Been meaning to start a thread on this for years and never have for some reason. Big fan of both the original (what I've seen/remember of it...) and the rebooted series.

The end was the setup for the 50th anniversary special, and the first acknowledgement that John Hurt's playing one of the (previously unknown) incarnations of the Doctor. Who he is or what he did I guess we'll find out in November.
Sounds like the Valeyard from the 6th Doctor's time. [Reply]

This is the rumor I have been hearing for a while. [Reply]
The fact that it seems so obvious is maybe the biggest mark against it. Also there's nothing particularly "secret" about it. He's talked about doing it. But it also seems the most sensible direction. [Reply]
Don't forget to watch the 5th doctor revisited tonight at 7 PM Central. You can watch the previous doctors revisited documentaries starting at 5 PM. [Reply]
I realized when I set the DVR for tonight that I missed the 4th doctor and his classic episode. Grew up watching him on PBS, although I barely remember any of it. :-) [Reply]
I must say I'm disappointed in the 5th Doctor revisited. I think the producers are trying too hard to make it seem as its been pie and ice cream for 50 years. Peter Davidson was practically run out of the role after two and a half years by fans who were outraged that after beloved Tom Baker played the fool for seven years, Davidson would play it mostly serious. I think Davidson did an excellent job as Doctor. Not word one was said about this. In fact Tennant portrayed the story as the opposite. We'll see how they tackle the Colin Baker story, the only actor ever to be fired from the role. [Reply]
yeah, ign.com has an article also.. I do not think it is a wise choice unless he has tons of offers for other jobs. David is not exactly rolling in quality jobs since he left.
Wonder if they will spin a way to degenerate into the 10th doctor. [Reply]
