Wonder what the deal is with the funky way the TARDIS seems to be materializing inside the Oval Office?
Series 6 teaser!
- Thread starter Starkers
- Start date
Assuming the Doctor's little talk to Amy, Rory, and River comes right before the materialization (in other words, the sequence of events as we see it in the trailer), I suspect that the TARDIS was there, but somehow cloaked. Maybe River visited a Romulan Warbird and absconded with their cloaking device? 
British people sure have some funny concepts about "America" in terms of feel and aesthetic, etc (what is America? UTAH! COWBOY HATS!). I suppose that's only fair considering what we Americans envision as being British (what is Britain? TEA! THEY LOVE TEA! STIFF, PRIM AND PROPER ATTITUDES!)
Nice to know we are both equally silly when it comes to these things.
P.S.
Is that secret service agent supposed to be Abraham Bolden?
That's my guess as well (aside from the Romulan bit).Assuming the Doctor's little talk to Amy, Rory, and River comes right before the materialization (in other words, the sequence of events as we see it in the trailer), I suspect that the TARDIS was there, but somehow cloaked.

Lots of new footage, including a glimpse at the aliens from the opening two-parter and Mark Sheppard (who, I believe, narrated the trailer).
Have I mentioned recently how much I can't wait?
I wonder if the "ball of fire" Amy & Rory see in the Coral control room is responsible for blowing up that control room and not so much the Doctor's overdue and radiation powered regeneration like we always assumed.
And that the explosion was Omega's anti-matter self colliding with normal matter and taking over the TARDIS.
OK...caffeine fit over.

Why is everyone so sure that a coral control room means we're seeing another perspective/view of 10 regenerating? Even if this IS our TARDIS and even if this is somehow a glimpse into the past (unlikely) there are so many other moments this could be.
Also, why is everyone assuming coral = 10? Coral = 9 before it = 10. If The Doctor has any say at all in how his console room looks, then coral is more a reflection of 9 than 10. 10 just liked it and kept it, but 9 went from Gothic Console room to Coral.
Just sayin'.
10 has only been dead 12 episodes and 1 special. His body isn't even cold yet. Let him rest for a few more years.
The Doctor's sick of other entities claiming to be more dangerous than he is. The Doctor doesn't enjoy it, but he knows he's the most dangerous thing in the universe. And how much he hates himself is evident in episodes like "Amy's Choice".
Maybe all that Time Lord arsing around in The End of Time allowed Omega to crop up, he focuses on the last Tardis which is the Doctor's and so causing it to blow up a bit while he regenerates (which was quite soon after that gun shooting the magic gubbins machine, though stupidly unsoon relatively after Tennant tours his idiots), and that also starts the cracks off and all the "silence will fall" business which is pretty much the first thing he encounters after regenerating and follows him. So while all this gets explained, we see the exploding coral and that being the point Omega crops up. It also explains the exploding Tardis in TBB, which we didn't get an explanation for. Like Omega's second go at blowing things up.
Well obviously I don't know. This is the first speculation that comes to mind if I let my thoughts wander at it a bit. In actual fact, it could be anything at all. And as much as we all think it might be, it's quite possible it won't be Omega at all.
And thanks to the BBCA trailer, we finally get to see the new aliens.

Given the nature of the Time War it's self...if Omega is the villain this series we know that the Master, Davros, and elements of Dalek's survived the Time War. It's possible that Omega was used or indeed used the event it's self to escape.
I wonder if we'll see any other old console rooms.
Why are we putting stills from the trailer in spoiler quotes?
Oh well, I'll do it too.
What's this building?
Does anyone wonder if it might be the TARDIS outside of its box?
I like that idea, but it is way too small, unless the Doctor has just jettisoned every other bit of the TARDIS off by now, cause really it should be a lot bigger, he did afteral say there is still a swimming pool in there, in the library or something, so its probably still bigger than that pic is showing, unless it is a different TARDIS, like the lodger one.

Or maybe some tinkering with the chameleon circuit.
I just hope this season, somewhere, somehow, we see more of the inside of the TARDIS beyond the control room.

^ That's what I was thinking and I hope we see more of the tardis rooms as well but doubt it.
Outside of a bottle story taking place entirely within the TARDIS (which I wouldn't mind) it couldn't hurt to show the occasional other room.
Unless the cheapskates don't want to build a set for one time use.

Doubtful, unless they can do a "Trials and Tribble-ations" kind of thing with old footage (but the image resolution would be piss-poor), or there's a fan-made set the production could use (much like "Curse of the Fatal Death"). Building the set for any old era would be cost prohibitive.
Or Big Bang II.
Omega probably wouldn't need to escape the Time Lock, as everyone else did, because he's already outside of time, banished to the Anti-Matter Universe. But when the universe was ending and restarted, perhaps Omega could have used that to escape.

Also, wasn't it strongly hinted that the TARDIS is the exact size of Belgium?
The general shape of those aliens seem reminiscent of
The Cybermen. We know there's a Cybermat showing up later in the season, and there have been many rumors about a story set in an Egyptian tomb that contains mummies that turn out to be Cybermen. Maybe that's the connection.
