For anyone who might wonder what it means that Clara showed the First Doctor which TARDIS to take, when other mythology was established/retconned in The Doctor’s Wife, Neil Gaiman addressed that on his tumblr. Take a look at http://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/50849488198/how-do-you-feel-about-moffat-retconning-on-how-the for what he said.

[...] The first panel of the weekend was Gallifrey 101, which I didn’t attend, as a third year Gally attendee. The Friday highlight for me was the live recording of one of my favourite Doctor Who podcasts, Radio Free Skaro. They interviewed Camille Coduri, Barnaby Edwards, Simon Fisher-Becker, Toby Haynes, and Gary Russell. I can’t possibly describe (or remember) everything that was said, but the episode is available on their podcast feed (#295). [...]

The McGann body double runs past Clara right before the Troughton footage lifted from “The Five Doctors”.

This is the shot in animated gif format:

I have seen the finale four times now, where do you see the 8th Doctor? All the other doctors are given good screen time, but I don’t see McGann anywhere?

Thank you Warren (voice of reason) for the talk of including old Doctors, even if the quality was not up to today’s standards. We have a 1080p, blu-ray HD program that has such a long history that the beginning years are in BLACK AND WHITE! To incorporate EVERY Doctor should trump any complaint about video quality.

Warning: I mean the next bit in a positive tone, and not a negative way at all…
This episode was the BEST fan-fic version of Doctor Who that could have been made. Steven Moffat, as we all know, was a legitimate fan before even beginning his work with the actual show; he even had his own ideas (or fan-fic) started before knowing he would ever see the show again on TV. To incoporate every Doctor in an episode is every fan’s dream, and to play with time so much and completely re-write Doctor Who (without having it completely blow up into a terrible mess) shows how much a die hard fan can completely wrap himself up in this historical show.

Anywho, thanks for another episode! Now to enjoy summer and hopefully wake up in Novemeber relatively soon…

I watched the season 7B finale & loved it, now have to wait 6 months for 50th Anniversary special which is the continuation of “The Name of The Doctor”

BTW: Denmark won Eurovision, my lady friend kept me updated live as she was watching it.

Wow – my favourite episode of season 7B. The cliff hanger about the significance of the Doctor’s name fits in with what we have been told before. In A Good Man Goes to War, we are told that the Doctor means healer throughout the universe because of his benevolent influence throughout history. But we are also told that the meaning of the word Doctor was changing to that of great warrior because the vengeful and less merciful aspects of the Doctor’s personality were now becoming widely known. It also explains why the Doctor was deleting references to him throughout history. The Doctor has said previously that he did that because he was getting known as the Oncoming Storm and therefore “was becoming too big”. The Doctor did not want his secret to get out. This also fits in with the Doctor’s admission that “The Doctor lies”. I hope the 50th Anniversary episode and what follows in season 8 builds up on this.
