Oh, my. Very excellent and highly saddening contrast of the Eighth Doctor at the beginning and at the end of his life. You really have captured the great sadness in how this regeneration's life began romantic, optimistic, lively and youthful, and ended where it did during the Time War he'd desperately tried and failed to avoid being a part of.

I was hoping Eight would have his new costume for the Night of the Doctor episode, both to make it canon and to give him something other than his TV movie costume.

but this make me realize..

it's better that he was in a darker version of his original costume, because it shows exactly how haggard he's become running from the Time War.

Maybe his updated look got wrecked at some point.

Since the Time War was going on for a while in 'the Night of the Doctor' (at least I hope it was going for a while and they didn't destroy most of the universe in the first week or something) and he regenerated into maybe 30 something year old...imagine how long the Time War ACTUALLY was.

It took CENTURIES for the Doctor to get old

there was 400 years between Eleven's regeneration and the 50th anniversary (and that's on the light side of it)

to get to the age the War Doctor looked in the 50th, it would probably take another 300 or so.

Keep in mind I'm going by ELEVEN'S aging process

According to Sound of Drums, TEN aged basically at half the rate of a Human

I think this perfectly encapsulates the 8th Doctor. A happy, perky man with perfect-fitting shoes went in. A run-ragged shell without a shred of hope left went right out.

Aw. Eight was such a cutie (almost like ten), and he got such a sad ending...

Still, the edgier look was appropiate, and it was cool of them to give Mc Gann that chance.

In the end, you can still see that he's the same man who was gleeful that his shoes fit perfectly. "Bring Me Knitting"

Oh McGann, I should've paid more attention to your stuff...mind you christmas is on the way...I could probably find the audiobooks as well as the prose online...TO THE INTERNET!

People say it would have been better if the Eighth Doctor really had ended the Time War by activating The Moment and killing his own people and (most of) the Daleks at once, because it's so tragic to think of the Eighth Doctor going from the TV Movie, all happy-go-lucky and having a lust for life,  and turning into this heartbroken, worn out and weary man who doesn't even feel he has the right to call himself The Doctor anymore. Basically the thought of Paul McGann's Doctor transformed from a man who is in love with life and full of energy, to someone who is literally more afraid of living with what he is going to do, than dying forever with no chance of regenerating. That would be heartbreaking to see from the same actor.

But, I can understand why that sounds like way too much of a transition for one Doctor to go through, and a regeneration would help to give us a bigger span of unseen adventures and a whole life we never saw. In The Night of the Doctor, John Hurt's face looks so young and yet in the episodes he looks like he's been fighting for decades, or even centuries. Tom Baker didn't change much in 7 years but you could obviously tell he was older and wrinklier... multiply that by ten and you can imagine how long the Time War lasted. I think Time Lords age slower than we do.

So I would have been happy with either one, but John Hurt as the "missing" Doctor is such a cool thing to explore and speculate about for the next 50 years. And with an actor who probably won't come back ever again, being so old. Maybe on audio........

so sad to see how he went from such a happy carefree character to such a dark one. Damn Time War.. T.T

Awesome!

Yeah, Night of the Doctor rocked!

I'd love maybe a mini-web series with McGann about the lead up to the Timewar and McGann's refusal to take part. And it would see the doctors image transform from a symbol of hope to a condemned monster that people think all timelords are.

Based on the comic strips and the TV movie McGann is certainly one of my favorite Doctors. Nice job! (and one day I shall get more of of his audio plays)

Yet he was still totally the Eighth Doctor in the end. I like him more Byronic personally though.

I always liked the idea that the most optimistic Doctor was the one that was broken by The Time War.

I love the way you have 8 transitioning from the happy "everything is good" we saw in the movie to the tired, I want to do more in this war we saw in "Night of the Doctor".
