I think my brain needs some exercising. I didn't realize it was her until her mother said her name.
Am I the only one bothered by her holding that cup the entire time?
BTW, where's the new thread? Or is this technically the second half of this season?
It's a quirk for character. The Doctor probably picked her up mid-tea.

Maybe she actually carries the cup the entire series and that's the arc of the series of what it means.
What? Please explain.

That was a joke.
Well that wasn't nice.:-(
Well it is a great Brownian motion producer.

Is that prequel part of the next episode or something I need to show my mother before it airs?
Latter. They're not required to watch though, the info in the video will also be in the episode but in a different way.
My exact thoughts, haha.
Really big fan of the Vincent and the Doctor pieces Murray Gold did. Always awesome to hear it again.

I really like Matt, at first I was not so sure but he grew on my quickly. LOL at the sonic screwdriver, that was a nice touch.

Today's Teefury shirt is Captain Jack. Trying to decide if I want it or not.

Do you want to make random little children while shopping cry? Then get it because that is one creepy-ass Jack.

But he will be a part of the anniversary episode of DOCTOR Who.
When is the show ever not focused around the Doctor? They should have gotten as many familiar faces as possible, especially people as prominent (and willing) as JB.
Good news then. He has little to nothing to do with the Doctor so why should he feature in a anniversary special?
I'm okay with John Barrowman not being in the 50th. I can only assume that there would be a reference to him, along with past companions and friends.
Speaking purely about Doctor Who and not its spin-offs, the changeover from the RTD to the Moffat era also meant RTD's "baggage" (characters, story arcs, etc.) was put away, as well, I think. That includes Captain Jack, as much as we all love the character. If there's a good story to bring him back in, I'm all for it.

I'll not be watching then. As much as it'll pain me, I'm done with Moff if he pulls something like this. I hope this is just JB denying it to cover it up.
Moff basically created Jack. He wrote the first episode Jack was featured in.
But... Jack's a Moffat character in the first place. It's a shame that we won't be seeing Jack anytime soon, especially since Smith's time seems to be coming to an end, we might never see Jack/Eleven interact.
What? Just because Jack's not in it? That's a pretty stupid reason to miss out on what could be the biggest event in Who history, as well as being 'done' with Moffat.
I know, but he pretty much became an RTD character afterwards.
It usually is, I just think it needs to be a stronger focus for the anniversary. Just my two pennies though.

I'm sure it's just BS anyway. Moff has lied blind face to many people before, so I'm just going to hold out hope.
Bad Touch.

I know. It's so.. Weird. He's my favorite character and they never do a shirt with him and this is what we get. Oh well.

It isn't strictly true that he's a Moffat character, really - he's half-and-half. RTD gave him the initial spec of what Jack was at his core (from the future, sexually liberal, the action man the Doctor can't be) and Moffat built the action man/missing memories story. It's the closest the pair have come to a collaboration.
It's a shame he didn't appear in 'A Good Man Goes to War' as Moffat intended, but I don't really think the 50th is the right place for a sort of quasi-companion anyway.
Meanwhile, Jenna says:
This makes me feel more like Matt is going (putting new things can be put into place will take time) but it also really pisses me off. I want 14 episodes a year, every year, like clockwork, again.
Other stuff - Moffat has also there'll be something of a
love triangle between Clara, the Doctor and River (who appears in the finale), but "not in the ways you'll think."

Just finished The Beast Below. Not my favourite episode, but certainly not a terrible one. The revelations that the government had "trapped" the Star Whale, and later that it was actually willing to help really made the episode worth the watch.
Misc notes:
- Amy in that nightie was distracting.
- Never liked Liz 10 in my previous viewings, the trend continues.
- "Right, this isn't going to be big on dignity," still gets me.
- The preview for Victory of the Daleks really kills the suspense in the end of the episode with Churchill calling the Doctor about needing his help, with a Dalek's silhouette shown behind him.

At least the mystery around the anniversary special will at least partially lifted soon; there's news and embargoed interviews coming down the pipe for Tuesday.
Seriously? Cool, glad to hear it. I wonder what they'll actually say, though - I imagine Moffat'll want to keep at least some big surprises hidden.

Oh man...Tuesday is announcement for the anniversary? Coinciding with the season premiere too, good press for The Doctor!

I'd say it's largely dependent on who's being interviewed.
Given their comments last week, and McCoy's dodging in particular, I'd be vaguely amazed were Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy not involved.
NEVER!!
I always get the feeling I'm the one person in this thread who actually likes River...
