Personally, I love Capaldi but I don't like that much this decision of 'time travel trick' in this episode 'cause if you watched it before 'Time of the Doctor' (which is my case and, I think, the case of everyone else), the entire episode 'Time of the Doctor' get spoiled because you don't have this fear that the Doctor really dies since you already saw his following incarnation, as River would say : 'hush now, Spoilers', and I kinda they'd follow this advice instead of spoiling what could've been a great moment of uncertainty

[@tomnorton4277]

"Calling the War Council of Gallifrey! This is the Doctor!" That's a wonderful reintroduction to the long dead William Hartnell. He was actually the only Classic Doctor who was given a new line. This episode treats him with such reverence that he seems like a legendary figure and the man they got to record that line sounded exactly like him. They also perfectly infused previous lines into the scene. After Hartnell showed up, the rest of the Doctor's lines until Matt Smith's grim "Okay" was all archive footage. However, it was chosen carefully so that it sounded like each Doctor was contributing to the rescue mission whilst giving each other encouragement and confirming calculations in the process.

They clearly have the power to grant extra regenerations though, so I doubt it's unprecedented. Also, 13 is the magic number.

Technically time lord's have twelve times they can regenerate, but that means thirteen faces in total.

They gave up their only way of returning to the normal universe (the time/space crack) to give the Doctor another round on the regeneration clock so to speak. But at the same time, they shouldnt have known about Capaldi's Doctor at the time so they might have hoped that giving him another regeneration cycle would allow him to come back to Gallifrey

Similar to how Rory has memories of being the Last Centruion even though the Big Bang 2 happens. Gallifrey might fall no more, but the Doctor still remembers it falling.

I think they were already going all out. A tiny fleet was enough to nearly liquidize the Earth. Gallifrey's defences are strong enough to stop the current firepower. And remember, most of the Temporal Abominations are still alive on the Last Day. Most likely fighting was still happening elsewhere, and the moment 13 Doctors arrived, the Daleks called for reinforcements, so the firepower increased.

[@MrCdawson17]

This is the first time we see a doctor introduced BEFORE their debut. It's a fun fact to think that Capaldi's Doctor is the one that solved the Gallifrey problem and not the Eleventh. Makes this appearance even more relevant when you see how Capaldi's regeneration is done. Love the fact he left using the same shot as he first appeared.

I just realized. This is the moment Gallifrey knew they had to grant the Doctor more Regerations. Matt Smith was number TWELVE. At this point, the FINAL Regeneration. But the thrower of the Switch that saved their world was Number 13. Thus granting him more Regerations became a Fixed Point, if they didn't, the resulting paradox would annihilate the universe. The Doctor more or less RIGGED THE UNIVERSE to make the Gallifreyan High Council grant him another set!

[@hadijawa2339]

Nice theory, but there's a small, glaring hole in it. You see, Smith's Doctor was the final Doctor, the 12th of the cycle when you add the War Doctor. He had also wasted a regeneration, resulting in the Meta-Crisis Doctor, which meant that while usually, the 13th incarnation is the last incarnation, for him, the 12th was the last. All of this you pointed towards in your comment. However, one thing you missed is that the Time Lords did NOT know about the Meta-Crisis. They counted all the Doctors, and the conclusion they would have reached would be that Smith's Doctor was the penultimate one. Therefore, the Time Lords giving the Doctor a new cycle did not become a fixed point. It is also not a fixed point because if it was, we could never have seen the Doctor's grave on Trenzalore, since that was an alternate future in which he did not get a new cycle. If a new cycle had been a fixed point, that alternate future could not exist

In Day of the Doctor, three Doctors combined are so stupid that they are planning to commit mass genocide against their own people until Clara tells them "no, you're better than this", and only then do they decide to think harder and come up with a different plan.

Steven Moffat wrote Peter Capaldi's Doctor like any other because he strongly believes that he's supposed to be "one man with many faces". Capaldi unintentionally turned the Doctor into a Human sociopath who had to go on a redemption arc instead of an flawed but well meaning Time Lord who's questioning his identity, which is what Moffat was telling him to do. Peter Capaldi was clearly TRYING to be alien but I never believed that he had lived for thousands of years until he literally spent 4.5 billion years in the Confession Dial.

Boy it sure is great to have Gallifrey and the timelords back and usable in the Doctor Who universe, I sure do hope that at no point in the future anything terrible happens for shock value removing any possibility of a longstanding faction being used as a plot point.

[@gpr127]

Having just watched Ep.2 of series 13, we seem to have conjured up another faction of time controlling aliens and wiped them out before we were even actually introduced to them! Perhaps after next year's specials Bill or Nardole will wake up to find Peter Capaldi's Doctor in the shower and the last three series were all just a dream?

When he says "the Daleks know something is happening their increasing their firepower" I mean their Daleks, the most ruthless creatures in the universe, surly they would be using their maximum firepower anyway.

[@Cosmo_raptor]

True...

[@TheBoneFatherPlaysGames]

Well, its likely that there where using maximum firepower but once they found out something was happening they started rerouting power from other sources like Sensors and Shields to add more power to the weapons

[@francescofavro8890]

it's actually not that wise to always go 100% full power all the time. i don't think the dalkes had unlimited energy.

[@mattakins1559]

Being part machine, could they possibly have plugged theirselves in to contribute more power?

[@SantomPh]

the Daleks also value effeciency. At the moment they were attacking the capital without actually getting through, so when they felt the shift they pushed even harder- probably going beyond their effeciency protocols to get the final push in.

[@TwoDou]

This is one of my favorite moments on television. The way they managed to include all the Doctors from the series in a single sequence beautifully encapsulated how far it has come and how timeless it is.

For years he mourned, for years he believed he had killed his people, for years he was filled with regret for the choice he made. For years he has saved countless people, planets, cvilisations and even the universe itself but there was one moment he could never touch. One moment lost to him forever. One people he could never ever save... His own. but here, finally, we see all his incarnations doing what we all believed was impossible - They saved his people, and his planet - Together,

Makes me so happy to see Eccelston's Doctor here (although in archive form) after seeing all the grief, pain, and regret he had to deal with because of his first-hand involvement with the Time War.

[@theburgerking746]

"All thirteen" suggests there's no more after, then again so does "all twelve of them"

[@IOmoon6221]

And The Time of The Doctor suggests that the Doctor has a new regeneration cycle. Unless you are talking about why it says "all". Time Lords only have 13 bodies. The Council does not know about 10th regenerating twice or about the new regeneration cycle, so they assumed the 13 Doctors they saw it's all of them.

[@somegingerguy4242]

Technically, there ARE thirteen of them. 12 Doctors and the War Doctor

[@Metatr0n]

Even more technically speaking, there are fourteen of them, since the 10th doctor as David Tennant regenerated once into David Tennant, since he didn't want to change appearance after getting shot by a Dalek. 8th Doctor: Paul McGann 9th Doctor: John Hurt 10th Doctor: Christopher Eccleston 11th Doctor: David Tennant 12th Doctor: David Tennant 13th Doctor: Matt Smith 14th Doctor: Peter Capaldi

I remember watching this live as a watch-party live at 11/23/13 with 14 of my best friends. I bought a big TV-Screen, Popcorn and a new couch especially for this Event. For us this was the biggest event of our lives, we all enjoyed this beautiful Moment and saved it in our hearts. Unfortunately, almost all of these friendships are broken only one Friend is still with me. So trust in my word if I tell to you: "Keep always fighting for your friends. Staying in touch has never been easier. Just stop thinking and write them a simple *Hi, how are you? I was thinking about us.* and the first step is done." You never have to be alone, you choose to be alone.

[@spectra5407]

That wasn't The Dalek Emperor, that was a Dalek gunship, which is piloted by 3 normal Daleks, The Emperor was on his flagship and was thrown back in time

[@bigrarr]

Just a theory but wouldn't it be good if Capaldi ended his run as the Doctor doing this? First of all the Timelords KNEW that the Doctor had a 13th incarnation (technically 14 but we'll waive that by just now) so they must have known that they would have HAD to give the Doctor another regeneration cycle for them to be saved in the first place? Man, I love Doctor Who!

[@IOmoon6221]

They didn't. 13 incarnations is what a Time Lord normally has. There's no way they could've known about 10th regenerating and keeping the same face, so 13 Doctors in one place was all of them for the Time Lords at that time. We could see this at the end of Capaldi's run, it would be epic.

[@bigrarr]

You are absolutely right bud, my maths were a bit out, the reason it just popped into my head should of told me to think about that one a little first, but it would be good still to have Capaldi go out like this. Maybe we can come back in a couple of years and discuss haha :D
