(Ok, I don't know how much more plainly I can put it... obviously, we're dealing with new Who stuff that isn't out yet, so please don't read any further if you want to remain completely in the dark... OK? OK...)
MASSIVE SPOILER WARNINGS!!! MASSIVE SPOILER WARNINGS!!! MASSIVE SPOILER WARNINGS!!! MASSIVE SPOILER WARNINGS!!!MASSIVE SPOILER WARNINGS!!! MASSIVE SPOILER WARNINGS!!! MASSIVE SPOILER WARNINGS!!! MASSIVE SPOILER WARNINGS!!! MASSIVE SPOILER WARNINGS!!! MASSIVE SPOILER WARNINGS!!!
(And yes, it's true that I usually don't even do spoiler warnings, because after all, this is a site that regularly deals with previews and rumors and such, but I figured this one time...)
Ok, so there's gonna be a lot of news coming out of Comic-Con this weekend, but some of the biggest, at least for us Whovians, is the official release of another trailer for the upcoming (presumably Thanksgiving-time) special The Waters of Mars and an unofficial (meaning it's from somebody's camera phone) release of a trailer for theChristmas/New Years special which is apparently going to be called The End of Times...
First up, The Waters of Mars trailer:
And here's the End of Times Trailer... as mentioned above, this is taken with someones cellphone camera, so obviously the quality is not that good, it's a bit dark, etc, but it's enough that you can pretty well tell what's going on... I will, of course, keep looking for a better quality version...
(BTW, The person doing the voiceover is Timothy Dalton, and his first, rather hard to hear line is "It is said that in the final days of planet Earth, everyone had bad dreams")...
Here's what the BBC officially said about the trailer:
If anyone wants to remain in the dark about the two specials which form the Tenth Doctor's finale, please look away now! Footage from the first of these episodes was screened during the Doctor Who panel at Comic-Con International, 2009, meaning details about the adventure are officially out there!
As we revealed earlier today, the episodes feature the return of John Simm as the Master. The Doctor's fellow Time Lord is sporting a different hair colour in the finale, working a striking, lighter look.
And the Master isn't the only familiar figure returning from Doctor Who's recent past. Executive Producer Russell T Davies, who wrote David Tennant's final episodes, confirmed that Alexandra Moen is back as Lucy Saxon, the character we previously saw in The Sound of Drums and The Last of the Time Lords. Although married to the Master she put a serious dent in their relationship by shooting him but what happened to her after the events of Series Three has remained a mystery, so far...
Russell further explained that footage from the finale screened at Comic-Con included the voice of Timothy Dalton as the Narrator. His exact role in the specials is currently undisclosed but Dalton is, of course, best known for portraying James Bond in The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill.
One of the biggest cheers of the Doctor Who panel occurred when the trailer showed the face of Catherine Tate, last seen playing Donna Noble in Journey's End. Bernard Cribbins, who played her grandfather, Wilf, also features in the trailer which depicts a grim-faced Doctor walking purposefully away from a wall of leaping flames... but towards what, or whom..?
Oh, and in other Who news from the ComicCon, there was no confirmation of the rumored Dr. Who movie... (though there was no actual denial either)... David Tennant said he had NOT (as had also been rumored) been contacted to star as Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming adaptation of The Hobbit but, he did confirm that he would be appearing in two episodes of the upcoming season of the Sarah Jane Adventures as the Doctor in a storyline called "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith"...
