DWM 422 Spoilers for 5x10-5x13
The issue is out tomorrow but subscribers already have it and some spoilers have been leaked on GallifreyBase
- Vincent and the Doctor starts with a trip to an art gallery, where the Doctor notices something strange in one of Van Gogh's paintings.
- The episode deals with themes of mental illness and depression; it "goes to some places Doctor Who has never been before".
- In The Lodger, the Doctor actually has a discussion with Amy about passing as a human being; interesting, seeing as we thought that they were accidentally separated.
- The Lodger had working titles of Something at the Top of the Stairs, and Don't Go Up the Stairs.
- The Pandorica Opens features a Van Gogh painting ferried across thousands of years, with a message to the Doctor.
- The Roman troops are visited by Cleopatra.
- Stongehenge covers the Pandorica, a legendary prison-box.
- "As it slowly unlocks, terrible forces gather in the heavens above..."
- The episode 12 cliffhanger isn't just the cliffhanger for that episode, it's like the cliffhanger for the entire plot of the series; it's "where the wheels come off".
Steven Moffat has also stated that he's scribing the Christmas special and that it features BOTH Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in it.
