By simply having Rose Tyler in the trailer, my interest drops by about 75%

A movie plex by my place is showing it on the big screen. It will be after the date but should be fun.

Dang it, just linked it on the other thread thinking that I was the first to post- sorry

Finally get to see the Time War; I wonder if it will open with the war or we get a series of flashbacks?

I have to completely agree there.

I have no problems with Rose, but I'm weird like that. Having said that, the only thing I'll add is the fact that The Moment is at hand.

Grooooan!!!

I don't have any problem with Rose either, its just that they've brought her back too many times IMHO.

Too each his own. I'll say no more.

Deadborder · « **Reply #9 on:** 10 November 2013, 06:35:32 »

I'm going to be honest here. I never liked her to begin with in her original run. That the series then spent the entirety of Martha and Donna's run as companions basically talking them down while pointing out that she was a far more wonderful human being than they could ever be was maddening, and going out of their way to bring her back at every opportunity was even worse. She's one of the reasons i gave up on New Who.

Just saying

I have to work that night :-( :'(

Anyone know if this will be OnDemand later?

Sharpnel · « **Reply #11 on:** 10 November 2013, 07:49:59 »

Probably a day or two after, if past performance dictates future events.

I totally get where you coming from. I think Rose is cool and pretty BA. BUT I just have a problem with the Doctor falling in love with anyone. I grew up watching stories from the classic Who and I can't see any of those Doctors falling in love with a human (or anyone else for that matter). The Eighth Doctor...maybe but then again he was written by committee, so...
Also the way the Doctor treated Martha was actually pretty horrible. "Yes I know you are falling for me, but I'm just going to ignore that and continue to pine away for the last girl."
What is it with the companion always has to fall in love with the Doctor now anyway? Rose, Martha (Donna thankfully escaped this), Amy, Clara seems to have escaped this as well. I certainly hope that the next one won't. :P

I would rather see Donna back than Rose.

monbvol · « **Reply #14 on:** 10 November 2013, 14:00:24 »

Rose did outstay her welcome but I'm not as up in arms about her return as others. Donna wasn't bad but the writers did tend to treat her as baggage a little too often. And yeah I'd love to see a trend towards people who work together of appropriate sexual disposition not fall in love.

Comrades, not lovers. Hear hear, I think the MUST HAVE ROMANCE PLOT that's in everything cheapens a lot of shows.

Lazarus Jaguar · « **Reply #16 on:** 10 November 2013, 14:45:14 »

Agreed. And that is why River Song must die in fire.

But she already died in the library...

Mecha82 · « **Reply #18 on:** 10 November 2013, 19:03:59 »

To be fair I liked River for her attitude and way she interacted with The Doctor. Like Donna she was not intiminated by him while actually doing well whole love intrest part unlike Rose and Martha. And before anyone asks yes, I did also like Amy and Clara. But River was special since she was partial Time Lord.

Here is an updated and longer version of the trailer

YingJanshi · « **Reply #20 on:** 10 November 2013, 21:09:42 »

Oh cool! Thanks. (Had seen that one but couldn't find it on YouTube. >:()

Sooo I've heard it said both ways, but do you think the 10th is a "past" Doctor or is it the Half-Doctor left with Rose?

monbvol · « **Reply #21 on:** 10 November 2013, 22:10:37 »

My money is on the Doctor that left with Rose.

ANS Kamas P81 · « **Reply #22 on:** 10 November 2013, 22:37:28 »

Wouldn't that be a world without Turn Left in it? And everything that came about since? Or am I thinking backwards...

Considering all the differences of that world, I don't think "Turn Left" matters all that much.

Lazarus Jaguar · « **Reply #24 on:** 11 November 2013, 06:38:22 »

Ok, watched the new trailer (I thought it was the other one I'd seen before), and saw it starts at 2:50

I don,t have to leave for work till quarter after 5

Me happy now :-D

I don't think so; I believe that it just takes place during an event that grabs Doctors from different points in Time. This has happened before with "The Five Doctors" and the brief 5th and 10th Doctor mini episode.

Now I am curious to how much of the Time War we will see as well as the "Moment" that ended the war.

Please bring up the fall of Arcadia.

I'll still watch, and possibly enjoy, the episode even if it isn't brought up.

The 3D theatrical simulcast is on my littl' Whovian daughter's tenth birthday. Add the fact that we cut cable about two-ish months ago and no longer have BBC America it made this year's present a no-brainer.

The trick will be avoiding the internet for two days. #P

You are a good dad O0

The kids and I saw the trailer yesterday on BBCA while watching Top Gear, the kids have been asking about this since the season finale, and they were bouncing off the couch after seeing the trailer.

You all understand if there is a 'Forgotten' Doctor then our good Doctor Who has used up all his regenerations now. A hidden Doctor would give us Twelve known Doctors and as we all know Gallifriens only have twelve regenerations, well except the Master who somehow got a thirteenth.
