    Default Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special

    Will anyone else be glued to the TV or at their local theatre seeing this too?

    I suggest watching the simulcast, just because it's commercial free, and who knows if the version they will play in the evening is cut the same way. But knowing BBCAmerica, they tend to trim little bits of DW so that they can accomodate commercials...

    Neat for everyone everywhere (at least on this planet in this temporal moment) to get to see DW at the same time. The little touches, as usual, were the best: the hook back to the 10th Doctor's offhand remark about marrying Bess, the fez, bad wolf, the curator....

    It was great. For serious fans, lots of questions left. Really, I want a Billy Piper interface - please

    It was Awesome! With the original show intro, the return of Zygons, all 13 doctors and the Tom Baker cameo.

    Loved how the contract between the humans and the zygons was imposed under idealized John Rawlsian conditions. Also great to see Tom Baker again. No Martin, you can't have a Billy Piper interface. You'll put the universe out with that thing!

    So many nice subtle touches...Clara teaching at Coal Hill School with Headmaster Ian Chesterton, Bad Wolf, "Who ... nose", and so much more!

    Am I the only one who thought it was more than just a tiny bit crap.
    Very disappointed.

    I didn't think it was crap, but I didn't really like it as a 50th anniversary special. I don't like inserting a new Doctor in like that.

    I find that if you'd want a story to meet your own expectations you ought to write it yourself.
