Spoilers Ahead
To put it simply, the mini-episode was amazing. I haven't even seen the TV Movie but in six minutes Paul managed to convince me that he was thoroughly worthy of being a Doctor. I love how the first half is a twist on the scenario of The Doctor finding a potential companion, sweeping the off their feet and taking them to his TARDIS, complete with the "bigger on the inside reaction". And the way he stays on the ship as it is crashing says so much about this Doctor in a really clever way. I am so pleased that we all finally know how 8 regenerated, too. The Sisterhood of Karn were an interesting presence too. I'm starting to think they may be the way round the regeneration limit - maybe they give Hurt unlimited regenerations for fighting or something. Apparently there was a line about the Big Finish audios too, which is a nice way of "canonising" them. I hope the BBC consider doing more with Paul McGann, because he has a lot of potential. Anyway, what were your thoughts on this episode? Personally, I now know for a fact that the 50th is in good hands, and am sure there will be more surprises in store for fans. 87.102.91.126talk to me 17:14, November 15, 2013 (UTC)
