The BBC have issued the episode synopsis for episode 7 of the current series, A Good Man Goes To War - read it below. Just a reminder - this is the last episode before the mid~series break.

Amy Pond has been kidnapped and the Doctor is raising an army to rescue her as the drama continues. But as he and Rory race across galaxies, calling in long-held debts and solemnly given promises, his enemies are laying a carefully concealed trap. In her cell in Stormcage, River Song sadly acknowledges that the time has come at last ? today will mark the Battle of Demons Run and the Doctor's darkest hour. Both sides will make their sacrifices and River Song must finally reveal her most closely guarded secret to the Doctor.

LOL me Likey lotty

Mid-season break? Seriously? Why o Why do we have to do it like the americans do?

Because Moffat wants a mid season Cliff Hanger or something, lol.

I don't mind it with Doctor Who so much, a lot of series we get over here are 6-12 episodes long anyway, at least we are getting them all in the same year, I always hated so much time between Doctor Who returning between years, this way we don't go 4 months without at least one new episode on TV to watch, and hopefully DW later in the year will lead into Sherlock or the other way around.

I enjoyed it, though I hate waiting a week for these two parters.

Still, I really hope this "clone" of the Doctor, as much like the original it might end up, isn't how they get around the Doctor being shot at the begging on this series, I would personally see it as a bit of a cop out and would rather have something more timey wimey than a perfect clone.

Though I did say at the begging that it might be a clone that is given a few hundred years before being put down by the original Doctor who he lets run free for a few years.

Still, I feel like there will be more to the Doctor dying, with canton being there it seems like there should be more to what was going on in that first episode than just giving it away now only half way through the series.

Yeah, great episode, can't wait for the conclusion :)

btw... ehm, at the end, did the doctor say "Trust me, I'm a doctor" or "Trust me, I'm the doctor" ? I don't know why I'm asking, I just want to know... and I figured out that it would be the best to ask native speakers :) .. Thanks for the answer.

I'm starting to think that

The Tardis / Idris is River Song

..

Glad I'm not the only one thinking that at the moment

Or how about the child growing up to become River? - which also explains the reason she is in prison for killing someone or such importance (or however they put it)

Due to Memorial Day, BBC America is pushing back the transmission dates of "The Almost People" and "A Good Man Goes To War", so they will each air one week later than they will in the UK. [Newsarama]

Sherlock?

The other show Moffat writes.

TV Series also made by Moffat, but I don't see why he would want to link the two?

I didn't mean link them, lol, I meant we get the remaining Doctor Who episodes for 6 weeks and then we get Sherlock for 3 weeks, or the other way around, not a cross over or anything, lol.

Idris isn't going to be River Song, the whole idea behind Idris was by a different writer and was meant to be part of last years series but was moved due to budgeting reasons, it just happens to be stuck in the middle of the lead up to finding out who River Song is going to be in the 7th episode in 2 weeks time.

I would have assumed that the child is not River Song, she said she first met the Doctor when she was a child and as their timelines are generally going in opposite directions that it will be the last time the Doctor meets River.

Though we only have to weeks to find out either way. :D

And that just sucks, IMO. Why can't they show a new one? Who cares about a holiday.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By Arceles · Posted

      To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
