Date: 2013-11-24 03:04 am (UTC)Fun! All in all, I think I'm at one third awesome, one third annoyed, and one third undecided. :P The Doctor snarking at himself is definitely awesome, and John Hurt is obviously a pro at that. So the War Doctor is clearly the Doctor (anything else I would not have liked) which scrambles all the numbers, oops. I think Tom Baker was Matt Smith's favourite Doctor? I seem to remember reading something like that, so that's probably why it was him, lovely. And I loved the Capaldi cameo!

JOHN HURT WAS AMAZING. "Timey-wimey? Timey-what?" It was like he was the ONLY GROWN-UP IN THE ROOM.

Date: 2013-11-24 11:08 am (UTC)As I said, I'm not sure, after I wrote this comment I thought that maybe Matt's favourite was Troughton after all? I don't remember for sure. (ETA: I just googled, and yes, it was Troughton, so ignore what I said before.) In any case, your reason makes sense, too. But speaking of older Doctors, did you see The Five(ish) Doctor Reboot as well? That was fun, even for me who hasn't seen much of Old!Who, which means that quite a few of the cameos went over my head.
"Am I having a midlife crisis?" "It's an instrument of science, not a waterpistol!" He could have gone on like that for a while, I wouldn't have minded. :D But the really lovely thing is that actually, as Clara points out, he is so much younger, and then tells himself that he has to grow up when it comes to dealing with the Time War. As Eight did, too.
