Seeing as I only watched the last one of this series, who was Dr. Simeon? I immediately assumed he was The Master...

And how come noone questioned the door opening either?
The Tardis is psychicly linked to everyone who has traveled in it. Being River was being projected through Clara, it's unsurprising that the Tardis could perceive her.
Also, the last episode is a cop out. They don't tell you his name ><
And what about the Silence? What happened to that Cult? They kinda...disappeared.
The silence got wiped out after the moon broadcast.

I really liked how they got the other doctors in there.
Spoiler:
I'm thinking maybe the 11th doctor is actually the 12th.
Did anyone notice Susan is shown with the first Doctor, stealing the Tardis? I guess that would confirm that she was indeed a timelord. But still no one knows what happened to her.

Spoiler:
The whole theory that was going around before this episode and was further helped by this is that after the 8th doctor, there was a 9th doctor (not Eccleston) who was part of the Time War. All of that took place between McGann and Eccleston. So now, we have a very strong indication that Hurt was the 9th body, but not the 9th doctor. So the timeline looks like this
- 'Valeyard' - Not a Doctor, between 12th and 13th Regeneration
As for Susan, it was always assumed that she was a time lord just based off of the history presented in her episodes. We know what happened to her. She decided to stay in 22nd Century Earth after the Dalek Invasion. She also shows up later during the 5 doctors episode.

Except Hurt is one of the Doctors, since he is labeled as such in this episode.

Spoiler:
Correct-ish. The dialogue right before that is that he is the version of the Doctor that didn't take the name because he was the one who broke the promise. I think it was silly that they labelled it like that at the end but I think it was so they made it perfectly clear that Hurt was 'technically' the doctor even if he didn't take the name.

But what does everyone think of Hurt as the new Doctor? I'm pretty impressed with the choice.

He isn't the 'new doctor'.
Matt Smith is still 'The Doctor'. Hurt is either a past or future doctor depending on the theory. My money is on past since it would be silly to make the same mistake as they did in the past and use an actor for a future doctor when there is no way that they could still have him around in 5-10-15 years. Although, it could be possible that he is the next doctor. Unlikely, since that would mean the series is about to take a dark, dark turn.
I still standby him being the Time War regeneration and not a doctor. It is also very possible that they chose him as the 'old' version of Paul McGann. If you look at his outfit, it is similar to what McGann wears during his tenure. I.e. McGann was the one who eventually went to the Time War and then lost the name of the doctor based on his actions.

I meant "New Doctor" in the sense that he seems to be the new series* lead.
I was under the impression that Smith was done doing the show after this year, and assumed since Hurt was clearly introduced as "The Doctor" at the end of the episode that he was going to be the main guy of the series* going forward.
*I know you call it differently in the UK and I always get series and season mixed up.

I don't think that is the case, Hurt will probably just be around for the special in November and then we will either have one more series of Smith or a brand new Doctor.

Damn though. I'm not a huge Smith fan. Was looking forward to a less goofy/eccentric, more sinister/insane Doctor.

So not doctor who? When has Doctor Who ever not been goofy/eccentric? Basically you either get goofy or eccentric on each Doctor (sometimes both). That's how he works. If you're looking for sinister/insane, you're looking for the Master. edit: The whole idea of a 'evil doctor' has been in continuity before with the Valeyard and now exists with the HurtDoctor. It has never been the main character or series doctor, however, and I doubt it ever will.
And your mom's irish boyfriend is pulling crud out his butt.

Fair enough. I don't want an evil Doctor though. Just one who is portrayed as a little darker. I just find Smith to be on the goofier end of the spectrum. Maybe it's the writing he's had lately.

Really? I'm kind of a fan of Smith because he portrays the eccentricity and range of Doctor Who rather well. I think Tennant was goofier (although I rather liked Tennant).
Oh well, opinions may vary.

True story. And when it comes to Dr. Who the amount of varying opinions is truly epic.

I thought Tennant's Doctor had a bit more range, he was goofier at times, but also had a darker side than Smith, although that may be in part due to the writing.
