Over the years, it seems as though the Doctor has become playful and progressive, but in their hearts, in their four hearts, they're both kind men. But more than that, the First Doctor was a completely different man: observant, intelligent, refined even. His interactions with the Twelfth Doctor were a delight to watch, but his reactions to things like the Doctor becoming the protector of earth and Twelve's grand arrogant speeches about what he was going to do next were clearly absolutely foreign to him. Where did the TARDIS go? What will happen to the Doctor when she lands?Īs far as the rest of the episode, I thought David Bradley as the First Doctor was amazing, from his stodgy charm and outdated opinions of women to his innocence about what was to come. I’m not so worried about the Doctor falling to her death because she did just regenerate, but that was a pretty nasty cliffhanger. But this time, it was almost as if the TARDIS was throwing her out, maybe to keep her safe from the explosion, or something else entirely. I wish we didn't have another destroyed TARDIS.

He found out that Bill did continue her adventures, and as a parting gift, his memories of Clara were restored.

He had no real memories of Clara, and in a lot of ways it felt like it was time for him to say goodbye. He never got to see Missy choose to be good, and he didn’t see what happened with Bill and the return of Heather. He has lost too much, and seen only the worst in the universe for too long. Throughout the episode it was clear he was tired and wrung out. Specifically the Twelfth Doctor, and the question of whether it was time to regenerate or to finally die and put an end to his very long life. This entire episode was about the Doctor. I didn’t have three years to get to know him, but everything was very fresh for me. Also, having seen all his episodes recently, I really connected to his ending in an emotional way. It wasn’t until recently that I gave Capaldi a real shot, and I’m glad I managed to catch up because he did bring something different to the role. And a World War One captain destined to die on the battlefield, but taken from the trenches to play his part in the Doctor’s story.Īn uplifting new tale about the power of hope in humanity’s darkest hours, Twice Upon A Time marks the end of an era.I’ve only ever really watched NuWho, and I actually stopped watching at the end of the Smith era.
