Well, was that enough for you???

I lost count... first there were two, then three, four, twelve, thirteen if you count crossed timelines...

Totally awesome, and completely unexpected, I gotta say.

Its the 720p mkv, 2.2Gb, but a smaller one should be up very soon. I'll probably grab both, since the MacBook is on holiday chewing up my ex's bandwidth right now.

Yes, that may have been enough Fulvio!

Production and special effects certainly have come a long way since the early days!

BAH! Only the HD version got posted so far, so I had to resort to watching it on the ABC.

Kinda neat the way various loose threads were neatly tied off, including the exhausted regenerations (though I seem to have misplaced one somewhere... I demand a recount!).

One question though...

Since both of them had to be naked to go to church, how come Clara's family didn't notice her clothes were illusionary when he sent her home?

triplewitch · December 26, 2013, 11:48:00 PM

The first time she never went to her home. She was frozen on the outside of the Tardis. I believe she changed into her clothes at some point upon her return to Trenzalore because she is seen wrapped in a blanket when the Doctor is showing her the sunrise and in her regular clothes after that, not the clothes she was wearing when she was naked. At any rate we never saw her reception immediately upon returning home with the turkey. We only saw a scene when the family was eating it with her prior to her second return to Trenzalore.
I think they're off on the regenerations too, but it's only a story. The second Doctor may not have technically regenerated (his appearance was changed but he never faced death), and the fourth Doctor was revived from the dead in the same form by the Sisterhood of Karn.
The Time Lords allowed the Master additional regenerations for doing much less.
It occurs to me that we still don't know the identity of the woman who initially gave Clara the Doctor's telephone number.

River Song, of course.

That's always been my suspicion.
