News: Doctor Who Cliffhanger Classic

Posted: 28 Jun 2008 09:53 AM CDT

The internet and the World Wide Web has gone into meltdown this evening following the shock cliffhanger to The Stolen Earth, the penultimate Doctor Who episode this series. With spoilers at every turn, we would warn our regular readers to take very special care of what they read, and whenever they see the phrase "left click and drag your mouse" that they don't do this. Oh I see that you did. Expecting a spoiler are we? Do you really think we would do that? OK - you're right, we...

Before Anything Else...

Posted: 28 Jun 2008 09:23 AM CDT

Come back tomorrow for the full version.

Right, I've got it. The Doctor is going to regenerate into someone completely different, either a well-known celebrity (if they want to make it look legit) or someone we already know from the series (if they want to go for comedy value, so Mickey Smith is a very real possibility). Then he's going to die. However, his DNA / Time Lord essence / biodata will somehow be transferred to a human host in the past, and it'll turn out that Donna has been a carrier of Doctorishness all the time. She's called "Noble" because she's a Time Lord, hence the second heart we can almost hear beating in her chest, the ludicrous coincidences, and all that jism about her "sacrifice". In other words, she's going to regenerate back into the Doctor we know, thus qualifying her as his most faithful companion.

And then, and then, and then the Dark-Matter Cybermen are going to turn up with the Zombie Adric and wake up all the Silurians, and... oh, Auntie Em, it was such a strange dream.

'Stolen Earth' Talkback

Posted: 28 Jun 2008 09:03 AM CDT


No doubt the mind-blowing penultimate episode of Season 4 has caused quite a stir amongst Doctor Who and Sarah Jane fans alike. If you need to vent your thoughts, feel free to use the comments! Remember to catch the season finale, Journey's End, next Saturday at 6.40pm! But if you can't wait that long, here's a preview clip that was on Blue Peter a few days ago. Journey's End, which runs at a staggering 65 MINUTES, will have another preview trailer on BBC One tomorrow before 1pm. It'll be up on the Doctor Who website shortly after.
