Series 9 - Coming September 19! (And a trailer!)

[StCoop]

You mean something wrong besides it blatantly contradicting all we know of the Doctor's early years and regenerative cycle up to this point?

Remember, Moffat got away with Warrior only because 1) Nine wouldn't come back and 2) it's John freaking Hurt. Throw a never-hinted-at pre-Hartnell girl incarnation in there - and seriously mean it - and he'll envy late-80's JNT in terms of fan wrath.

And he'd care what 1% of the audience thinks?

I think Moffat's just trolling his fandom. He seems to get off on doing that.

Seriously, though, after making a big deal out of the fact (that he invented!) that Matt Smith's Doctor was the final incarnation, I can't see Moffat throwing that away with a single line. If it's accurate that Missy said that, then I'd guess that she's just trying to rile Clara.

 

[RoJoHen]

It would be Missy speaking as (her)self, right? So what's the problem?

It seems pretty obvious that this would be the case.

Calm down, internet.

 

[Skellington]

Apparently there's a line in the first episode where Missy tells Clara the she's known the Doctor since he was a little girl.

That would make Hartnell's Doctor a post-op transsexual. Kind of amusing since Hartnell was known for playing gruff military types.

If true, it's probably a joke by Moffat/Missy.

 

[Samurai8472]

It's not possible given what we've already been shown in "Listen" just last series. The adults refer to the crying child Doctor as "he" multiple times.

This is either someone trolling the fans, or misinterpreting the line that Missy apparently speaks about herself but instead thinking "ZOMG Missy means TEH DOCTOR WAS A GURL!!!11"

I'm on the side that it could be just some nonsense to distract us from the real spoilers that will come out

This rumor is supposed to come from "The Sun"

Australian start date for series 9 is 20 September. Saw an ad on ABC. It didn't give a time slot. Hopefully they simulcast again.

No simlcast, according to the ABC guide for the 20th. At least, not scheduled yet. Regular evening timselot, 7:42 pm.

Just like RTD, I guess there aren't enough perks when you're the showrunner!

Sounds interesting. Seems like they're setting up a Moffat-y arc. It'll be neat to see the Judoon again. Although they're cheesy, it'll be nice for nostalgia's sake.

I like the Judoon.

Also allows them to have the suits ready and relevant again for the big Doctor Who concert at Albert Hall they have from time to time with creatures and aliens walking the steps and stage during certain songs.

Coming soon in June to make us swoon?

Whatta goon, but it could be a boon.

 

[Starkers]

Shut up you loon!

 

[Mr Soak]

Got a spoon? I'll whack him at noon.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

I'll hide behind a dune.

 

[Starkers]

Would anyone like a prune?

A maroon and a loon share a spittoon.

 

[Nightowl1701]

A baboon and a goon can read a rune while whistling a tune.

 

[Mark_Nguyen]

Get out your Zune, download that tune,
And listen to it whilst shootin' coons.

On a semi-related note, I do wonder if the Valeyard will be addressed during Capaldi's tenure. BEFORE Moffat retconned everything, Smith was still the Eleventh; the Master originally said that the Valeyard came from somewhere between the Doctor's twelfth and final incarnations, and the Moff has referenced the Valeyard, notably in The Name of the Doctor. Granted, there's no real reason to bring back a one-hot kind of character, but Moffat is known to want to explain such things.

I'm actually working through "The Final Adventure" with Colin Baker et. al., which makes me wonder.

[Photoman15]

Well, we don't know what his final incarnation will be. So anywhere between twelve and ???......

[Ithekro]

The information is from the Master after all. Who knows how many different Doctors the Master has run across in his day.

BBC America have a new trailer with some new clips and what sounds like yet another revamp for the theme music on it.
