Well if this does turn out to be true then at least it makes sense. He tired to regenerate despite being on his last life because he wasn't real, he was a robot, and since nobody knew the John Hurt doctor existed, the robot people didn't think he was on his last life and assumed he would attempt a regeneration, so they did that to make it more convincing (not sure how they did it though).
Are they considering Rowan Atkinson as a real doctor? Sarcasm. [-(
I think if they'd have ditched all the filler with the Zygons and Elizabeth I and just concentrated solely on the Doctor's dilemma as to whether or not to use The Moment, it could have been much better.
I was disappointed with the Time War as well. When Tennant's Doctor described it as this (from The End of Time):
DOCTOR: "You weren't there in the final days of the War. You never saw what was born. But if the Timelock's broken, then everything's coming through. Not just the Daleks, but the Skaro Degradations, the Horde of Travesties, the Nightmare Child, the Could-have-been King with his army of Meanwhiles and Never-weres. The War turned into hell. And that's what you've opened, right above the Earth. Hell is descending.
All we got to see were Daleks.
The Time of the Doctor
For the regeneration, I'd like something more along the lines of Eccleston where it was sad, but he took it on the chin and went out smiling, rather than Tennant, where he cried about dying while a choir of a thousand shouting people bellowed out melodramatic music in the background.
Spot on. Usually when the Doctor is mortally wounded, his regeneration is almost immediate (The Parting Of The Ways and Journey's End) but with Tennant's, he was able to visit all of his past companions before morphing into Smith. It was the television equivalent of Return Of The King for overblown ending.
"Oh, never mind the TARDIS blowing up, what about the endless, bitter war Kovarian was on about? And what's Trenzalore? And the oldest question in the universe? And what exactly do they mean, silence will fall? Anyway, I'm off to a readthrough..."
"It is a proper finale to Matt Smith. It's the story that we've been telling since he first put the bow tie on - that's what we're going to resolve."
"A lot of stuff we've left hanging we tie up there. And it's Trenzalore!"
This should make for a very different Christmas special.
I like it staying the same and as Mcgann and Hurt both had the regular one I can't see it changing for Smith.
Different - That's what made regenerations something to look forward to in the classic era. You never knew what you were going to get. Still think Peter Davison into Colin Baker is still the best regeneration to date.
I understand if they want uniformity for the new series but they have had a tinker or two with the look of the Tardis, just a shame they can't get their creative juices going to come up with some variety in the regenerations.
That said, as soon as you see the gold effect energy, you know what's coming and it does look good and dramatic.
I saw maybe 2 episodes in the States (Tennant). But I'd love to really watch many.
So my question is (since I will be buying episodes, I am assuming) where should I start? With Peter Davison as doctor? Just a little advice is appreciated. I don't mean to get everybody offtrack here. Thanks.
How many episodes are in each series? Like per year? Just so I can figure this out a bit ...
Here's the page I've been using to keep track of the episodes, it has a list of every episode, per Doctor. Several of the old ones are missing, unfortunately.
You will come to Christmas Town, a place of peace, welcomed by Rob Jarvis and Tessa Peake-Jones.
You will come to Trenzalore, a planet of war.
You will find out where Gallifrey went.
You will discover what the Silence are.
You will see who the voice in the TARDIS was.
The episode will be nine hundred years long.
There will be Daleks, Cybermen and Weeping Angels. Some of them will be wooden. So will The Doctor.
He always has Handles. And grab hold, as you will find out what the hell that crack in space and time actually was. Because The Time Of The Doctor will be going right back to The Eleventh Hour.
Series 8 is said to be split over two years with six episodes and a Christmas special each year, for a total of fourteen. The series is rumoured to begin on 19th April.
For the missing episodes, both Marco Polo and The Massacre Of St Bartholomew's Eve are said to be nearly ready to go.

Interesting how we'll find out where Gallifrey went. I thought that'd be Capaldi's first series, him going to different places picking up clues which would lead him there for the series finale.

Not another split series. Can't we just have a full series of 13 episodes and the Christmas special?
