Night of the Doctor

This is going to sound weird, but this short is why I decided to try watching Doctor Who. The only movie/TV website I trust/respect (Dark Horizons) posted this video and freaked the gently caress out about it. Like, lost their minds over it. So I watched it, and thought it was funny, yet dark and serious. Because of this, I started reading into the 50th. I loved the idea that a series existed that had this level of passion. And rewarded fans in the way this video did. So I figured I'd try the first episode of the most recent Doctor (at the time), Matt Smith. After watching Eleventh Hour, I was a lost cause.

So the absolute least you can say about this video is that it added one fan. Good on it.

I have a question about Time Lords. In Classic Who, when he ran into other Time Lords, was it through various times in each other's history? Would he meet the Master, who had memories of run ins that the Doctor hadn't actually done yet? When he went back to Gallifrey, was it some how removed from time and they always, say, aged at the same rate? Or, wait, actually never mind, that's not possible after the 50th.

The concept of the Time War confuses me. How did only the War Doctor experience it, if it was happening at all times?

"Shut up and don't over think it," is a perfectly valid answer, by the way.

It's "Time locked." I think that you're only capable of visiting Gallifrey in their "current" time.

So, like, if 2 Doctors ever decide to go to Gallifrey, they're going to be there at the same time whether they like it or not?

I can't wait for Toxx to get to the next few episodes (mainly the 50th). Stupid E3.

Having read the Toxx thread's write up of Time of the Doctor, I found myself wanting to rewatch some 12th Doctor episodes, and am quite annoyed that they're still not on Netflix. When do they usually show up? Shortly before the new season?

shock as british television programme uses british summer time to release trailers

I'm not saying I wasn't dumb for not thinking of it. I was just surprised when I saw it, after seeing the 7PM message. It was a real, "Oh, right, duh" moment.
