It's 12 limit. ;)

I generally agree that the episode was rubbish. The Time Lord arc had a lot of potential and alas it was chewed up and spat out in 30 minutes. Hopefully they will make another showing in the next series.

Yep, 12 is the limit but the Doctor has had a 13th regeneration according to a previous episode arc called "Trial of a Timelord" but something went weird with it.

I assume that was why there was a big to do about him dying as he thought it was the end, yet it wasn't... Hopefully that's cleared up in the first few episodes of the new series!

Think that's more of a goodbye to Tennant and also because it's the last Dr Who that Russell T Davies is working on, so they decided this would be the end so to speak. I think they are even referring to the new series of Dr Who as season 1 and not season 5.
 
yeah they're pretty much rebranding doctor who again, new logo and all that stuff so series 1...again. They don't want to confuse your average joe now :).

I was quite disappointed :(

The start was the worst though, I could not believe I was watching a major BBC1 production, it was awful! The plot made less sense than usual as well, I was most unhappy, good job I had shiny timelords to entertain me and some turkish delight to eat or I would have been very unhappy :mad:

However, I am of course going to watch the second part, it is Dr Who after all, and only smelly poos don't watch Dr Who at Christmas :)

Mushy, contrived, silly nonsense...

I turned on the TV today and there was the Dr Who - The Girl In The Fireplace, now that was a quality episode!
 
In that case they should have just killed him and then started a new series 1 and say it was an alternate universe or something.

Makes no sense now to go back to series 1 nomenclature.
 
Heres another thing about part 2, we hear all about the time war being time locked etc, yet dalek ca'an was able to get davros out of it (albeit multiple attempts) but he didn't suffer from a bungee rope being attached to his ass and being pulled back into it.

And yet we have the TIME LORDS apparently unable to do anything to get out of the TIMElock. :confused:

Timelords? Really?

Think you need to re-watch those episodes. Riversong many times says that Tennant isn't the Doctor she knew, that she sent the message for help to the wrong time and that he hasn't actually met her yet but will.

I watched DW Confidential today and it deffo looked like she recognised him in that form, not a future one.

Does anyone else think that Rose looked a bit weird?

Simply because it was convenient for the plot and it was science fiction little inconvenient plot points like that are usually left unexplained by the writers :(. Happens in almost every sci fi show.

It won't be a reset though.

Also the Doctor made a big fuss to Wilf about it being like him dying each time he regenerates, and he even cried at the thought of it, so I think they explained well enough why he wouldn't want to go.
