Is that even possible considering she appears in multiple incarnations in more than one single episode? She's in A Good Man Goes To War as a baby and as an adult so it would be set both before and after The Wedding of River Song, and she's a child and two distinct adults in The Impossible Astronaut?

watch it three times

Well poo poo, no wonder I'm single.

What you're not seeing is that photo was taken with the camera upside-down. The ground is at the top of the shot.

Well here's the thing, if you get the Cyberman mentality right then anything that improves survival, no matter how slow or clunky it might make you, as long as it keeps you alive better, should be considered an upgrade.

Pretty hard not to associate the 11th Doctor's theme with the revival seeing as we had a good four years where it was half of every episode's music.

I was expecting to see pictures of the past Doctors when Clive was showing Rose the pics. I think that seeing a shot of Tom, Jon or Patrick would've been so much better than what they used.

Some bad opinions from the distant past. A bunch of different guys would have made no sense to Rose, what made her pay attention was that it was obviously Nine in all of them.

I really like the bit at the end where Rose mourns over the remains of Earth.

But I thought neither he nor Kasran knew about it? Until she only told Kasran at the end of the last night she could be out and about.

That sucked and I hated it.

This is my exact sentiment. It's my second favourite of the Moffat Christmas specials.

I do worry that Clara will outstay her welcome like Amy and Rory did. I was getting a little misty eyed at the end before the swerve and I can't imagine a better ending for her than what was just teased.

Hi, welcome to last season. Glad you could make it.

Not finding Gallifrey's got to be real, though, right? If it was a dream crab he'd have dreamed himself Gallifrey and got lost there forever.

I doubt it's coming back. The modern design does something similar with the blue wibbly bit inside the eyeball though.

I'd agree with you about the science if an attempt had not been made to explain anything, because "it's an egg!" was clearly supposed to make it all perfectly clear and instead raised more questions than it answered.

"Why is the moon growing"

"Because the moon's an egg and it's gestating".

There. That's pretty goddamn clear. Any further "questions" raised are... they're meaningless. They're fan-wank. They're an attempt to take an outrageous, but thoroughly intended, counter-factual premise, and rationalize it. Make thematic logic subservient to the real-world laws of physics.

It's a line of thinking that's totally without merit.

But that's not how eggs work and literal children were pointing that out at the time.

Wait, I'm confused. Vengeance on Varos is actually good? Or is it just a joke recommendation that everyone but me gets?

Right, it's just that from that bit in the Five Doctors Reboot where Colin Baker forces his family to watch it, I was kind of taking away that it wasn't very good. I'll have to watch it then, all I know about it is it's the one where Six murders two people by dropping them in a pool of acid then drops a cool one-liner.

Be warned, you know how the classic series of Doctor Who had a budget of five pounds (and the Head of Drama wanted the change back) per YEAR? Well Blake's 7's production crew used to look wistfully over at Doctor Who and say,"If only we had all of their resources."

From the other side of the same quarry, usually.
