I guess I'm spoiled as to the nature of the Titanic. I mostly like to avoid clips from the actual episode, but I'm tempted.

(Does he really say he's 903? Getting that specific about it when it doesn't fit in with the old series' continuity and also implies rather unpleasant things about the duration of his 9th incarnation seems kinda dumb.)

[nonelvis]

He really does say he's 903. Since RTD opened this can of worms himself back in "Aliens of London," he probably considers this line consistent with his continuity, and therefore doesn't give a shit what any other fan thinks. (We'll all just fanwank it anyway as the Doctor's vanity causing him to lie about his age, right?)

If it helps you make a decision about whether to watch the clip, there's no dialogue in any of the scenes other than this voice-over at the end.

D'oh. "900" sounds more like an estimate than a specific, exact age, but if he's really setting it in stone that three years have elapsed since "Aliens of London," that really limits interpretation. I always figured he did spend about two years traveling with Rose, but he also spent a year on the Valiant and didn't get it erased, and that leaves him very little time to have traveled with Martha (even though months probably elapsed in both "Human Nature" and "Blink") and almost no gap between TRB and S&J.

And that really, really is not the kind of thing one ought to be trying to analyze about this show. Besides, commercial voice-overs aren't canon.

This is the trailer on the Advent calendar, then?

Stop trying to make sense of RTD's logic. That way lies madness.

Yes, it's the trailer on the Advent calendar, but someone embedded a higher-quality version at http://community.livejournal.com/doctorwho/2426730.html.
