Television Doctor Who

Nothing "official" yet, no. But there is an unofficial picture of Capaldi on set in what appears to be his new getup. No guarantees though.

Spoiler: ooh, fancy

There are also a bunch of official pictures from the set of the first two episodes which feature The Patternoster Gang -- Jenny, Vastra and Strax! Those are here.

 

Yep, that's a scarf.

And @Roxam when did they do promotional images for him? I only saw that pic pop up yesterday so I really don't know.

 

The cardigan outfit has been around for ages, it was photoshopped next to pictures of the TARDIS before he was even confirmed as the Doctor :3

Spoiler

The picture Cat put up (I love what he's wearing and I think it would be so cool : D) is just his normal clothes from some screening of something, it has nothing to do with Doctor Who sadly.

I think we shall find out in roughly 6 weeks at the latest. The first story is a two parter based in Victorian England so he may get his clothes at the end of episode 1 or 2 and if it takes 3 weeks to film 1 episode then I guess it'll be about 6 weeks but that is just my guess, we may get it sooner : D

Also, it was confirmed that series 9 would also have no split! :3 Which is good news even if we haven't got past series 8 yet.

 

I know everyone's excited for Capaldi and series 8, (heck, I'm over the moon about that kidneys opening ;____; )

but a quick question though:

Spoiler

I've been hearing some Whovians complain that The Time of the Doctor rewrote Trenzalore's fate as a battlefield graveyard the way we saw it in The Name of the Doctor. Did you guys interpret it this way too, or do you think the Doctor just isn't quite done with Trenzalore yet?

 

Spoiler

So you mean like, perhaps Twelve (or some future cycle 2 Doctor) will return to Trenzalore to witness the war?

 

Spoiler

Moffat treated Trenzalore the same way he treated the name, I think; some of its relevance was revealed but not all of it, the most important bits managed to slip away. I wouldn't mind Trenzalore being left untouched for quite a while, that is, if it truly is where the Doctor dies. It would probably be an arc for the very last Doctor, perhaps slowly reintroduced to the show as this actual end draws near?

 

Spoiler

Honestly, I'm not sure what to think of Trenzalore. It was called "the Fall of the Eleventh", meaning Eleventh Doctor died there (what was supposed to happen), but then Clara spoke to the Time Lords through the crack and they gave him regeneration energy and he became the Twelfth (what happened). Not only did they change a fixed point in time, they changed a point in the Doctor's personal past and future (when he went to Trenzalore in Name and when he was supposed to die there in Time).

I think it was Clara. When she jumped into the Doctor's time stream, all she did for all those lifetimes was change his time stream, fixing that the Great Intelligence changed. Then she kept ending up in Christmas despite the Doctor's repeated attempts to send her home. Finally, she was the one who convinced the Time Lords to send over the energy. Maybe she's just doing what she's always been doing: saving the Doctor. Because the timeline was for his entire life, birth in Gallifrey to death in Trenzalore. When she was speaking to the Time Lords, she was still within the Doctor's time stream because he hadn't died yet.

I don't know.

 

Spoiler

Yep. Prophecy fulfilled, Eleven fell, but no dead Tardis or time stream. I'd say that's probably yet to come?

 

Tumblr's theory on the Trenzalor thing is that

Spoiler

the whole thing is working under a Grandfather Paradox. Like the Year That Never Was back in Ten's era, or Amy's two childhoods. Basically, the thing did happen, but then something happened that changed the timeline, so technically it never happened after all, and they're moving on from the point where the timeline changed, which basically leaves a split timeline where the thing did or didn't happen. In the current timeline, it didn't happen. But it did, because they remembered it.

this is a really bad explanation. just go look it up I guess. Or better yet, go read Homestuck, there's a lot of timey-wimey sh*t going on there too.

 

I love the doctor however david tennat is still my favourate doctor ever and I like the Cybermen of today because they actually seem to lack emotion compared to back then that and they touch you, you die. Favourate villains are the Daleks of course
