Steven Moffat teases 'Doctor Who' finale

Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has revealed details of the final two episodes of the show's current series.

Speaking to Doctor Who Magazine, Moffat explained that the series arc will come to a head in the cliffhanger ending of the twelfth episode 'The Pandorica Opens'.

"It's not just the cliffhanger for Episode 12," he said, "it's like the cliffhanger for every single episode up until that point. This is where the wheels come off. Everything the Doctor is running from lands on his head today,"

Moffat also revealed that he believes his seven-year-old self would be "crying my eyes out by the end of 12. And then again at the end of 13 - but a different kind of crying".

''The Pandorica Opens' is due to air in the UK on June 19, while the final episode of the current fifth series 'The Big Bang' will air on June 26.

Rory is alive if Amy remembers him..... She's forgotten him now but if she remembers him again does that undo things? Because I didn't see the doctor pick up the wedding ring box after it fell off the console...?

Agreed. This'll most likely be the point of remembrance for Amy. Seems a very Doctor Who thing to happen.

Wow, I can't say I was expecting that :|

No, that's not what the whole sequence was about. She could keep her memories of him (that's what he meant by "alive in her memory") if she really tried. But existence-wise, he's done. Unless of course the Doctor is wrong about what happens. Not like he hasn't been wrong before :p

This series has taken a few things from star trek, I hope the finale doesn't involve a future event (Tardis damage)causing explosive ripples (Cracks) that go expand backward in time, getting bigger in the past as per the Next Generations finale or something.

Im finding this whole series to be quite weak so far. Amy seems to fear nothing and is always ready with a wise crack, its like she isn't even part of the danger and the Doctor almost reminds me of a school boy as he commands no presence or command, he is just in the background coming up with wacky ideas.

They need to get rid of the stupid bow tie and jacket, move away from Moffats constant need to recreate Alice in wonderland and give Amy some depth so i actually feel something for her as a person.

I'm loving Matt Smith as the doctor, I think he can play wacky, but can also play the hard guy. ?

I agree with you about Amy, the character is so rubbish it's really off putting. ?I still think she has no facial movement other than tilting her big forehead forward and bulging out her eyes. ?She is terrible. ?You are right about the wise cracks, I think she's too confident early on. ? As for companions go, she probably has to be one of the worst in the new Who. I'm starting to think we perhaps need a slightly older and more experienced actress.?

As for the stories, they've been a big let down because of Amy and Rory. ?The last 2 episodes I think have been far better, more story and characters than rushing around. ? In fact I'm rather hoping we see alien race again! ?The story arch of the time crack is good, but the some of the episodes have been weak, despite river song, that episode (whatever its name) was a let down because of the armed guards, pretty poor stuff oh and again Amy. ?The dream episode was good, but oh wait its the Amy and Rory factor which screwed it up for me.

Are you starting to get my picture?

Sorry to correct you, but it is called the Tardis.

Shut up. I was typing that on my phone and it doesn't have T.A.R.D.I.S in its memory.

Bow ties are cool.

I'm starting to form a few thoughts on where they're going to go with the finale - every enemy ever?

Well not every enemy ever, but I'm pretty sure at this point the Cybermen are involved in some way (unless they are literally in episode 11 and that's it) which is a big meh for me but then again, you never know with Moffat.

Personally, I think the Doctor IS wrong about the cracks etc, when he said that Amy was the most important thing in the Universe (hi Donna!) an it was all about her and all that. I think Rory is the cause or event or whatever related to the cracks and he's the key. I mean, I just don't see Moffat killing off Rory like that without some sort of redemption. But, hey at least we'll get River Song back for the final two episodes :D

      Nice rant! Expletive after expletive after expletive. Poor petal, I've touched a nerve. Would you like a tissue to wipe those tears away. Btw, nice one calling Neowin trash. Why would you stick around when you disrespect this site and the people behind it? Just go away if you feel that way.

      Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 1 by Razvan Serea Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 8 times due to its smart dynamic file segmentation technology. Unlike other download managers and accelerators, Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process, and it reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve the best possible acceleration performance. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. All popular browsers are supported IDM integrates seamlessly into Google Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Maxthon and all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from command line. The program supports proxy servers, ftp and http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, authorization, MP3 audio and video content processing. IDM includes web site spider and grabber IDM downloads all required files that are specified with filters from web sites, for example all pictures from a web site, or subsets of web sites, or complete web sites for offline browsing. It's possible to schedule multiple grabber projects to run them once at a specified time, stop them at a specified time, or run periodically to synchronize changes. Easy downloading with one click When you click on a download link in a browser, IDM will take over the download and accelerate it. You don't need to do anything special, just browse the Internet as you usually do. IDM will catch your downloads and accelerate them. IDM supports HTTP, FTP, HTTPS and MMS protocols. Changes in Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1: Added the ability to download MP4 files from web sites where previously only TS videos were available.

If you only need MP4 files, disable TS in IDM Options -> General tab -> Customize IDM Download panels in browsers -> Edit button. Remove TS extension on "Customize IDM Download panel in browsres" dialog Fixed video downloading problems on several popular web sites Fixed bugs Download: Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1 | 11.9 MB (Shareware) Links: Internet Download Manager Website | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      This is of course "clickbait" WTF? It is literally your example but tech based. A "clickbait" title is a sensationalized headline designed to manipulate readers into clicking a link using things like "fear" rather than delivering objective facts. A "clickbait" headline also usually provides little value compared to the hype generated. How does this headline not qualify? It's a generic often reused headline that is overly sensationalized. Oh no! "millions" can't use this app anymore. It has no basic facts like what f*cking app. You read the article and it's the Samsung VPN which no one cares about and there is a million free VPNs. How are you defending this ######? Headlines like this (and among other things) make me read Neowin much less than I used to in the past. It's trash...
