High Council of Gallifrey to use to decode it) he explicitly says that the translation will be available to everyone nearby. It's not that everyone but the Doctor has translated it. It's that him translating it made the translation available to everyone.

Marty! You're not thinking fourth-dimensionally! You'd be pouring the same one, not another one!
