*waves* Hey there! Just watched the special late and oh god, I'm also very confused and mixed-feelings-ish. There are things I just DON'T GET and I don't know if it's me being stupid or they just aren't explained ( ... )

Oh I think there's plenty that just isn't that well explained.

Yeah, really hope they explain this at some point.

Yes really appreciated all of the nods to classic Doctors, even though I'm not that far into my classic Who watch. It's what an anniversary special should do. The Tom Baker thing...I think it was deliberately vague. Some people think he was supposed to be an older Four somehow, others think he was just a character played by Tom Baker, which is what I think.

Yeah, plot wise, not the strongest episode, but apparently stronger than some other anniversary episodes. I think the Hurt Doctor was supposed to be the huge secret. I am not sure what the Silence wanted, but hopefully that will be addressed in the Christmas special. I do wonder how long was supposed to have elapsed between the two episodes, but I guess we'll never know, just like we'll never know how the Zygon thing resolved.

Thanks! Glad someone enjoyed. Just had to discuss with someone.

Re: classics: Have you seen Adventure of Space and Time? :)
Yeah, explanations were done fast, it was all so full…
The tribute was fantastic, indeed! :D And from what I could hear Four is a rather cryptic Doctor, so that would be fitting. ;)
Silence will fall at Christmas… oh dear, I can't wait :D
(And yes! The Zygons. Apparently they made a cool treaty, like with the Silurians except this one worked out. Idk. It just blurred straight into the background.)
And it was very nice seeing your thoughts! :)

Yes, really enjoyed An Adventure in Space and Time. I wasn't sure I would since I haven't seen that much classic Who.

So much stuff in such a short time. This has a lot of re-watch potential.

Interesting. Haven't gotten to Four yet. Still stalled in the middle of my selected Two serial. Things have been busy for me lately with the holidays :P

Eeek! Looks like it's going to be a big deal. And they're going back to Tranzalore, so I guess we'll see if Silence Falls or not.

I know, details. Who needs to wrap them all up ;)

Glad you enjoyed :)

Good for you! :D All the Hartnell feels.
There certainly is!!! I really should rewatch the special to come to terms with some parts and see them with a cooler, more distant eye but atm I'm too addicted to classic!Who for that ;)
Ah, I understand. I stayed halfway through an episode for nearly two months lately, lol ;) Making better progress now though, and I should reach Two before the end of the year :D
Ahhh, the Silence :D God, I'm so hyped about this.
*dismissive hand gesture*
