There's some speculation that the seventh and 11th episodes of the new season will be "lite" episodes, containing relatively little of the Doctor and his companion. There are also some somewhat recent set pics, showing a mob of people with torches lighting someone (or something) on fire. (Photos by the Twelfth Doctor.) And here's a set video I don't think we showed you before, of what looks like an early scene between the new Doctor and his companion Amy. [GallifreyBase]

Blink was a Doctor/Martha "lite" episode and that worked very well....

yeah a prime example right there!, the time when the doctor did appear was really good but even though he wasn't in it alot you knew he was there somewhere.

For me the best part about the last episode was When he saw Jack again, while during all of torchwood he was looking for the Dr. and he just shows up

yeah I liked that bit, there's talk about Russel Tovey appearing in Torchwood next series :D

Just noticed in the new trailer...

He's firing a gun!?

Not all the Doctor's incarnations were against using guns/violence/etc remember. Only the last few regenerations did it become a more important thing (maybe because the show was being specifically catered to a younger crowd again I dunno) to the Doctor. I remember when the 2nd Doctor and the 4th (I think) used guns quite well actually. And I believe the 3rd Doctor once actually killed someone on purpose during one series set on a space station with the Daleks. (Don't ask me it was almost 30 years ago lol)

I was reading on another Who forum about the man and the woman Time Lords who had their face covered by their hands. The woman uncovered her face and it was the woman that Wilf had been seeing but the man never did uncover his face. I wonder who they are? Are these the two who voted no? How could the woman come back through the Time Lock when the rest of the Time Lords could not? Why did the man never show his face? You think we will ever know the answers?

Well if you want to go by the way the Doctor looked at Donna's Mother at the end, and the way that woman was crying and trying to tell the Doctor something, my guess is it was in fact his own Mother. It stands to reason the male who was covering his face would probably be his Father. I doubt we'll ever find out...unless the 11th Doctor mentions it specifically or the 10th Doctor shows up sometime down the road.

And yeah the "I don't want to go" had me also. Doctor Who Confidential said they knew people would be crying/upset by that point so they wanted to pull at the heart strings one last time and they had done like 4 different takes ranging from no emotion while he said to him being totally broken down and crying but they went with the slightly emotional yet still the Doctor one :(

How many times can a doctor regenerate? Or is it not set?

This is open to debate but from what ive seen on other forums etc it seems to be currently 12-13. That being said I dont think the writers are too worried about this. They havent really put a concrete number in place since it was relaunched and im pretty sure they could each come up with a dozen ways to make the doctor extend the regeneration cycle. That is afterall the beauty of sci-fi :D I think most of the new audience dont really have a clue as to any limits on the regen cycle so they could verywell just never mention it, I mean, no one expects the franchise to stop so.

And how can anyone not like the daleks? Those guys are awesome, die hard attitude, one track minds. I admire their focus and determination :p I do like the daleks from old and new but I would have to say the best Dalek moment is when the daleks and cybermen are conversing in series 3 or 4.

hehe I had to youtube:

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.

      Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
