I'm posting this now as we have a lot of information on the finale now, and I think it's time to put it all together.

Episode 11 is not confirmed to be part of the finale, but it has Rose's return so it will count for me.

Episode 12 ... yeah ... awesome.

Episode 13, final episode, of course it's in the finale razz

Episode 11
Attending a carnival on the "Chino-planet of Shan Shen" exposes the Doctor and Donna to flags, pagodas and local colour. But when cajoled to have her fortune read for free, Donna's past is carefully examined - for a specific single event. Meanwhile, something creeps towards Donna's back.

With Donna's world collapsing around her, this time the Doctor cannot help -- only a woman thought lost in a parallel world can. The Darkness is coming as Rose Tyler and Donna team up before it is too late.


Episode 12
4.12: The Stolen Earth

Earth's greatest heroes assemble in a time of dire need, in tonight's penultimate episode in this series of Russell T Davies's Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama. But can the Doctor's secret army defeat the might of the new Dalek Empire?

With battles on the streets and in the skies, the Doctor and Donna must brave the Shadow Proclamation to find out the truth. However, a fearsome old enemy waits in the shadows...

David Tennant plays the Doctor and Catherine Tate plays his companion, Donna Noble.


Episode 13
4.13: Journey's End

The entire universe is in danger as the Daleks activate their masterplan, in the concluding episode of Russell T Davies's Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama.

The Doctor is helpless, and even the Tardis faces destruction. The only hope lies with the Doctor's secret army of companions – but as they join forces to battle Davros himself, the prophecy declares that one of them will die.

David Tennant plays the Doctor and Catherine Tate plays his companion, Donna Noble.


So, from those, we have the following ends being tied up;

"There is something on your back"
"she is returning"
"The stars are going out"/Missing Planets
The Darkness, it's coming.

"Earth's Greatest Heroes" are presumeably Jack, Rose, Martha and Sarah ... and Astrid ... they've all saved the earth at least once ... Donna however ... Well, the "something on your back" and "Something creeping towards Donna's back" basically mean The Spiders are back ... from Planet of the Spiders who control people by riding on their back and turning invisible! OOH! Evil Rose explained maybe!

Deciding whether when the time comes to split this up in to individual episode discussions, or keeping it together ...

I've been counting it as a three part finale as well because of Rose's return. It does seem to make more sense like that (except for the fact it's weird the Doctor's hardly in that one. Mind you, the last episode last year had hardly any of him in as well.)

It's just occurred to me I'm missing next weeks episode and the final episode crying At next week it's because I'm going to Disney, and on the Sunday I'm out all day too. The final episode might not be so bad, I'll just find a way to sneak a TV backstage.

That would be a good explanation to Evil Rose (I hope it's that. I don't want her to actually be evil. She could be a Sontaran clone instead, but then it would be an overload of big baddies in the finale.)

Yeah, The Shadow Proclamation (which I always assumed was like a galactic set of laws, rather than a group of people), Davros (and the accompanying Daleks), possibly evil-rose, Spider things.

I thought it was a set of rules too, that seemed to make more sense.

I was disappointed to find out the title for episode 12 was "The Stolen Earth." I thought they were keeping it secret because it gave away the storyline. That doesn't seem to give anything away except for the fact someone's trying to take over the planet. Isn't that what happens every week?

I think they wanted to keep it a secret until ... y'know ... everyone connected the dots between a few episodes. Planets/stars are going and people realise that's an important thing so the title isn't a secret anymore. PLUS they had to release the name I think. They have to do the press release for an episode I Think.

I can't wait for this finale, the last episode is in the first weekend of July, about 2 weeks before my 16th.

I've only just realised and found out a few things.

1: I saw the trailer for next weeks episode and it said that the Doctor is DEAD! (Probably not likely... xp ) Also, Rose's message with Donna saying that she is going to DIE!
I'm really shocked! eek

2: I've only just realised that i'm not here to watch next weeks episode, i'm at a suprise party that starts at 7pm. cry
This means that i'll have to wait till Sunday and stay away from the forums till i see the episode. xd sweatdrop

3: I've just found out this recent spoiler,

Noel Clarke A.K.A. Mickey Smith is making an apperance sometime in the next 3 episodes, yet no idea which episode it is though.

I think mickey returning was kinda obvious, he's one of the "Heroes" Plus it's been known for a while now I think.

THe Doctor isn't dead. He'd have regenerated. He's incapacitated. Like when he regenerated in to 10/Tennant, he was out of commission for a bit. I'm guessing mysterious time illness.

Donna isn't going to die, she has a great history ahead of her (lulz, that sounds stupid) River Song knows of her so she must be important. SPIDERZ

Meh! It's merely common sense really! xd sweatdrop
We all know that it's all gonna be okay somehow.

I'm soo annoyed that i won't be able to see this weeks episode till Sunday, and if i do see it on Saturday it would only be about 20mins of it.
I've decided not to watch only half of it, i'd rather wait to watch it as a whole episode, then write my reaction. gonk
This means i'm not here on Saturday. sad I'll just have to wait.

Oh well, atlest it get to party instead! rofl xd sweatdrop

Ok, Today's Sun (I think it was The Sun) had a large picture of Davros and of a new, shiny RED DALEK (apparantly a battle Dalek) in it. Davros is slightly wrinklier than before, but keeps true to his normal look. I must say, I hope his mouth movements are similar to how he used to be.

OOOH! SHINEY RED BATTLE DALEK!! blaugh xd sweatdrop

I don't have alot to say about Davros because i didn't watch Doctor Who when i was young, i was born after the disapperance of the classic series. sweatdrop
PostPosted: Tue Jun 17, 2008 12:28 pm


Same (roughly) but I bought a few (Genesis of the Daleks, the first appearence of Davros) So I know what to expect biggrin I'd recommend The Davros Collection, a collection of DVDs on Amazon that include all of his stories. I haven't bought it but it should be good.

Hmmm, that's a good idea. I may try and ge them eventually. xd sweatdrop

However, i can't wait for this weeks episode, even though i have to wait till Sunday to watch it fully. sad sweatdrop

I think I've seen Davros before when I was made to watch Doctor Who as a kid (that didn't scare me at all ninja ) (As a side note, I'd like to say I find it a bit weird that I used to hate Doctor Who, and now I spend half the year counting down the days and the rest of the year really excited.)

I have to wait to Sunday too crying Stupid Disney trip.
