Even Incoherent Squealing Has Failed Me

So, the 50th Anniversary Mini-Episode, The Night of the Doctor has gone up a day early:

Watch on YouTube

Oh, God, the one thing I had never dared to hope we would see, and I just saw it. With no bracing time whatsoever, although as soon as I saw lovely Eight I knew this had to be the regeneration. It's just awful and perfect that he dies in that particular way and chooses what he does.

And I thought it could not get any better or more appropriate or more painful and then he said 'Charley, C'Rizz, Lucie, Tamsin, Molly' and that's when I started crying.



I guess it is too much to hope that the 'Moffat doesn't care about the Classic Series!' people on Gallifrey Base will watch this and eat their words, isn't it? (I mean, if Time Crash didn't clue them in, I'm not sure anything can help.)

I ... just ... It now does not matter to me if The Day of the Doctor is any good or not. I mean, it will be nice if it is, but that was really all I needed.

Wow. I only started watching Who this year (now caught up on McGann through Smith, as least as far as the tv stuff goes), but that's enough to get the context of this, and it's fabulous. Can't wait for DotD!

This is certainly a good year to start watching! I'm so looking forward to ... well, whatever we get, really, since this has made me so happy. I really thought we'd never see Eight on screen again.
