Maybe they mean it's the end of Dr. Who and the show is cancelled.

Goddammit, goddammit, goddammit. WHAT'S GOING ON?!

Its going to be an announcement that all the previous Doctors are in the special.

The BBC has sent out a press release that is under embargo until midnight, so we've got a little under five hours until we get the news. And it's apparently big poo poo. So, it's either that cache of missing episodes, or ... bye bye, Matt.

I've got a wee bit of hope that the announcement is series 8 being renamed "Doctor Whos".

miasmacloud posted:No it's going to be an announcement that everyone's favorite cool sexy movie poster femme fatale River Song is in the 50th anniversary special, and that Steven Moffat will be stepping down as the show runner of Doctor Who to make a spin off like TW/SJA called "The adventures of a prehistoric reptile woman, her wife, and their potato companion". Not gonna lie, would watch dat show.

Strax, Vastra, and Jenny are all super cool and I don't know why people dislike them. Also I really hope we don't just get a continuous cycle of "Doctor for three years and then a new one".

It could be that we're getting four special episodes next year instead of a new series.

New doctor means you can have a completely different persona and mannerisms. However with that said I really do enjoy Matt Smith, so I hope he sticks around for a while longer!

I sincerely doubt they would cocktease bad news like this. Even if Smith is departing, expect some mention of who (sic) the next doctor will be.

The article mentioned Damien Lewis, and while I don't think that's very likely, I would be 100% ok with that choice.
