But now in a sense the big question has been confused. From The Name of The Doctor, Hurt as the Doctor was the one who broke the promise. But it seems to me that what this episode shows is that McGann as the Doctor chose to become a "Doctor" who would break the promise, who would not be "The Doctor." Perhaps I am taking the dialogue to literally. Or perhaps, as I said before, the big speech, the big explanation, is being saved for Hurt.[[User:Phil Stone|Phil Stone]] [[User talk:Phil Stone|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:53, November 18, 2013 (UTC) | But now in a sense the big question has been confused.

:No I felt the same. That line and decision totally confused the issue of who broke the promise, I don't think just sticking the word "war" on front of the word "doctor" really significantly modifies the meaning of the latter word which is the promise and I was confused by the suggestion if the Doctor didn't take one of the sisterhood's potions he would just die and the Doctor's story would end with his eight incarnation. But then story is really powerful and impressive.[[User:DCT|DCT]] [[User talk:DCT|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:57, November 18, 2013 (UTC) | |||
If you haven't already seen the 1996 TV Move, I really suggest you do. There are a number of general complaints made about the movie, in fact at times that seems to be all that people do about this, but don't be fooled - the movie is and always has been very much a part of the TV series, and if you can put the occasional contradiction behind you (things like the Doctor's "half-human" comment) you'll find an enjoyable and entertaining adventure there. | If you haven't already seen the 1996 TV Move, I really suggest you do.
