Riptor posted:did you even look at the picture No, no, you see, clearly this is meant to be an intentional hint that a long-forgotten location from a 50 year-old serial is returning. After all, if it had been a mistake, they would have just changed the bus and reshot the scene, what with the infinite time and budget that all modern BBC shows have.

There's a crazy amount of cognitive dissonance to equate production gaffes like boom mics in shots and incorrect dates on badges that aren't meant to be focal points and having a full sized ad for your own show ON your show. The first is tiny; the latter is not. The first should be taken care of by studious and careful people who do their job, but are somewhat (only somewhat) forgivable because they are small and moderately easy to miss and probably only reviewed by one or two people; the latter would require such massive gaps in mental processing power by: everyone on set (actors, extras, directors, camera operators, sound engineers, etc); everyone reviewing test footage; the director of photography; the handful of people that presumably review the edited episode and whatever other hands view it before it gets to air because I'm sure I'm missing a few as I'm not a televisionologist. Possible, but it would be a massive oversight by everyone everywhere. The two do not equate. I'd be more willing to accept that the trailer was cut from earlier footage that hadn't had the ad digitally replaced due to a rush - I know for certain they do a lot of sign replacing digitally now rather than mock up a physical new one, but even that's a massive stretch.

Here's the shot uncropped in 1080. Unless the shot lingers for more than a second, there's no way anyone would ever notice what the poster is. It's to show "holy poo poo, we're definitely in London and look at all these trees  "Turbonerds.

I'm not saying it's the same, I'm saying that the idea that there aren't accidents is silly. E: And yeah, it's a single brief shot that has an ad that's obscured and out of focus. Doctor Spaceman fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Oct 24, 2014 |

As a Clockwise, she can go back and forth between various parallel universes and just happened to have picked up the ad from the same universe that Beep The Meep fought the 4th Doctor in. EDIT: It's obvious - it's why Big Finish cancelled her series and also why Beep The Meep is conspicuously absent from any and all comics, audios, and books lately. Yes... that's the reason.

Honestly I would buy Moffat being so up his rear end that he'd do it. But on reflection, this next episode and the final two parter apparently constitute a single, huge, freaky-as-gently caress cyberman story. Even if the next episode only leads into it and isn't part of the same arc (ala Utopia), it'd gently caress up the finale's drive way too much because of clutter.

No wonder Paul Magrs has been so active promoting his new, not-even-remotely-Wildthyme-related book on Facebook lately! It all fits together! Another masterstroke of intricate plotting by Moffat that only we, the true geniuses, can see!

Burkion posted:gently caress you might be right. Nope, Missy is going to be opposed to the Cybermen because they stop death, prolonging the lives of the converted unnaturally and stopping her from doing ... whatever it is she is doing. The Doctor will have to team up with her, finding out a little bit of her plan and then she will escape in the final moments to be a returning villain next season, with only a little bit about her explained. Maybe it will end with her having Danny in her clutches or some poo poo. Don't forget that Moffat has said he's planned the next season worth of storylines and has been revving up for his new on going plot.

Nah, dude. This isn't Supernatural, we're not going to see Heaven any more than we learned the Doctor's name. Missy's gonna be the hip new Cyberplanner and Heaven will be her hip new marketing plan. Should be noted I'm basing this entirely on: Deep Breath: "needy game player" is a p good description of a parisitic chessbot. Also, Mr. Clever knew that Clara was The Impossible Girl. Flatline: "Clara, my Clara" is an Eleven line. Typing this it occurs to me that Missy may be Clara as 11 saw her: his mysterious deathless governess girlfriend. She's even got the Doctor's morality: Who could object to a full natural life followed by an eternity of Cyberperfection? *cough*Blowjobslab*cough*c:\people\riversong.exe*cough* Mark my words, Missy is that Cybermite that zips away at the end of Nightmare in Silver.

DoctorWhat liked it, but it's only a matter of time before he changes his mind because of the rolling bandwagon of hate it's generated due to arguing that kids with mental problems shouldn't take their pills. The poster meant nothing. The trees are our friends. Taking pills for mental health problems is bad. The Doctor will leave children to die without a second thought. More odd-couple level poo poo from Danny and Clara.
