Behind The Scenes Pics And Quotes

Okay this pic is from the trailer, but it shows The Doctor at "The Moment" we first heard mentioned in "The End of Time" and I included it because of an interesting behind the scenes pic that came out....

So first it looks like the moment is a plunger to be pressed, most likely creating the time bubble? Secondly, it looks as if the three of them press it. Consider a couple of quotes from the episode:

The Eleventh Doctor, "You were The Doctor on the day it wasn't possible to get it right."

The Tenth Doctor, "What we do today, we do not out of fear or hatred, but because there is no other way."

This picture pleases me because it all but confirms the interaction we will see between them all.

These next few are from the trailer and pretty awesome:

50th Title Revealed, Christmas Filming & The Doctor Speaks

The BBC have finally announced the title AND length of the 50th special. "The Day of The Doctor" is what it's called. As I said before, I feel it's a stretch for them to call the 75 minutes "feature length." But a 75 minute episode sounds awesome! I'm sure it will be epic, how could they slack off at this point? Jenna Coleman has called it game changing, or something similar. Come on, it's a multi-Doctor story, so it's already ahead of the game.

John Hurt wad some nice things to say about his experience filming the 50th. In an interview with The Guardian, he said, "Of course you have to remember that the Doctors are all one person, so I'm not outside of that. I can't talk about it but I will say I was really impressed when I did it. Both the previous Doctors - Matt Smith and David Tennant - Whoa-whee! They are so quick, and there's a huge amount of learning and no time to learn it in. All that fake scientific nonsense. Terribly difficult to learn." He amusingly went on to mention how he had thought the fans would be loonies, but actually finds them charming.  Just about 73 days left. Man I thought that number would never get under 100. I am just hoping there is going to be some announcement soon about more live screenings of it in theaters other than the one in Leeds they already mentioned.

FILMING HAS BEGUN FOR CHRISTMAS

And as you can see, Matt Smith's final episode will have him sporting a wig. Albeit a good looking wig from the pictures. These are some of the pictures that have come in that I liked. Please go to the Twitter page at the links provided to see many more of their pictures.

New News Is No News

There's a whole lot of nothing to report. Speculation about the next Doctor goes on, with Rory Kinnear in the forefront today. I don't think I know him. It doesn't look like he's been in anything I've seen, yet. We are going through the Bond movies now, and I know he was in Quantum and Skyfall. Bottom line, I have no opinion on him. We'll see if I have one on whose name pops up tomorrow. I honestly don't know why people report rumors from some sources, sources that are particularly known for not getting it right. So I am going to stay out of that mix until something more reliable comes along.


Until then I have decided I am going to review a couple of books I got for my Kindle. One is, 'Angel's Kiss', by Melody Malone from "The Angels Take Manhattan". The other one is the one that Artie was reading in "The Bells of Saint John", called 'Summer Falls', by Amelia Williams. It won't be a spoilery review, like the episodes are. Actually, I might've just lied. I just haven't decided yet. I've never reviewed a book before. I also just started reading the 'Prisoner of Time' comic book series they have been releasing this year. That got me to thinking. These comic books are numbered, 1 of 12, 2 of 12, 3 of 12, and so on. Each is of one Doctor starting with the first. So in December will there be a 12th Doctor comic book? Same goes with the short novels they have been releasing each month, which I may also review.

Over on the classic side I'm reviewing 1986's "The Trial of a Timelord" which was the entire season 23. So that's what's coming up so far. Hopefully we will hear by the time they start filming Christmas next month who Who will be and all this madness can stop.

More Pics From The Name Of The Doctor

They just released a crap-load of new pictures from the finale. Who knows what to make of some of them until Saturday, but i for one can hardly wait.

Sad news and 50th Filming Pics

It made me sad to read today that David Tenannt is the only previous Doctor returning for the 50th. This was , or is in Doctor Who Magazine. I've read interviews with Steven Moffat where he talks about the 50th being about going forward, as opposed to looking back. But no recognition to any of them? Of course now that I really think about it it would be hard to explain Tom Bakers age, but he's so brilliant. Just to see him play the part again. And then I bet it's hard to insert completely different ideas into an ongoing story line, but it's a special. Oh well, what are we going to do?

As sad as I was to hear that, I was equally as much excited to see these pics from today's filming of the 50th special.

They are going back to where it all began in 1963. Totters Lane was where the TARDIS was parked. Coal Hill school is where The Doctor's granddaughter, Susan, went to school. Her teachers, Ian and Barbara, followed her home and were taken away for the shows first adventures. They literally were taken. The Doctor pretty much hijacked them. But that's not important. What's important is that this may fall right in with my theory of Clara being connected with Susan. Is it her? That would change the course of Who, as Moffat said, having his granddaughter back. Will The Doctor find a fob watch among her things? Or is it just a way of paying homage to where it all started? The Doctor has been back there. O the top of my head in "Attack of the Cybermen", and "Remembrance of the Daleks", the first being the one where The Doctor fixes the chameleon circuit and we see the TARDIS change her disguise.

Some other people spotted something that could also be interesting, if it isn't just a case of recycling a prop, which is not an alien concept to them. The seat that Oswin sat in as she talked to  The Doctor in "Asylum of the Daleks" is the same seat that Jenny sat in as she flew away in "The Doctor's Daughter", and I've already mentioned that Russel was going to kill her and Steven asked him to save her. 

Hopefully we will learn more, but surely filming must end soon. At any rate, by the finale we will know who Clara is. And now to bed, because...

10hours 17minutes 45seconds until "The Crimson Horror"
