Nifty!
It was much better produced than I expected.
Also, nice to see that particular Doctor exhibit more gravity than was present in previous appearances.
Nice one, writers and producers.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Hah. I came here to post it, too.
Several hours late, Daniel.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Apparently, a whole bunch of audio dramas just became canon.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I assume all those names he listed were Companions from the audio drama, then?
Interesting that John Hurt is referred to as "the War Doctor." So he's like Doctor 8.5, so we don't have to change the numbering for everyone? And since this was potion-induced, it doesn't count as one of his thirteen regenerations?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
P-C, I'm pretty sure that last bit of original canon has been handwaved/retconned/whatever into irrelevance.
Also, that was awesome.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That was delicious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Debet, that's still being vigourously debated in places like IO9, and I seem to remember a showrunner comment about it coming up to this next one.

Just got a chance to watch that. Shouldn't he have been turned into 9? Or did I miss another reality-destroying war between the Time Lords and the Daleks?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I would have sworn I had read a showrunner quote that it wasn't a thing, but I am really not at 100% today and may totally be making shit up.

Connie, Nine had just regenerated AFTER the Time War. That's why he was checking out his ears in the mirror in Rose.
