So if the Doctor can now apparently live forever it's quite funny when you think about it, the show has quite often promoted the theme of unnaturally extending one's life/immorality as being fundamentally 'wrong' or a punishment.

I agree with this, it seemed as though becoming a weeping angel was a form of punishment

my other theory is about the Silence
i think they were secretly in the library when the doctro first meets river - the silence in the library
and that there is a connection there when river gets uploaded

If the spoiler I've heard is legit, I genuinely think the internet may explode tomorrow morning.

I've been rewatching some Tennant episodes before tomorrow. I'm watching The Waters of Mars. Jesus I forgot how amazing and soul destroying this episode is. And how good Tennant is.
And how "horrible" the special effects were for the Flood? Just like the old days!
As for the facial hair, the other day I remembered some interesting facts. David Tennant says in Time Crash (with his father-in-law, Peter Davison) "Look at the bone structure Doctor, cos one day, you'll be shaving it". Suggesting that The Doctor shaves. Also, in The Silence episodes (Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon) Matt Smith grows a beard in his time inside Area 51. Just food for thought
Actually I do seem to recall in one of Tom Baker's episodes when he is wandering one of the many rooms within the Tardis with either Sarah Jane or Leela, that he makes mention of having a shaving mirror.

First Doctor to appear before he has regenerated.
Also we now have a partial regeneration scene for War Doctor to 9th. So we've got all the regenerations.
Also was anyone else expecting the destroyed statues to have been replaced by weeping angels and not Zygons?

"The BBC is preparing to air seven lost Dr Who episodes after a fan revealed he recorded them in 1964.
The series was thought to have been lost forever until a cine camera-owning fan came forward saying he had captured them when they were first aired in the 1960s.
Although the camera didn't record the sound, staff at BBC Worldwide have been painstakingly restoring the footage and adding the audio so they can be shown next month"

I thought it was a terrific episode and loved the ending. Well worth waking up early to watch it. Thankfully I don't live in Perth!

If you're on Tumblr at all, Matt Smith recorded a video on his phone sending a message to all the fans and sent it to the Doctor Who Tumblr. Check it out. The guy is awesome. He actually recorded it while he was waiting at a restaurant.

I'm in two minds on the ending ... but won't say any more until after the prime time airing for those who didn't get up. There were a few nice little touches though. They story didn't over-reach in the end, even if it looked like it was going to any number of times.
edit: Marco Polo as well. Maybe the early runours were true and almost eerything has been discovered (still very unlikely, but suddenly hopeful).
I liked it and certainly gave some excellent nods to the classic series.
And here is a very short trailer for the christmas special - looks full on:

I'm a bit indifferent to the new show but that was quite good.
