So there are Doctor Who spoilers everywhere at the moment - twitter, tumblr, Doctor Who Magazine covers, media articles, interviews with Moffat, etc etc. And that's not including all the additional spoilers that will presumably start surfacing after the press screening last night. So if you're trying to go into the new series completely unspoiled, I salute you, but I warn you you're going to have a hard time. I'd also like to apologise again for thoughtlessly spoiling a few people through @replies on Twitter yesterday, and will in general be keeping this off my own twitter from now on.

OKAY EVERYONE. I will admit that I, too, freaked out when first reading Moffat's pronouncement of 'ONE OF THEM IS MARKED FOR DEATH IN THE FIRST EPISODE' or whatever, but we're clearly being trolled here. This is Doctor Who, nothing is ever that simple.

And, more to the point, there are set pictures of all four of them filming other episodes. None of them are bowing out at the beginning of the series and not coming back! Eleven, Amy and Rory are all together in the pirates episode and Neil Gaiman's episode, as demonstrated by clips shown at cons, set pictures, interviews with Gaiman, etc etc etc. I'm a little less clear on where what's come out with River fits into the timeline, but I highly doubt she's going anywhere.

Whether things are going to end happily for all four of them by the end of the series in the autumn is, of course, another question, but for now I recommend keeping calm and carrying on! Moffat is a lying liar who lies and also enjoys winding us up. I don't believe a word of it.

MARKED FOR DEATH LOL. I hope somebody *is* marked for death, because that means SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO KILL THEM, which is always exciting. Not, you know, that somebody succeeds. PRECISE LANGUAGE, PEOPLE. <33333333

Ugh, it needs to be Easter time NOW. I need the Doctor Who adorableness in my life! All of it! At least we get the show on BBCA the same time y'all get it over there. \o/

(But that does mean I'm going to spend all of my spring weekend evenings glued to the TV. Thursday through Sunday, every week, WHAT.)

Well, there's been a few other quotes too that are more along the lines of 'NO REALLY, SOMEONE'S GOING TO DIE', but I still totally call bullshit.

And yes, I am v glad it's airing State-side at the same time, that is great! SOON IT WILL BE TIME FOR DOCTORS AND PONDS, YAY.

Hee, yeah, I've seen those, but - well, every one of those characters has already died at least once, sometimes twice, and, like, a dozen times in the Doctor's case. And, because apparently many people have already forgotten, the whole arc of the previous series was about the entire universe dying, but it wasn't permanent.

So it is entirely possible that somebody really dies! I can't wait to see what they do. :D
