Yes, Space will be playing Doctor Who's newest episode Day of the Doctors on Saturday! It's on at 2:50pm EST, which is 12:50pm MST (ie Edmonton local time), and they're playing it without commercials! It'll be repeated at 4pm EST, which is 6pm MST, although that one'll have commercials. There's also a whole bunch of Doctor Who specials on before and after, revisiting each of the eleven doctors.
HOO-@%&#ING-RAY!!!!!

Paul McGann is the 8th Doctor, who only appeared onscreen once in 1996 in a TV movie meant to revive Doctor Who. Here, he makes a triumphant return in a regeneration story explaining the genesis of the incarnation of the Doctor who fought in the Time War.

I'm not uninterested. but I have been quite tired and lazy lately. sooo...
To be honest I'm a little shaky lately too, lots of stress combined with depression and my anxiety levels have been WAY up. In general I'm coping pretty well but I know I'm a little jumpy
The big side effect is just not eating / sleeping properly, I'm up early (2-3 AM) and I power out early. I'm trying to flip it around and get more activity in, I actually managed to stay awake past 10 PM last night (thank you Pacific Rim!).
Anyway, I still have to figure out what's going on Saturday, but maybe this can be a thing :)
I also have to check if I have Space in HD

Y'know I never understood this either, Doctor Who had just celebrated 25 years and was a staple I would watch Saturday nights on PBS and during the week on YTV, it was my favourite television show. I was very excited for a new season that never came, then there was talk of an 8th Doctor but that didn't materialize for years later...
Red Dwarf filled the gap for a while but otherwise the only live action shows I was watching after Who disappeared was Sherlock Holmes, Poirot and Maniac Mansion all of which had limited runs
I feel kind of bad for the 8th Doctor because he didn't really get a fair shake, the TV movie was supposed to launch a new series but it was fairly awkward and the timing was all wrong, looking back it was very much a bridge between classic and new Who though and has its place
I recently watched a few old classic serials, the danger now is getting sucked into watching more and more, as I said in another thread I'm already losing my nights, yarg I need more time! (to the TARDIS!)
Oh yeah, side note, not one of the classic Who Doctor's was invited to contribute the 50th anniversary, which kind of makes me angry. I know New Who is super popular and all but there is a massive legacy behind it and to ignore that on such an important date... not very nice.

Don't get too angry - there's a special hour or hour-and-a-half show for each of the doctors, #1 through #11. I don't think it'll all fit on my PVR, to be honest. Some are airing on Saturday morning, some Saturday evening, all around the
Day of the Doctor. Space is basically the Doctor Who Channel for all of Saturday. Oh, and they've already had a special on earlier in the week where they interviewed actors and actresses from across the years, including showing scenes and interviewing actors from
An Unearthly Child (we still haven't seen them wrap up the loose plot point of the Hartnell-doctor saying that Susan was his granddaughter).
Ok for sure I can't have people over as I will be out on Saturday

My daughter and I are at an out-of-town tournament. This is usually great fun, but she's kinda upset. Turns out a couple of her friends invited her over to watch Day Of The Doctor and since she's out of town, she can't make it.
And I'm sad that she'd go watch it with friends instead of with her dad, who got her addicted opened her eyes to the Doctor.
If you have access to a web browser I am sure I could find you a stream to watch shortly after it airs.

Just now watched that, as well as the HISHE for Doomsday. Why?
Because I'm Who-Fan!Epic 50th tonight, wow, emotionally-stirring storyline that did something neato to established mythology without undoing anything critical (internal Whovian logic not contradicted, well done!) and considering some folks' concerns and advance complaint, GREAT fan service* throughout (*not just the TB part at the end, but also the subtle reference to the 10th/20th anniversary multi-doctor 'precedents')... And some epic action scenes so solidly done that they musta been directed by Michael Bay's cousin (iirc his name is Bad Wolf Bay).
Anyway I hope you guys all enjoyed it as much as I did with all 3 of my kids (it was a Festivus miracle!)
Gotta allons-y now, insomnia falls no more!
Yep, it was good also forced me to go look at Wikipedia for some continuity checks.
It's even better with the web mini episode the night of the doctor.
Best part is there is still a 2013 Christmas episode to come and wrap up the current season.
It was wonderful, all the little touches here and there were appreciated.
And of course seeing TB at the end, well a spark crossed my eye.

Very well put-together episode, although a bit hard to follow for young ones. I actually would have preferred if they had gone through with burning the Daleks and the Timelords; now he's no longer all alone in the universe, and all those previous adventures where he's lamenting being the only one don't make sense any more. They tried to hand-wave this by saying the timestreams are crossed and no one will remember anything anymore, but I dunno, that just didn't feel right.
I have to re-number my Doctor Who collection now, since they introduced an intermediate one - Hurt is now 9, Eccleston is now 10, Tennant is now 11, Smith is now 12, and Capaldi is now 13. Did you notice Capaldi? I did! The worst part of that, of course, is the canon that says Timelords only get 12 regenerations. So if they stick to established canon, Capaldi would be the last. But they never do.
I want to go watch Terror Of The Zygons again.
Also, I caught Spearhead From Space on the weekend, and it actually introduced the Autons (plastic mannequins that moved) and the Nestene Consciousness, which were both featured in the first new-series episode in 2005, where Eccleston's doctor meets Rose Tyler. I knew the Autons were re-used, but I didn't realize just how close the two storylines were.

Hiding the planet vs destroying it keeps the timeline mostly the same as long as the old doctors don't remember. But the companions remember changed events. according to past episodes due to exposure to the time stream via the tardis. So it is a bad excuse.
Spoiler
Agreed, Gallifrey isn't in the same universe and is "unreachable" for the time being.
At first I was a bit bugged about the "first" Doctor being different, but then I started thinking about it, perhaps Hartnell's Doctor was the first regeneration, so we now have a "zeroeth" Doctor.
I ended up having a mini-marathon of Doctor Who this weekend, going back and watching some of my favourite serials, brought back a lot of memories. One thing that struck me though was how big the 50th was compared to the 25th back in 1988, it was a big deal on PBS but outside that bubble I didn't know of anyone in school who was a fan. Heck even Star Trek TNG wasn't all that popular among my peers.

First, the spoiler conversation:
Spoiler
What do you mean a new first doctor? As far as I saw, the new doctor they introduced was John Hurt, and he existed between the Doctor Who Movie (Paul McGann, eighth doctor) and the start of the modern series (Christopher Eccleston, ninth doctor). Even right at the end, where they showed all the doctors, William Hartnell was shown standing behind all the other doctors as if to say he was the first.
and now for the non-spoiler conversation:
Yes, geek is now chic. They had a fan-favourite serial for each doctor on this weekend. The two that I caught were Spearhead From Space for doctor 3 and Pyramids Of Mars for doctor 4. I caught a bit of what they showed for Hartnell's doctor, doctor #1. I think it was An Unearthly Child, but I'm not sure.

So... Doctor Yes!
You didn't watch the night of the doctor Mini-episode? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U3jrS-uhuo
Spoiler
Checking Wiki and the internet as a whole... there are two continuity facts that pull this together.
- In classic doctor who apparently the doctor never claims to be the only Time lord and never reference that his home planet is gone.
- In Doctor Who 2005 the Christopher Eccleston doctor is the first to say his planet and people are lost and the plot is heavy around how that happened in 2005
- The John Hurt doctor is shown as the regeneration of the Paul McGann doctor in "the night of the doctor", and the one that destroys Gallifrey to stop the time war and that the doctor never talks about him
Spoiler
John Hurt was introduced as The Doctor at the end of last season, as seen in the first two clips of this article: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/11/22/a-primer-for-doctor-who-s-day-of-the-doctor-episode.html. There was also a mini-episode shown on the web that actually shows Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor regenerating into John Hurt's War Doctor. And I guess we don't have to re-number everyone because the War Doctor was not a doctor and therefore doesn't count as a numbered version. He's specifically explained as not a doctor but a warrior.
The Zygons were absolutely perfectly done, though, just a few subtle changes from the original look and then better CGI allowing a more realistic transformation process.

Doctor NO MORE
(but my guess is fandom will name him "8.5" pretty quickly. Or at least "the warrior doctor".)

They persisted the effect very well across scenes as well, when they walk out of the room they have a very hard angle on it and you get to see more ships.
Also they did all the CG with both 2D and 3D, I wonder what the 3D-cinema experience was like seeing that for the first time surrounded by hundreds of others equally mesmerized...

So this is interesting, although I didn't follow this thread the whole way through so might have missed it if you guys posted it: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/11/26/matt-smith-is-the-13th-doctor
Possible spoiler country hence the jump ->
Spoiler
In-universe during "The Five Doctors" the Master is offered a new cycle of regenerations by the High Council of Time Lords, which means that regenerations may be conferred by the Time Lords, as well the Master has jumped bodies a number of times (at least 2 to my knowledge) and gets at least one regeneration when he does so.
Out of universe there are no limits to the number of regenerations (according to the producers)
HEAVY CONJECTURE ON MY PART: The quest, going home, will be to find Gallifrey, bring it back into the prime universe and likely the reward will be extra lives (HIGH SCORE!). This of course means more Daleks I'm sure
What confirms for me that the current Doctor is certainly not the last is the existence of the Valeyard (Trial of a Timelord) and The Watcher (Logopolis)

Spoiler
The comments point out at least two explanations that are part of the current set of events... 1. River used up regeneration energy to save him once, maybe that gives him an extra cycle.. 2 the War Doctor was initiated with an elixir that may have also messed with him in other ways.
Well there's the whole doctors-vs-regenerations debate. There have now been 12 actors and Capaldi will be the 13th. But there's the 12 regenerations for all those actors, plus whatever was used up to re-grow the hand and also the aborted regeneration. As for Moffat saying 12 regenerations is canon, so was the destruction of all of Gallifrey as of Eccleston's doctor, up until it wasn't anymore.
Doctor Who is full of paradoxes and canon-destroying new lines of thought. There really are no hard and fast rules. I mean, think about this: the doctor knows he's going to die so he travels into the future to warn people to help him. But then because they help him, he doesn't die. So if he doesn't die, then he wouldn't know he's going to die, so then why does he travel into the future? Timey-wimey.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the limit of 12 regenerations only exists in audio adventures of Doctor Who. I don't remember it ever being specifically mentioned on TV. Although there are a lot of episodes, so I could be wrong. I do remember once one of the new doctors mentioned 507 times, but that didn't seem serious.
Also there was a discussion that "the Master" was gifted regenerations by the time-lords, so maybe they can be added.

Best "50th" Review Ever:

Quote
...We all love to sit around and discuss television and the deeper meanings of shows, but when it comes to Doctor Who, I think a lot of people criticize it to the point that it takes the joy out of everything. I prefer a different approach, especially for big events like the 50th Anniversary Special: Did I have fun on a journey that decidedly took me away from my own world and transported me to another? Did my pulse race? Did I laugh?
Doctor Who is essentially a show for children, but because the series has been around for 50 years, those kids have grown up and they've remained loyal fans and they somehow expect something else. What's more, there's an entire generation of *new* Who fans who've only came on board after the reboot in 2005, and they look at the series differently, too. Keeping all of this in mind, it's extremely hard to be too harsh on "The Day of the Doctor," knowing it provided fans around the world with so much joy...
re. the 50th -- joy delivery: confirmed! It was indeed a fun romp, even if later analysis and Deep Thought makes you kinda wonder what wibbly wobbly plot holes Moffat dug himself...
And ^ this review itself ^ ... what a wonderful find today; it is overflowing with the kind of child-like free-spirited joy that I can relate to when it comes to this "just a TV show". That spirit -- in much of the series, and in much of the fandom -- is why I admit I am now fully whooked on this show (thanks, daughters!). To quote, "...I'm letting it slide here as a fan because this was a fun ride..." -- this should be required verbiage in most reviews of most Who adventures!
