After a manic effort to finish Season 7 Part 2 before Saturday, I very much enjoyed the anniversary special. What I'd like to know is how much time is meant to have passed between the newly revealed Doctor 9 Hurt and us seeing him as Doctor 10 Ecclestone. Though interesting they are saying it's all Bad Wolf doing a super sort out...
So.... Are we changing the numbering of New Who Doctors now? Or is John Hurt 8.5? Everything is confusing.But also, everything is wonderful. I thought the 50th was four zillion kinds of amazing.
Also, a thought... is John Hurt's Doctor the thing that was in Eleven's room in The God Complex?
Mafia play advice: If you are not content with the way the game is going, always assume that it is your fault.
He doesn't at the start but he does by the end...Has anyone see Galz since Saturday? I wonder if he has exploded out of joy...
John Hurt's doctor doesn't call himself so, that's why he's not included in the Doctor numerals. Also, it's more practical than retroactively naming Eccleston Ten, Tennant Eleven and Smith Twelve.
Derphammering is when quickhammers go derp.
Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

Paul Mcgann died in the spaceship crash during Night of the Doctor. Had he regenerated right then, it (presumably) would've been into Ecclestone (Or rather, the Eighth would've regenerated into the Ninth). However, his body was suspended in death, prior to regenerating, so that he could become the Warrior. At the conclusion of Day of the Doctor, John Hurt proceeded to regenerate because the need of a Warrior was no more, and thus his Eighth incarnation was finally "allowed" to regenerate.

That is not implied at all by "Night of the Doctor". The Sisterhood simply offered control over the regeneration beyond what he normally has - it was still clearly a regeneration, and referred to as such. Moffat has made it extremely clear in interviews that Hurt is a full regeneration and while I guess your interpretation is not contradicted by the events on screen it seems 100% against the obvious meaning of things. I'm also 99% certain we'll get a clarification on this at Christmas.
I assume that they'll have a big thing with Capaldi, possibly finding Gallifrey, and getting extra regens, probably at the end of *his* run, but I doubt they'll waste that before. I assume Christmas is going to have The Silence, the big "Dr. WHO" question, Transillor, and some battle where he dies but then of course gets out of it somehow.
You would think Moffat would be a little more creative with these titles...:The Name of the DoctorThe Night of the DoctorThe Day of the DoctorThe Time of the Doctor

Great.
Guarantee it will involve the Daleks as well...
No, I read some sort of synopsis where all these guys, including the Doctor, were to fight yet another enemy.
