Spoilery bits

The first episode is going to feature every single Dalek that's ever been. Pretty cool.
The second episode might be called Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. But it features big robots and Cleopatra.
The third is the Western.
The fourth features Cubes and UNIT!
The fifth is New York, Amy and Rory leave.
The sixth is the christmas special with new companion.

This is the eleventh episode I believe. Also rumours are the new companion is called Clara.

I'm watching the episode where the UFO crashes into Big Ben. Rose's mom is a stupid bitch.

Matt Smith confirmed that it the new season airs next month!

I really hope it ends up being better than last season. Come on, Moffat! Win my heart back!

Word!

So many brilliant things about last season, but... it's less than the sum of its parts, sadly. Except The Girl Who Waited. That's probably

Titles for the first three episodes are out, now.

1. Asylum of the Daleks
2. Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
3. A Town Called Mercy

Clips of 2. and 3. were played at ComicCon. I have no interest in seeing them right now - we're only a month (and, probably, a half) away, I'd rather the episodes remain a surprise. But, man. They weren't kidding when they said they were slutting it up, title-wise. A whole series of Let's Kill Hitlers. Bring it on.

Last season started out so well. The first episode was my favorite. But then I feel like Moffat tried to include so many tricky and confusing things that it was finally to much for him. He couldn't keep up and lost control. By the finale, there was no significance to anything; everything seem arbitrary.

I agree except that The Doctor's Wife was the best part about last season. Just too ambitious for Moffat, I think.

Implode · « **Reply #1514 on:** July 16, 2012, 04:08:04 PM »

That's right. That episode was great too. The first two and The Doctor's Wife are easily way better than everything else that season.

I thought the first half of the last season was incredible apart from the pirates one which was great fun but nothing more. The second half was still good, but the end was a bit anticlimactic. I don't see what was so ambitious or OTT about it, if anything I thought the second half ended up being too mild.

If it helps, I'd sincerely recommend that anyone who's spoiler-averse avoids that trailer. It's a fairly cool trailer, but I got very twitchy about the last scene. No idea how much it difference it'll make once I've seen the actual episode, but I get the impression it ruins the end of Episode 1.

So yeah, I think you've probably got the right idea. And hopefully, this'll make it easier to resist. Hopefully.

I'm really excited for "the science of doctor who" on bbc this Saturday! We watched the nerdist comic con and comic con toys last week, and couldn't stop laughing.

Very excited for this series to start!

robwebster · « **Reply #1530 on:** August 09, 2012, 03:13:07 AM »

Same! It feels like an aeon since the last series. As far as I'm aware, this has been the longest spell without any Doctor Who since the show came back. Believed to be August 25th, though, so if that's true there's not long left. Mark your calendars.

In the meantime - David Tennant interview! https://www.g4tv.com/videos/60187/david-tennant-talks-spies-of-warsaw-doctor-who/ Ostensibly for a new project, but they spend most of it talking about Doctor Who. Very funny. Didn't realise it, but I've missed David Tennant being on our screens.

More intriguing, though, is what Christopher Eccleston's been up to. A report from a National Theatre Q&A session, taken from Doctor Who News...

"In response to a question about whether he felt he'd taken the character as far as he could he (very tellingly) said he felt that one series isn't enough to get under the skin of the character and that if he'd had two or three series he'd have developed the role considerably. He said that if you looked at the other Doctors (with the exception of Tom Baker) you can see them working out how to play the character through their first series because it's such a complex and challenging role. He said several times that there was more for him to do with the character."

That's a huge about-turn from "Never bathe in the same river twice." I reckon he got a phone call.

David Tennant on Attack of the Show?

Awesome! And you're right, Eccleston's opinion has gone a complete 180.

Mind = Blown

Also: have they aired the episode yet where the set includes an old gothic university stairwell with a massive pendulum in the middle of it yet? (at least I hope they actually did decide to film there in the end).

No idea! Could've done. Could be in the Beast Below or some such? They film a lot of episodes, on a lot of locations, some of which end up looking like they do in real life and others don't at all. When was it filmed?

Random question: how do you guys feel about River Song?

Most people I talk to and I agree that her character went down the toilet in the last season.

Nekov · « **Reply #1539 on:** August 28, 2012, 02:11:36 PM »

I'll agree there. The first time she showed up was very interesting but during the last season she got way too much involvement in the story.
