Doctor Who fail

So we all hate spoilers right? Well I mean some of us do and they are the sort of people who spend time posting spoilers on the internet just to annoy fans. You know what I hate the most? I hate people who type out the entire plot of a film on Wikipedia. If I ever go on to just see what a film is about after seeing a trailer, I can accidently end up reading the end of the movie when I scan down to see who is starring in it. So annoying.

Another one is people who just come out and talk about films that are still in the cinema, without asking you if you’ve seen them. I knew the end of the Sixth Sense, the Others, Se7en and Fight Club all before I even saw them, thanks to people who can’t keep their mouth shut.

Well it turns out that Steven Moffat (that’s the chief writer at Doctor Who) hates spoilers too, though he just mainly features on Doctor Who spoilers.

Apparently fans who were allowed into sneak previews of this season’s first two episodes promptly decided to hit the internet and type out the entire plot before anyone else got the chance to see it. Not cool right?

If I want to find a spoiler, then I’ll ask for it, but I hate when I find one while innocently browsing. However, it’s not just nerds with nothing better to do that are spoiling Doctor Who for us this season. IMDB has listed characters for an upcoming episode, and it may give away the true identity of the little time lord girl who was lurking about in the first two episodes. I won’t say any more. I wouldn’t want to spoil it for you.

An old favourite enemy of Doctor Who will make their long-awaited return to the TV show in the new series.

Onthebox reports the lizard-like Silurians will feature in the series after the show’s new boss, Steven Moffat bowed to fans’ requests to bring back the reptilian foe.

The Silurians first featured in the 1970s episode ‘Doctor Who and the Silurians’ where the creatures, disturbed by the workings of a nuclear facility, release a deadly virus that threatens to end humanity.

They reappeared in 1984 in the adventure ‘Warriors of the Deep’ alongside another favourite – the Sea Devils.

The Silurians will feature in Series Five of the Doctor Who show, starring new Doctor Matthew Smith.
