Fiona, what did the BBC spoil and not spoil for this episode because I've managed to avoid the spoilers!
P-C, the trailer
gave the whole Cyberman stuff away, but managed to keep the Daleks secret, more or less (for the exceptionally eagle-eyed there was a Dalek-style zapping, but it was blink-and-you-miss-it). The return of Mikey was a complete surprise, and beautifully done. An improvement after last year, where they gave all the Dalek stuff away in advance and ruined the reveal.
The BBC have been
completely open about the fact that Billie is leaving, and in fact they're playing on it with all the "the last story I'll ever tell" stuff - but I think it's a red herring, she'll live but the Doctor will leave her behind
.
Fiona, I watch the trailers, so I knew about the
Cybermen.
But
OMG DALEKS!
I almost feel
manipulated because they KNOW everyone loves Daleks so all they have to do is bring back Daleks and everyone will be happy. How often have they shown up in the past? I mean, they pulled OMG DALEKS out at the end of the penultimate episode last season, too!!
Also, since I watched all of the first series after it had aired, I missed all the spoilers (except for the one about Christopher Eccleston leaving), so that was good.
Stupid BBC! I had always thought I'd heard that
Billie Piper had signed for a third season, but I guess I was wrong. I think your interpretation of how it will end is likely.
Sigh
I can't wait til we get to see that season.
Assuming we do.
In more cheerful news: BSG Season 2, volume 2 is ready for pre-order!
I was holding out in hopes of a full season 2 set rather than getting it in two halves -- any word (or any rumors) on whether they're planning any such thing?
If there was word early on -- I've forgotten it.
Whoa. That was rocking Who.
t kicks Sci-Fi channel scheduling lack of news.
I'm just glad that S2E12 (or S28E12) wasn't on SciFi, where they would've run a spoiler ten minutes before the end of the ep that revealed the end of the ep. They've done that before?!? Look... a mansquito!!!
That was some crazy awesome Who. It was so full of suspense! Half the time I had my hands over my eyes, it was so tense. And boy, they sure can figure out ways to bring the Daleks back, can't they? I think it was particularly clever to have a couple random Daleks just outside space and time, waiting. Brilliant.
