World Class Series: New Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Teaser Released

I have lived in New England for most of my life, and in Boston for more than half of that time, and unless you’ve lived here for any length to time, you don’t know what it’s like when the Boston Red Sox make it to the World Series. Oh sure, for new residents of the area, it seems almost like a common enough occurrence, but for a very long time, through the 70s, 80s and 90s, it felt as likely as seeing decent production values in an episode of Doctor Who.

So what this means is that most of the staff of Crisis On Infinite Midlives started drinking well before the Red Sox / Tigers game started yesterday at 8 p.m., we switched to shots when Shane Victorino hit his grand slam home run, and things got a little hazy after that. So we have spent most of the day quite damaged, being of a certain age where the idea of the Red Sox in the World Series is still damn exciting.

As is the idea of Doctor Who with production values. So as a nod toward the fact that we are truly living in halcyon days, here is the latest teaser trailer for the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary episode, Day of The Doctor. It’s not the full trailer that was supposedly shown during San Diego Comic-Con this past July, but it is pretty cool, and most importantly: it is genre-related, and can be posted without too much unnecessary motion or sound to make our hangovers fire up.

Since Game One of the series starts on Wednesday, expect several more barely coherent posts for the next week and a half. But in the meantime, you can check the teaser out after the jump.
