Words cannot describe the feeling felt when The Day of the Doctor ended, but I'll try- It was a mixture of sadness, revelation and.... a feeling I can only describe as basking in the glory of what I just saw, trying to figure out the ramifications of it, and being, as they say nowadays, 'mindblown'.
Steven Moffat, known for his sometimes convoluted, front-flip, loop-the- loop, twisty-turny, timey-wimey plot lines, has really stepped up his game, giving his audience a taste of what fans wish could happen in every episode. The plot line was twisted, the ramifications huge, but not so much that it left anyone confused, or with any plot holes.
The one niggling little concern was the tiny problem with the Zygons. Not seen in their actual form since 1975, the Zygons were, I feel, a major part of the story, with a nice build-up, interesting turns of events, and climaxing with the countdown and 'negotiations' - which then promptly fizzled into nothing. This left me with the feeling that Moffat either ran out of room to write a satisfying conclusion in, or he simply couldn't solve their plot line satisfactorily.
However, besides this one minor flaw, I cannot recall a better episode (from the reboot- the classics are another matter). There have only been 2 that, in my opinion, came on par with this masterpiece. The question now is - with a new window into the universe open, ready for more gripping adventures in time and space, where do they go next? What mysteries will be solved, tombs explored, cities saved and enemies broken?
Who Knows?
