@whohar Sure there is Matt, even in several scenes. Especially his voice – from ROA. But they are all there: 9, 10, 11 and Hurt. As well as Clara and Rose. Have you even watched all of it? ;D
1 November 2013 at 10:37 #19781Hey guys!
I just found this fan made trailer on youtube and I think it sums up nicely the indicates towards the time war (sorry I have no clue how to not embed it- if somebody has a slow browser) :
It also hints at the Moment. I really think we will see the Moment in the 50th. Ever since I thought of it upstream in post #19155.
30 October 2013 at 17:27 #19591@mini-htpbdets thats a great idea of your uncle! A new batch of possibilities. So the name is like a trophy and different Timelords carry the name for a period of time. Properly bonkers theorising.
How very true “your time starts now”. Great thought one tends to forget.Again my condolences to HTPBDETs whole family.
29 October 2013 at 09:21 #1950828 October 2013 at 19:27 #19488Okay, what is 11 doing inside a zygon ship then? I feel like we really have not come close to the storyline at all.
Though I do hope that I have some “we knew it, we knew it!” moments when watching the actual thing.
28 October 2013 at 19:02 #19486The first picture is most interesting. Which civilization is it? Timelord, Dalek (don’t think so), Zygon maybe? Anyone ever seen anything like that button before?
I totally blocked Rose out of the 50th. Gah, I bet she and 10 will act very affectionate towards each other in every shared scene….
Good stuff anyway @wolfweed !
@jimthefish Dosen’t he? The personal news stream of this website! I would not know half as much if it were not for @wolfweed27 October 2013 at 21:58 #19436Just a quick update on the cinema situation (Might be interesting for you to see how Doctor Who manages in different countries. If you have any figures for your country I’d love to hear ’em)
There is a surprisingly huge demand for Doctor Who in Germany. My cinema hall was sold out in round about 12 hours and they had to open another cinema hall to compensate the demand in at least 6 different cities. One of the cinema chains added various further locations. The two cinema chains which will show Doctor Who on the 23rd were bombarded on Facebook with questions (some IT problems with online sales).It is safe to say the demand quite flabbergasted everyone. As a side note: Someone on Facebook suggested TARDIS-blue popcorn and they said they’d think about it! =)
I’d really love to know how the sales are going in the UK, Australia, Canada, the USA…?
Cheers,
Timeloop

I didn’t read your link because I don’t want to be disappointed in any case on the 23rd- Funny though that it references ‘The Moment’ as well! That is what I came up with as the big bad secret of the Doctor…. “The doctor has a secret he will take to the grave. It is discovered.” Would mean that ‘The Moment’ is somewhere in that dying TARDIS.
There is really no other thing that the Doctor knows alone(as far as the viewer knows anyway), I figured. A terrible weapon that got him soaked in blood if he built and used it… And one that the Silence do not want to fall into the wrong hands?? I cannot shake the feeling that Moffat has to address the Silence again… He wrapped up quite a lot in TNOTD so he will continue his tabula rasa in TDOTD…. right?@Shazzbot
I knew it is just an envelope, I was reffering to the mysterious content it might hold.
25 October 2013 at 07:53 #19269@bluesqueakpip Yeah, they are doing it one by one. Berlin Cinemaxx is now up online. At 8.30 (gtm+1) half the room was already booked Oo. All the best seats nearly taken. (Phew – thankfully I decided to do it online and not go to the cinema when it opens at 10.30 or order them over the phone at 10…) At this rate it will be sold out by tomorrow!
Even the Servers crashed while I was trying to get mine. Who would have thought so many people are into DW in Berlin?24 October 2013 at 20:14 #19233I have a fixed screening time. It’s 20:30 in Germany so it will be 19:30 in the UK for example.
24 October 2013 at 08:00 #19189Why is it so quiet in this forum just one month before the 50th?
24 October 2013 at 06:47 #1918824 October 2013 at 06:46 #19187@scaryb @Shazzbot
I LOVED to see a close-up of all the props used – more AG though as this is my stronger connection to the show. You were kind of guided through the first part with audio/video bits which made you laugh occasionally.
The best part though was to see that there were quite a lot young and old people who could not wait to see it. One young men (in his twenties) in front of me was positively giddy with excitement when the group waited to be let in. Whenever you saw something new people around you were quoting episodes.The weeping angels were scary – even to a friend of mine who I just dragged along.
A perfect keepsake is my litte TARDIS I was super embarrassed to buy in front of two friends as it was labeled as a toy… Worth it anyway. Makes the landing/lift off noise and nobody here knows what it means anyway if they happen to see it. And those who do are just jealous 😉
23 October 2013 at 20:19 #19172Thanks a million, perfect!
23 October 2013 at 20:08 #19168Hah! Was just about to report that the original one miraculously re-appeared =D Man, you are fast. Thanks a lot. Probably because I have been very active recently…
@craig Could you add the new thought to the old post then? The one with the moment?
23 October 2013 at 19:58 #19161@craig I tried 3 times now to post something in the 50th thread and it never appears? Am I spam now?
Funny enough even though it does not show up I get a warning that I am posting a duplicate.
Was able to post it after I removed the hyperlink to the original post of Bluesqueakpip. Might be important when looking for the error.

Timeloop. Reason: Troubleshooting
23 October 2013 at 19:02 #19155@bluesqueakpip ! That is genius!
Another possibility: we’ve seen The History of the Time War; the TARDIS was very careful to make sure Clara saw it as well. It could be that The History of the Time War is significant in the same way the Melody Malone novel is significant in Angels Take Manhattan. The Doctor (whichever Doctor) has, unfortunately, read it. He read his own future before he realised that he’d taken another name. He’s now stuck with acting out the history of that future.
Changed his name and acted out his future because he had no choice in big decisions. Love it. Because it is history he does what he did. And there wont be too much detail about companions or anthing so he has left a bit of free will….. just genius.
Do you guys remember the Doctor explaining to Churchill that he knows a secret that should never be revealed? Never be spoken? Maybe he talks of the construction of ‘the moment’? Or how to use it? Does he tell himself how to do it? And the Silence for some reason is involved in stopping the time lock? The most dangerous thing because without the timelords time itself became less stable?
What do you think?
23 October 2013 at 18:43 #19151@Shazzbot @jimthefish In the description of my cinema you do see pictures of the trailer with the label “first impressions of the movie”. Nevertheless @nick thinks it’s just misleading marketing.
23 October 2013 at 18:39 #19148@nick That is just some fancy writing going on there, certainly no cross?
Yeah I noticed those circles as well… Probably says “Exit this way” =D
Yes, true. Could be both ways. Although I would be pretty psyched to see Gallifrey at all! The two suns and the red grass and that giant glass … bubble (at loss for a better word) over the city. IF they enter the timelock- long lost friends and family of the doctor? His children in passing? I think 11 will sacrifice himself so someone else can escape… would fit into his timeline wouldn’t it? Although, come to think of it…. that is what 10 did already. Moffat won’t repeat a story line….

Also, as the BFI nears the end of its year long celebration of Doctor Who
Which year long celebration?
23 October 2013 at 18:24 #19144@blenkinsopthebrave Well then I do not get how or why you could let that happen to the past 50 years? All just a memory and not relevant for anything anymore. If Moffat thought of that he would not have needed to invent Clara so she re-writes anything and everything or nothing, depending on the story.
23 October 2013 at 16:16 #19139@blenkinsopthebrave Your end to the episode would be a kick in the stomach for every fan. I do not think they will ever go for that “everything never happened” theory.
Especially for viewers of the first hour /first epidode.
23 October 2013 at 11:02 #19113Got some more information today. No exact time yet, but I will be able to see it in 3D for hefty 16 Euros. We will start a bit later because they show a trailer rail before the actual movie =.=” .
I also found out that the trailer we saw is supposed to be actual film material. I saw pictures of it with the title “first impressions of the movie”.
Did you know that Doctor Who is in the Guinness world records book for longest running science-fiction show?? I didn’t.23 October 2013 at 10:12 #1911123 October 2013 at 09:19 #19101@geoffers oooops! So much wishful thinking going on there. Good catch. In which episodes could we see that painting then? The one with the star whale…. The one with Van Gogh and… The one… Oh right, The Pandorica opens. Did I miss any? Would be amazing if we have seen it before!
23 October 2013 at 06:38 #19097@enlighteneddespot I dont think she could have regenerated, it took only a few seconds and the Doctor was not unconcious. Plus River was really just a copy in TNOTD. She couldn’t fake that. If she had been a ganger there would have been some sort of slime/ milky substance as well.
22 October 2013 at 20:07 #19078@pedant That is exactly what he said? Previous tab as in the one before the external page?
22 October 2013 at 19:41 #19076@blenkinsopthebrave You too? =D Well, welcome to the club! Better decide fast – I had a look at hotels and hostels today and we don’t seem to be the only ones with that stroke of genius. I reckon Lodon will be quite full on that particular weekend!
22 October 2013 at 19:34 #19074@craig Ah, I see!
Well I am always venturing through tabs. But I don’t ctrl+click, I just use my mouse (stay longer on the link on a mobile device to get the option for a new tab). I tend to have a look around the linked site and once I am finished with that website (close that tab) the tab of the forum is exactly where I left off. So I dont have to look for it again. To me it is frustraiting if I click on a link that takes you somewhere else and you loose your position on the other website.But I agree that is only helpful if you leave the website otherwise it would be as frustraiting to have a million tabs with the same website at different positions (if not created by will).
I also agree that people who prefer tabs will create them at will and people who like the “back” funktion all the time should have the option to do so.
It is not like it would be so much more work to create a tab instead of being created for you? Only 2 clicks – right click and first option in the firefox. You can’t be that lazy @pedant =P
22 October 2013 at 19:18 #1907322 October 2013 at 19:04 #19070@Shazzbot Yeah I know. But I also remember that only a few users here have that feature, as it got too confusing when the number of users grew. I have not had a lot of direct contact with steve yet, so I did not remember it by heart. There is only a hand full of users with differentiated @names, like @pedant . Thanks anyway.
22 October 2013 at 18:58 #19069Just out of curiosity: what back button are you two talking about? You can open new tabs in both mobile and pc versions and there is a static back/forward button in every standard brwoser (mostly top left corner?)…? That not something the website can influence?
In the editing of posts? There is a undo and redo button? No idea which one you mean. To flip through pages in a thread? Why would there be a problem….? I don’t get it X-x.22 October 2013 at 18:44 #19065@stevethewhistle Well to give you an example: heavy blockbuster movies are usually shown multiple times a day, starting 14:15 (…) 17.15 (…) 20.00, depending on the cinema chain. In your case you can see screening times of other movies here. A different expample with more of a timetable in general (although in german) is here.
I have read on a german page that advanced sales (is that the right context?) / pre-sales are starting on the 25th. So hopefully not long to wait…
22 October 2013 at 18:01 #19062@stevethewhistle Well the usual times. They won’t choose irregular screening times would they? Im sure there will be a primetime screening time maybe several times that day?
22 October 2013 at 17:40 #19060Oh my God thanks @phaseshift ! There is a cinema in Berlin =3 <3!
22 October 2013 at 12:39 #1903922 October 2013 at 12:25 #19037@nick I was just pointing out that we decided to leave everything that is said in the spoilers thread in the spoilers thread (what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas) . Unless you know it has been posted elsewhere. There are a bunch of people who want to be as unspoiled as possible. I merely respect their wishes in reminding you of the rule. I know there was no ill will, just a reminder 😉
22 October 2013 at 11:45 #19031@nick everything from the Spoilers thread is to be discussed there. As long as it is no official information from the BBC there are people here that wish to be left oblivious
22 October 2013 at 11:13 #19025Sssssssssssssssssssppppppppppppoooooooooooooiiiiiiiiilllllllleeeeeeerrrrrrrssss!
@d12345 Nah, I don’t think it is so easy. I do agree that it is something that should persuade the Doctor to do something or provides some kind of missing information. But from who?
22 October 2013 at 07:23 #19018Sssssssssssssssssssppppppppppppoooooooooooooiiiiiiiiilllllllleeeeeeerrrrrrrssss!
@wolfweed Omg, lovely pictures! The most intriguing one is that letter!!! And so obvious now that we are going back to Galifrey! What is Under Galifrey? Who wrote it? If it was some Timelord why did he/she not bring it his/herself?
21 October 2013 at 20:51 #18977@bluesqueakpip Now that you write it like that it just sounds like an elaboration of what the Doctor said to Clara: The time stream is collapsing in on itself because the Doctor stepped in. Do you remember? When she yelled “Well get out, then!”
21 October 2013 at 20:45 #18972@wolfweed Nice article! What would I do without you! I would submit to a Who-Newsletter from you ;D
“If it were up to me the BBC would only publicise Doctor Who and Sherlock,” says Moffat, “but I have to wait in line”
Radio TimesVery likeable of him. Although it would make both shows much less interesing if they were accessible anytime we want to. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence… And Sherlock fans would be dust by now in comparison. Lucky I got in so late.
21 October 2013 at 20:37 #18969Hey guys,
I was just wondering if we ever discussed that Clara used the exact same or nearly the same sentences as River did sometimes? Did that ever come up? I would have to rewatch it to give examples though – will have to wait for proper internet to do that. Just wanted to revisit that in case it comes up in the 50th or the christmas special.
The closest one I can remember is this : River “I have pictures of all your faces” Clara: “I have seen all of you” (TNOTD granted not the best one yet, will evolve on that one once I regain full internet-access again and rewatched everything with River)
21 October 2013 at 19:36 #18959@bluesqueakpip Love that idea of yours that the TARDIS chose something representing the Doctor! Absolutely fabulous. Too bad we don’t have much to go on before he ran away as @Shazzbot suggests.
As to the croatian case in the last few posts: I can’t quite tell if he is mocking us completly or is just a bit messing about but still likes the show… @pedant I know you wanted to help but on first reading your replies to him you sounded a bit condecending? I thought I might point that out since we wanted to welcome everyone, right? I might have mistaken your tone, I suppose.
21 October 2013 at 15:14 #18918Thanks dear @Shazzbot !<3
That trailer is amazing. So much detail in such a short time. Loved the color for the first one. The wig of eleven was dreadfully visible though.
I agree that the wording is very imperative to the whole trailer. Beside the use of lives instead of life he could have used ‘our future depends on this…’ meaning really his live depends on this day. No wonder there is so much going oh in this 50th thread!Cheers, will rewatch it to catch more detail,
Timeloop
21 October 2013 at 13:16 #18897Did they or did they Not Show the 50th Trailor?? In the one week I have no access to the internet?? If so could someone post a link where I can see it? Will stay longer in University to use the wifi if so. Pretty please let it be true (just skipped trough here during a break) and pretty please with a cherry on top post a link!
Cheers,
Timeloop
18 October 2013 at 09:51 #18678@bluesqueakpip that would not sit well with me. It just fits to the mood in the episode and I remember Moffat saying he would not want to show that actual bit because who knows what River does to the Doctor when they are alone… And there are children watching.
Of course I can be proven wrong but I hope not. I myself would love that scene but I grudgingly have to agree with Moffat. Instead, I would like to see them getting closer over time from Rivers point of view. The first time Matt got her. The second time PC? The third time they mention a different adventure when the Doctor was still Ten? The second time we saw River the Doctor knew more than he could have done from that one meeting in the library- so did Tennant bump into her? What made him run from her?
Cheers,
Timeloop
17 October 2013 at 22:29 #18661@scaryb Thanks for the welcome 🙂
@bluesqueakpip Sorry to disappoint you but we have already seen the last day River and the Doctor spent together. It was in that Minisode ‘The last night’ as in contrast to the Minisode ‘The first night’ where he first picks her up from her prison (Stormcage?). As much as I would love to see that it is just not in the cards. He dressed up in a tux and all … She said’he is going to take me to the Singing Towers, he has been promising for ages’
@all nice theories out there with fusing and all… Not quite sure what to make of it yet myself.
Are there things you definitely expect from the next episode? I for one really need a better explanation for the whole Silence thingy…. ‘Silence must fall when the question is asked”they believe it (the future of the Doctor) must be averted…’ So they wanted to kill him so he does not die later? What for havens sake happens inside the time stream that is a so called ‘endless bitter war (…) against you.’ The name of the Doctor was a real let-down in that direction. I just hope he was doing an understatement and that Steven Moffat will give a more sufficient and satisfying explanation. I also expect the Doctor to get out of his own time stream without creating a Timeloop. I’d rather he has to race time in order to escape… Maybe with Clara already on the other side. Will the Hurt Doctor follow them or keep standing there looking in one direction. Maybe whatever he did has paralyzed him so that he somehow locked himself somewhere without regenerating? Splitting a part of him with that machine that made ten human? Maybe he banned this part of his personality?
Maybe Hurt is the mental lock in nightmare in silver? A constant inner monologue with the part he abandoned? Maybe that is why Clara could not see him inside the time stream?prisoner of himself? The episode is said to be very emotional, right? Maybe he has to come to terms with himself and his capacities?Curious what you might definitely expect from the new episode!
15 October 2013 at 21:00 #18562@scaryb Thanks for that link, exactly what I have been looking for! Even though I am back in Germany now I am honestly thinking about flying to the UK for the 23. to see the whole thing in a cinema, must be amazing. Turns out my best mate found his way to Doctor Who as well when I was in the UK so we might just book a flight and do it… (Funny how things work out sometimes).
A bit off topic: got into Sherlock BBC while waiting for the Doctor to get a move on – Looks like anything Gatiss and Moffat do turns out to be genius. If either of those two or anyone who knows them in person ever reads this in secret: thank you very much indeed for all the fun times to Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat!
@hudsey there rings something very true for me in your idea for the name of the Doctor actually being the day that the Doctor is “born”. I have a feeling this might be spot on. Fits with the last episode we have seen: the Doctor has a secret he will take to the grave. It is discovered. They were not talking about the secret but the grave. So we should try to take it without forcing more meaning into it than there is. Exciting to think we will see the emotional process that formed the Doctor whether that is number zero or a timewar Doctor. As I always like to include River I had a thought that fits into what you were theorizing: if it is a Non-Doctor and everything the Doctor wanted to leave behind then there is that reason in SITL and FOTD why River is so sorry to tell him his actual name because she knows it causes him pain and s stress in a situation where he already lost Donna…
Sorry if I am just repeating anyone in this thread, have not kept up with every post.
Cheers,
Timeloop
15 October 2013 at 19:56 #18560Hi guys!
I was just looking for our forum on a tablet and just tipped in what I thought the URL was…. For a second there I thought I was in the wrong place On the interwebs but then I saw all the familiar threads and faces and I must say: wow! Looks absolutely beautiful. Before I realized I was at the right spot I wanted to suggest that countdown to the forum as well. Absolutely awesome Craig! Really just a great job, much appreciated!
Cheers,
Timeloop
P.S.: sorry if the format is wonky… The tablet would not provide the keyboard in the visual tab…
