Day of the Doctor Reaction Post

I’m very late to offer my opinion on “Day of the Doctor,” due to a variety of things, but not due to any lack of feeling on my part, because I thought it was utterly fantastic. I would not have wanted the task of writing the 50th anniversary episode of the show, but that is probably the difference between me and Moffat, and it’s probably a good difference, because we needed somebody to jump in and write the episode, and I thought Moffat did a spectacular job with it. I’m not sure he completely hit it out of the park but it was, to continue with my baseball metaphor, a hard-hit triple. And I’m not sure that my feeling that it wasn’t a complete home run isn’t due to the fact that I’ve only had a chance to watch it once, and then with various interruptions because of various things, and so I didn’t get to really immerse myself as much as I wanted. Actually, wait, I take it back: I do know why I didn’t think it was a home run, and it’s because of a failing on my part: I don’t know enough about Classic Who. I mean, I know vague amounts, but not enough to really catch everything that was happening. I was sure that there was stuff that was going over my head (and Tumblr afterward confirmed it).( Spoilers! )
