> [@Baron\_Greenback](#): > > Just a wee warning: There are some extraordinarily spoilery publicity photos out there on some of the usual sites. Usually these are just the ones released for the upcoming episode, intended to whet the appetite. Unfortunately, this time someone has broken the press embargo for the _final_ episode, and these aren’t supposed to be seen until after this week’s one. I wish I hadn’t seen them. Be aware! Any chance of a link to those spoilers? Or at least a clue as to which sites to look at please. ---

It’s about time the various bad guys pooled their efforts to stop The Doctor. They should have thought of that 30 years ago. 😉 I’m curious to see how the Doctor survives this one. ---

I gave in and registered a few weeks ago, but somehow the notion of having to be logged in merely to read threads grates on me. Of course it’s their message board, so they can set the rules. ---

Of course it’s their message board, so they can set the rules. I think it’s to keep the bandwidth bills and server costs down to a reasonable level - it’s just (and so was Outpost Gallifrey before it) a very large fan-run site after all. The glory of the thing is: the live filming reports! People reporting that the BBC are filming in \ and intrepid forum members setting off to report “OMG I’ve just seen Alex Kingston in Tesco!” “There’s a UNIT sign on the A5675 going towards LLanffgollyn!”. It’s surprisingly addictive\*. - it IS. Humour me here ---

Well, Gallifreybase uses the same message board as the Dope. So we should feel at home. Interesting to see the minor differences in how the two boards are setup. They allow embedded images and the dope doesn’t. \ that’s always up to the mods > [@TWDuke](#): > > I gave in and registered a few weeks ago, but somehow the notion of having to be logged in merely to read threads grates on me.

I was hoping for a few extras spoilers, although it’s probably better that I don’t have any as it’s about 2 hours until it airs now. ---

There is something considerably _not right_. How did all those races get time travel? I know the Daleks had it, but what of the rest of them? This seems to be a bit Dream Lord-ish to me. ---
