It is nigh on two weeks before Christmas, which means it’s nigh on two weeks until the Doctor Who Christmas special airs on BBC America at 9/8c, and we say our goodbyes to Matt Smith and our hellos to Peter Capaldi. “The Time of the Doctor” is going to be an emotional time, but it’s also going to be an exciting and possibly scary one, with the poster released last week showing us not one but five species of villains (Daleks, Cybermen, Weeping Angels, and Silence, with Sontaran battle ships flying overhead). They have just released a very intriguing bevy of pictures from the special, which include wooden Cybermen, some kind of Christmassy people, a puppet show featuring the Doctor and a Monoid (from the First Doctor story “The Ark”), and Daleks, Silence, and Angels on the apparent warpath. Oh heavens, what will become of our beloved Time Lord? Well, he’ll die, obviously, if only to become someone else. It’s kind of his thing.
What do you think of all this? Pretty exciting, isn’t it? If you had to be killed by one of the Doctor’s enemies, who would it be and why? Nothing to spread the holiday cheer like talking about death, eh?
Can’t wait for the new doctor and sure hope i win the giveaway
I see what ya did there. Fantastic.
But why isn’t there anything pictured in images 3, 4 and 13?
1 more reason to love Doctor Who: if it wasn’t for Doctor Who, I would never have discovered The Nerdist Podcast.
I like that they are utilizing more of the effects to show the TARDIS interior through the door from the outside. It really makes it feel like a real temporal ship.
Obviously a Dalek, if only for the fact that it would be super awesome to have the last thing I see in this world be the flashing lightbulbs and the last thing I hear be the classic droning of “Exterminate!”
Weeping Angels: Because you don’t really die, you’re just forced to one-way time travel. Of the recent enemies, it seems the most preferable way to go.
Whatever was in room 11
