11 can now heal more from the time war, now in a big way because of being able to save Gallifrey and the time lords.
Though it's a bit meh how what the dalek fleets are destroyed in a crossfire? But is that all still timelocked though so it doesn't matter if the daleks there (and their reinforcements throughout the universe) aren't defeated? Or was it the moment that made it all time locked? Yeah it must still be timelocked though because otherwise the daleks would destroy the universe.
I wanted more depth in the dialogue. There was good stuff here and there and when talking about the time war and when the three of them were in the room with the moment.
I liked 10's dialogue more than i thought i would. Most of it does feel true to character, though he's shown to be more romantic than he is, like he's this lover getting involved in these kinds of situations often like with the queen, when no his character wasn't really like that through his tenure.
10's my favorite doctor so of course i would want better. But i did like a lot of what we got from him, and Tennant still felt like 10, though his hair was a bit distracting as it's not 10's hair.
Making Clara a teacher, i like it.
I liked seeing Billie Piper return.
The Zygon storyline was okay, but i would prefer if it was all scrapped. I'd prefer if it was it's own seperate episode. If we scrapped that storyline we could have focused more on the three doctors and the central storyline. But still, we did get plenty of scenes with the three doctors and they all got respected and i liked all of their characters and their dialogue felt true to their character.
It's unfortunate Eccleston didn't return, but it's understandable given what happened in production on his season. Apparently Nine was originally supposed to be the war doctor, and that would have been great. But i actually think the war doctor is a great and maybe even better replacement. Nine felt like the doctor that comes after the war doctor, he felt so much guilt at being the incarnation right after the war doctor, and he kept running. It partially helps to explain his decision at the end of the season not to push the button to kill everyone, because he had just made that decision, it was still raw to him, and he felt like he so wanted to not be like the war doctor. And i do still really like Nine as a character.
I don't like Clara interfering so much when the doctor's were discussing the moment, but i did like her overall in the special, and she did provide a good way out for the doctor, to really think about another way of doing things.
But i liked the doctors were all ready to use the moment, and had forgiven each other and accepted responsibility for using it, feeling like it was the only way to save the universe.
I haven't seen much of the Tom Baker episodes, but it was a really nice cameo at the end, which also introduced the brilliant idea of the possibility of previous doctors returning, and not just in a multi-doctor story where the doctors are still in their original run.
I kinda liked the moment choosing Rose/the bad wolf/time vortex. Would have liked more interaction between her and Ten, but i liked the look on his face when bad wolf was mentioned.
I liked Ten's comment about trenzalore. He was always rebellious about his fate, that's part of why i really like him.
Was disappointed with how the battle of Gallifrey went. It was a standard space laser battle. This was supposed to be the most destructive war in the universe.
Since Amy and Rory left, we've seen the doctor appear a bit older, a bit more more wise and mature.
Overall i really like the special. Make sure to watch the meta comedy special "The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot" and the prequel short "The Night of the Doctor" that go along with this.
