I don't know what Moffat is going to do in three years time now that he's moved the 10th Anniversary episode forward to this year.

Well, he is the guy who invented the catchphrase "timey wimey," as well as the guy who knows he's the cleverest writer in showbusiness. Just one step further to take it to the meta level and claim that the 10th anniversary is really this year because of wibbly wobbly spoiler reasons.

Im still hoping that Due to time war shenanigans that John Hurt Regenerates into Peter Capaldi and Nine, ten and Eleven disappear in some sort of Temporal non-existence. That would be the Ultimate troll move ever from Moffat. You know that show you enjoyed the past many years It never happened.

I don't like some of Moffat's "cleverness," but I think celebrating the 10th anniversary prematurely because it's a show based on a time traveler would be actually kinda funny. (Speaking of Moffat trolling...)

It appears that one of the stuntworkers has accidentally revealed that the Cybermen will be in the Christmas special: http://www.denofgeek.com/tv/doctor-who/27135/has-the-doctor-who-christmas-special-monster-been-revealed This doesn't necessarily mean they're going to feature prominently, but I'd say odds are that they're the major villain in Matt Smith's swansong.

It'd be a nice parallel to the First Doctor. Wish I could be excited though.

Seems the hair will be back as well, as there are clips of him talking about what a nightmare wearing a wig for the Christmas Special will be. At least he'll now have something to talk about with Paul McGann. Also, by my count this will now be the third regeneration story in which the lead actor wears a wig, following the grand tradition of Time and the Rani and the TV Movie. interesting doctor who factsTM

T-Bakes may also have been wearing a wig in his regeneration story, come to think of it. he was ill a lot of the last season and had to wear one because his hair had lost its insane frizziness. Uh oh we're on wigchat again!

Hartnell wore a wig for something like 130 episodes, so I think McGann and Smith just need to man up a little.

I don't know why anyone find the bit in The Pandorica Opens because it goes against what is actually interesting about the Cybermen by making it a robot that can exist even without the human insides.

(I honestly don't remember) Yes, but it was explained as being an old exploit in the Cybermen's operating system that the Doctor could only exploit because it was in a vulnerable state due to trying to control him. Because the Cybermen, like the Daleks, are basically just robots now.

Do I even need to say gently caress It at this point? I just, there is SO MUCH you can do with the Cybermen! The last good story with them, outside of audios, should not have been 30 something goddamn years ago!

The Cyberman have been crappy since the Fourth Doctor era anyway. The "Excellent!" Cybermen were about the silliest recurring villains.

It's the first time I've seen the costume, though. Love it. Imagine her showing up like that on the show, with half the viewers not knowing who she is. Something else we can wish was a clever cover for the show.

It'd be great if every time Romana shows up she's trolling a different one of the Doctor's costumes, then acts confused if he asks about it.

When the bbc first announced Tennant was coming back they just tweeted an image of him right after losing rose where he had the hair down. So this MIGHT be in between the period where he loses Rose and then burns up a star, or it might just be me over thinking things.
