Help! Dying of Spoilers!

Do any of you guys read Doctor Who Spoilers? ( post text should be spoiler-free, but cut for double-extra safety )

If it is what I think it is, I think Moffat is trolling everyone. There were a bunch of fake scenes written and extra scenes filmed. So don't worry about it.

ladymercury_10 May 30 2011, 20:33:30 UTC

That's what I'm hoping, and it makes me feel better that you think it's a fake.

Ugh I am trying so hard to avoid spoilers on who River really is, because I generally love to spoil myself and I kind of want to be surprised about this. But at the same time, if it's something that's going to make me angry, I'd rather know now so I can get over it by the time the episode airs.

I'm sorry, this comment is basically me floundering on whether to click the link or not. To make it slightly less pointless, I love your icon!

ladymercury_10 May 30 2011, 20:38:35 UTC

Haha, no worries. I totally understand.

And thanks! It's by sarah531.

Adoring your icon choice.

Yeah, I think I'm with owlsie. I didn't read the whole page, but something about that seems almost laughably bad or like a sudden, strange, trippy alternate universe scene.

ladymercury_10 May 30 2011, 20:36:06 UTC

Thanks!

Yeah, it seems like a big letdown, which is why I'm hoping you guys are right.

owlsie May 30 2011, 20:42:42 UTC

Yeah. Remember Moffat is the guy that hid the endings from everyone except team TARDIS, made them shred the scripts, made the directors film stuff they didn't understand, etc. For River's identity to get out THAT easily just seems silly.

ladymercury_10 May 30 2011, 22:41:32 UTC

That's true...but wasn't he complaining on Twitter a while back about someone leaking an important spoiler?

I've regretted checking that site so many times. Still, I can't really stop. :/

Anyway, I don't particularly trust an episode that apparently also has pterodactyls, Churchill, and Romans in a modern day environment.

If it's true, though -- unexpected twist is unexpected!

ladymercury_10 May 30 2011, 22:43:24 UTC

It seems too simple to me, rather than too unexpected. Man, though, I hope there are pterodactyls. Prehistoric creatures are super cool!

honeynoir May 31 2011, 16:54:21 UTC

I suppose what I mean is that I didn't expect it from the show. (It kind of reminds me of the type of fic I wrote when I was 13, tbh. *g*)

The pterodactyls can stay, yes. Also the Romans.

ladymercury_10 May 31 2011, 23:56:38 UTC

Ah, yes. Agreed on all counts, pterodactyls, Romans, and 7th grade fanfic. :D

I skimmed that spoiler a while back and am hoping it's not true. But if it is, I'm hoping Moff does something interesting with it. It's been my speculation for a while that River is some kind of weapon that brings about the Doctor's great fall; given what we've seen in the trailer and the previews that seems to ken with what is being suggested about the little girl. If it's the case, we'll see what Moff does with it. But things may not be as they seem.

Also wondering about the pterodactyls and other strange things... makes me wonder if it's not (a) a hallucination inside someone's head or (b) a bubble universe of some kind that is brought about by juuuuust a little too much time meddling from the Doctor.

ladymercury_10 May 31 2011, 02:40:13 UTC

Yeah, definitely strange things are afoot one way or another. I just wish we didn't have to wait so long to find out!
