Chairman Capone posted: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. Actually Moffat had the idea for the 50th, that in the Black Archive they would have the Peter Cushing movie posters up, because in the Doctor Who universe those films exist as a fictional retelling of real events. I was there when he said this. So we know he's had similar ideas before, which means it's only a small skip to having the season mystery be built around a massive Doctor Who fan who manages to enter the reality of the 'show' and side with the Cybermen in an attempt to meet her boyfriend.

Not only would that reveal by awful, but the general fandom would love it and embrace it and it would become even more popular than River and at that point I'd have to find the tallest bridge around and jump.

Let's not forget the jacket thing from Time of Angels. Two camps, one arguing the jacket was a production error and the other that it was deliberate.

People were also arguing that the time on Amy's alarm clock being set to AM, not PM was significant, and that came to nothing. At the end of the day any continuity error can in theory be a critical plot point. Which is why I want the Doctor to battle a villainous race of sentient continuity errors.

The_Doctor posted:It's a parked bus in a forest. It's definitely meant to be there. Reminder that the context for the jacket thing was the "Rory is a nurse from the past" thing due to a production error on his name badge, and the Garth Merenghi style clock flipping over multiple numbers for no reason production error.

We'll see what comes of it. Again, it's been done well before-but if they go the wrong way with it, especially in regards to Missy, it could be just kind of really awful.

The text beside the Doctor/Clara pic is actually for 'The Maze Runner', an advertising strapline - "It's a-maze-ing!". So they covered an advert for a movie, which is fair enough. But they covered it with a 4th wall breaking picture of the Doctor, Clara and the TARDIS.

The Senator Giroux posted:What WAS the thing with the badge? I've heard it brought up but I don't think I've ever heard what it was supposed to be. Rory's badge has November 20, 1990 listed as its date of issue. A lot of people made a lot of this, especially since Moffat had teased at one point that Amy would actually be from the mid-nineties. This turned out to be one of his coy little half-lies, in reference to the fact that the Doctor first meets Amy in 1996. When she's the wee Amelia Pond.

A far more likely explanation is that the bus was rented, placed in the shot, they didn't notice the advert on the side until afterwards, and didn't want to waste money with a reshoot. So now it's an easter egg. You turbonerds.

Do you think they hired blind set dressers, or what? Or really inattentive set dressers who also have face blindness? thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Oct 23, 2014 |
