Umbra Dubium: Nov 23, 2007; The British Empire was built on cups of tea, and if you think I'm going into battle without one, you're sorely mistaken!

Oh gently caress it, just have a season where the Doctor and the Master have a ridiculous battle through time and every episode one or both of them get(s) blown the gently caress up and have to regenerate. And J.B. Smoove.

Like how HIGNFY just has guest hosts now? Works for me.

As long as it's never Boris.

We all know Paul McGann filmed a regeneration scene... But what if it was Matt Smith's regeneration?

The 50th would be neat if Eleven buys the farm at the beginning and keeps de-regenerating into different incarnations over the course of the episode. Would explain why they all look older, plus give them all an equal amount of screentime.

Then at the end a new face shows up.

He's regenerating in the Christmas special though, and most of the other Doctors have already said that they are not in the 50th.

I know, it's just an idea.

Wasn't there a rumour about Davison being cast already? Playing someone other than the Fifth, too.

On the far right it almost looks like a ghost 10 next to Hurt. Possibly Hand10?

If I wish hard enough it actually looks like Omega.

John Hurt with a Fauxhawk. Hmm.

Yeah, he managed to both channel Troughton and make it his own. I know a lot people have some issues with the Tennant hears, but I'm really glad to see him back and it's great that he had the opportunity to work with Matt Smith.

Tennant's always been a very good actor, he's just been dealt some really lovely material at times.

Wooden Cyberman looks pretty cool?

It looks like it's made out of modelling clay. Which it probably is.

I think the idea is cool, it's just been executed very lazily. It follows the design too closely, when it would be better approximated with the shapes wood can actually be made of if it's supposed to be a crudely fashioned Cyberman.

Sub-par effects in Doctor Who? Verity must be rolling in her grave.

Ironically, it would look better if they had actually made it out of spare MDF and bits of dowelling left over in the workshop.

Anyone even vaguely familiar with the pro-wrestling spoiler thread will know that episode recaps are often phoned in by people who are barely paying attention, misconstrue important elements and get others just plain wrong.

An episode of Smackdown that looks utter poo poo on paper often turns out to be pretty good.

I'm hoping that the special only sounds awful because it's filtered through to us by a person willing to spoil Doctor Who in the first place. :colbert:

There are people interested in spoilers for something with stories written more poorly than porn? Here's my exclusive spoiler: someone will do something that will offend another person and then they will fight about it.

The show is recorded on a Tuesday night and is aired on the Friday night. People like knowing what's going to happen before it happens, even in fake fighting.

My preferred explanation is from tumblr or twitter or something: he's a Scottish Roman.

"Lots of planets have a Rome!"

(q.v. that episode of Star Trek, etc.)

I reckon this this some sort of smoke screen. They pretend to film an episode with characters we've seen before and a generic new costume in order to throw people off the scent for actual spoilers of what's really going to happen in the new series.

What? Let me live in hope!

Shada + City of Death = Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Very very very precisely.

As much as I love all three of them, it's shameless.

Unless someone can explain what "Danny Pink" is an anagram of, your theory is invalid.

No mention of Janet Fielding's tweet earlier of this image, with this caption: "Now what are we up to? Only Time will tell..."

Oh, please let Tegan make a return like Sarah Jane did.

I think I'm supposed to recognise the building in the background, but it's currently eluding me.
