Doctor Who 8x00 The Time of the Doctor  
Did I hear that right, that guy is Clara's dad? They recast him?

I don't understand Clara's reaction to the Doctor's "Everybody's naked underneath". I don't understand the recent trend of just generally declaring bodies disgusting that I've seen on TV. Also, I hope we'll find out why the Doctor was naked. If it was just for this "joke", I'll be disappointed.

Oh, they continued the joke. Still not a good reason.

I can't believe they're just going somewhere else. What, will Clara come back to her family Christmas with Twelve?
Gallifrey?! ...Well, that was easier than we thought.
The Doctor doesn't even mention that it lookes different.
Ah, finally a reason for the nakedness!

Yay, a Silent! Things will make sense!

Aw, snow. A snowy little town on Gallifrey.
Snow Angels, how super creepy!

Haha, I didn't think they'd actually acknowledge the fact it's a wig!

What, do they celebrate Christmas on Gallifrey?
So the Doctor doesn't find anything weird about the place and there's the way he says he's from Gallifrey - does that mean he doesn't believe that this is Gallifrey? Or did I understand something wrong earlier?

Ah, the crack, finally! I can't wait for this all to make sense.
Aaah, finally the Doctor asks the Cyberman head why it said Gallifrey. Because Gallifrey is coming through the crack! I'm so glad that the planet mystery is solved.
Oh shit, a question. Silence will fall. ...So that's why that's the question!

Oh, Trenzalore! Of course. Wow, looks nicer than I remember it! But it probably won't for much longer.

"Silence will fall." Well, that was anticlimactic.

Actually visibly aged Doctor!
I'm disappointed that the Sonic Screwdriver does wood. ...Oh, it doesn't. So the Cyberman shooting itself was bullshit. รด_o

Oh, the TARDIS finally comes back. What took it so long?
Ah, it's been 300 years. The last time he aged that much it wasn't that visible.
Oh wow, Clara clung on. I think we haven't seen that done since Captain Jack!

Whoa, I can't believe how close I am to crying for a Cyberman!

OH MY GOD! So Ten's regeneration in Journey's End actually does count?! Or does the Doctor just think it does? Holy shit, that makes Ten's "I don't want to go" really painful, he thought it would be the last time he'd regenerate! Does that mean the episode will end with the Doctor bringing Gallifrey back and as thanks he'll get more regenerations?

Daleks in disguise, creeepy!
The Kovarian chapter. God, things are finally coming together. And they blew up the TARDIS.
Oh, Tasha is still alive? Seriously, for someone accused of being a sexist, it's a stupid idea to go fucking trolling with that topic. Dammit, Moffat.

The Doctor and the Silence fighting together, that's so weird!

Hey, there's a drawing of the Empress of the Racnoss.
Seriously, it's mostly good age-make up, but why not under the eyes? The eyes are always a giveaway.
Hahaha, of course the Doctor likes knock-knock jokes. XD

The Time Lords sent regenerations! Or one at least.
Whoa, remember to stand back when the Doctor regenerates! ...Funny thing how the Doctor kills Daleks with life, huh.

I'm glad they didn't make this regeneration emotional. I wasn't sad about Eleven leaving before now and I don't want to have to try and resist being sad.

What, he's still there? Oh, right, he's young again, didn't notice that. Good thing Clara pointed that out, ha! Shit, so it will be emotional.

Amy! Karen is also wearing a wig, I suspect. Or was this before she cut her hair? I hope it was after, because the idea of both of them wearing wigs amuses me.
Whoa, that was fast! Hello Twelve! Didn't they have the money to make another regeneration effect? Was it too complicated with these different faces?


Wow, I liked this episode! It's the first Christmas episode in ages that I liked! I'd say it's my second-favorite Christmas ep, 2x00 The Christmas Invasion is still my very favorite.
