Doctor Who "Coming Soon" trailer!

[locker_monster]

Well, goldy_dollar started it. Thoughts on the "Coming Soon" trailer for the second half of the season!

Going through the trailer frame by frame (yes, I'm that much of a geek), it seems like the bulk of the trailer is from the next two episodes "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead". You can tell from the Doctor's suit, blue with a black shirt. Actually, by looking at the Doctor's suit, you can pick out the individual episodes for the most part. But that's not the point of the trailer...


Rose, with a honking space gun! I'm sort of reminded of Mickey with his space gun at the end of "Army of Ghosts".


Though, Mickey wasn't walking away from giant explosions that were going off in the background. Who knows what Rose is up to.


But the super interesting part is the fact that the Doctor knows Rose is coming back. I was expecting they were going to run into each other on the street in the middle of the crisis and have an excited and emotional moment. This scene between the Doctor and Donna feels like it's from the end of an episode. They've found out something is coming, something big and bad, and Rose is chasing after it or something, but Donna takes a moment to reflect on the good. Can't you just see the episode ending on the Doctor's happy smile? I hope he isn't sadly disappointed when he does see Rose again. And this better be Rose and not some evil twin or something.


Doctor fashion faux pas. Sigh. I thought the collar of his shirt being on the outside of the suit jacket was just a blue suit thing but now it's migrated to the brown suit. I really love the Doctor's casual look and they should do it more often, but please for the love of cute puppies, put the collar under the suit jacket.


And Daleks. What a shocker. Can't we go a season without the Daleks? Looks like Dalek Caan has been busy. Maybe the shadowy Dalek from the end of the trailer is Dalek Caan. And then the Doctor can shout "Caan!!" :-)


This shot interests me. That clearly looks like Donna to the right of frame there. Rose seems to be running, shouting the Doctor's name. Another scene in the trailer has the two of them talking, so it feels like this is how Donna meets Rose. In the middle of street. Is it me, or does a police car seem to be chasing Rose?


For a second it looked like the Doctor was travelling between realities here, but a close look at his suit and it seems this shot is from the two parter. Looks like the Doctor is travelling through the Time Vortex actually.


And the TARDIS is on fire! Looks like the same episode as the "Rose is coming back, isn't that a good thing?" scene.


Shadowy!Dalek. I'm tempted to lighten up this shot just to see if I can see anything. Could be it's Dalek Caan, but why the big reveal like this? You can't tell one Dalek from another for the most part. I want to say it's Davros for some odd reason. Yes, last time we saw him he was just a head, but who knows.

So a darkness is coming and it's wiping out stars. Presumably that's the thing that's been wiping out planets all season. I hope it's something cool, like a entity that devours planets. Hmm, that sounds a lot like Galactus... Okay, maybe not, but an idea of something similar.

All of this is pure speculation on my part so I don't want to know if I'm close or way off the mark. Good thing about these trailers is that everything is out of context. You have no idea what's going on until you see the episode.

Oooh! This is a great post. :D I think you were way more coherent than me about it. I basically just tend to jump from one extreme to the other.

But the super interesting part is the fact that the Doctor knows Rose is coming back. I was expecting they were going to run into each other on the street in the middle of the crisis and have an excited and emotional moment.

I was figuring on that, too! But I do like when they surprise me. Waiting for them to meet up is going to be agony though. EEEEEEEK.

I love it when they do stuff that isn't expected. Though, they were cruel enough to leave out even one tiny shot of the Doctor and Rose together. They will have scenes together, right? That would be extreme agony if they spend the entire story separate.

I think the pic spam helped to make my post more linear. I was just following the screencaps I made. Without them I probably would have been like, "Rose! OMG! Bah, brown suit with collar out bad, blue suit with black suit surprisingly smart looking. Boo Daleks." :-D

You forgot your basic duty of linking to the trailer! ;)

But I found it anyway.

Whoops, sorry. I didn't find it on Youtube so that's probably why there's no link.

Hehehe you and goldy_dollar are so fun *G*

My first thought was Davros when I saw the shadowy Dalek, so, either they want us to think that (maybe) or we've reason to think that (maybe)

I heard a rumour (somewhere) that the Rose episodes were 'Doctor Lite' soooo... I wouldn't expect a ton of Doctor/Rose scenes... It wouldn't surprise me if they don't get more than one scene together before Rose has to go back to alternate earth, sad as that is.

I'm excited tho! Want to know what's going on!!!! :oD

Obviously with the Shadowy Dalek they're setting up a big reveal so it has to be more than your average Dalek. Though, if it is Davros, my first thought is, "Really?" Actually, after watching the trailer a few more times, you can make out a Dalek sucker and blaster so maybe it's not Davros. Or it's Davros' head on a Dalek body?

And really? Rose is the Doctor lite episode? Well, if that is the case, at least the episode will have a character worth watching. But that would be super disappointing.

We shall see though. God, I love these trailers. :-D
