I'm too lazy to check if they're one of the more reputable ones, but a spoilerhound is saying that Missy and Seb (Chris Addison) are part of an organization that abducts people near death and offers them eternal life. Through cyber-conversion. Makes sense with what we know so far. I'd assume the fried police hand was a cop out of some sort.

Everyone's favorite character of the revival is coming back. The orange space suit!! Also a really gaunt looking Al Pacino.

It's a terrible error that Orson Pink's orange spacesuit had the Sanctuary Base 6 patch still on it (when it shouldn't), but Capaldi's (which is the only spacesuit that should) doesn't. Edit: also the Moonbase (  ) team's suits are very influenced by Alien. Very apt considering the story.  The_Doctor fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Oct 2, 2014 |

Reusing poo poo is a time-honored genre fiction tradition and I'm pretty sure Doctor Who is the record holder for it, why stop now.

Mummy on the Orient Express is getting disappointingly "meh" advanced reviews. Although the countdown timer that appears on screen every time someone sees the mummy sounds interesting.

None that I've heard of. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see her again until Dark Water. I hope I'm wrong, though.

They didn't put her in the cast list either, but she's there. The BBC decided last minute to change the synopses to not include Clara to ramp up the tension after their fight. But you can see her dressed as a flapper girl briefly in one of the promos. e: I take it back, one more review popped up claiming it's excellent.

This episode has gotten the most positive reception upon airing so basically whoever those reviewers are pretty much assholes. Also there's the full lounge version of don't stop me now which has spoilers for future episodes but besides the Cybermen marching around I don't remember which ones are or aren't. Tt can't really be discussed in the non spoiler thread, anyway.

So in the trailer for Next Time... there's a bus, with an advert on the side for popular children's TV show, Doctor Who: Combine that with the girl in the red and the wolf.. Return to the Land of Fiction anyone?

Every other sci-fi show has done it. "Eerie Indiana" did it over 20 years ago. "Supernatural" did it. I'm kind of surprised it's taken Who 51 years to do it. If that is what's going on.

I heard Supernatural actually managed to pull it off. I think the problem right now is not that it's necessarily a bad premise, it could work for a one-off episode that doesn't take itself at all seriously. It's that it's incredibly ridiculous idea for the major twist of a season arc.

If that is what's going on. Didn't one of the 8th Doctor books or comics do this, which was its explanation for the Peter Cushing Doctor or something like that? Or maybe my memory is just completely making this up.
