Yeah, the Valeyard as an enemy would be pretty good, a lot better than trudging the master out again if you ask me.

Unless they get Cumberbatch to play the Master. :allears:

You know, I wish the tardis navigation system would go on the fritz again.

It was never on the fritz. She always takes the Doctor where he needs to go. :moffat:

I found this thing today. It's an infographic that (tries to) explain the Doctor/River timeline spaghetti. I can't imagine how much :spergin: it took to compile this.
EDIT: a link would be helpful, wouldn't it?

But I thought Smith was confirmed through season 8?

As much as I enjoy Matt Smith, I would be thrilled if they chose an older actor.

INTRODUCING JOHN HURT AS THE DOCTOR.
Season 8 will all be a flashback of the time war lived out in the Doctor's memory as he regenerates from 11-12.

I don't know that really counts since that took about ten seconds of explanation and was really foreshadowing more than laid-in clues.

9's run/ BADWOLF was one idea that was subtly laid throughout the season. It doesn't really compare to the 3-season long, convoluted, hooks-on-hooks, shenanigans that have been going on since Moff took over.

That's what I was thinking. Looks right. Just threw me off because that looks like the red dress/toolbelt thing from Asylum

Couldn't it be safe to assume this is the Oswin version of Clara, presumably some time before she goes to the Asylum? Timey-wimey and all that.

The descriptions of the 50th anniversary trailer from comic-con are confirming it.

But it looks like Moff has put the kibosh on any actual videos getting out before the official release, on pain of no more comic-con presentations in the future. Considering Who fans' track record when people ask nicely (or threaten to take their ball and go home, in this case), I don't expect we'll see a leak.

Wow yeah that was rubbish.

Regarding :words: about regeneration:

the Christmas Special should be an hour of Matt Smith dying and regenerating into various actors, who promptly die and regenerate. After about 40 of these, Bill Bailey regenerates into Capaldi, Moff walks on to the set, flips a double bird and says, "Now shut the gently caress up about it."

This is Doctor Who. Everything/Nothing is canon.

Moffat already wrote the Curse of the Fatal Death.

Wow. I didn't even know that was a Thing. Thanks for enlightening me! :) Either way the regeneration argument feels pretty much ado about nothing. Moff's going to Moff; the lovers will love it and the haters will hate it, with a few swing votes in between; and the show will go on. Personally, I'll be happy to see the three-season spanning story arcs get tied up.

The only one where it matters what number he is is Ten because the actor's stage name has "Ten" in it.

Ten-in't :haw:
