Now that we have all now seen Night and Day of the Doctor I'm left confused as to who's who now.
Any body else feel the same ?
Basicly is John Hurts Doctor now the 9th Doctor ? Rather than just the War Doctor.
Of course this now means that Chris is now 10th, David 11th and Matt 12th.
Had Paul not regenerated and Matt at the end saying John cold now use the name " The Doctor " you might have got away with it but now we cant.
Any thoughts ? |
This is the day the Timelords returned.... For Gallifrey.... For Victory.... For The End Of Time Itself....!!! |

It has been confirmed that he is not the 9th Doctor, but does count towards the total, so Mr Capaldi is number 13. |

Bizarrely, it isn't even as simple as that!

Not confused as such. Just looking forward to seeing how this particular plot line plays out.
I love the fact that a 50 year show can basically pull the rug right from underneath the viewer.
Anyone that may get 'angry/upset', I mean really, doesn't quite get what makes Doctor Who so brilliant. |

I agree, but there are a very vocal minority out there that do. You only need to look at some other 'Who' forums to see some of the bile and vitriol that gets thrown about over the most trivial of matters. |

Did is hear a dig at Ecclestone when Hurt said that he hoped the ears wouldn't be so prominent this time? |
If Zygons were green, they'd be gherkins. |

I was at the London Celebration on Sunday, and at the 'DotD' panel this was described by Moffatt as a reference to Eccleston's comment in 'Rose' when he sees himself in the mirror in Rose's flat. Though there is of course more than a little irony about it. |
