Some new pics (!SPOILERS!)

Oh my....one of those pictures....
Promo pic spoilers.
http://popculturezoo.com/wp-content/gallery/7bimages/doctor-who-series-7b_final_4198148_4198138.jpg is that the sixth doctor behind Clara!?
Yup, and her yelling at Pertwee who's driving Bessie.
I guess we know the leaked plot is real. Looking forward to it, however, I'm still thinking it's going to be a disappointment if they don't bring 8/9 =(
Talking more about others, bbc promo pics are different as always.

The River Song storyline would have be almost impossibly great if the Doctor slowly fell in love with her as she reverted in time and, to his great sadness, became his enemy, ending with the horrible revelation of something terrible the Doctor did the first time she met him (id est, the last time he sees her), causing her antagonism in the first place.
Instead, they axed the cool and pretty darn rare "timecrossed lovers" plot device and just made her a generic backup hero while trivilising what should have been the deliriously cool part of her story in five minutes or so.
Happy Moffat is so adorable! ♥

I don't think it's going to leak. The BBC knows the names and addresses of everyone who got a copy!

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!
The copies don't have individualized coding like screeners so it doesn't matter. If some enterprising individual decides to leak it, it will leak.
I still don't think it's going to leak though.

That's the best part of her character though, because it allowed the Doctor to do that awesome introduction:

I'm basing it on the fact that x amount of people got the Blu Ray but there are still no real spoilers from those people (as far as I know). So either the people that pre-ordered the Blu Ray are super dedicated who fans, which they are most likely are since they bother to pre-order it, and/or there are only a small small small number of people that received the Blu Ray making a leak highly unlikely.
But I would be thoroughly surprised if it does make it out before air date.

Just wanted to say ( i'm late i know ) that i liked ep 11 .. in term of setting and situations.
That episode 12 was "alright" and the best parts where obviously the 2 dual doctor duel
Not a fan of the alien cyberman design. but it's close enough.
Can't wait for season finale.

BIG SPOILERS, but this grab from The Name of the Doctor that the BBC posted on the Doctor Who Facebook page makes me so hyped.

I just realised what I think this sequence is going to depict based on the earlier plot leaks, and Eeeeeee!
Fuuuuuuu....
I was super pissed off when I saw this on facebook - is it impossible to go into something spoiler-free nowadays?

Still - for someone who hasn't read the leaks it means one of two things, (discussion of that image - not full episode spoilers)
either clara is a timelord or is some kind of system created by a timelord - or they've cast the first doctor within the show, meaning the 11 doctors is still on the cards

I have a #DoctorWho twitter search going, and I'm looking at a bunch of torrent comments for funnies... but I somehow have not got spoiled by anything. I think I should stop for my own safety.
This is actually the most carefree on searching something I do not want to be spoiled by. I pretty much hid away for stuff like the Finale of Fringe/Lost and the release of Bioshock Infinite
Not clicked that link though.
I'd think kid version of the Doctor is more likely than anything Clara related. Which raises so many questions with how regeneration works.

Er, we've already
seen a time lord as a child (Master Flashbacks in Series 3) as well as heard childhood on Gallifrey described fairly well.
I wouldn't be that surprised if they did
show the Doctor "steal" the TARDIS and run away. Or maybe show the ceremony where he picked up his title. The last would seem fitting.
But that was already explained in the ClassicWho series 1.
Ah yeah I had a feeling that had happened. But how come the First Doctor was able to age from a small child to an old guy while the Eleventh dicked around for 200 years and barely aged at all.

I remember reading a theory that Time Lords don't become Time Lords (two hearts, not properly ageing) until their first regeneration. Something like that?
APZonerunner

There's a million potential explanations for this, really. Pre New Who expanded media claimed that Time Lords didn't grow their second heart and thus obtain a lot of their physical abilities until during their first regeneration. This has never been said anywhere in the show, but it's a good piece of lore from the expanded works. Only having one heart is given as the reason why the second Tenth Doctor in Journey's End would age, as well.
