I guess what this does suggest is that whatever the cliffhanger is, Amy isn't about to die...unless there's something wibbly wobbly at work! Then again we do have Nazis so maybe Doctor Who is going all Enterprise on us?

Insert Amy/straddling/riding jokes here!

Wibbly wobbly? Well,
there are the covers to DWM 433 to consider. Whatever they mean.

And no, I'm not referring to the fourth cover, which calls Rory "Rory Pond." And to think I thought the Doctor was just ribbing the guy. :)
 
Shiiiiittttt!!!

:)

My money would be on
River
hey time can be rewritten?

Maybe we see something that happens in the future in the opener then?
 
Cool. :techman:

Interesting quote from Moffat regarding said spoiler. Will he or wont have the bollocks to do it, im guessing he will, but it will be slowly explained throughout the season.

With Moff it could happen in any order, any time, any place and anywhere (yes, like Martini from the 80s). The mind boggles just trying to work possible scenarios out.

Could be a future echo though (as Red Dwarf did when it was good).

Ill have to get the cover with Smith on the front, its just cool. With a stetson and all. If i get the Amy cover ill look like a little dweeb whos buying it just to shake out a few knuckle babies.

I thought it was significant that the tagline for "A Christmas Carol" was "Christmastime can be rewritten."

Moffat is really hammering at the idea that time isn't fixed and can be rewritten, and now that he's done a time rewrite on the small scale of a single episode, I wouldn't be surprised if he's planning a time rewrite on a season-wide scale.
 
Moffat is incredibly predictable.

It'll be the bearded Doctor from the Trailers, who turns out to actually be from the Future and it'll be Amy who (accidently) does the dead; hence the "Big Secret" we've been told she'll have this year.
 
TBH I just can't bring myself to be be bothered about such teases, since we know it'll get worked around. Presumably River will kill a Doctor, like they've hinted at all last year (and if not it'll be a letdown - but that's an increasing problem with River; she's going the Grandfather Paradox route, where if they follow through on the teases then it's all been given away too obviously, and if they don't it's a copout).

Likewise I can't bring myself to believe the "game-changing cliffhanger" would be *that* game-changing when they can swap one of the pre-cliffhanger episodes with one of the post-cliffhanger ones as they've done, with the same lead cast...

Still can't wait for the season though, as I'm sure, despite the above niggles, that it'll be great!

Yeah, to be honest I think the phrase Game changing gets bandied about far too much these days...but you never know, in a few months time we might all picking our jaws up off the floor. Like you, even if it isn't that game changing I'm sure it won't ruin the series.
 
They say these episodes will "Change the Doctor Forever" or "He'll fly so high and fall even lower than before"

but we know that's not true.

At the end of the day he's still battling daleks,cybermen and zooming around with the TARDIS.

Unless he loses an eye or something, nothing will ultimately change. If he does lose an eye then he'll just regenerate another one.
 
Oh...that would explain the notice I saw at the Doctor Who Experience today, that's today's Twitter password was Spoilers.
 
Looks a bit like The Idiot's Lantern. Moffat referenced that story in The Beast Below with the Magpie sign.

As for the death, perhaps River does die and this somehow screws up the Doctor's timeline, making him forget she existed or something-a sort of reverse of what occurred with Amy when Rory "died". All this is speculation of course. Also I wonder if the Silence will have something to do with the Ood, who were in the first trailer.
 
Cross-posted from another Thread, spoilers from today's times after the critics got to see the first two episodes.

The first episode finds us in Utah. River Song (Alex Kingston), Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) have all been invited, by a stranger, to meet for a picnic in the middle of the desert, but find out — fewer than four minutes in — that it is actually a wake.

It turns out, to gasps from the screening audience, that all the rumours were true: a major cast member does die in this series. A major cast character. They set fire to this person. The sci-fi forums will be ablaze with the space-time consequences.

I can tell you that major new baddies have arrived, with faces like skulls made of roots. They look like Edvard Munch’s The Scream, but with their mouths covered in skin, like a sinew tarpaulin. These aliens have one very effective weapon: you forget them as soon as you stop looking at them. As the audience only sees what the protagonists remember, the sudden jumps in time, and the physical consequences that have unravelled during the amnesia, lead to some genuinely startling moments.
