Doctor Who 50th

No Eccleston, but I didn't hate it, and I was happy about that.  Truth be told, Eccleston, Tennant, Smith, along with Hurt woulda' been fucking crazy--and I would have liked to have seen a bit more explanation why Timothy Dalton and John Simm weren't there; since their thing was happening at almost the same time we could have seen the flash of confusion in the immediate aftermath of their failure to move Gallifrey to Earth.  That's just a quibble, though.  The Tom Baker thing was neat, and watching John Hurt school Smith and Tennant in the craft of tee vee actin' was a joy.  Considering how the Matt Smith era declined, the 50th special was way better than we should have hoped.  Zygons.  Always good to have Zygons.
