Good job /who/.
>>70567373
When does filming start?
>>70568555
Don't know. Don't particularly care. Nice trips btw.
I can't wait to see Pearl Mackie's dingleberries sticking to Capaldi's face as he pisses for joy!
>>70569257
This is what I too am hoping for from series ten.

Come on, the ending with he proud Third Doctor risking his own life, knowing he'll probably die, ut still facing the evil spider thing, and realizing that his own greed caused this, is good.
How long have you been on /who/? I think I came here between series 5 and 6, I have very distinct memories of coming here right after the "tick tock goes the clock" nursery rhyme to check exactly what the words were because my dad asked me
>>70569778
Indeed she was. I warmed to Satah very fast though
>>70569840
I've been here since right before Series 8. I came here right around the /who/ leak era.

>>70569996
there are lots of other enjoyable bits in that 6-episode-arc.
Haven't seen the "reminder that new Faction Paradox" guy in a few threads so I thought I'd fill in for him
>>70569840
I came here between Nightmare in Silver and Name of the Doctor. At the time there were various reports that some fans got their season 7 dvds with the unaired season finale earlier than expected and I figured if there was one place to get leaks from it would be 4chan.
needless to say I was heavily disapponited
>>70570296
It's one episode that keeps the regeneration seeming mysterious.

It's interesting how Cornell dosn't like goig outside the era's "limitations" as it were. Perhaps it's because I came from NuWho and encountered the classic Docs through the novels first, but I've never thought one should be restricted by the era.

I'm a newbie by other anon standards. Came on 4chan during series 8 looking for spoilers as to the identity of Missy (altho I'd suspected she was a female Master, and looking back it seems so obvious now).
>>70571756
Darnit gif doesn't work.
>>70571756
Yeah I thought Missy being the Master was pretty much a given lmao. The big surprise reveal in Death In Heaven was more for the Doctor than the audience, I felt. And casuals I suppose.
>>70571756
>>70572265
Yeah, we all hoped she was someone else but deep down we all knew it would be the Master.
>>70572312
I didn't really know what to think and didn't care much.
>>70572265
>Missy being the Master was pretty much a >given lmao
Hold up. That's some serious revisionism--you know how many people thought she was the Rani? Maybe you thought she was the Master, but not everyone did.
>>70572368
I'm not the anon you're replying to but Missy being the Master is what most of the fans I interact with were expecting.
>>70572368
Nobody knows who the Rani is man she's never coming back
>>70572368
>you know how many people thought she was the Rani?
They were meming. Like I said, we all wanted it to not be the most predictable option so we would throw around every female Time Lord ever in the show as possibilities. But Moffat is a hack (not that the Rani would have actually been a good idea) so we got the Master.
>>70572265
I liked how they did a red herring at the start of the finale, casually introducing Missy as just an android who worked for the death-institute. The actual master-introduction later caught me quite by surprise.
She's not the Master. The real Master will be revealed in Moffat's final series. Watch it happen.
>>70572827
>being this much in denial
Female Master happened m8, nothing will ever change that.
It's okay. Missy still has a penis.
>>70572994
Is it afemininepenis?
>>70572994
The irony is its probably more impressive than those wielded by her male incarnations.
>>70572958
I don't care that it's happened, it's just something Moffat would do because he'd think it's clever.
He'll say something along the lines of "it was never actually proven she was the master. She just said she was"

Why are the Pertwee gurning gifs called 'Yes'?
>>70573905
I don't remember why I called them that
"Murder and How to Get Away With It" is a S10 title according to a forum spoilerhound
Tfw according to the responses to my question, I'm like the biggest old boi here
>>70573993
Thanks, I'm glad it's not, like, taking pleasure in the Doctor's torture, or misreading Pertwee's expressions as orgasmic.
>>70574048
Oh great.
>>70574110
The common theme amongst them is they all look like he's/the cyberman is on/doing drugs I guess
>>70573993

>>70574163
Some time between series 5 and 6. Tripfaggotry is actually a lot better now than it was back then, although there was a terrible bout of it recently. I was actually one of the worst trips and I would intentionally rile people up with random off topic bullshit, but I've grown up since then.
There was a lot of rumours and discussion about the show, the S6 arc, River's identity, even Rory's identity with the "Rory is the Rani" meme.
Pehaps my favourite /who/ meme of all was the one about Paul McGann being depressed he was never canon and never asked back for the show, and making his own 50th minisode in his basement before becoming suicidal with his catchphrase "why live".
This image was, at the time and in context, the single funniest thing I have ever seen on 4chan
There were semi-regular streams of classic serials that I'd watch and fall asleep to after I came home from school. I miss those. They were incredibly comfy.
>>70574244
According to Katy, everyone who wasn't Jon Pertwee was having non-stop sex and drug parties on set during 3's era.
>>70572827
It's something to wish for but it would be futile to do so.
>>70574352
Poor Jon
>>70574420
Jon intentionally abstained. He was married, after all.
>>70574310
>my favourite /who/ meme of all was the one about Paul McGann being depressed he was never canon and never asked back for the show, and making his own 50th minisode in his basement
Yes, basement McGann was best meme. And it had the best death when Night of the Doctor came out.
Speaking of Pertwee, why is he so salty nowadays? He hasn't done an interview for years and never goes to conventions. Sad they couldn't get him for the Fiveish Doctors. He's a funny guy
>>70574462
Reasonable then.
>>70574503
Be fair, isn't he ancient now?
>>70574503
>>70574532
He died in 1996 buy you already know that you memeing twats.

Fuck off John Simm. You were a shit Master.
>>70574624
He's not dead. It was a hoax that the BBC admitted to draw attention/an audience to the TV movie in 1996.
And don't call me a twat, please. Young children use this forum and they don't need to see that sort of language.
Katy Manning is in this by the way
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AJlf6mm3NE

"In Campbell's film, a writer, a producer and a director are hired by seedy erotic film producer Benny U. Murdoch (Roy Kinnear) to make a dirty movie based on the poem. However they run into difficulty when each of the production's backers want a completely different style of film made. Then Murdoch makes off with the money, and the three have to produce four different versions of the movie to keep everybody happy - a gay Western, a hardcore porno, a family version and a Kung Fu-style production."
>>70572827
reminds of the pre series 9 rumor where the master would be transformed into a woman by the sisterhood of karn as punishment
>“Russell T Davies had a specific idea of what he wanted him to be like. So I just had to do exactly what he wanted me to, and he wanted a giggling lunatic” Simm told the Cheltenham audience, “I started annoying myself after a while”.
Will John Simm do Big Finish and redeem himself?

I liked John Simm's Master. It was the right approach for that point.

Please Moffat make it happen, but with a coherent plot.
Stolen Earth was shit, plz no
>>70569840
I got here between Time of the Doctor and the S8 premiere. I wanted somwhere to hang and get into audios/books/other less mainstream stuff with people who were as passionate about the show as I was. I've been here ever since, although I usually only lurk during live threads. /who/ becomes a black hole of hate and disappointment during live threads.
I also came here because I thought (and still think) /who/ is the funniest and most memetastic of all the Doctor Who communites on the web.
>>70575210
He had some good moments in S3 but End Of Time was just too much. They cranked everything up about him x10000 and added a few extra bits on top to boot. They should have went the opposite direction.
>>70575414
Would have been GOAT if written by Moffat and with Moffat's companions.
>>70575301
It's not happening m8.
and it will end like this:
All Moffat era characters gather in a circle around 12 who is lying dying on the floor. They all hold hands and perform a rendition of The Long Song which gradually becomes more and more jazzy as 12 begins to regenerate.
As the regeneration energy rises, the characters stop holding hands, and raise their hands in the air.
They perform jazz hands, which summons the jazz hands Doctor.
>>70575475
No one asked you anything though.
>>70575475
Anon, is it really not happening?
>>70575487
.... played by Milo Yiannopoulos.
>>70575507
BACK THE FUCK OFF???? I said its not happening.
But guys, we all know the final Moffat story is a weeping angel story called 'The Angels Take the Universe'
We really need new alien world's like Akhaten though
>>70575432
Live Threads are cancer.
Did you stay for the leaks?
>>70575432
/who/ s'alright
>>70575159
I dunno, Rassilon in Hell Bent felt very clumsily written, as if Moffat had no interest in including him but did so anyway out of a sense of obligation. And then he got rid of him as soon as he could.
I think he might return when Chibnall takes over but I doubt we'll see him next season while moffat's still in charge.
>The Asparah Cup is the most famous cup in the galaxy, but only the fastest ship can win it and Bill convinces the Doctor to have fun. However, during the race, Bill finds out there's a contestant that just won't play by the rules.

How can people find Rassilon interesting?

ethical dilemmas ruined Doctor Who
>>70576014
Funny post anon. But Beast Below was lame.
I just found this in a youtube comment section:
The Ninth Doctor was very vengeful. The Tenth Doctor was very vane. The Eleventh doctor was very impatient. There ending's signify them overcoming their personality flaws. The Ninth Doctor refusing to kill as his final act, The Tenth sacrificing himself to save an old friend, and The Eleventh spending several centuries protecting a peaceful farming town.
Following this pattern what flaw do you guys think the 12th will overcome? Will it be his compassion like Darvos said?
>>70576047
I think they're great. There hasn't been a dilemma since Fires of Pompeii though.
>>70576056
Oh I completely forgot about that. But he'd have to kill it because it's dangerous not to put it out of its misery.
>>70576067
No, I think Darvos was wrang. I think what will overcome him will be finally developing a consistent characterization. He'll do it, then go 'ooh!', clutch himself, and expire.
>>70576067
Yes. He'll kill the last member of some alien race, refusing compassion.
>>70576128
What?
>>70576047
I agree. Peter Harness is a total hack. Forcing his political agenda.
>>70576067
The other three are genuine faults, compassion isn't, so no.
>>70576129
but surely that will prove Davros right. it would be a bit of a bummer of an ending
>>70576192
Compassion has been the driving point of every single Doctor. He won't overcome that.
"compassion. It will kill you in the end"
He'll end up saving someone he doesn't like, resulting in him regenerating
>>70576169
It was a joke about how Capaldi's Doctor has no consistent characterization because they bottled it.
>>70576289
>Capaldi's Doctor has no consistent characterization
Why doesn't he have a consistent characterization?
>>70576288
Poetry would want it to be Rassilon.
>>70575930
Tbh honest, had some doubts till Listen, liked him after that ep, but s9 blew me away. Best Doctor since Tom Baker.
>>70576439
Best Doctor since Matt Smith.
>>70576381
Because they bottled it. Series 8 wrote a cheque series 9 doesn't cash, instead we get guitar dad.
>>70576456
>Series 8 wrote a cheque series 9 doesn't cash
Never heard that expression before but I like it. I like you.
>>70576456
12's character developed throughout Series 8, it leads into Series 9. You wanting him to stay the same as early S8 12 doesn't mean the characterisation is inconsistent.
>>70576067
>very vane
>>70576452
I like all the Docs, but 4, 12 and 7 are my faves.
>>70576439
Fair enough. But yes he's the best doctor in awhile. I enjoyed Matt too but Capaldi has really surpassed him desu.
>>70576528
>Never heard that expression before
you gotta read more
>>70576067
>sacrificing himself to save an old friend
I mean, they only met each other like twice. Unless he means old as in elderly. I still get what he's saying though.
>Following this pattern what flaw do you guys think the 12th will overcome? Will it be his compassion like Darvos said?
Davros might be right about compassion being the death of him but by the show's ethics it's not actually a flaw to be overcome. If anything, death by compassion would be fully overcoming the callousness that characterized his Doctor early on.
>>70576406
Nah, it shouldn't be Rassilon. I'd rather it be a random villain of the week, who is an utter scumbag. Someone no one would miss. Someone who the world might be better off without.
But the Twelfth Doctor saves him anyway. Because that's what the Doctor does. It would serve as a deeper contrast to Eleven (remember Solomon from Dinosaurs on a Spsaceship? Neither does Eleven.).
RTD's original idea for Ten's finale was him just protecting a random family. I want something like that.
>tfw the person 12 saves and dies for is Lorna Bucket from A Good Man Goes to War
>>70576572
i watched last christmas and under the lake back to back once. don't see this huge difference some describe. the only time he seems much lighter is when he's acting stupid in magician's apprentice.
>>70576749
Nah that would be a terrible way for the Doctor to go. Just no. Some people just don't deserve to live and 12 knows that, he just played along with Davros and tricked him.
>>70576857
Not even close but I wouldn't let someone like Davros live let alone save him at my own expense.
>>70576934
You aren't the Doctor though.
>The Doctor is dying. He has only one functioning heart left and the second one has 42 minutes left to beat. What does he do? What does the Doctor do when he thinks his time has come? And can Bill save him?
Wouldn't that be a GOAT episode? No trick like "I know I'm not gonna die". This time he has an entire episode to be sure he's dying and has no way out (he has but he doesn't know).
>>70576572
This was a good post.
>>70577026
>No trick like "I know I'm not gonna die". This time he has an entire episode to be sure he's dying and has no way out (he has but he doesn't know).
So same as the last regeneration story?
>>70577063
i accidentally deleted it
>>70576805
I think the main difference is he stopped being so tsundere towards Clara after Dark Water/Death in Heaven.
>>70577065
Time of the Doctor? Yeah, but in 42 real minutes not some 900 years bullshit. What does the Doctor do with his final hour? That'd make a great finale.
>>70577026
No way anything interesting could come of this, just the usual edgy schtick we've had many years to tire of.
>>70572827
Go to bed tardis data core wiki
>>70577118
>but in 42 real minutes
But that's the same gimmick as 42.
How do you want 12 to bow out? What do you want his final story to include?
>>70577124
>just the usual edgy schtick
Wut?
>>70577118
Only if it was the last episode ever. They'll never do a conclusive, final, reboot-requiring last episode of Doctor Who.
>>70577124
Well, no. Because he would have hallucinations of Missy torturing him "Oh how you're going down in the first round, I expected bztter from a Scotman, I can't help you that'd be cheating" as his hearts pain him. This isn't your usual "Oh he's gonna be fine for 42 minutes and then die out of nowhere", no he's dying throughout the entire episode, minute by minute.
>>70577166
That's just because that's the length of a normal episode. 60 minutes would be better for a finale.

>>70577183
The whole 'I'm a badass, fear me' element of NuWho's Doctor. It would just be the Doctor Who version of Crank.
>>70577230
Nah, Bill would fond a way to save him but that'd have dire consequences on the entire universe or something.
>>70577275
So, 42 minutes of the Doctor in extremis? I think that would be a downer ending.
>>70577330
She'd have to intentionally infect him with...
JUNGLE FEVER
>>70576067
>The Tenth Doctor was very vane.
>>70577346
Nah, he'd be saved at the last moment by Bill who has somehow found a way by asking the Time Lords in exchange of their return in the universe or something.
>>70577124
This. The whole "the doctor is about to die!" thing has been done to death in the show, I almost cringed on s9 e1 when we learned that the doctor was "going to die :,(((((((((" again
>>70577404
But this wouldn't be about him finding a way to get out of it, it's be about learning what 12 would do if he died in 60 minutes, not in 1200 years.
>>70577389
So about 39 minutes of Capaldi helpless and gurning like Pertwee while Pearl Mackie is our protagonist?
>>70577474
Something like that, with 12 going around doing what he wants to do just before dying and being tortured by a hallucination of Missy, while Bill is going around the universe with the TARDIS to try and find a way to save him. In the final moments, she saves him but they look up and see in the sky: Gallifrey is back.

>select all images with juice
>>70577686
Haven't seen Bucket List but going by the title yes I suppose. Not like Last of the Time Lords because 12 would actually get shit done and not be a goblin and Missy would just be in his mind.
>>70577664
Oh shit.
They discuss what Jenna took when she left, and when she asked Peter "what are you going to take?" they tried very hard to cover it up and rephrase it.
He's leaving
>>70577860
That doesn't mean anything. That's like asking what are you gonna take from your job at your office when you'll leave? Doesn't say when.

Actually, "That is not the question. The question is--" was enough of a catachphrase, that in the FOTS episode, Clara's use of it was how you knew Clara was becoming like the Doctor.

>>70577860
>>70577960
It doesn't look like that to me. After her answer she asks what he's going to take and he goes, "Where am I going?" which sounds more like he's not thinking about it. Then she clarifies with 'eventually'.
>>70577960

This. I didn't heavily ship them like some people but they had great chemistry on and off screen especially compared to 10/Rose or 11/River which usually felt forced as hell. I'm glad the show didn't go down the romance route though with them.
It's my birthday soon, /who/
What Doctor Who should I ask for?
>>70578248
To be fair, Jenna was going to leave until Peter convinced her not to. So she may have made the decison in between the interview and her contract renewal.

I really hope there's a male companion after Bill because the show is really missing that bro chemistry that was there with Rory, Wilfred and Jack

>implying The Web Planet and Time-Flight are bad
>>70577991
Are you sure that's the same sort of person?
>>70578399
Yeah I think it's better that their relationship could be viewed both ways instead of explicitly stating they were in love or something. Like when they came out with 10/Rose in New Earth and explicitly showed they were in love it just kind of ruined things going forward for me.

He doesn't have catchphrases. He has speech patterns and words he likes, just like every normal person on Earth, but he doesn't have le quirky fun thing to say in a pinch like 9-10-11.

>>70579092
It was a nice surprise when I saw her while watching a Law and Order marathon with my grandma (who loves SVU) and my uncle. When I saw her, I was like "River!" for a second.
No one knew why I was squeeing. And I just decided to get quiet (neither one of them really "get" Doctor Who.)
>>70579204
>>70579204
Oh look it's the crazy mong anon, you know I worry about your mental health sometimes.
>>70579319
His catchphrase is that 'HOH!' noise he makes when stuff occurs to him.
>>70579319
The funny thing is, Nine, and Eleven don't even say their catchphrases that much. How many times did Nine say "Fantastic", anyway?
>>70579335

>>70579298I can just tell. Besisdes you are the only wanker who posts about River that much. I'm not smallfat or otp btw ;^)ps When are you gonna go back to GB and shitpost? The spoiler sections needs it
>>70579371
10 has the most catchphrases.

Fuck off Lucius Petrus Dextrus
>>70578993That's exactly my opinion on Inferno
>>70579325
lol upboated! xD
>>70579371
Nine said it less than Ten said allons-y, but still quite often. Eleven said Geronimo a lot in his first season, then they gradually stopped doing it. IIRC he didn't even say it once in Time, which is telling.
>>70579392I never posted about River on GB, how did you connect the dots? Well you awfully sound like him desu
They banned me because I said the Master would be back in female form but Timeboy said he wasn't back and they listened to him. I'm still there, I have a new account and I sometimes make /who/ references.

I know it sounds like a meme post, but that really happenned. I didn't know her name was "M. Pond", tho.
Also, I didn't know Law and Order had a wiki.
>>70579400
Still not sure why he says "Allonsy" in his speech in Voyage of the Damned.
>>70579325
Ha! I acted the same way. I love River so I was like "Kingston is everywhere!". Plus it was in 2014 so River hadn't been in the show for ages.
>I'm sorry...I'm so sorry

>Well

Twelve is going to have a catchphrase in series 10 according to Capaldi.
>>70579392
Fuck off F. Cogherino
>>70579671
he didn't say that
>>70579528
>Master... I'm sorry...
Why did he say sorry again? Was it just a reflex action by that point?
Capaldi: Twelve's catchphrase is going to be a reference to his '24 inch pythons'.
>>70579671
He already had a catchphrase
It was "Clara"
>>70579619
>>Stop stop it. Really. Just don't.
This was the best one.
>>70579566
Allonsy was just kind of forced around everywhere. At least with fantastic you can flow it into the conversation but they always had to stop for a few seconds with Allonsy and ruin the flow and Tennant never really knew how to say it. He says it like 7 times in Army Of Ghosts.
>>70579499Yeah you did m8. You were always claiming you had inside info and that she was gonna be back in S8. What does smallfat sound like, does he ever post anything besides smallfats & gifs of Moffat fapping?They didn't ban you for talking about the leaks? Yeah I remember Timeboy swearing the Master wasn't back. Sometimes I think they paid him to do that. He hasn't posted much since. Shit, I haven't noticed your new account yet unless you're TimeSaidIt
fuck off time said it. i know you're here.

She's a girl who was stolen from her mother, and raised by a sociopath. At about the age of 4, she's placed into a painful suit that controls her actions, and eventully is killed by the suit.
Then she dies. And comes back to life. From there, she becomes friends with two other people, all the while planning to use them to kill a man she's never met. She's bee n trained since youth to be a killer, and that's what she's gonna do.
Then she finds the man, and kills him. Well, tries to. She utterly fails, but at least she meets her mother and father. Plus, she learns that the man she's been taught is a monster is actually a good man.
For years, she in jail for a crime that she was told was the only thing she could do, what she was supposed to do. True, she has bunches of fun during that imprisonment. .
>>70580548
Yeah that's plot, not depth of character. And still after all that convoluted 'tragic' shit her melodramatic anst centers around "Ah bloo bloo bloo The Doctah doesn't love me!"
>>70580638
What qualifies as depth of character for you? Honestly asking.
>>70578415
>>70578518
>The Monster of Peladon is bad
>>70580638
>"Ah bloo bloo bloo The Doctah doesn't love me!"
It's a little more complex than that. Her problem is more that the Doctor can't love her the way she loves him. There's a difference between "he can't love me"--at least there's a way too change his mind. But her problem isd that she thinks he can't love her, tha he will never love her in the same way she loves him, that he is incapable of loving in the same way that a star can't love--he can only be witnessed upon, and if you tried to get too close, the Doctor would just sweep you asway in just being him. But she stil loves him anyway, and she wishes she could love anyone else.
This is all in the episode, said almost verbatim by River.
(Funny thing is, I think River is sometimes too memey. So this isn't from a "Riverfag", just watching the ep.)

I hate when people say this. The things that happen in the show/universe have a direct effect on a person's character, much like the things that happen in life change who you are
>>70581370
Spare Parts is very good. Once you get over the "dude audio lmao" production and the way everybody acts, Big Finish does some great shit

>>70580707
Not that anon, but: being written in such a way that you can imagine what they'd be like when nothing's happening.
>>70581466
> The things that happen in the show/universe have a direct effect on a person's character, much like the things that happen in life change who you are
No, you're reading those effects in because you'd expect them to be there. In fact, they aren't, which is why River is a shallow character.
>>70580707
It's really not that hard, especially in Doctor Who where no one expects a full on character study. Just some level of complexity, a character that has more than 2 dimensions to their personality, and reacts believably to whatever they experience in their story. River is one of the most shallow characters in the modern show. She can't simply show emotion or motivation, she always has to tell it straightforwardly so you understand she's not stronk female River right now, she's sad River.
>>70581239
She has all this 'muh tragic backstory' for sympathy points yet her big tragedy is supposed to be that the Doctor loves her like she loves him? That's ridiculous. She's never given a shit about her terrible life for some reason, just that the guy she was brainwashed to obsess over and kill doesn't buy her flowers & candy.
We're also constantly told she knows the Doctor so well, that she can run circles around him and he's so predictable to her, all this lip service, yet she clearly doesn't have a clue about him. That speech in THORS only made this worse. All the time she's known him, all the shit in her diary when he was, yet in her episode with 12 she is still has no idea what he's like. Because the plot needed some melodrama and they've run out of ideas with River. He's had companions who understand him better than she does.
>>70581370
It was my first too.
I feel it's a tad overrated, but very good nonetheless.
>>70581239
that's bullshit this and he should know better by now
he can't settle down in a domestic/human way but he obviously is capable of love and everyone he cares about knows this
it also shouldn't be an issue with river since she doesn't even live a normal life and is supposed to be so much like him
she's a pseudo time lord who supposedly loves living for the adventures and danger just like he does but instead she acts like a more shallow teenager than even rose tyler did despite being 200 fucking years old and having so many romances besides the doctor by the time we see her in husbands of river song
>>70582656
*she should know better
If River knew Capaldi's Doctor for 24 years why did she say 'the Doctor can never go to Trenzalore' when she knew he does go and that he survives it?
When Smith's Doctor really thought he was going to die on Trenzalore why didn't he give River the sonic screwdriver she would need to have on her for him to save her in the Library?
>>70583088
Moffat retconed a minisode where 11 gave her the screwdriver and it was supposed to be his last episode
>>70577991
I like the shades. I hope they don't ditch them.
>>70583088
>If River knew Capaldi's Doctor for 24 years why did she say 'the Doctor can never go to Trenzalore' when she knew he does go and that he survives it?
"Wedding of River Song" is one of the last times she met the Doctor. Before, she thought 11 dies at Trenzalore.
>When Smith's Doctor really thought he was going to die on Trenzalore why didn't he give River the sonic screwdriver she would need to have on her for him to save her in the Library?
He never left Trenzalore by that point, so he never got the chance.
>>70582656
I think her issues aren't necessarily "shallow teenager", but I admit that YMMV on that.
>>70583088
>>70583256
On top of this, Matt didn't see River again after Angels. Remember that she was a ghost in Name; it was a little late by then. He wasn't convinced about his death on Trenzaore until he actually went there.
>>70583317
>Wedding of River Song" is one of the last times she met the Doctor. Before, she thought 11 dies at Trenzalore.
No, THoRS is the last time she sees the Doctor before she dies in the Library. 12 comes after 11 and obviously survived Trenzalore. He had 24 years to mention this although she already knows he comes after 11 in THoRS. Also the official timeline says Wedding of River Song is one of the earliest she meets h again after they leave her in the hospital at the end of Let's Kill Hitler.
>He never left Trenzalore by that point, so he never got the chance.
he got his TARDIS back at a point. It's a Time machine. He could have done something as important as giving her the tool he needs to save her and come back before he even left.
>>70583498
> Wedding
Sorry, I meant "Husbands of River Song".
>>70583498
>>70583586
Like this anon says >>70583323 , by the time he went on Trenzalore, he wasn't gonna leave, if it meant risking the planet.
>>70583586
But River is a data ghost in Name of the Doctor when she says he can never go to Ttenzalore. She has met 12 before she died obviously. For her it:s after THoRS. So she is supposed to know he survives Trenzalore and gets a new cycle of regenerations.
>>70583657
But he does leave to take Clara home to safety. He could have gone to take River her screwdriver too and gotten back before any trouble happened without out him. It travels in time.

In that case, maybe she didn't warn him about 12, to keep the timeline straight. 12 probably told her what to say.
Or Moffat just forgot the details and screwed it up.
