The First Trailer For This Years "DW: Xmas Special"

I totally forgot to blog about this teaser trailer of this years "Doctor Who: Christmas Special" shown on "Children In Need 2012" last Friday, the 16th. Fans, as usual, during "Children In Need" where treated to a teaser trailer for "Doctor Who: The Snowmen", which is this years title for the Christmas Special.
The trailer is a bit cheesy because the villains are Snowmen, but it's just awesome to see The Doctor back in action since his last emotional appearance when Amy and Rory left. It's also awesome to see the new companion, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman to be in action too.
It's interesting to see the three above characters returning to the show. I wonder how they got there and just happen to meet up with The Doctor and his new companion? Anyway, like I said, the episode looks cheesy, but brilliant and I'm just happy to see it back on TV, so check out the new trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3KVpvEUTns

"Doctor Who: Asylum Of The Daleks" Review (SPOILERS)

Now I know I'm a bit late with this review but fuck it I'm doing it anyway and as River Song says, "SPOILERS" in this review, so if you haven't yet seen this episode........DON'T BE FUCKING STUPID AND READ THIS REVIEW!!!
The opening episode to the 7th series of "Doctor Who", which by the way has a new type of font for the actors names and a brand spanking new logo too,
saw The Doctor reunited with his faithful companion, Amy Pond, and her Roman soldier of a husband, Rory Williams. During the episode, Amy and Rory are finalising their divorce from each other, but like everything, The Doctor saves that from happening.
To be quite frank about the both of them, they were quite boring in this episode. It was more about The Doctor, the Daleks and the surprise appearence of new companion, Jenna-Louise Coleman, who is under the name of Oswin Oswald in this episode, but is said to be called Clara from the Xmas episode on-wards (which was meant to be her original first appearence on the show). So now she's said to be called Clara Oswin.
Anyway, the episode opens with The Doctor being summened to the old planet of Skaro, which is the Daleks home planet, to help a girl who turns out to be a human Dalek that's actually lured The Doctor to the planet to meet with the Dalek high council or as it's know in the show as The Parliment Of The Daleks. On that planet, he's reunited with Amy and Rory, who were kidnapped from present-day Earth by two other human Daleks.
The Daleks reveal that they want help from him. They want him to travel down to their Dalek prisoned planet, known as the Asylum. A planet known for keeping the most dangerous and deranged Daleks safe from the rest of the universe. Down there is where a distress call from a young girl, Oswin, has came from. Oswin had crash landed onto the planet and destroyed it's force field which could mean that the Daleks down there could come out and destroy anything in their way. This is why The Doctor must "save the Daleks" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMKZYnkFwmw) and save the girl from the insane and dangerous ones and fix the force field.
So The Doctor, Amy and Rory travel down and try and save Oswin and fix the force field. Obviously as usual on "Doctor Who", nothing's that simple in each show of each series. The Daleks come back to life and reak havoc on the team of three. During all of this, Oswin is helping, as she has full control of the computers all around The Doctor. She's making sure he gets to her on time to save her before things get even more dangerous. I tell you, when we first saw who Oswin was, I literally was like "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!" Jenna-Louise Coleman was absolutely outstanding as the new companion, if this is her for sure. She's completely different from Amy Pond. I don't think I can sit back and compare the both, because they're both totally different personalities. All I'm saying is that she will do so well on the show.
The other thing is that the previous crew on-board Oswin's ship, the Alaska, have became human Daleks, because they haven't got the bracelit that Oswin, The Doctor, Amy and Rory have, which stops them from contracting the nanogene cloud which will turn them into human Daleks. Amy looses her and slowly begins to change.
Finally after all of this is over and The Doctor finally gets to Oswin, this is where the tears start to run down your face. It sadly turns out that Oswin is just the human memory of a Dalek, who is chained up in a room and who can see all that's going on on the planet or The Asylum Of The Daleks. It's quite sad really. The Doctor tried so hard, but it turns out his future companion could possibly already be a fully functional Dalek.
Now on one yet knows if The Doctor will, when he physically meets her face-2-face, go back and save her in time before she becomes a full on Dalek. Maybe this is Clara Owsin from the future. It could be a whole River Song type story. We meet Clara Oswin at the end of her life and then meet her fully again at the start. All I know is that when she returns at Christmas, fans will be ready for her.
On a high note, before saying goodbye to The Doctor and destroying the Asylum, she whipped the minds of every single Daleks that lives in the whole universe. So when The Doctor traveled back to Skaro, the Daleks never had a scooby-doo who he was. The only thing the asked was "Doctor Who?". I take this question must be getting close to being answered. Maybe on the shows 50th anniversery, fans might be treated to a surprise announcement being who The Doctor is actually called.
Overall it was a very action-packed and interesting opener to, what is already said to be a cinematic like series. Jenna-Louise Coleman was superb, Matt Smith was amazing as usual, Amy and Rory need to step it up a bit before they leave for good and the Daleks are back to their old tricks again. The only down side was that there weren't as much classic Daleks as I thought there'd be. I did expect more. The only two that I noticed was an original one from the 60's/70's and the machine-gun type on from the late 80's series with Sylvester McCoy as The 7th Doctor. So that was a wee bit disappointing. Other than that, well done Steven Moffat.
Next weeks episode sees The Doctor meeting up with Amy and Rory and this time Rory's father and heading to Egypt to meet Queen Nefetiti. There, he gets a call saying that a spaceship is getting ready to crash on Earth. On board this ship are Dinosaurs, hence the title "Dinosaurs On A Spaceship". Exciting or what?!

"Doctor Who: 50th Anniversary" Artwork & Rose Tyler Hints!

The BBC have released the first pieces of artwork for the BIG 50th anniversary of long-running British sci-fi drama "Doctor Who". The artwork features all eleven Doctors and some of the shows greatest enemies.
11th Doctor, Matt Smith, hinted about the possibilities of old companion Rose Tyler returning for the shows 50th.
“If I wanted a companion from the past I would say Rose because I am good friends with Billie.” 
  
The return of Rose, played by the great Billie Piper, is still very possible seeing as it's still rumored that David Tennant's 10th Doctor is expected to appear too.

Matt Smith To Continue Protecting The Universe Till 2014!

11th Doctor, Matt Smith, has again assured fans that he won't be leaving the TARDIS anytime soon. Smith was talking to MTV about the next season of the show when he confirmed that he was staying for one more series, which would take him well into 2014. This is what he said,

“It hasn’t been written yet but the idea is as brilliant and as mental as you’d expect from Steven. So there’s a lot to look forward to. "
“When Steven was going to pitch the next season to me not long ago, he said, ‘Are you ready to cry?’”

This means that Smith will have done 4 full seasons of the long-running British sci-fi series. It's a few eps shorter than previous Doctor, David Tennant, but we'll see how Smith feels after 2014. He might get a "goodbye series" too, insisting of 4/5 specials throughout the year of 2015.

New Companions Name Revealed?

Now I know it's been like nearly two weeks since I lasted posted on my blog. I literally couldn't be bothered do anything on my blog, but now I'm back and there's been hundreds of news since I've been off.......SO HERE WE GO!!!
New companion, Jenna-Louise Coleman was on her first day of shooting the other day and a fan who took this on-set pic above thought he heard The Doctor calling her name. That name was Clara.
Could this be Coleman's on-screen name as the latest companion to join Matt Smith's Doctor? It's been said by some fans that it is and that's it a tribute to late Sarah-Jane herself, Elizabeth Sladen. Sarah-Jane's middle name was Clara.

UPDATE: Jenna-Louise Coleman's character is indeed called Clara.
