Explosive New Trailer Now Live + Screenshots

Explosive New Trailer Now LIve

Matt Smith returns as the oldest time-traveller in the universe. The Time Lord, Amy and Rory are kidnapped by their oldest foe the Daleks and forced on a seemingly impossible mission – to enter the Asylum, a planetary prison confining the most terrifying and insane of the deadly aliens’ kind.

They need an escape route, and fast – but with an army of mad Daleks closing in, and the Ponds’ relationship in meltdown, it is up to the Doctor to save not only their lives but his friends’ marriage. Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill co-star.

      No it’s not. It’s just an ordinary Time War Dalek that’s all dirty and broken.

      If it was 1 of the 2 Ironside Daleks [which if you recall was destroyed by the Paradigm Daleks]it would have the Union Jack underneath the eyestalk and woul have that green bag thingy around it’s midsection covering most of it’s slates.

    Lately Ive been wondering if this story will be the best Dalek story since the all time fan favorite ‘Genesis of the Daleks’, but considering Ive only seen 4 different classic Daleks in the trailers, I guess this story won’t surpass ‘Genesis of the Daleks’ at all.

    So reports that they dont even fire their weapons in the episode were rubbish.Thank goodness for that!

      I think it was just to show that they where active and alive in the poster because the imperial dalek action figure has a blue eye it would take a log of time and editing to edit all the classics with blue eyes they probaly will have the original eyes 🙂

      August 26th, 2012 - 4:57pm

      No, I was trying to get onto it on my iPod and it just wouldn’t load. At least it’s working now. Are you planning to redesign any other sections of the site for mobile?

    • Luke

      August 26th, 2012 - 5:11pm

      Ah ok, it might have been that than. Yep we’ve redone the Doctor Who and Dalek section: http://www.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/dalek/

      Next will probably be the homepage and spin offs section, plus tidying that up a bit.

      Not in a rush to do TW, SJA or K9 as they’re not relevant atm (no current series).

      The merchandise section needs doing but that’ll take a lot of planning/work so that’ll have to wait a while.

      This month 20-25% of our visitors viewed the site on iOS or an android device so it needs doing 🙂

    • BOOBOO JR

      August 26th, 2012 - 5:19pm

      Ok, I look forward to it! It will be a lot easier, I normally have to zoom in to most of the text to read it all. Just one thing though, I do miss the links across the top banner (News, Merchandise, Doctor Who, etc.). Is there any way you could get them back for this version of the site, or at least a link to the Merchandise Section?

      That’s funny BOOBOO JR, I was on my iPod too until I went on and saw this. I didn’t think the news section change, I just thought it was the way the iPod showing it. It’s really good though! 🙂

      And is it just me BOOBOO JR, or have you not been posting for a while on here? 😀

    • Luke

      August 26th, 2012 - 8:27pm

      I’d be interest to know, do you mostly view this site on your iPods? or do you sometimes use desktop computers.

      I’ll have a think about the top links, I only removed them as on the Doctor Who and other sections they have their own navigation so it got a bit messy but you’re right, now that the news page is mobile friendly the links will need to be somewhere 🙂

    • The Time Lord of Doom

      August 26th, 2012 - 9:19pm

      Yes Luke, these days there’s quite a lot of people with iPods. Before Christmas, I used to use my Wii to view this website cause my laptop was very slow. Then I got an iPod, and I must say it’s helped me a lot! So much that I’m using it now! 🙂 I have a new good laptop, but I usualy use it to play games, not go on websites.

      I know a lot of people that use iPads and phones etc more than PC’s now, it’s interesting to know how people view the site. I’ve got an iPhone and I use it all the time for checking emails, twitter etc but not for web browsing as a lot of sites aren’t very mobile friendly

      I mainly use my iPod to get onto the site, I find it quicker and easier. Though I do occasionally use my laptop. Good to hear you’ll have a think about the top links, it would just speed up the process of getting to different parts of the site.

    I went to look at the synopsis of this on my sky box and it doesn’t look like the Xmas special is part of the series because I put the information up and it said. New series 1/12. So does the Xmas special count as an episode?

      I thought it was part of series 7 episodes because Moffat said 14 episodes including Xmas special. So theres only 13 now then

    • Jason doctorwhoone

      August 25th, 2012 - 8:20pm

      I doubt it. Thals had blonde hair, this guy seems to be bald despite wearing a hood, and not be racist or anything, but his black skinned, Thals have always appeared to be white skinned in both ‘The Daleks’, ‘Planet of the Daleks’and ‘Genesis of the Daleks’.

      I wonder thou what happened to the Thals, cos after Genesis, we never see or hear of them again.

      I reckon they are either all wiped out, or they are alive safe and sound on another planet, in hiding from the Daleks, and living a peaceful life.

    • Dalek Fanatic

      August 25th, 2012 - 10:49pm

      Possibly, I mean the events of Planet occur after Genesis so there may be a fair amount of Thals surviving in hiding from their enemies the Daleks, and in “The Only Good Dalek” we saw the return of the SSS so it’s a good chance 🙂

    The planet looks like a moon, so it cant be Skaro or its that snow. I dont under stand that there is someone else in snow clothing in the other trailers.

    From Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine: Doctor Who boss Steven Moffat has exterminated two – part episodes. So Amy Pond, played by Karen Gillian will leave in a single show. “My boys Louis and Joshua got cross when an episode ended without a real conclusion.” he says.

      The NSDs are one of the most popular types of Dalek and they are a modern realisation. I doubt the Genesis ones would become the main ones.

    If you look at the above image showing the Doctor, Amy and Rory with the Dalek behind them, they seem to have a 1963 original and 1984 Resurrection Dalek with blue eyes when they shouldn’t, only the Time War Daleks have eyes that glow blue.

    I feel theres gonna be a sense of disappointment for classic series fan’s and Dalek fan’s in general in terms of how many classic Daleks will feature, all Ive notice so far is –

    1963 original.
    ‘Evil’ Emperor Guard.
    ‘Resurrection’Dalek.
    Special Weapons Gunner Dalek.

    Time War Daleks seem to dominate this story, and theres vary few Paradigms from the look of it, just the Supreme Dalek, several Drones and 1 or 2 Strategists Ive seen so far from what’s been shown online.

    So much for claiming this story will feature ‘ALL of them’.
