    Wilf's four knocks come a close second to, "I don't want to go," as the most heart-wrenching moment in NuWho. Wilf was arguably the most beloved non-companion character in the show, and the least likely to want harm to come to him. Even thinking about it now makes me tear up.

      I actually put it above the I don't want to go moment because it comes out of nowhere but the impact is immediate, even as a viewer. Like.. it has to be one of the best twists I've ever seen in a show or movie just because it comes completely out of nowhere but it isn't random gibberish being pulled out, it completely follows all the foreshadowing that was there and it fits perfectly and it makes sense but it was hidden behind everything else and it's just the best twist. But it's also a twist of the knife in the heart, even more than I don't want to go.

      Its the same heart beat that the Master heard but from his 2 hearts.
      And the Metacrysis+Rose/Romana are the parents to the Master.
      =Donna is 50% the father of the Master = Wilfred is the Masters grandfather...
      If you think I must be incorrect go rewatch that scene with Donna getting shut in and realise its the same knocking but with one heart.

      Oh wow...Cribbins was such an amazing entertainer. He started very young in vaudeville and his career spanned nearly 80 of his 93 years. I understand he lost his wife last October; I wonder if it broke his heart. Such a wonderful career that lasted longer than most of us have been alive. And we still wanted more.
      I wonder how much of Wilf's scenes are finished. Will we get lucky, or will this be a repeat of Howard Attfield's death that gave us Wilf in the first place?
      Safe journey to the far off shore, Bernard. But I'll imagine Wilf still running about with his Silver Cloak gang, having adventures with Minnie the Menace and looking after his Sylvia and Donna.

    There's also more evidence that Jack is the Face of Boe. When River gets her vortex manipulator, Dorium, who often deals with the headless monks, said it was off the wrist of a handsome time agent. The headless monks decapitate you, while keeping the head alive (like with what happened to Dorium). The same could have happened to Jack, which is what caused him to be a literal face.

    Absolutely agree with your number 1. The Doctor looks up relieved to have survived, and I'm relieved too. Then we both hear it: 4 knocks. And even as the Doctor's face falls, so does mine. "Oh. My. God..... It's Wilfred. The whole time, Wilfred and his 4 knocks were waiting for the Doctor." Then the Doctor says the same thing. And when I rewatch it, my gut tenses when Wilf goes into the booth...and it doesn't un-tense until I start crying. Nobody but nobody writes tearjerkers as well as RTD. Can't wait to see what is up his sleeve next.
    River is my girl. I wanna be River when I grow up. (I'm 54, but maybe one day...) My only disappointment is that I knew that there was a connection the moment Amy Pond was introduced. Doesn't detract from how much I love River though.

      Michelle Gomez's Missy was amazing. John Simm was my favorite Master...until the Mistress came along. Now I want her back, though it's hard to imagine her with anyone but Capaldi.
      A couple of years before Doctor Who, Gomez did a series called Merry Widows with Miriam Margolyes as her mum. They are HYSTERICAL together. She also did a short series called Psychobitches in which she played historical women seeing a psychiatrist. Her Mary Queen of Scots had a brogue so thick she needed an interpreter--pretty funny since the famous queen grew up speaking French!

    The twist that river was in the space suit was one that I had speculated heavy with based on her own reaction after she unloaded her revolver missed and the space suit escaped and she bitterly said "of course not" however it seems as though even she had forgotten when they re-encounter the astronaut back in 1969 so I dropped the theory despite other subtle clues in the first half of the episode even after she's already forgotten. The twist was even more shocking for me having already dismissed the theory and it came true but damn did I love it. What I didn't like was the way that the episode that reveal came in, (or rather the episode preceding it the wedding of the river having to doctor who the story up to eleven with the whole time is broken subplot when all of time is happening at once. Frankly I don't like how that looks on paper it's worse than Aragorn being crowned king only to slap Elront in the face pulling out a boom box radio from the 1980 and playing I can walk on water I can fly as he gets the whole crowd doing the chicken dance and then says Peter Jackson put me up to this as he gets in a bmw and guns it straight off the same cliff that Denethor II flew off of during the battle for Minas Tirith. Needless to say shit like that is too stupid to think up but the way that the wedding of the river was like that ending all the while telling the story of the correct ending. Basically it's a noncohesive story about the eleventh doctor telling a cohesive story to his friend Winston Churchill. And it would have been better for the writers of the episode to tell that cohesive story to the audience instead we got all of space and time happening in one place all at once.

    His character was adorable and I loved the relationship he and the Doctor had.
    When Wilfred saluted the Doctor my tears poured, almost as much as when Rose was pulled into a parallel universe 😢

    As much as I agree with that topn I"m confused one of the biggest reveal isn't here : The Doctor isn't a Timelord.
    Which made a lot of sense because Ten refused to change after his full regeneration. Then we learn the existence of the War Doctor which means Eleven is supposed to be his last incarnation. This is why he was about to die in The Time of the Doctor, because he actually was the thirteenth incarnation of the Doctor but his thirteenth Regeneration was triggered by Galifrey, giving birth to Twelve. But the it didn't make sense when Twelve regenerated, until we learn that HUMONGOUS trurh.
    And I'm even more confused no one mention it in the comments o_O
