TM2YC said:It had me wondering if Capaldi and the team are slipping in overt refrences to all 12 previous Doctors (Including The War Doctor) across the 12 episodes?
1. The new Pertwee style costume
2.
3. The Doctor duels with a spoon, a favourite prop of McCoy
4. Hurt's barn of solitude
5.
6. Smith lookaliketeacher
7. Tom Baker's Yo-Yo
8. Hartnell neck tie
I can't remember anything from 2 and 5 right now but hopefully the next 4 episodes will feature props like cricket-bats, leather-jackets, lucky-cat-brooches, 3D-glasses, penny-whistles and... I unable to think of a specific McGann prop . I may have overthought this.
matrixgrindhouse said:I just had a crazy thought. Maybe all these little homages are foreshadowing the Doctor's future ability to "revisit his old favorite faces", culminating in the Tom Baker Curator character from Day of the Doctor. Selectively able to summon up aspects of his former regenerations when the situation warrants it. He really was channeling Tom's voice in his discussion with himself...
