More like The Time to Get Some New Title Ideas, am I right?
Quite why we had to have an almost identical name to the 50th Anniversary Special and the Season 7 finale, I'll never know. Besides that bit of old news, it looks like they're slapping a bunch of big enemies together again in a Too Many Monsters extravaganza.
Why Angels? I'm so sick of them. They are totally played out as a monster. I had hoped after The Angels Take Manhattan we'd seen the last of them. That was pretty stupid, I suppose. And trotting The Silence out again? What's the point of that? They should have been done and dusted after The Wedding of River Song. Teasers have shown references to Trenzalor as well, another plot point that should have been left alone after it was resolved in The Name of the Doctor.
I'm trying not to draw too many conclusions from this poster and the few teasers, but I fear we're going to get a bit of a cluster-you-know-what here, and my expectations are currently rather low. The best scenario I can imagine sees most of these monsters appearing in some kind of nightmare dream sequence of The Doctor's.
In the end, I'm just hoping the few seconds of Peter Capaldi as The Doctor make it all worthwhile.
Um... because Name, Day & Time are a thematic trilogy.
ReplyDeleteI'd agree, Paul, if Day was in any way related to Name other than one quick reference to Trenzalor ;)
DeleteOf course, perhaps Time will draw it all together, so we'll have to wait and see there.
Even so, I find the continued pushing of the Epic Overarching Storyline™ over self-contained stories to be slightly tedious.
