Fuckitybye seems more suitable for the eventual end of Capaldi's run imo.

No that one should be

|OT| You cannot fuck me. I am unfuckable. I have never been fucked, and if you try and fucking fuck me you'll find my fucking arse will fucking grow fucking fangs and fucking snap your fucking cock off.
 
Received my Day of the Doctor BluRay. First time I have seen Blu-Ray and Bl-Ray 3D on the same disc. I put it int my Xbox One and my Xbox died.
 
I think Smith's last words will be
I'm ready to go
. After the 50th, that would be a great way of showing that he's "grown up".

How about:
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Now that's grown up.
 
Can we put fuck in a title? Also what's the reference?

I'd say make the title an homage to Smith. Which is why I liked Fez of the Doctor, or something similar.
 
I understand that we got closure with Amy and all, but since Amy was the "main" companion to 11, there needs to be at least some kind of reference to her. In reality, I wish she could be there for when he regenerated.

Edit: I wonder if Capaldi will ever say "cool". as in "______ is cool". Much like how Smith said "timey wimey" but obviously never "allons-y".

Capaldi is going to use that other catch phrase of Smith during his entire run, "Who da man!"
 
Watched City of Death today, sort of background TV while I tidied up and recabled behind my PC.

Lalla Ward is just magnificent as Romana, isn't she? She's impossibly cute and sweet, but at the same time utterly sells to me that she's a hundred-and-something years old, and is a little young and sweet and naive by the Doctor's standards but is nonetheless a Time Lord with vast knowledge above ours. I love how they fight over the significance of the Mona Lisa, the Doctor insisting it is one of the great artistic wonders of the universe, her arguing that, no, well, it's really just Earth.

She's typical by old Who standards in one sense - in this she ends up captured briefly and by and large follows the Doctor's lead, and yet she actually gets more done really here and feels like a more active presence than all the modern companions but probably Rose & Donna, and even in the case of those two only sometimes. Ward really did something great with that part. I also love her outfit; they've always cute, and it's clear they're going for that, but also there's an eccentricity to it that really matches the Doctor. She and Tom weren't married at this point, but you get the feeling that perhaps stuff was already going on off-screen at this point, as the chemistry is fantastic.

I think she'd be an incredibly hard role to cast now; you're basically looking for that same otherworldiness you look in casting the Doctor. With Capaldi if they were to bring her back, they could cast her older, but in a sense I think slightly younger and sweeter (she is several hundred years younger than the Doctor, after all) is sort of a trait of the character; perhaps someone in their early 30s opposite Capaldi, so a bit older than the standard companion. Basically, you're looking for a female Matt.

And the script! What work by Douglas Adams, really. A lot of things about Adams' untimely, early death bum me out - that he never got to see some of the concepts he talked about in Hitchhikers come to be with modern technology, for instance - but it also makes me so sad he was only a few scant years from seeing a show that he held very dear explode in popularity again. I think he'd be writing for the show now if he were still around. A great loss.

I'm sure Moffat will sneak it in his first episode just to be cheeky, just like how Matt did David's "What? x3" thing.

I hope we at least get a Baker/Davison style hallucination from Amy before 11 goes.

Maybe he pulls a 10 and finds Amy and Rory somehow and visits them before regenerating.
 
Also, I'm going to be impossibly boring on the subject of the OT and say that more than twee tag lines or quotes, we should try to make abundantly clear in that one line that this is a very special "once-in-a (re)generation" episode, because if an OP title that drives home how special the episode is draws even one additional viewer from a randomer on GAF wondering what the fuss is about, we've done good!

GOODBYE CHLOE WEBBER I LOVE YOU

I'm thinking that
in his 900 years on the planet the Doctor entertains the planet's children with tales of his adventures in a very Christmassy fashion, thus the puppets of him and the alien - which then appears to also be pictured in one of the drawings. The kids of the world then they draw the pictures for him, which matches up with how in the spoilers he's described as a beloved legend of the planet.
..I've just guessed it, haven't I?
