The epic 50th Anniversary episdoe of Doctor Who, “The Day of the Doctor”, was only just weeks ago and if you’re anything like me, you’re still reeling from all the events and timey-wimey events that happened! But buckle up, because we are only two weeks away from the Christmas Special, “The Time of the Doctor”!
The BBC has released a preview for the episode below. As any Whovian knows, this episode will be Matt Smith’s swan song and we will get our first look at Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor. As the episode draws near, the reality that Matt Smith’s Doctor will be departing becomes more and more bittersweet for me. Some don’t care for Smith’s incarnation of the Doctor, but I quite love him and it will be sad to see him go. That said, there is always that air of excitement and the unknown that comes with a new regeneration, and I am incredibly excited to see what Peter Capaldi does in the role – I especially appreciate the fact that there was a bit of explanation in “The Day of the Doctor” as to why his regeneration will be bouncing around in perceived age; the Doctor will be “maturing” a bit in light of the events and revelations from the previous special.
Enough yammering from me, here is the preview for “The Time of the Doctor”!
So much to take in in that brief preview! The Silence, Weeping Angels, Daleks, and of course, Trenzalore! Looks like we may be seeing the epic “final stand” of this Doctor that was elluded to in “The Name of the Doctor” and mentioned a few times prior. I have a feeling Matt Smith’s departure will be nothing less than epic!
“The Time of the Doctor” Christmas Special will air on the BBC on Christmas Day! Check your local listings!
