Eh, you either hate the Tennant years or you don't, I guess. Rose had to grow on me, but I didn't think she was so bad, and "It's all a big joke and I'm having fun!" (which was Amy's main way of operating too) is better than "Doctor, I wanna go hoooooooome!" or a the "I'm too awesome to be impressed with time travel" poo poo you get with some companions.

It's going to be season 2-era Rose. 10 is in his season 2 outfit and hairstyle, and that's the only time he was wearing that specific look while still traveling or doing anything with Rose.

^^ Totes. Wow, Tennant looks old in that poster. Well, not *old right now* exactly but very much on the cusp of it like the skin on his face is going to wake up soon, get a kicking from middle age and just fall down to his knees in a jowly, saggy mess. Possibly.

I wonder if Moffat is bothered by the "Bad Wolf is important because it gets spread through time because it's important" aspect and is trying to give independent significance to it. By making it a code name for the Dalek genocide, for instance. It's the kind of retcon GMS likes. I'd like that if he didn't make it somehow even more stupid. I live in hope.

Or it's just as simple as "Rose could see the future from the Anniversary special and seeded Bad Wolf there too to be consistent". It doesn't have to be anything beyond the scope that's already been established. I suppose that's unlikely if they're putting it in the poster, unless that's just become shorthand for "Rose" now.

I think there's just a difference between casting spoilers/leaked photos and 'here's a breakdown of the last episode and why I liked/didn't like it.' Also, if you aren't caught up most of the discussion will be meaningless.

It's easy to duck out of the spoiler thread once plot summaries start hitting, but if you're behind on watching (and I always am by at least one day), you have to wait to catch up on. Just kind of the way it works.

The Daleks rattled off their nicknames for The Doctor in Asylum of the Daleks, and one of them was never mentioned on the show before that point: "The Predator".

Perhaps lending credence to some earlier rumors:Peter Davison posted:I have got a copy of the script which has got my name embossed across it. So it’s top secret, but there’s other stuff, lots of other things that are going on that people should keep their eye open for around the 50th anniversary special! http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/did-peter-davison-drop-a-big-hint-on-the-50th-53076.htm

I wonder if, as a kid, David Tennant wanted the 5th Doctor to be his dad. You know, like a lot of little kids want their role figures to be their parents. I wonder how proud ChildTennant is that adulthim made that happen.

The convention videos Davison made where Tennant shows up and tells him to stop hanging around are hilarious. Some people are speculating that Davison might be playing Omega in a 5th Doctor's body again. Though that might be a reference too far to pack into one special, it would make sense that if the Time Lords where bringing back Rassilon, they might bring back his Best Frenemy Forever Omega for the last act of Gallifreyan Society. Or hell, maybe the Daleks would recruit him. "Hey, you hate Gallifreyans, right? So do we!"

Regarding the finale: Steven Moffat posted:“Oh, never mind the TARDIS blowing up, what about the endless, bitter war Kovarian was on about? And what’s Trenzalore? And the oldest question in the universe? And what exactly do they mean, silence will fall? Anyway, I’m off to a readthrough…” Yes, completely ignore the questions people want answered, by all means.

Is that quote from some recent thing? We know the deal with most of that stuff (Trenzalore is where the doctor died, the oldest question in the universe is "doctor who?" and the meaning of "silence will fall" changed from episode to episode in accordance with the whims of Moffat) so it sounds like he's making fun of people who want answers by saying they've already got them. Which I guess is better PR than saying "eh, it sounded cool so I chucked it in" at least.

Edit: Now that I think about it, I'd like to know how they fit Frobisher in.
