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.

Honestly, I was worried going into it -- what if I hated it? But Moffat really did do a fantastic job. I had a moment of dread when it looked like Billie Piper was going to be "Bad Wolf Rose" (I hate Super!Rose), but then it turned out that she wasn't, and all was okay again.

Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, and photos of companions (did you spot Harry?), and clips from everyone including Capaldi (!), and oh yeah, some old actor who showed up there at the end WHICH I AM STILL FLAILING OVER.

I did spot Harry, and Sarah Jane and the Brig and Susan and so many more...

And Kate was so great. I loved the line to the Zygon about checking its memory for a man named Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart - though it did remind me of that line of River's to the Dalek about checking its records.

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