Spoiler alert! May contain spoilers to "The Day of the Doctor" (aka, the 50th anniversary special). Before I start, I know I am a dweeb for not watching all of the "minisodes" for Doctor Who, but I decided to start watching them to catch up. So, there were 7 Doctors in the classic series. In order from oldest to most recent, there was William Hartinell, Peter Troughton, John Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and lastly, Sylvester McCoy. The 8th incarnation of the Doctor was Paul McGann, and only starred as the Doctor in the 1996 TV movie, Doctor Who. Now, according to the episode, "Day of the Doctor", David Tennant is not indeed the 9th incarnation, he is the 10th. John Hurt stars as "The War Doctor". Well, we have pretty much seen just about every regeneration of the Doctor except the regeneration from Paul McGann to John Hurt. "Night of the Doctor" explains everything about why the "War Doctor" exists. Another thing I was very confused about until the 50th anniversary was that when watching the new series, Doctor continually refers to "The Time War" and how he is the last of his kind (The Time Lords) and that the Daleks ruined his home planet. The Time Lords were definitely present during the classic series. For example watch the beginning of the "Genesis of the Daleks" (Tom Baker episode). I have a link to that in the Miniature Dalek Build post. Anyway, watch the 50th anniversary and most of all, don't miss "The Night of the Doctor" minisode. Here are some links you won't want to miss!
