God, it's gonna be awesome. I read some critics and it seems this is one of the best episode of the show.

[sartorialists]

23: The Thing - something about the "RESPECT THE THING" the Doctor was going on about in Flesh and Stone?

[eclecticmuse]

Nah, The Thing they're talking about is a scary-as-fuck movie from the late 70s/early 80s where people are stuck down at some base in Antartica and shit starts possessing people and it's gory and scary and AAGGGH DNW.

[ayuette]

Yikes... I hate that kind of movie. And if that's the case then I'm with you. DNW! D:<

I was browsing Peter Mckinstry's concept art for series 5, and I found this piece: link for possible spoileryness
It doesn't say from which episode it is, so I'm assuming it's from episode 12 or 13 (unless it's something that's just never going to be used). AND NOW I WANNA KNOW WHAT IT IS.
Anyone got any ideas?

[eclecticmuse]

Yeah, IDEK WHAT THE FUCK THAT IS. I saw it and was all *headtilt wat*. Did you see the book cover for 'The Legend of Pandora's Box'? I don't even know if it's still up there (he might have taken it down) but I think I saved it to my hard drive.

I thiiiink someone on GB said that they were supposed to be the Doctor's favorite childhood books that he mentioned or picked up or something in Amy's Choice--I think--but who knows.

[omfgitsjo]

Nooooo, what is 'The Legend of Pandora's Box' even? D:

Ahhh, that would kind of make sense, I guess... Too bad they didn't show it, it's so pretty!

[manatees]

The idea of the Doctor having favourite childhood books is...weird. The Doctor as a child is a weird enough concept!

[weavercat]

I don't even think I can comprehend the sheer madness of what I hope (and hope not) will happen.

My head has melted with the sheer thought of how epic it's going to be. HODAYUM. We're in for a epic mind-fuck roller-coaster of a finale.

Um, I have nothing to add but: Yessssss. Liz10. <333 River, impersonating Cleo to get into the Roman-camp (at least I hope she does) sounds fantastic. <3 Stonehenge: Freaking STONEHENGE! <33333

Um... I think I've gone and worn out my squee. ;_; Too much squee.

And Moff? Please be kind or at least show our minds a little mercy please. ;_;

And Moff? Please be kind or at least show our minds a little mercy please. ;_;

Somehow - I doubt that's gonna happen... *bits nails nervously*

[promethia_tenk]

NO! NO MERCY!!! C'MON MOFFAT! GIVE ME ALL YOU GOT!!!

[psychadelia]

HE'S GOING TO KILL US !

22. The Doctor and Amy face a foe reminiscent of fembots.
(Wut. Unless they mean the Autons ...)

Nah, it's totally the Drahvins.

[eclecticmuse]

Oh, sweet, thanks.

I didn't know they'd actually show the Drahvins onscreen! That's kickass. I don't expect to see every alien race River ticks off, but this s neat.

[biichan]

Well, I don't know if they're gonna for sure--I do not have lots of spoilers like you--but that was my immediate thought upon reading the word "fembot."

[eclecticmuse]

Well, I know a ton of races get namechecked though we don't see them--but some people on GB seem reasonably confident that we will actually see the Drahvins. And that they'll be "sexed up".
