About River in TNotD...

From a GB poster who has seen the pre credits sequence for The Name of the Doctor. It contains footage of Docs 1 - 7:

Moffat doesn't care about the past, rawr rawr rawr

So was the previous finale synopsis that was leaked entirely true? This certainly fits with the idea that Clara ends up scattered across his timeline by the episode events (presuming the pre-credit sequence is essentially a teaser and the rest of the episode is us finding out HOW Clara got there).

I wonder if including Clara in the scene will actually create the missing reason for why he decided to hang from the umbrella...

I hope this all turns out to be true; it would make for such a good episode IMO if it does

(And r.e. Dragonfire, I hope so too. That cliffhanger is just embarrassing )

oh, i'm a bit disappointed by that

wowoowo this finale souds like the mother of all finales (my favourtie is TPO/TBB at the moment....this sounds like a rollercoaster ride!)

Why can't Clara be a normal companion for once?

Does that sound too whiney?

'Cause they're boring?

Quote from John Hurt that Blogtor Who posted:

Blogtor could be in Moffat's bad books for a while given that'll probably be the big shocker of the 50th, or even the S7 Finale ruined...

Why?

John Hurt is the one giving away plot points to the Press.

Leaving aside the fact that we don't live in a world where Moffat gets a say in what websites post (Gallifrey Base excluded) it was John Hurt who went blabbing to the Press, presumably breaking the NDA that would have been part of his contract.

Of course. But Moffat is known for hating Who blogs for posting the really big stuff. He was furious one ruined his big River spoiler in S6. He was also pretty livid someone ruined the other S6 spoiler involving the Doctor and his 'death'. I'd imagine both the newspaper Blogtor quoted and Blogtor won't be popular for spreading Hurt's stuff to the wider public.

I'm on Blogtor's side, it's a fantastic little site that gives plenty warning to a spoiler post. But Moffat never plays fair.

Aww, poor Moffat having to put up with people doing his job for him of making people excited for his show.

Indeed.

One does feel sometimes that the only person allowed to blow Steven Moffat's trumpet is Steven Moffat.

I'm kinda ugh by this and I feel jipped, but glad I read it Here so I'm not disappointed when I watch it

Really?

I still think he comes across with a great deal of humility and genuine respect for the show and lacks the self-delight that made Confidential an unbearable watch for me during Russell's time in charge.

Neither comes close to truly justifying the adjectives they use in advance of a story but the hype is part of the showrunner's job, and Moff gets closer to living up to it in my book

Really the only person that can be classed as at fault is John Hurt, I doubt the paper or Blogtor will get any issues just for sharing it.

It makes it sound like the people who posted 'spoilers' before aren't QUITE right then but there's a grain of truth in what they said i.e. he is a version of the Doctor but not the Ninth etc.

Aww diddums, something said by John Hurt and highlighted by BlogtorWho, suddenly becomes another excuse to make snide remarks about the cause of ALL the world's troubles. Seriously, when Moffat does use hyperbole to build excitement for the show, he gets bashed. Now they bash him for....well, nothing really. :sleep:

Its interesting to now see all the anti Moffatt posts now appearing. I remember when he took over, people suddenly started posting anti RTD posts and praising Moffatt to the heavens. My how times have changed.

They appeared right after 'The Beast Below'
