[The Technomancer]

Moffat's Radio Times Summary:

This sounds fucking awesome. Its the "just plain weird" that I feel the show hasn't had enough of lately.

 

[Jintor]

It reminds me very strongly of my very favourite Adams line:

Dirk Gently, hired by someone he never meets, to do a job that is never specified, starts following people at random.

 

[bengraven]

Oh god, these are all beautiful, especially the dinosaur and Wild West one.



PLEASE GOD let someone avatarize that picture of Matt's face, preferably pointing, while on that Triceratops.

I think the dinosaur one is by far the weakest.... ::shrugs::

 

[bengraven]

That look on his face is priceless.

It's like Buddy Christ of the 21st century.

 

[Exterminieren]

Yeah, the composition's off, and the triceratops looks daft.

A Town Called Mercy, though. That's a knockout image; iconic and evocative in all the right ways.

Again, WHY DO THE DINOSAURS NOT HAVE FEATHERS? It would've been awesome for the Doctor to encounter them as well as keep the show up with latest scientific trends.

Doctor: Hmm, dinosaurs seem a lot more...feathery than I remember.

 

[The Technomancer]

The poster for Dinosaurs on a Spaceship just drives home further what I thought since I first heard the premise: its looking like an episode written by mashing two popular things together so a certain segment of fans will go "zomg two popular things together!"

It's on the name itself!

Dinosaurs! On a spaceship!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Snakes On A Plane! What a silly idea, lol, and it could be good.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Sounds like the comic version of The Lodger (10th Doctor moves in with Mickey).

I was thinking the same thing. Episode will be awesome.

When was the last time he came across them in his travels?

 

[Mariolee]

Quick google search shows me this: Invasion of the Dinosaurs

We've come a long way since the Third Doctor.

 

[Slime]

^Man, that story dragged on and on...probably one of my least favorites. But such was the case with a lot of Pertwee stories longer than 4 episodes (unfortunately 6-7 was kind of the norm).

 

[Exterminieren]

Unless we count the pterodactyl in The Wedding of River Song, it's the Third Doctor's Invasion of the Dinosaurs.

A surprisingly clever and subversive one, absolutely wrecked by the execution.

 

[ultron87]

I'm assuming that Dinosaurs on a Spaceship will treat it with the tongue in cheek mood that the title implies.

I'm not counting that or the one that used to hang out in Torchwood's Cardiff HQ either. Looks like a dude in a T-Rex suit from 40 years ago is it... It's about time.
Edit: Welcome... to Jurassic Ship

Although I'm not entirely sure if you wanted the triceratops in the picture.

 

[Htown]

Blame America. Seriously, they do it with all the television series over there, including How I Met Your Mother. It's to give the illusion your show runs all year long, with re-runs in between. But in the end, it's just so, so infuriating. What's even more pathetic is that the series is starting so late, so we've had to wait months anyway. When Series 7 finishes, it will have been two years since Series 6 started.

If they're copying the US, then they're doing it wrong, because when we do it it's with seasons of like 22 episodes instead of 10.

Samuel L Jackson to guest star

I am tired of these monkey fighting Dinosaurs on this Monday to Friday Spacesh--*gets eaten by a Dinosaur*

 

[Diablos54]

It's not copying the U.S., more like adapting to their schedule, since BBC America help with the funding or something (Hence the America episodes) as well as its increased popularity there in recent years.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

But it's dinosaurs! On a spaceship!

Honestly, the title alone makes it my most anticipated episode. Just to see how silly it is.

 

[Kuraudo]

I'm really skeptical about Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, if only because the concept reminds me of that godawful Red Dwarf episode. Hoping to be convinced otherwise.

On the flip side, A Town Called Mercy reminds me of that awesome Red Dwarf episode.

A Town Called Mercy has Ben Browder. So I am excited for that one as well.

 

[Horse Detective]

Mannnnn Tennant's acting in "End of times" is just superb. Really enjoying this so far.


edit:

Just finished it. ;(

Pond Life part 4

 

[bengraven]

Although I'm not entirely sure if you wanted the triceratops in the picture.

You are beautiful. Thank you.

Pond Life part 4

I want this show so fucking bad!

Rory's lunchbox!

I love how Amy's hair is always perfect, even after she just woke up!

And she can steal my sausage any day.

 

[Jintor]

I feel so guilty

 

[The Elite]

One thing I will reveal from the new episode since I've seen it a few places is that (not a story spoiler)

Spoiler

the opening title sequence is ever-so-slightly unique to the episode.

 

[8bit]

Rory's lunchbox!

Haha, it's got Centurions on it.

 

[The Elite]

That's clever.

10 or 22 episodes, funding from BBC America aside, it's frustrating. And a poor illusion trick.

Pond Life part 4

Haha, I wonder if we'll see the Ood in the actual upcoming season, or if it's going to be picked up by the next Pond Life.

 

[Dr Zhivago]

They had a small clip on breakfast TV this morning:

Rory hands Amy the divorce papers !!!!1111!!11one

Are the vortex or the fonts changed at all, or is it just the logo?

Vortex colour adjusted slightly. Fonts are changed too. Very well done. Apparently there will be slight changes to the logo with each episode.

Oh fuck me why did I read that?

I thought that bit was well known.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I thought that bit was well known.

No. But the official description implied that that might be coming. Doesn't mean I like it. As long as it is handled well I will be ok.

And loved part 4 of Pond Life. Rory's lunchbox was awesome.

Ah.

Just checked doctorwhospoilers.com and it's good to see that they still don't have the BIG spoilers listed for this Saturday's episode. They're either keeping it a secret or have not heard the news.

 

[BatDan]

That's not too bad for the time.

You should probably see it in motion.

 

[Fuzzy]

I made a couple of avatars for whoever wants them from current t-shirt deals.

I don't really like the second one.

 

[King of the Potato People]

Everything about this new series seems to be daft and fun, after the last series tried to be so grim.

I couldn't tell if they were humouring him because it was bad coffee/tea, or just to get him out of the room.

This will bother me the whole day now. But...can you really humour an Ood?

Also:

Matt Smith on the 50th anniversary:

"[2013 is] a very exciting year for Doctor Who. I feel very pleased and privileged to be a part of that year because it's the biggest year in the show's history. It's his birthday, so it's my birthday. [The special] won't just be a televised event, I think it will be a live event. The way it's transmitted on TV will hopefully be an inventive thing–something different."

So, Doctor Who sitcom.

Spoiler

pls lol

 

[infiniteloop]

I can take an Ood making breakfast in an apron, but Amy's awful wig takes me out of it every time.

Why is she wearing a wig? Cut her hair for a movie/TV role?
