Before The Stolen Earth/Journey's End aired there was post on another forum that claimed to have a 100% totally accurate leaked plot synopses for those episodes, which included a flashbacks which showed Harriet Jones hiding out on the Valiant during the events of Last of the Time Lords and then getting turned into the red dalek. It also said we'd see the Eighth Doctor and Grace Holloway seal up the Medusa Cascade.

It was wrong.

I went through the archives and found it here:

Just going off his brief appearance in DotD, you can see a brown collar next to his STARE OF DEATH, maybe we'll see a combination of outfits from previous Doctors? Ten's coat, Four's scarf, Seven's umbrella, Three/Eight's ruffles...and either Eleven's bowtie or fez.

gently caress, I just want it as a running gag that after Eleven, no Doctor can resist the allure of a fez.

It's the standard generic "spoiler" example, drawn from the potentially most ridiculous possible spoiler.

The fact that the Sontarans (traditional enemies of the Rutans) used a Martha clone in an episode catapulted the joke from the ridiculous to the sublime.

Enjoy your serious reply in the Something Awful Doctor Who thread.

Are we really doing enemy alliances again? I'm going to assume they're all an imaginary invasion, like The God Complex or something. The planet of Trenzalore is also Christmas town, and..? I don't even. It was remarked in Name of the Doctor that Trenzalore was a very small battle, but the Doctor was old and didn't make it. An alliance of Daleks, Cybermen, and Angels (can they even communicate to make an alliance?) doesn't scream 'small battle'.

It's said that it's a minor skirmish by his blood soaked standards, and "not the Time War". Which in the grand scheme of things could make it one of the greatest battles in the history of existence.

Moffat does seem to be inconsistent about it. I kind of like the idea that the Doctor finally dies in a tiny battle on a tiny world, which Trenzalore was intimated to be, and now it's getting bigger and more epic and suitably 'end of an era'.

It was an entire dead planet covered in graveyards from what we saw, that is by no estimation 'small'. Give them that much.

Capaldi's tenure as the Doctor ends with his memories stored in a pocket watch as he decides to live on Earth for a while.

He takes the first name John as he did in Human Nature I and II. He then takes the surname Frobisher in honour of his companion during his 6-7 incarnations.

John Frobisher then gets a government job, falls in love and starts a family...

It looks like it's made out of modelling clay. Which it probably is.

I think the idea is cool, it's just been executed very lazily. It follows the design too closely, when it would be better approximated with the shapes wood can actually be made of if it's supposed to be a crudely fashioned Cyberman.
