He says: Clara, be my pal. Tell me, am I a good man?
He seems to be saying it in a very sacrcastic way, comes across very dark indeed, and the whole dark burning tardis console room.
This is going to be good.

Well, the Master DID say that the Valeyard happened somewhere between the Doctor's twelfth and final incarnations. While the Master probably didn't know about the new cycle, admittedly there's still a LOT of time now for this to happen.

Well, it airs on television, therefore making it a "telemovie." Unless, you're suggesting they're going to try another theatrical screening. I don't know, I suppose we shouldn't rule anything out, Game of Thrones didn't announce theatrical screenings of their finale until less than a month in advance. But personally, I'll be more surprised if they do a theatrical screening of Deep Breath than if they don't.
When British TV talks about an episode of a drama being "Feature" length it's usually just a fancy way of say it's around twice as long as normal (akin, for example, to The Way of the Warrior), it doesn't have anything to do with what does and doesn't count as the the length for an actual film.
I wonder if the way the Dr used some of his regen as a weapon before he changed, has in some way affected this Dr.
But don't all of his companions who see the doctor change have the same reaction. I seem to remember everyone from Polly to Rose having the same reaction. Who is this person and what happened to my doctor reaction.
Though the getting a second regen cycle, Galifrey being back and all that energy must of changed the doctor a bit. Is it Aug. 23rd yet?

I doubt it. The Doctor directing his regeneration energy to wipe out the Daleks is hardly any different from the Tenth Doctor wrecking his console room during his regeneration.
A thought I just had, regarding this "feature length" label, a 90 minute "double episode" could actually explain Moffat's rather sloppy form of stating how many episodes were in this season. I refer back to when he said there were "12 or 13" episodes. Is it possible he just didn't know if the premiere would count as one or two?
Could be, also depending on how they edit for repeats. I wonder if it will be split into two episodes in repeats and on the dvd.
Unless it's a specific two-parter it'll count as one episode, as for edited why would the BBC edit it? I might be mistaken but when episodes are repeated/re-run on BBC3 they aren't edited.
Might get split and edited for BBC America, though.
And BBCA likes to add tons of annoying commercials in their tv shows.
They're a commercial network. Without money, they don't operate.
I find it interesting to watch Doctor Who with commercials, because the commercial breaks illustrate the narrative structure and point out some of the glaring weaknesses of the series. Commercial breaks give the viewer time to think about and be critical of the show as it's happening, and Moffat-era Doctor Who seems to be something written to be experienced and not thought about.
I can see it being split into two episodes for re-runs, but the DVD would most certainly have the original 90 minute version.
There are edited down versions of extended episodes like Last of the Time Lords, Journey's End, and The Eleventh Hour for international markets.
I've only seen the pared down version of Last of the Time Lords, which while it can still be followed, isn't nearly as enjoyable as the full version is. I've heard the chopped down versions of Journey's End and The Eleventh Hour are a complete mess, though.
"Journey's End" is long enough that it could be split into two episodes. Instead, BBC America guts it like a fish to fit it into an hour-long runtime (with commercials, that would be about 42 minutes).
"The Eleventh Hour" isn't edited well. If I remember, they cut out the "fish fingers and custard" scene! You can follow it, but if you know the episode you know you're missing stuff.
If I remember right I think they took out the costume run through, and a couple of other things. I hate the fact they cut stuff out, and they always seem to cut stuff that is relevant to the episode. Or at least to me, now seeing Matt Smith half naked isn't the only reason I wish they hadn't edited that out. I thought it was a nice scene and to really see that the doctor puts some thought into what he wears.
Oh and to response to another poster, yes I know that is how BBCA makes money. All of the networks make money out of that. But I still rather watch doctor who in a non edited way.

Well, the Master DID say that the Valeyard happened somewhere between the Doctor's twelfth and final incarnations. While the Master probably didn't know about the new cycle, admittedly there's still a LOT of time now for this to happen.

Biologically speaking that would be between Tennant (12) and Smith (13).
Might explain why the Tardis exploded when Tennant regenerated in The End of Time.
BBCA's first showing of Eleventh Hour was extra long, but got edited down for subsequent airings. 1 or 2 other episodes too I think.
I'm certain this will be the same deal.

I think the point is he said 12th and final, not 12th and 13th.
^ Yep, big difference now, but when those words were originally uttered, we thought that's what it meant--that the final was the 13th. However, there is potentially a very long time span between the 12th and final incarnation. We have no idea when the final one will be!
Basically recent events have changed the meaning of that line!
