Sea Devils And Die: GeroniMoffat's Doctor Who In The 2010s

River = the Dominion

River is the smoking man

Haha, there's something written by somebody else since my last post I would get lynched for saying because it was in DWM and there have been a flurry of production team tweets about it. So much controversy (in the Who world) I very nearly posted about it.

Anyway, have one of these and all be friends together waiting for the new episodes.

Tell you what I hate: walking around town and seeing posters for forthcoming films that GIVE AWAY THEIR FUCKING TITLES.

Has anyone else seen the prequel, and are we (or are we not) talking about it since it's only on the website and is not available outside of Britain? (See also trailers, including the US-only one)

we talked about it upthread

? I see talk about UK trailer 2 only.

isn't the prequel just the 2 minute clip i originally embedded (Tricky Dicky & Moffat-autopilot-but-still-awesome shenans)?

yes, I think so. and then there was a season trailer. AFAIK that's all that has been released, audio-visually.

There's more than one version of the Tricky Dicky film, there's a US only trailer that doesn't have anything from the one upthread on it, there's a different UK trailer after it and there is more than one edit of all the trailers (for a specific plot reason).

I like the Britisher trailer instead

But either way OMG EXCITED

irl lol

US trailer gives glimpses of some 'scarier' shit than the previous one but not much else of note

my real fear remains that their welcome upping of creepiness will just be hampered as usual by Gold's incessant cranked up orchestral shite

there's certainly a lot of characters holding guns in that trailer... whats worse, Moffat's guns-are-cool agenda or his pro-heteronormtaive agenda? (note I don't think he actually consciously has these agendas but its food for posts maybe)

^^ marvellously polite trolling

Rights holders are fucking idiots.

lol @ US-style voiceover. half-expecting "from the creator of Coupling..."

"The genius behind Press Gang brings you..."

? I see talk about UK trailer 2 only.

POTUS seemed to slip into Reagan caricature there momentarily. Also, the "monster in the White House" bit is a good lol.

Looked like good old president Bill "Ike" Nixclinton.

if it's set in present-times, there's another timeline crunch for aldo to annotate (though last series' reset button gives them a bunch of leeway)

OR DOES IT, HMM?

I am only going to lurk this year btw. Until I explode in a fit of pique.

From the side, I thought it was President Logan from 24 at first.

Reel to reel tape recorder suggests nixon era, as does voice (kinda), nose.

― and the hint of parp (ledge), Monday, 28 March 2011 22:33 (2 weeks ago)

yeah, am sure it's meant to be Nixon if any real or real-world-analogue PUSA

― kris menace isn't even french (sic), Monday, 28 March 2011 22:35 (2 weeks ago)

I figured Logan in 24 was based on Nixon as well, so I wasn't far off.

also lol:

xp not watching it this year, staying out of thread &c.

you're an angry angry man

I am smiling when I type "lol"

And now a new new new BBC America trailer, and a CBBC trailer.

Murray Gold's Revamp of the Dr Who Theme

One week guys!!

:D

12 days for legally-minded mongrels

Our pals at Buzzfeed managed to get a sit-down with the cast of Doctor Who, and they did what any respectable American would do -- got Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill to read asinine celebrity tweets in the best American accents they could muster. If you've ever wanted to hear The Doctor struggling with a Sarah Palin quote, this is probably your only chance. The highlight of the whole thing might be The Doctor's lovely companion misprouncing "Ghostface Killah." Instant classic!

grr the new episode was dangled in front of me on a hard drive this afternoon but I was not allowed to touch it

so psyched, my 13 yo niece has discovered Who and is all caught up on the new-Who seasons, ready for next weekend. Yay!

I watched Planet of the Spiders on Saturday.

Karen Gillan u r so pretty but come on, "natl" != "NATO." (TBF, Matt was wrong too -- who knew Rory is the brains of the outfit?)

apropos nowt

mods can we turn this to a tinyurl or something? it seems to show the tenth doctor coming back and i did NOT want to be spoilered http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/angry/3d-mad.gif

my sister claims that's an old photo from the mag's year-end retrospective and doesn't mean anything relating to the new season

Sounds like guff to me:

http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/ex-tra-po-late-moral-philosophy-and-the-daleks/

(as someone said on Twitter, a) Daleks are scary without knowing their back story and b) this would apply more to Cybermen)

Actually, what am I saying? Daleks aren't scary.

Tennant looks disturbingly like Charlie Sheen in that photo.

I like his suit

Oh shit, RIP Elisabeth Sladen. :(

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

WHAT?

NO!!! noooooooooooooooooo
