DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 5:29pmwell whatever that giant dalek gun thing is its been blown up!
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 5:25pmi reckon all his enemies turn up, and they all start fighting? coud explain severed cyberhead? or has anyone noticed that the doctor is collecting parts of each monster? cyberhead and dalek eyestalk ? possibly making a weapon? or trying to gather info on the signal driving them all into this planet. any thoughts on who will win the battle? alliances? π
DrWhoTwins
December 7th, 2013 - 5:19pmLooks awesome!
RYCBAR123
December 7th, 2013 - 4:48pmHad a sudden theory:
Giant Dalek? Wooden Cyberman? This planet worships The Doctor’s enemies!
Maybe? :3
doctorfan
December 7th, 2013 - 5:19pmbrilliant theory
Sebatron
December 8th, 2013 - 1:18amThat sounds great!
Tardisn’t
December 7th, 2013 - 4:44pmSomeone looks like pertwee…
Wooden Cyberman???
This episode looks interesting!
Tardisn’t
December 7th, 2013 - 4:45pmAlso, Clerics!
Cyber10Dalek
December 7th, 2013 - 4:09pmLooks like that Cyberman has been de-graded; literally!
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 7th, 2013 - 3:11pmForget Souffle Girl, Clara is now –
TURKEY GIRL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! π
Danny Brown
December 7th, 2013 - 4:10pmlol!
cyberman2
December 7th, 2013 - 2:43pmthis ep looks good *sees wooden cyberman* um⦠this is new *gets very nervous
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
December 7th, 2013 - 12:17pmRumours are going around that the woman in the picture is a younger version of Kovarian, thus explaining in the episode why she hates the Doctor so much.
The wooden Cyberman is really weird, but they might have a camouflage ability to hide with its surroundings.
Lastly, Clara’s looking awesome! π
[email protected]
December 7th, 2013 - 1:02pmShe is not a younger version of Kovarian she is some other woman from the doctor’s past the BBC realised the information a while ago.
What the BBC posted on a photo: Tasha Lem played by Orla Brady is someone from the Doctorβs past
doc fan 2000
December 7th, 2013 - 1:03pmThe soldirs are there so it might be a younger version. Still just roumours.
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
December 7th, 2013 - 1:27pmIt really annoys me when people don’t read posts properly. I didn’t state that that was Kovarian, I said it was a rumour! And it could be her with a different name, you don’t know that!
the astronaut of death
December 7th, 2013 - 1:38pmanother rumour I found was that she was the rani
or the doctors sister
Nathanwho
December 7th, 2013 - 2:34pmThe wooden cyberman kind of reminds of the wooden people in ‘the doctor the widow and the wardrobe’.
any ideas?
TheBritishCupOfTea
December 7th, 2013 - 4:21pmKovarian IS in the Doctor’s past, but her future.
Defender of Trenzalore
December 7th, 2013 - 12:01pmWOW!
I loved the 50th special but this looks like it could top it as my fave ep from the new series (maybe even EVER!)
It looks FANTASTIC!
And it seems to have even more monsters/villains than the 50th (and a few references too, such as The Doctor dressing a little like Jon Pertwee) AS WELL AS a ton of ACTION!!
π π π
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 11:26amthe sonic screwdriver cant effect wood……
Doctor Stu
December 7th, 2013 - 11:31amMight have upgraded to be resistant to the Doctor
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 11:45ambut then surly its weak cos its wood? think a weakness maybe discovered if the cybermen upgrade themselfs too much it may cancel out other upgrades they have like overloading a computer? thoughts?
Defender of Trenzalore
December 7th, 2013 - 12:14pmThe sonic not affecting wood was sorted in the 50th (partially anyway)
Maybe it’s some type of stealth Cyberman, looking like a wood sculpture of itself for scout purposes?
π
Anonymous
December 7th, 2013 - 1:03pmThe cybermen were having budget cuts so thats why there now made of wood
Doctor Stu
December 7th, 2013 - 2:16pmLol
wholords2
December 7th, 2013 - 11:23amwhat i that huge dalek gun thing on picures 11 and 12
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 11:04ami reckon the cybermen are more powerful than the daleks now, a ccyberman vs a dalek i reckon cyber would win
darylcharles
December 7th, 2013 - 6:33pmNothing is more powerful than a Dalek! Possibly the giant Dalek gun is off one of their ships?
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 9:02pmthe giant gun looks like a weapon but seems to be on fire, and honestly i think the new cybermen are a match for the daleks now
darylcharles
December 7th, 2013 - 10:32pmDalek Emporer of something like that’s weapon?
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 10:37pmlooks abit like them dalek hover crafts in the 50th? there are rumours of a dalek civil war?
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 11:02amanyone notice the woodencybermans gun looks different?
Doctor Stu
December 7th, 2013 - 11:32amYeh it’s shaped a bit like a shield.
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 11:46ampossible upgraded gun to kill daleks?
Doctor Stu
December 7th, 2013 - 2:17pmMaybe guess we’ll have to wait and see
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 10:55amlooks awesome! the wooden cyberman π the daleks look good too i guess
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
December 7th, 2013 - 10:41amwhy aren’t they using the new daleks anymore?
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
December 7th, 2013 - 10:41ambut otherwise it looks really good!
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 11:18amcos whining fans got into tantrums cos they didn’t like the new design and wouldn’t even give it a chance π
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
December 7th, 2013 - 12:14pmMaybe because the new Daleks are too Sarah Jane Adventures and remind you of killer tellytubbies in armour.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
December 7th, 2013 - 12:21pmI was never a massive fan of the new daleks but i think they could’ve been really good
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 2:03pmbut the time war daleks are so weak π
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
December 7th, 2013 - 3:52pmThe Time War Daleks are NOT weak, or else the Time Lords would have won the battle!
Dalek the Supreme
December 7th, 2013 - 6:51pmIronic how some fans of a show that’s about change can’t accept change when it happens?
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 9:05pm^^^^ totally agree wont even give it a chance!
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 9:10pmand the time war are weak, one got killed by a three sonic screwdrivers!!!!
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
December 7th, 2013 - 10:03pmThe Time War Daleks are not weak! Just because you are a Paradigm Dalek fanatic doesn’t mean you have to disagree with others. Do you not think the whole Loss of Gallifrey storyline wouldn’t have happened, since YOU think those Daleks were weak? The Time Lords would’ ve won then, but they didn’t.
I do accept change, thank you very much. I am looking forward to Capaldi’s Doctor. When introduced to the new Cybermen I thought they were awesome. But we all have opinions, disagree with somebody else’s then you aren’t being fair. I don’t like Paradigm Daleks, it’s that simple.
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 10:20pmsorry i didnt mean to offend you or something, i did come on a bit strong, i have no problem with you disagreeing with paradigm daleks π
homestly didnt mean any offense and sorry if i annoyed you
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
December 7th, 2013 - 10:28pmI’m glad we have solved this then. I hope I didn’t offend you either. Although I do like The Eternal. π
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 10:39pmi came up with a solution, check my latest comment on page 2 π what do you think!? i have to admit the time war daleks have that more ellgance that makes them more suited for war
Dalek the Supreme
December 8th, 2013 - 9:14pmI’m also sorry if I offended you, too, I actually like the Time War Daleks almost as much as I like the Paradigm, I’m just upset that the show had gone against it’s doctrine of change in bringing them back. I do think the two designs work well together though, and even though I will miss Matt Smith (favorite Doctor), I am glad we’ll be having an older Doctor again, and I can’t wait to see the second new Doctor of 2013 in action! π
Savetheday
December 7th, 2013 - 10:18amIn the 1st picture of Clara at the top, she looks really old!
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
December 7th, 2013 - 10:40amyeah!
Defender of Trenzalore
December 7th, 2013 - 12:16pmI’m not getting that same feeling, sorry
π
BurnCrumpet11
December 7th, 2013 - 10:07amIs it true that the new phase cybermen can evolve to any surroundings or situation that might explain the wooden cyberman
Scott’s TARDIS
December 7th, 2013 - 9:59amThe Wooden Cyberman has a yellow light!
Jaketorwho
December 7th, 2013 - 9:54amVery exciting. I avtually love the wooden cyberman! And the dalek weapon thing looks interesting! Looking to be the send off smith deserves!!!!
matt9982
December 7th, 2013 - 9:12amCould that be…. UNIT!
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 7th, 2013 - 9:29amNo, looks more like the Cleric Soldiers.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 7th, 2013 - 8:40amIn the pictures of the Doctor holding a Dalek eyestalk, is it me, or is he dressed a little like the 3rd Doctor ?.
Dalek Smith
December 7th, 2013 - 9:37amThat’s what I thought!
DoctorPlatypus
December 7th, 2013 - 8:01amNo longer Cybermen, but WOODMEN!
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 7th, 2013 - 8:34amQuick, someone light a match, we can turn him into a Bonfire π
Dalek Smith
December 7th, 2013 - 9:37amThe upgrade went horribly wrong! π
Poof
December 7th, 2013 - 7:27amThe Cyberman had become sonic-proof!!!!
CyberGuy500
December 7th, 2013 - 5:52amAre those soldiers the same clerics from A Good Man Goes To War?
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 7th, 2013 - 8:36amUniforms are different, but the badges on their hat’s look the same, so it could be the Cleric Soldiers.
Dalek the Supreme
December 7th, 2013 - 6:57pmI think you mean the Silence soldiers, they were in A Good Man Goes To War. The Clerics were in The Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone.
Defender of Trenzalore
December 8th, 2013 - 9:34amAcually in a Good Man Goes to War they were clerics, working for Kovarian and thus The Silence
π
Dalek the Supreme
December 8th, 2013 - 9:17pmMy mistake. π³
Jamie
December 7th, 2013 - 12:26amLooks awesome! Cannot wait!
Anonymous
December 7th, 2013 - 12:17amWood is a living thing. Could have something to do with photogenesis?
Obsie
December 7th, 2013 - 12:18amSorry, that was me.
Dalek the Supreme
December 7th, 2013 - 12:10amVery exciting new pictures! π Just two gripes I have: first being the lack of any New Paradigm Daleks; and second being the wooden Cyberman. Seriously, I’ve heard of the Cybermen using spare parts, but a WOODEN Cybermen?? Kind of pushing it a bit…
Jamie
December 7th, 2013 - 12:26amMost of the plot for this episode has been leaked online, their is a good reason for the wooden Cyberman.
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 11:29amradio times had paradgim daleks so there maybe hope!!!im guessing you like the paragidm daleks dalek the supreme?
Dalek the Supreme
December 7th, 2013 - 6:58pmJamie, I saw the slightly less detailed version. I suppose I’ll go with being pleasantly surprised.
DALEKSKITTLES, maybe. They were also in The Five(ish) Doctors. And yes, in fact, they’re probably my favorite kind of Dalek, especially that Supreme! (Yeah, not a very popular choice)
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 10:25pmyer they are my favorite aswell π esspically the matellic ones! i would day red drone is my fav haha but supreme is my second choice, do you think if they just had white supreme and red drone fans would be more happy with the new designs? i think people just didnt like the mixture of colours, steven moffat mnaybe just cancel out yellow eternal and orange scieentist, and leave supreme white, red drone, and blue stagist cos then its less “tellietubbies” and looks more dalek like?
DALEKSKITTLES
December 7th, 2013 - 10:29pmwow my spelling was bad in that lol
Dalek the Supreme
December 8th, 2013 - 9:22pmI think for some it’s the colors, for others it’s the radical departure from the traditional Dalek design, and for some it’s both. Personally I respect the brave choice to take such a radical departure, and am pleased it still is unmistakably a Dalek, along with the smoother, futuristic design coupled with a slightly more organic look. Also, I don’t mind the colors, though an orange Dalek is pushing it a bit far, in my opinion.
Doctor Stu
December 7th, 2013 - 12:06amHmmm why the wooden Cyberman?
Doctor Stu
December 7th, 2013 - 12:07amGasp, maybe the new Cybermen can upgrade to their surroundings.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 7th, 2013 - 8:38amBeing metal, they probably don’t want to rust, so they’ve looked to nature and gone for gone for wood, and as we all know, the Sonic Screwdriver ain’t no good against wood, so it can’t affect them π
MONKEY MONK MONK
December 7th, 2013 - 10:15amThe cyberman has stolen the chameleon circuit!
Doctor Stu
December 7th, 2013 - 11:34amBut a tiny flame will burn him up so not very practical
Defender of Trenzalore
December 7th, 2013 - 12:19pmLOL!
Back to the cyber drawing board!
π
Dalek the Supreme
December 7th, 2013 - 6:59pmCould be a Cyber-spy, trying to blend in with the backwater village.
Defender of Trenzalore
December 7th, 2013 - 7:59pmThat’s what I was thinking too!
