Season 9 TRAILER

Discuss....................................

Lots of flashy images....no idea what most things are. And now, who is Maisie Williams playing?? Any guesses?

Looks good. Quite looking forward to this. A bit disappointed it's late September, in what's a pretty glutted nerd season (Flash, Arrow, Supergirl) and not Mid-August.

Looks great!! I love the look of this series. The visuals are great. It's also looking a lot grittier in terms of tone, and I like that.

Yay! I agree it'd be nice if it was starting a bit earlier. But, hey, I'll take it.

I'm calling it now...she's playing...

total speculation but just in case:

With that slice of dialogue, who else could it be? There's a pic of Maisie on the TARDIS set, and her outfit looks very reminiscent, and Capaldi made a comment at the panel that all but points to her.

Someone put up a screen grab of what looks like a classic dalek behind the other one. And if you look at the one city it is very much what a modern look the Dalek City on Skaro would be like.

Looking at 0:34 in the trailer, is Capaldi's hair getting bigger? As a tribute to Jon Pertwee, was his first series hair kinda normal and then the bouffant will grow larger in each subsequent series?

Second trailer. Look out for the classic Daleks.

I see a few Dead Planet Daleks, Emperor's guard from Evil of the Daleks, a Genesis/Destiny style up on the platform, and even the Special Weapons Dalek again.

Also nice to see that Big Red hasn't been forgotten.

There's also the distinctive asymmetric door from the first Dalek serial in plain sight. Almost makes one wonder if we'll see a Dalek Emperor (either "Evil..." or "Parting..."). But given there's the red Supreme, I suspect the production will just use it as the de facto leader, saving a bit on production costs.

Sincerely,

Bill

The grey Dalek on the balcony is definitely a renegade Dalek from Remembrance of the Daleks. The black highlights on the midsection band and slats give it away, plus the silver mesh in between the slats. I really liked those models, so it's good to see them again.

Honestly, the RTD era Daleks look almost... caricaturized when compared to the classy 60's Daleks.

The SWD is in the background also.

Oh sweet. I didn't notice it at first. Hopefully this episode will focus heavily on the Daleks instead of some boring side story between some other characters, like that awful Asylum of the Daleks. And HOPEFULLY this episode is a lot better than Into the Dalek, ugh.

Nice to see someone else think Asylum was awful. I too am hoping that the Daleks will be used properly in this story.
However if Missy is working with the Daleks, that raises all sorts of continuity questions, the Daleks thought they had destroyed him/her in the movie, so won't they wonder why he now she is still alive...

They won't necessarily recognize her, since last time they saw her, she was a he.

EDIT: Also, I expect some references to Frontier in Space.

I liked the red Supreme's look a lot. I'm guessing Skaro? That'll be fun. We haven't been there in ages.

IMDB doesn't know, but they do know the episode titles...

Doctor Who (TV Series)
- The Woman Who Lived (2015)
- The Girl Who Died (2015)

I think fatsal might be right
