Yeah, but only the first one is readily available. The second is confirmed real, but no one's been able to get the full episode. 3-6 are rumored to be floating around in the dark corners of the internet too.

Were they using music from the Dark Knight as temp music in Deep Breath? If it wasn't, it was very similar.

I noticed that too. It was really weird. I'm also fine never seeing the Victorian people again.

Yeah to clarify, we watched the work print.

I'm honestly not sure what they're going to cut- or what they could add. Which is why I feel perfectly fine making my opinion on the episode known here. If it was one of those deals where it was just random scenes or incomplete in obvious glaring ways, or with entire scenes missing, that'd be one thing.

Here there is only one slight jump cut, that seemed to shave off a few seconds at most, near the very end. Beyond that, it looked whole, just without the finished effects and transitions.

And those did not affect my watch what so ever outside of an early laugh at a super incomplete T-Rex mock up.

yeah, I think the actual video editing is done, ie. those are the shots we'll see for that length in that order in the final episode

"The entire history of this incarnation is one of temporal orbits, retcons, paradoxes, parallel time lines, reiterations, and divergences. How anyone can make head or tail of all this chaos, I don't know."
If that's true, there's some bizarre rough shots in there.

It also didn't spoiler us on the most important thing, as it still used Matt Smith's opening credits. Giant Winking Capaldi head please.

I thought the audio mixing was pretty rough as well, sometime the sound effects almost drowned out the actors.

There's definitely a part near the end where what Capaldi is saying doesn't match his mouth, because there's supposed to be a cut of them overlooking the city while he says that stuff (I think there's a little message that indicates such), so I probably would say there's still some actual video editing to be done.

I really dislike the whole Clara "you are old now I don't know who you are" Last season she literally went through his entire past and visited every version of him, should should be aware that he can be old and that he regenerates and changes none of this should be a surprise at all.

To be fair, there was a line or two in the 50th that suggested she didn't really remember any of that.

Well even The Doctor doesn't quite know who he'll be with each new regeneration. They do often have markedly different personalities. And this is a whole new set of regenerations, which adds another unknown to the equation, for her.

Turns out the Doctor was the Master all along, starts traveling back along his timeline to gently caress with himself.

I'd never watch a Doctor Who series like this, but I'd love a series with this premise. It sounds like a good comic series that you'd see from Mark Waid or Brian K. Vaughn.

I really liked the scene where the Dr and Clara where bickering in the restaurant. Reminded me of 6 and Peri's relationship. Hope there is a lot more of that banter as they seemed to play off each other pretty well.

In the old series? No.

In the new series, whith Moffat at the helm and the shipping fandom in the back? Yes.

edit: Yeah sorry that made no sense,I misunderstood your question. Anyway, it's dumb as hell but since Moffat can write only one type of female character it would totally be something he would do.

Well at least before the Rani was an independent woman who didn't define herself by a man. Making this Missy the Rani would be making a terrible lovely character even worse.

Yeah that was my gut instinct but I honestly could not remember if the Rani is someone fans liked or disliked, and whether or not this Missy would be an improvement. Thanks guys.

The Rani is a genius. We know this because the Doctor and the Master keep telling us this, and because she made a land mine that turns you into a tree.

Honestly, I think the relative popularity of the character simply comes from the fact that the series simply didn't have that many timelords. I mean, with a distinct personality, not background characters.

Given the leaked episodes any rename of the spoiler thread could be overreacted to, so I suggest something completely off the wall that would never happen.
