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

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By zikalify · Posted

      UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival

      By Steven P. · Posted

      HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

      I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.
