Doctor Who The Eleventh Doctor - spoilers

Meds · May 12, 2013, 11:03:51 AM

Well another great episode this week, awesome to see more chilling Cybermen (still not as scary as the Moonbase versions).

NOW. Due to a massive cock up by BBC America the Blu-Ray version of the new series has been delivered to anyone who has ordered it. Its not meant to be released until 28th May. So spoilers are going to be flowing over the web which means i am going in lock down. I asked on the FB page for waffle on and TSF that no one posts what happens so if anyone here wants to chat about it please use the spoiler tag and say that you are discussing the last episode.
Cheers.

The Blu-Ray is out even before the episode has aired - anywhere?? That's a first I'd say.

Or a great way to increase those disc sales!

Must have just been a shipping error. The BBCA site says it comes out on May 28th.

Meds · May 12, 2013, 03:30:58 PM

Yeah shipping error. Silly sods lol

The cynical part of me thinks this is a publicity stunt to build anticipation for the finale. But that couldn't be...

I hope nobody spoils it though. Looks to be a great episode full of lore.

Glad to see others don't like spoilers too. :)

Oh you are in for a treat (though remember they are 50 years old lol). Please do post which episodes you get to watch, would love to read your thoughts.

Will do! :)

Man, Matt Smith is KILLING IT as the Doctor this year. How are they gonna fill his shoes after the 50th? (I'm sure this is said for every Doctor). He was awesome as the Cyber-Planner and the Doctor, they were both very distinctive. Plus there's this, which trned an average episode into something wonderful, I really believe he's been alive for 1000 + years:

AMAZING resolution of the Clara mystery...never would have guessed that. AND HOLY CRAP [spoiler] JOHN HURT WAS THE REAL 9TH DOCTOR! VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/spoiler] Cannot wait to see the anniversary show now, it's gonna be nuts.

Wow. Just wow.

[spoiler]What I took away of this is that .... Claira was a time lord/lady. Sure it was just a shadow of her, but they only allow time lords on Gallifrey and she is born in each of her rebirths ... that got me to thinking ... what if Claira is Romana? Is she's there to save the doctor? Also, regeneration would explain why she wouldn't look like Claira[/spoiler]

Meds · May 19, 2013, 02:31:53 AM

Well I'd say
[spoiler] Clara is not a time lady, she was just a normal girl thrown into the most magical events. It must be remembered that Clara and The Dr have been travelling together for a long time not just 8 adventures so the bond is pretty strong.
I'm thinking that later on Clara becomes part of the Tardis. I say this because in the Drs wife the Tardis tells the dr she chose him and we've just seen the Dr get told by Clara to pick that Tardis (when in their normal state) ;) hmmm[/spoiler]

Well what I think[spoiler]Is that John Hurt came after the 8th Doctor, and ended the time war by wiping out all the Time Lords. That's why he ca't be called Doctor. So John Hurt would have been the 9th Doctor, before Eccleston. [/spoiler]. At least that's what I think. Could be something else.
