definitely. It'd be cool if the writers started introducing a moral dilemma here and there, with the Doctor making seemingly random choices between them - like, one time he'll act for the good of the many, but other times he'll save the life of someone in front of him despite it perhaps meaning bad dudes kill off a lot of people at a different date. like, if he knows for a fact other people will start a war because he stops the death of someone, but he acts to keep them alive regardless, or whatever
what I'd ultimately want to happen is that the doctor starts doing things that appear to come from a completely alien set of morals and logic that we as humans just can't understand - not good or evil, just completely alien - although that would be pretty flipping difficult for a human writer to write :v:

But wouldn't this mean we've already started this process with the eleventh doctor in Dino's on a spaceship, the part with Soloman?
Good ol' Timeboy returned to GB recently. His description of 12, well..

Funnily enough they seem to be focusing on episodes 1-3 & the the series arc :v: [sp]Though someone mentioned that Doctor/Clara "tell each other what they think"[/sp] in Episode 4. Don't know what they meant, maybe you do. Some people have taken the [sp]Tucker[/sp] comparison the wrong way - that character had a caring side we didn't often see, and acted for the right reasons in the wrong way. [sp]They have made it clear he's not unlikable or uncaring - though progresses as the series goes forward[/sp]
I like how despite how many black bars have been on my posts since January - I still don't have a bloody clue what's going on in Series 8. Bravo, team. Don't ship the DVDs early.
Maybe I can see where they're coming from then.
[sp]'tell each other what they think' means nothing to me, no idea where they got that from. It's either a small scene I'm forgetting or a lie. Could easily be the former.
EDIT: Then again it is pretty vague. Tell each other what they think about what? The situation? Each other? I mean they tell each other what they're thinking EVERY episode so I mean it could just be someone being vague to be able to pretend to give spoilers.[/sp]

That's also the thing about series 8 'spoilers'. Most of them have been so vague it's hard to tell how much the spoiler hounds actually know and how much they're just guessing.
With all these black bars I could be forgiven for thinking I'm reading an SCP forum, especially with all the talk about █████████████████████████████████████████████

I don't think Name of the Doctor successfully leaked though, did it? I don't recall people downloading it from anywhere. Regardless of numbers, I think a screening is less likely to cause problems. There will be plot details on the Internet as ever, but you will probably have to want to find them. I know if I get to go to Cardiff, I have no desire to post an overview of the episode. Though there may be much allcaps about Capaldi :v:
[sp]Something to determine whether there is any validity - does anybody awaken elsewhere in 4/9?[/sp]
If I do get a ticket, The Time of the Black Bars will be over.
[sp]Don't think so.[/sp]
The Name of the Doctor ending got out but you really had to look for it I believe.
Final, final test Freeze :v:
[sp]Ep4 (maybe?) Danny's timey-wimey descendant?[/sp]

See, it would have been the final, final but now I read that [sp]they're back at a location from Day of The Doctor. But I can't think what apart from Coal Hill[/sp]
Screw everything. Come what may, I'm terribly excited. August is STILL too far away!

I went on GB and read what that guy is saying. Some of it is accurate and some of it is just wrong.
Must... not click.... spoilers...

Careful Freeze, he might click on the one that reveals Danny Pink to be The Doctor's father. If there are any more black bars from me until August 23rd, I'm open for banning.

I know this is just a harmless joke but take care over misusing spoiler tags - as some older members will remember they were once taken away altogether for quite a long time after the abuse at that time got too tiresome to be bothered with.
Ever feel down?

Yes we've posted it before. Never stops being funny as hell.
The bit about the coma. It's great. A guy I worked with once recorded radio adverts with Tom Baker and said he was an absolute nightmare to work with and ruined his childhood forever. But I think he lacked a sense of humour, this sort of behaviour is gold. Unless you wrote the script.
I didn't even know that somebody took that list and ran with it :v:

There's some actors on that list which quite frankly would've been incredible Doctors. Harrison Ford would've been a great War Doctor. But I'm a bit of a Ford fanboy anyway.
I hope an actors nationality never stops a great actor being cast. This is proof actors from other countries could very easily take the role and do wonders. Gene Wilder for example!

[QUOTE=ZLightnin';45292777]Sounds like Davros.[/QUOTE]
I really don't get why people keep saying this. I don't think it sounds like Davros at all. It sounds more like Dalek Caan to me.

the first bit sounds like davros then it becomes clear it's just another "super special emperor prime minister whatever!!!" dalek
The way the voice is acted (with the inflictions) it's clearly a Dalek not Davros. But from a slightly different perspective.
Since November there's been a rumour of an early episode where [sp]The Doctor and co are shrunk and go inside a Dalek. It's possible the Dalek voice we hear is how it sounds from the inside, then the "HATRED" is how it sounds from the outside.[/sp]
that's... interesting
Apparently the scripts for series 8 have been leaked.
