The Day of the Doctor - My thoughts (MAJOR SPOILER WARNING)


So after a few years of speculation, teasing, an amazing trailer, and last week's overload of Doctor Who programs and such, we have finally been able to say "I've seen the 50th Anniversary special". But, I do have a couple things to say about the special myself. I do like the chemestry of John Hurt, and Matt Smith and David Tennant, and his return to Doctor Who was totally well recieved. But there were a couple issues with continuity that honestly didn't sit well with me, to be honest. If anything, this didn't really feel like a 50th anniversary special, save for the fact that we had an AMAZING cameo from the great Tom Baker, which sort of made up for that aspect of the special for a little while, but my main problem, is that the special mostly relied on stock footage, and random props to acknowaldge the 50th Anniversary, which in my opinion, is just bull.

But besides that, I find that the special was good, despite the flaws I've stated. I mean, it's still gonna take a rewatch or two for me to fully understand the special, and see my thoughts on it. But from what I do remember of the special, it was pure genius.
