"I've been running all my lives..."

So... there's a teaser trailer for "The Day of the Doctor"...

I'm glad it's just a teaser trailer. I don't think I could handle an official trailer with actual footage from the special. No spoilers, please. No, seriously. I want to be completely and utterly surprised.

Just some general observations:
- Loved how it started out in black and white and morphed into colour. Old and new, all at the same time.
- All Doctors! I know Ten is a just a promo photo but the rest of them look like high resolution CGI or art. Perhaps this is a hint that all of the Doctors will be involved in someway.
- Sarah Jane! She's holding a crystal ball and spying on Three and the Master? Her look was more in line with the classic series than with The Sarah Jane Adventures. Not sure if that means anything. And is it me or does she change into Clara?
- And speaking of Companions, only two? Well, three, because K9 is in there, but he's a dog. I've noticed a surprising lack of Rose in things. Does her physical appearance ruin something about why she and Ten are back?
- Matt Smith's hair. That's clearly a wig. It doesn't look quite right. I bet he filmed this during the production of the Christmas special.
- I think I saw the Master's laser screwdriver floating around in the background somewhere. Does that mean he's back?

All of the zoom-y stuff was kind of distracting, but I bet it's because the trailer can be viewed in 3D. I wouldn't be surprised if this trailer will be shown in theatres.

34 days and counting!

Found this link via FB. It points out little things they spotted. One of them is the laser screwdriver

Awesome! I want to see more breakdowns. There is so much stuff in the trailer. I didn't catch some of the stuff they mention in the article.

Oooh, I'm getting so excited now!

The zooming/twisting effect was cool but it did make it hard to follow what exactly was happening.

Sarah Jane being there was cool. :) I definitely did see Clara too, but I didn't notice them shifting into each other or anything.

Oh man I didn't realize it was only 34 days now. That's like, a month. Exciting!

Very Matrix-y, bullet time. It fits the Doctor, though, as he zooms through the fourth dimension.

I could have sworn they're both looking into the crystal ball. It cuts to a close-up of Clara's face, so it's kind of hard to tell.

I downloaded a countdown clock to my phone. Who knew that watching numbers tick down could be so thrilling. :-)

That's true! I didn't think about it being Matrix-y or related to the fourth dimension, but those are both so right!

Haha that's great that there's even an app for that. :)

The countdown clock isn't an official BBC app but I still love it. :-)

I thought it looked like Clara was looking into the same crystal ball as Sarah Jane too, but I don't think that was intentional, I think it was just showing the companions changing through time like the Doctors were.

A breakdown I saw on io9.com (http://observationdeck.io9.com/24-things-you-missed-from-doctor-whos-50th-anniversary-1448618338/@laurendavis) says that when it cuts to Clara, it's still Sarah Jane's reflection in the ball. Does it mean something important? I like your notion that it's just a reference about the Companions changing, too, but who knows. This if Steven Moffat. Everything is important.
