Bugger.
I told myself that I wasn't going to get too involved in all the spoilery speculation about Doctor Who this year. Last year there was all the stuff about Jacket!Doctor, the identity of the baddie, who - really - is River? - and countless other threads which, while fun, also made my head ache.
There are also spoilers in comments.
Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed taking part in all those discussions and then starting some of my own, but it did get pretty time-consuming and I told myself that while I wouldn't shun spoilers entirely, I wouldn't actively seek them out. (Not that I was really seeking them out before, but they do become rather impossible to avoid!)
But today, the Beeb issued a new, one minute trailer - here at the DW site - and my resolve is cracking! Because - bloody hell.
Now I just hope that S6/6.5 lives up to the hype. And I'm also feeling more aggrieved than I have been over the fact that the series is being split into two :(
My favourite bit: the exchange with the off-screen baddie.
Baddie: Fear me. I've killed hundreds of Time Lords.
The Doctor: Fear me. I've killed all of them.
And - THE OLD TARDIS!!! (or something that looks very like it!)
On another subject - I believe normal userpic service will be resumed as soon as possible :(
