So far it does not seem to be available at any alternative locations.

From the episode "Nightmare in Silver". I thought it was pretty impressive and the best of this season.

The Doctor doesn't save the day. Someone else does without his help.

Dislike:
The damn tween girl. I give the actress credit for nailing snarky, entitled, and annoying

I thought it was a callback to earlier in the episode and letting us in fact that he really does like Clara, as in has the hots for her?

I haven't seen last night's episode yet, but so far this season has been terrible. I liked "Hide", the haunted house episode, and "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" wasn't bad. "The Crimson Horror", though, Jesus Christ. That was a disaster.

I am looking forward to next week's season finale, though. Unspoiled so far...

I'd say that about sums it up. Plus I dislike how these kids were shoehorned in at the last minute.

Kind of wish I hadnt watched the preview since I'm speculating on some things.

Is that a joke, or did you screw up the tag?

Doctor Cosmo Kramer? Or Doctor Cosmo Who? Or The Assman?

His last name is "Hoo".

It's "Hugh." We've mis-pronounced it for 50 years.

Has anyone actually seen spoilers on the last episode from a reliable source? Or is the whole "blu-rays released early" thing just a publicity stunt? The only thing I've seen reported is the identity of John Hurt's character, which wasn't exactly earth-shattering.

I even checked the revision histories of the Who pages on Wikipedia and I couldn't find any trace of the reported hack. There was a bit edited out of the episode synopsis, but even if it's true I don't see it lasting beyond the anniversary special.

Spoiler:
David Tennant takes back the role from Matt Smith.

A lot of these "spoilers" are just rehashed spoilers from older rumors. Some are probably true. Some definitely are not. So far, only one person has reported to have gotten his pre-order early (and he isn't spoiling more than needs to be spoiled). The rest haven't received them yet. Once they do, we'll start seeing more focused spoilers.

It would be appropriate if the Doctor's real name was either William (first actor who played him) or Sydney (man responsible for creating the character), but I'm surprised they're bothering with it at all. After 50 years, most of us don't WANT to know. It's more fun never knowing.

Why do you think they're actually going to reveal it? The prequel has Clara stating she knows his real name, but that doesn't mean they're going to tell us it.

Thinking the same thing, it has been a secret for so long that it will just be a name is told so it is not that important to know it. Still curious, I doubt they are really going to tell us.

His real name is Black Bolt and if he ever utters it aloud his voice will shatter reality.

10am.

Prime time is still for all those wonderful British movies like Hook and Tron.

Doctor Who fans and Star Wars fans clash. Shit's gettin' real!


BBC:


Police were called to a science fiction convention after an argument between two rival groups of fans.

Trouble flared at the fourth Norwich Sci-Fi and Film Convention at the University of East Anglia, organised by Norwich Star Wars Club.

Police were called after members of the rival Norwich Sci-Fi club arrived to get autographs from two Doctor Who actors at the event on Sunday.

Norfolk Police confirmed officers attended and spoke to both parties.

A spokesman said they had been called to reports of a man being assaulted at the convention.

The Mirror


It kicked off when angry organiser Richard Walker, of the Norwich Star Wars club, saw Jim Poole, 44, of rival Norwich Sci Fi Club filming the family event with two fellow Time Lord fans, one dressed as David Tennant.

Mr Walker, 63, said: “The person on the door had not not recognised them. I put my hand on Mr Poole’s arm to escort him off the premises and he said I had assaulted him.”

More than a dozen people then became involved in a bitter row at the University of East Anglia, where 1,000 sci-fi fans had gathered, many dressed as Stormtroopers.

Police arrived and put one Who fan in a car before calming things down. They decided there was no assault.

Telegraph


Mr Walker said the visiting club had been trying to undermine and embarrass the convention by posting comments on social media sites such as Facebook.

But Mr Poole said he had attended “in good faith” to collect autographs from two actors for a Doctor Who signature diary to be auctioned for charity.

Both sides said there had been a long-running rivalry between the two groups and the events they organise.

OK, first I was like, "Why did a Star Wars club invite two Doctor Who actors to their convention?" Then I noticed that it was a general-purpose Sci-Fi convention, just run by a Star Wars club. Then I wondered, "why is a Star Wars club running a general-purpose sci-fi convention instead of a Star Wars specific one, especially when their city already has a general sci-fi club?"

Anyway, the dispute appears to have been between two rival sci-fi clubs, and not Star Wars vs. Doctor Who, since the Star Wars club appears to have a lot of Doctor Who fans in it, what with inviting the actors to come to their convention and all.

After all the hype and speculation, it feels strange to be so excited about this episode, considering I've been underwhelmed by every episode of 7b.

I'm assuming it leaked?
