DOCTOR WHO ONE
August 21st, 2015 - 3:04pmFrancis – Your forgetting ‘The Time of the Doctor’, they encountered her in a room with the Doctor and Tasha Lem which Tasha later transmatted the Doctor and Clara down to Trenzalore from the aforementioned room.

August 21st, 2015 - 1:34pmOh I know what picture you mean, the behind the scenes one I think the hands with eyes belong to those armoured, miner robot things

August 21st, 2015 - 2:22amThe Clara conversion was in an asylum which was destroyed by the Daleks. The Clara conversion also ran a software update to destroy memories about or associated with the Doctor so there will be no memory of Clara in the Dalek memory noosphere.
This will be the first time that they have met her!

August 21st, 2015 - 2:17amwonder if the Daleks will recognise Clara, seeing as though they converted the Oswin Oswald echo of her and she became a Dalek.
The Mire
August 20th, 2015 - 7:44pmOne thing no one has pointed out as its all been Daleks this, Zygons that. That photo of actors Ben Freeman, Jenna Coleman and Peter Capaldi with a person wearing a big stone face with red eyes!
Betting that the hands with eyes are on that creature

August 20th, 2015 - 6:04pmBut the Doctor and the Master are brothers , they can’t change gender, like James Bond , the Doctor and James Bond are similar but opposite way, they are man James Bond and the Doctor

August 20th, 2015 - 8:48amThe sisterhood of Karn offered the Doctor “man… or woman?”
Personally I’ve nothing against the Doctor/Master becoming female but if you are really struggling to grasp the concept then imagine the Sisterhood of Karn did it with their special regeneration-influencing powers.
I used to give the argument that it would be silly because of the amount of Time Lords who ended up in a different relationship to the one they started out in their previous incarnation (like the end of the Curse of Fatal Death), but given that most Time Lords would regenerate less often than the Doctor as they spend less time in dangerous situations, and given the apparent rarity of a gender-changing regeneration (Time Lords such as the Doctor, Borusa, the Master, Romana and Rassilon seem to have managed to keep to one single gender throughout their documented adventures), I have discarded that theory. There is, in fact, fairly substantial evidence to suggest that Time Lord relationships change after regeneration (think about the variation between the way the third Doctor always returned to the Brigadier and UNIT, even after his exile was lifted, and the way the fourth Doctor only returned very reluctantly either due to a call from the Brig or a request from Sarah). I would imagine that with gender, the Time Lord’s hormones and impulses would also change during regeneration and that a Time Lord would not have expected a relationship to last past one regeneration (although that would be in theory still a possibility).

August 19th, 2015 - 4:11pmAfter lengthy searches, Maisie Williams’ character is said to truly be a new character, i read on one site what her name is and it translates as something quite interesting.
Also read up on the rumors about Paul McGann/David Tennant’s appearances… If what i have read, it is quite good how its been written.

August 19th, 2015 - 11:56amJust been looking at some news for the new series. Invasion of the Zygons and Inversion of the Zygons have been named as episodes.
Found out other exciting, cool things, but one thing i am not too happy about, is that supposedly, an episode is a “found footage” story. I would’ve prefered a musical episode.
So, not especially looking forward to that! On a note about this episode, also read that it may not include the Doctor Who intro 🙁
And for those of you who hate Clara, an episode will feature the Doctor on his own.
As i say, this is all what i have read on other sites, so just thought id share it.

August 18th, 2015 - 9:21pmI can’t wait for Doctor who to return with Davros and Daleks !!!
The Moffat Paradox
August 18th, 2015 - 8:01pmNah.Think your totally out on a limb there about the Rani but time (pun intended) will tell.

August 18th, 2015 - 7:01pmThat’s it? Seriously? So perhaps we shouldn’t have, I don’t know, those Dalek things back, or Zygons or any other pesky returning characters/species…
CJ
August 18th, 2015 - 4:03pmYou know, I just think she’s going to be completely NEW character but if she turns out to be someone we know then… PUFF that’s it for me 🙂

August 18th, 2015 - 2:21pmThe Moffat Paradox it not decayed post John Simm Master because he is not in it , it new character but Doctor and Master are brothers so I do think missy is Rani and the Master will waiting for Doctor to fall into trap of missy then the Master Returns !!!

August 18th, 2015 - 1:44pmI think Doctor 12 needs a new companion. There were several options in series 8 but Rigsy would be a good choice. He’s proved his mettle against an enemy even the Doctor did not understand. Also I think, although he makes a good show, he’s a bit insecure & needs some reassurance which could play well against 12’s inability/unwillingness to show deeper emotions. It could be good for both characters.

August 18th, 2015 - 1:29pmI personally believe i have figured out the character Maisie is playing. Im not going to say though, just in case im right, as it would be a huge spoiler.
But judging by the trailer, photo shots and the episode she is seen in, i think i know. In fact ill just say it, she is playing (Eastenders duff duff).

August 18th, 2015 - 12:13amTharils? They’re the lion faced aliens arent they? Thought i recognised them from classic who.
The Moffat Paradox
August 17th, 2015 - 9:30pmBut why if she were the Rani bother to pretend who she really is otherwise? That character was evil and confident enough like the Master to do without that pretence.
It’s also possible as has been suggested that in the first episode of series 9 “The Magicians Apprentice” we have seen in the trailers a to be revealed decayed post John Simm Master going like the 8th Doctor to the Sisterhood of Karn before regenerating into Missy. Yet The Corsair switch gender regeneration precedent has been established in canon without their involvement being even necessary for that.
Don’t think it’s a Moffat ploy. Think Missy really is supposed to be the Master and the character background is established virtually in total in the official BBC site.

August 17th, 2015 - 5:23pmWell Clare Higgins who previously played Ohila, a member of the Sisterhood of Karn in Night of the Doctor is confirmed to appear in the opener… So I think we are going to see the return of them!

The Metal Lord
August 17th, 2015 - 10:48amTharils! Tharils are in the trailer! Could this possibly mean more E-Space, return of Romana, etc? Nobody pointed this out, but I guess they’re relatively unknown. Very excited for new series, looks very gothic and steampunk at times and I like that. Also going to point out that even though the person with lines on their face could very well be a decaying Master, I think this could be a return of the Sisterhood of Karn.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
August 17th, 2015 - 8:42amThose Robot’s again ? . . . . they’re brand NEW !!.
I think your confusing them for the ones in ‘Dinosaurs on a Spaceship’.

Dalek the Supreme
August 17th, 2015 - 3:36amDarn it. Forgot to type my name.

August 17th, 2015 - 3:36amAlright! We have more than just 60’s Daleks returning. I feel like the Dalek episode is going to be an apology for not showcasing the previous Dalek designs in Asylum of the Daleks. And the Master will be meeting them. This could be interesting. Clara using a gun? This could also be interesting. We also have really bad CGI in the form of a dragon. Those robots again, too. And not much is being revealed about the Zygons. Just that they’re showing up.
More than anything, I’m excited for this more mellower Doctor. As nice as it was to have a grumpier, more detached seeming Doctor, there were times in the first half of Series 8 where I found him downright unlikable. I just hope he doesn’t completely lose his detached facade, as I liked the idea for the character in concept, and it’s still a part of who he is.
