History

Isn't someone going to update this? It's been out for a few hours and I'm dying to know what happened — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.70.36.238 (talk) 21:29, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]


I understand why you deleted the history pages containing the spoilers, but still that's going a bit too far. I came to this page to read the spoiler.--121.222.197.242 (talk) 09:48, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Go somewhere else to read them. Most people will not want to know. Wikipedia contains spoilers but not for programmes that haven't been broadcast yet. –anemoneprojectors– 16:29, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stop being a dickhead and just leave the spoilers alone. Wikipedia arsehole. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eggman17 (talk • contribs) 20:02, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. Nice. Amazing really that someone would sign up to post things like that on Wikipedia. 94.171.243.212 (talk) 00:24, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

However Wikipedia does post spoilers of direct-to-video movies that haven't been released in certain countries but have been released in others, I think this would fall under that account.--121.222.197.242 (talk) 06:28, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The leak of the video is a hoax

I know someone in America who would have received a copy, if it were real. They did not, therefore, this is only a rumour. NorthernThunder (talk) 06:23, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe they were about to be shipped to them, as well as others, but then they realized it features an episode that hasn't been aired anywhere yet so they quickly stopped.--121.222.197.242 (talk) 06:28, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but your personal friend in America alone isn't a sufficient source to support that claim. If you are able to find a reliable source that gives more weight and evidence to that claim, then perhaps it can be Wikipedia-worthy. Every claim, including those in the "significant minority," needs a reliable source. And besides, for now, most (if not all) current sources point to the production error being true. GabeIglesia (talk) 11:05, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Someone left a response but it was so nasty that I have removed it and blocked the IP. But yes, a reliable source is required. The fact that something hasn't happened that someone might expect to happen doesn't mean anything. Realiable sources state that there was a leak. –anemoneprojectors– 10:50, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Only 210 blu-rays were shipped early. 87.244.72.208 (talk) 00:05, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Um... no

" The Doctor realises this is an incarnation he has yet to be and response for the war on Trenzalore, and accuses him of being rash and not acting in the name of the Doctor, and then escapes with Clara. The figure (John Hurt) turns to look at them, as the screen credits identify him as "The Doctor"."

This is not true, he is previous incarnation, not one who he "has yet to be". Also we don't know what terrible act he did (though it's probably the Time War, not the battle related to Trenzalore) Otherwise how the hell would he know what this incarnation did if it was one he hadn't experienced? Someone please edit this nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.7.31.254 (talk • contribs)

It's clear that it is a future incarnation - Clara never saw him (despite living all of the Doctor's lives to that point), and the Doctor knows that he was responsible for the war that would also be where he dies. It has to be post-11th. (whether that's 12th, Valeyard, or what, we can't say for sure). --MASEM (t) 01:39, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Also consider the Doctor has spoiled himself on his own timeline - he knows he dies at Trenzalore and that there was a great war there, despite having never been there before. He knows that war was not done in his own name but for another reason. --MASEM (t) 01:41, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's fair to say that this is "clear." It's anything but. What's written on the page now is an interpretation, but we don't yet know if it's an accurate one. Better to recount what actually happens or is said in the episode rather than impose one's own interpretation on events. 68.35.21.38 (talk) 01:49, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is NOTHING in the episode that clarifies whether Hurt is from the past or the future. My money is on past but for now it should be left ambiguous, stating he is a future incarnation is just OR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TR-BT (talk • contribs) 01:53, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I could have sworn I heard "future" (or somehting like that) but a few review sites purposely leave it open, and thus I've changed it to "another incarnation". --MASEM (t) 01:54, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I concur. There was an editing conflict and I left it in from the other version. Should have known better. Also, possibly unrelated, but please don't edit the page to make tenses grammatically incorrect. Kthnx. Citizen-13 (talk) 02:06, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that, it was a rushed and poor translation. However, there was also a line of pure speculation about the ending in the previous versions.--Sid-Vicious (talk) 02:15, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Continuity error

In the continuity section it states that the shots of the first two Doctors are colourized, this is incorrect only the first doctor footage is colourized, the 2nd Doctor footage is, like the third Doctor shots, taken from "The Five Doctors" and was originally in colour, small point but still.81.111.126.82 (talk) 03:04, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
