Special guest announced for Christmas (spoilers)

[Ithekro]

Regardless of what happens, the Doctor will make it better. You can tell her that. He always has. Even when he wore a long scarf and a hat with big teeth and hair.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Except in Sleep No More. But who would ever show that to anyone voluntarily?

 

[Mr Soak]

a hat with big teeth and hair.

That would be interesting to see.

Just watched it with my daughter. She approves, excellent.

A piano fell on him? Was he in a Morris Marina?

I like how Capaldi is really channeling Matt Smith in his interactions with River.

I'm skeptical that River wouldn't recognize the regenerated Doctor from his mannerisms, behavior, and familiarity with her, though. I'm really expecting her to pull a "You idiot, I knew who you were all along" card at the end.

Those clips were pretty entertaining, especially the first one. I'm super excited for this episode, it should be fun.

 

[The Wormhole]

I'm really expecting her to pull a "You idiot, I knew who you were all along" card at the end.

I'm expecting something similar too.

River: "Well, obviously I knew it was you all along."
Doctor: "How?"
River: "Spoilers."

 

[Romulan_spy]

My favorite line in the first clip is this one:
River: "How do you know me?"
Doctor:"It's complicated. People usually need a flow chart."

That line is so perfect.

 

[Samurai8472]

The 12th doctor/Capaldi being happy reminds me of Dick Van Dyke.


Also

"I've had a haircut and this is my best suit!"

They're really going there aren't they?

I'm expecting something similar too.

River: "Well, obviously I knew it was you all along."
Doctor: "How?"
River: "Spoilers."

Ugh!!!! If that line is used I swear I'll break stuff. It's one of the few things that turn me off River whom I adore.

Looks like it, yeah. That line lacked any subtlety on the matter whatsoever.

Considering "Spoilers" is River's catchphrase, it's a foregone conclusion it's a word that's going to be in the episode. If not spoken by her, than by the Doctor.
