As a lot of pleasant conversations do, online and off. :-)
But yes, I am squirming with impatience for this special.
This love, this excitement, this urge to see a piece of television the instant it comes out, is not something I’ve really felt around the show since the lead-up to Whittaker’s debut. Before that, it isn’t something I’ve really felt around any piece of television since Twin Peaks: The Return.
Doctor Who is a really good show you guys.

As long as it's a good ep, I'm happy....but don't take my Susan dreams away!

Susan's Dream will be the title of the last ever episode. All we've watched over the decades has been Susan's imaginings of what Doctor Who gets up to. Then a hard cut to her doing the dishes for David.

Can you imagine the fury from "fandom" if, after all the denials of special guest appearances, there are actually no special guest appearances in this and it's just a weird wacky story.

Part of me hopes so. It would be absolutely hilarious. If Susan does turn up it will be just at the end, to warn about what is happening on earth with Toymaker.

I'm happy if this turns out to have no anniversary returning elements. A 5 star adventure is more rewarding.
I'm loving all the teases that it's like nothing we've seen before and it's scary and weired.
In the last few years we've seen plenty of returning Doctors, companions and Monsters. It wouldn't really feel special at all.
That said, I would love significant screen time for the 8th Doctor.

I love the little touches that are being added to make Fourteen his own incarnation. Like kissing Donna’s hand is very Eleven; you really feel the passing of time. Would be interested to see if those touches are in the script or not, as Tennant has downplayed any real differences in interviews, but it doesn’t watch like that, for me anyway. Same for the Target novels; do they push it that little bit more? I suppose we’ll start seeing extracts people share soon, as The Star Beast releases as an eBook today.

Someone pointed out, and I had forgotten it - the glitch trailer for this had 14 saying 'She mentioned Gallifrey'.
She? She who? Can't be Donna so...

Well, in a few hours the mystery of the ep will be over! My Susan theory is still my guess as to SOMETHING happening, with a Matt cameo less likely but not impossible. If Susan isn't in it this week or next? It'd be rather odd that she's had nothing new in the anniversary year outside of third billing in The Union, a damp squib ending to an even damper range in Once And Future. Her not even being mentioned in Tales Of The TARDIS even when Vicki says The Doctor thought of her as a surrogate granddaughter still makes me think she's got a role to play. Perhaps wish is father to the thought but.....well, in 7 days and 7 hours, the 60th specials will be done and we'll know any and all surprises, so still time to dream. At the least, even if nobody of note is a guest in the ep, we know NOTHING about it, and that's exciting too. Last week was the season opener style RTD romp. Next week the kitchen sink RTD style finale. What's this gonna be? Something like Midnight?
