If someone had asked me what was the one thing that I wanted most of all in the 50th anniversary special, that I was absolutely certain would never, ever happen . . .
TOM BAKER THAT WAS TOM BAKER WE GOT TOM BAKER AS THE DOCTOR OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And now that that's off my chest . . .
Wow, what a great anniversary episode. I'm sure I'll write a more coherent reaction post later, but for now I'm too busy flailing over Tom Baker.

But I'm so glad I did, because actually, Moffat did the show proud - I did enjoy it, and they used BP in a way that I found bearable.
Plus KKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEE! And ALL the cameos, including Peter Capaldi...
Yeah - I'll definitely join you in the flailing!

Just thinking about it is making me grin and also want to weep a little.

Date: 2013-11-24 05:32 am (UTC)I still can't believe we got Tom Baker back as the Doctor. I've been waiting for that since about, oh, 1981 or so. :D
