Man, I can really tell that the Time War audio stories are repurposed War Doctor stories; poor 8 is getting put through the moral wringer

I don't think that trailer was any good. Comparing it too similar moody teasers it's probably the weakest one they have done.

I don't get the food thing. She steals a guy's sausage, replaces a woman's pizza and swaps another dude's reading material when he's distracted by canteen food. Is this some sort of play on RTD's chip's thing, or was someone just hungry?

I would assume it's just time shenanigans by the doctor. the end. But maybe it's a hint to a new gimmick the doctor has, instead of psychic paper or sonic screwdrivers? jivjov posted:"It's regeneration, not regenderation" -ostensibly an adult fan of Doctor Who I'm sure it looked awesome in impact font on a low resolution meme on their facebook page.

Regardless of its relation to what will happen in the show it is a bizarre and dumb thing to show in a promo because I don't think Mystery Pizza is gonna get people hype

Even though time travel works oddly in Doctor Who, to the point you can get a visit from your future self even if you're in the process of dying, therefore preventing it Sooo... What happens if Doctors One though Thirteen all converge at one point, each with their own fully-equipped Infinity Gauntlet?

Daily Mail (grain of salt, and all that. You know the procedure by now) are saying that The Macra Terror and The Wheel in Space are next in line for the animation treatment. Which is silly, because there's no such thing as Macra

This is cool. I guess the BBC are going to focus on animating serials with monsters, as opposed to historicals.

The teaser isn't quite clear on if the Doctor is causing the odd time effects, or if she's there because they're happening. I'm just curious if this is actually part of the initial story or just a set of visual gags specifically for teasers.

If I could travel in time, I would totally replace someone's reading material with a Nintendo Power when they weren't looking, and refill people's pizza boxes with delicious pizza, as a prank.

I took at more as weird time stuff happening and these people are noticing, which is how they end up entangled with the Doctor who is presumably investigating the weird time stuff.

Imagine if you could pinpoint an exact moment when your friend found that they were out of cookies or whiskey, and note the few seconds they were looking somewhere else, and later, travel back in time and materialize behind them with replacement cookies or whiskey, except a better brand.

Lessail posted:*The Doctor does time pranks showing off how mischievous she is* This, seriously. It's just a fun little 'look at the doctor helpfully interacting with her companions' lives in a way that both demonstrates her interest in the everyday and also her magic time abilities, in the pleasing juxtaposition of domesticity and whimsical sci fi woo that has characterised Doctor Who since 2005'. It's not meant to be taken literally.

I'm sure it was just mainly visual hoo-hah designed to remind the audience what the show is about (and reassure people who were afraid the show might possibly not be 100% revolving around events on Earth/the UK/London). It's just that at this point, there isn't a person on the planet who doesn't know that the premise of the show is time travel-related shenanigans. So it was a little pointless in that regard.
