Spoilers, Sweetie - The Latest

Sorry about this being so late. My friends managed to talk me into going to the bar with them last night and I'm still so very very hung over. Not fun.

Anywho, some of the BEST NEWS EVER came out on the 24th, quickly followed by more FANTASTIC news so I figured that I would stick to telling everyone about that rather than our regularly scheduled programming.

Spoilers below!

First of all, interview with Matt Smith about the upcoming series!



And now for the first thing that really made me squeal. James Corden is going to be coming back meaning that we're going to get some sort of 'The Lodger' part 2! If you remember from the Christmas trailer, the Tardis-wannabe ship is seen so maybe the Doctor and Craig will be teaming up once more to determine where the ship came from.


Even more exciting, rumor has it that a new trailer is headed our way in early March. If it does appear it's going to be more like the vortex promo from series 5 rather than something that shows lots of clips like the Christmas trailer, but it'll still be nice to see some new footage. However, the last paragraph of this writeup is quite possibly the most exciting. Easter comes quite late this year and if we're forced to wait until April 23rd to see the first episode of series 6, there is a good chance that they'll show the next episode on April 24th!


That's right! The two-parter in America shown over two days! Additionally, the BBC is planning on following the success of the Christmas episode and showing the new Doctor Who series on BBC America only a few hours after it initially airs in Britain.


New Lodger, new trailer, no initial cliffhanger, and less need to illegally download stuff? It's win all around!


Now off to bed again. Typing is too loud and being cheerful is making my teeth hurt.

SO EXCITE.
I'd heard about James Corden, but I didn't know we had a date for the premiere yet. TIME TO START COUNTING THE DAYS.

Not really related to the post - yet to figure out how things work round these parts - but just watched the end of series 4 for the first time in aaaaaaaaaaages and MARK IS GOING TO BE KEYSMASHING LIKE A MADMAN.

And I'd forgotten how sad it is when Donna leaves. All the tears!

Not to hijack the post (APRIL 23rd!!!!), but flamingpie and kaybee42, did you guys happen to finish "The War Games" yet? What did you think?

OT from the main point of this post, but whatever. So I'm rewatching Turn Left now, and I want something clarified just to make sure I remember right.

The whole thing about the universe bending around Donna and her being so special is because she becomes DoctorDonna, right?

I read about James Corden coming back the other day, OMG YAY! I can't even begin to work out what he'll be doing or why the character's back but YAY!

That's one thing that bugs me about the BBC, how late they announce when shows are going to air. The current series of Being Human was only announced something like a week or two before it was due to begin.

My turn to be OT (well vaguely): I'm trying to decide between rewatching the 2009 specials (I've worked out I'm going to be busy with coursework the week Mark gets to them so I kind of want to get through them now) or getting through some more Classic Who (I'm making myself watch them in order so I'm only at "The Daleks").
Re watching Silence in the Library right now. River is much more likable in it once you've seen series 5, isn't she? the annoying smugness and over familiarity is much more... appropriate... to me now.

WHY ARE THE NEW EPISODES AT THE TIME OF MY EXAMS?!?!

*sadness forever*

I suspected we'd get to see 'The Lodger' guys again, and I'll be looking forward to it, since they had brilliant chemistry. As for a shorter cliff hanger- well, we'll see.
GARETH ROBERTS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH PLEASE TAKE OVER FOR MOFFAT WHEN HE LEAVES WHICH HOPEFULLY WONT BE FOR A WHILE BUT STILL.

...ahem. I like how out of all that information, all that stands out to me is the Gareth Roberts mention in the article.

Man, I should refresh the main page more often! Here I'm hanging out in the meme post, going "...this is quiet". HELLO EVERYONE HOW IS YOUR SATURDAY. Mine has been productive and full of Big Finish Audios.

I am excite about the new trailer and the possibility of BBCA airing them same day! If only they would promise to air it completely whole in cases where the episode runs longer than 42 minutes, I would be even less tempted to use other methods for watching.

I actually think Craig coming back is a bit weird, even though I enjoyed the hell out of The Lodger. I don't see much reason for the character to return, although if the Doctor is going to be stranded in present day for some reason Craig did let him keep the key to his flat...

Finally, I have a reason to look forward to Easter (other then for those yummy cadburry eags). I just discovered we actually get BBA in my house so I can actually watch it! YES.
