I agree with Wilf.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

OMG! Does anyone else think Wilf looks a bit silly doing an impression of Luke Skywalker in A New Hope?

No, not silly at all. He looked smashing!

And Steve Mollman, you aren't fooling anyone! Steve the Mole man! Steven M!

Reveal yourself!

I made everyone think combining my three previous episodes into one was brilliant with "Silence in the Library", so this time around I'll just start ripping off episodes of Coupling.

Works for me!

The part where Wilf is crying "I don't want to die" is already emotionally draining.

Doesn't he actually say, "I don't want you to die."? That's what I heard there, but I agree it's very emotional, especially with the Doctor's expression. Did I mention recently how great an actor David Tennant is?

Yes, he says "I don't want you to die." I was choked up by that little moment and it only last a few seconds! I can only hope the rest of the episode is that good.

By the way, do the Timelords shout "Gallifrey Oasis!" in that second trailer? That would explain a few points.

No, it's "Gallifrey rises!"

So, yes, I fully expect the Time Lords to raise holy hell upon Earth, only for them to agree to return it to the way it was and return to Gallifrey, in exchange for the Doctor's current incarnation -- costing him a regeneration -- to exact a measure of revenge for Gallifrey burning in the Time War. That sort of self-sacrifice would fall in with the "Caves of Androzani" theme that both Davies and Tennant have said exists in the story.

It'd be perfect for Davies' finale. The Time Lords are back, the Time War is somehow undone, and he gets to combine the endings of "The War Games" and "The Caves of Androzani." And legions of teenage girls across England will weep when their sex god Tennant must make the ultimate sacrifice for all.

That works for me. Here's hoping that's what we actually get.

I doubt The End of Time is going to clear anything up. After all, I saw neither Paul McGann or Christopher Eccleston in the guest cast for the episode.

If they were, that's something that they'd keep tightly under wraps.

That would make my day!!

Me, too!

Interestingly, when the first trailer for "The End of Time" was released, there was a lot talk online about a one-second close up shot of a man's eyes. Many people thought the eyes belonged to Christopher Eccleston.

Could something like that stay a secret, though?

sometimes yes.

Though one thing - is the British screen actors guild as narky about the credits as the American one? It's hard on U.S programs for the producers to hide a special appearance because they are required to list the actors in the credits.

Perhaps. Back in the days of Classic Who, the closing credits for the first episode of The King's Demons listed Sir Giles Estram being played by James Stoker, which is an anagram for "Master's Joke." Who knows if they can still do that?

 

[EJA]

The Doctor at the controls of a crashing vessel makes me think of The Caves of Androzani. I don't expect it to be anywhere near as good, mind you.

 

[Cutter John]

Is this it?


I agree with Wilf.

Yep, thats the one I posted earlier.

And someone was asking about the Doctors shredded clothes? Here are a couple of on set shots of Matt Smith post regeneration. http://alexwylieblog.wordpress.com/2009/10/06/zomg-11th-doctor-news/

 

[DimesDan]

Or they can just do some trick shots like a behind the head trick they did with Obama. LOL

I liked the idea of having President Obama appear in the Whoniverse, but the actor they hired to double for him looked nothing like the guy. I was really disappointed in that -- a multi-billion pound Crown corporation and they couldn't find a decent Obama impersonator in the whole of the United Kingdom?

Of course you did Sci, I to be honest rolled my eyes quiet a bit as I thought (thankfully wrongly) that after previous events the US had decided to impose some form of governance over the UK.

About the guy playing Obama, never mind, it's not like we actually saw his face, but I guess he could have done with some more grey in his hair as that really put me off his casting!

So is the reason Obama was included pandering to the American viewership (isn't Rusty out in LA trying to ply is services now) or that it would have been less impressive if a fat scots man was on TV saying he could save the world from recession?

Oh, about that clip, I had a bit of a crisis when I saw as regardless what people may or may not think about Murray Gold, This is Gallifrey - Our Childhood, Our Home is one of my favourite tracks on the series three soundtrack. Oh and Timothy Daulton just bloody rocks

It's funny that is he has a different tie. Also, Amy leaning up against the ice cream truck in the tight mini!

 

[Tom]

I would like to know what 'The Moment' is? My assumtion for the end of the Time war was that the 8th Doctor used the time vortex in much the same way Rose did, this resulted in his regeneration to the 9th doctor. Couple issues with that assumtion though, why did the Time Lords get killed also when we have seen (with Rose) that you could have just taken out the Daleks only, also the 9th doctor is so guilt ridden, like it was him that did the deed, not Eight.

 

[John Picard]

Or he fell off one of those high gangways without railings on the way to the council chamber.

Where is OSHA when you need them?

Ever since I was a young boy (which would be since the 1970's) I've often wondered why advanced, alien societies are always portrayed as having a citadel of prominence that is across a great chasm that can only be accessed via a very long bridge that has no guide rails.

I've always wondered why the more advanced the society, the more obsessed with ancient rituals that they seem to be...come on, you can travel through time and you need a Seer who scribbles on parchment with a quill?

I do wonder if there's some kind of access hatch at the bottom of that chasm on Gallifrey for the irritated and newly-regenerated Time Lord who wasn't watching where he was going to slip out...and an elevator leading back up to the main level:

"Hey, Fred! Nice new face...reading the paper while going across the Unprotected Chasm of Doom?"

"Shut up..."

Agreed Also add the goofier the clothing for said advanced society.

^Lol @particle^

With people asking if they can keep returning stars a secret, didn't they do that pretty well with Rose?
At the start of last series I recall that they even did special edits of preview epsiodes, like partners in crime so that reviewers got a whole episode but it wasn't untill they saw it on t.v that they got to see Rose. The level of hype around this I think they could pull of bringing back Mcgann or Eccelston and any true leaks would be burried under the massive internet buzz. Think about it, I could be a someone from the BBC leaking that Mcgann will be back in flashbacks for this episode and most of the people here will assume (rightly so) that I'm just b'sh*tting on the net like everyone else.

It's a sonic quill

 

[David cgc]

Who looks at a quill and thinks, "Oh, this could be a bit more sonic?"

 

[Mr Awe]

I'm firmly in the Reset Camp, in terms of where I think RTD is going with the story, that history will collapse and the universe will revert to its pre-Time War state. The scene in the bookstore comes, as we know, near the end, along with the scenes with Rose and Jack and Sarah Jane and Luke. Assuming the reset, I suspect that before history collapses and his own past unhappens, the Doctor will travel backward through his own timeline, to say goodbye to people that, ultimately, he will never know. The bookstore may be an indication that he's reached the pre-Time War universe, that history has collapsed and rebooted, and that his own life has now become fiction.[/spoiler]

Thats pretty heavy..

I so hope that *DOESN'T" happen! And, I don't think it will. I don't think RTD will undo his reign by making it so it never happened in the show!

I think there will be a mini-reset. The Immortality Machine will be commanded to return everyone to a previous state. For the humans, they will go back to the way they were, maybe even better. For the Doctor, he'll be his first incarnation, and the TARDIS will revert to its earlier version.

The Time Lords and Gallifrey will be back.

But, it won't be a reboot. None of that requires a reboot. The new series is doing so well that there's no reason for a reboot. RTD's ego probably would not allow a reboot that erases his contributions, in the show.

[Samurai8472]

Right now Amy is the Master.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Not if Amy's from the 80ies.

Mr Awe

RTD's sense of fun is bigger than his ego. If it served his story than he will reboot the entire show.

 

[Yminale]

Right now Amy is the Master.

If Amy dresses like that, than she can be my Master

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Right now I've got a mental image of the Master in a very tight female police/mini skirt costume.

Please notify an ambulance as I'm about to scratch my own eyes out.

 

[Samurai8472]

She'll be showing off alot of leg next season

There was just an exclusive audio clip on the radio, between The Doctor and The Master.

Master: Tell me. Where's your TARDIS?
Doctor: You could be so wonderful
Master: Where is it?
Doctor: You're a genius, you're stone-cold brilliant, you are. I swear you really are, but you could be so much more, you could be beautiful, with a mind like that, we could travel the stars. It would be my honour, because you don't need to own the universe, just see it. You have the privilege to see the whole and time and space. That's ownership enough.
Master: Would it stop then? The noise in my head?
Doctor: I can help
Master: I don't know what I would be without that noise.
Doctor: Wonder what I'd be without you.
Master: Yeah

Sounds like really bad slash fiction to me...
