So the speculations are building exactly what is going to be happening in the upcoming 7th Season of Dr Who. Sometimes saying 7 seasons sounds so wrong because the series is much much older then that but the powers to be started recounting after the resurrection of the series back in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston as the 9th Dr, so who am I to argue or complain. Anyway Dr Who TV who always has some really good inside stuff has some speculations of whats to come also some facts. For example they know there will be 14 episodes in all . That is 13 regular shows and 1 Christmas special. It is quoted by Moffat that there will be no 2 parters or highly unlikely. Rory and Amy will be in plenty of episodes and there will be with out a doubt an exit of them in what is said to be a heartbreaking way. It is also said that there are going to be some classic monsters returning to the series from the older series of the 60’s and 70’s. Which will be fun to speculate which ones they may be. The airtime will be in Autumn of 2012 ( which really sucks because of the wait in-between) which should be the same on both sides of the Atlantic.
Now to the rumors. Some of the strongest rumors of to come out are the return of the Yetis and one of the classic monsters and the Master. There is wide hope that John Simm will reprise that role. Honestly I hope so to. After shedding the idea of the Ming version of the Master format he classic series the pseudo phsyco intellectual reincarnation of the Master was brilliant in more ways then one. Also strongly rumored is the return of Captain Jack (John Barrowman) It is said the Moffat wants him back so in my mind that is a better the 80% chance that he will return in the 7th series.
Moffat was also quoted in another of the Dr Who TV reports the first episode of series 7 (Episode 701) Will be more Die Hard like. Hmmmm are we going to see a action Dr Who.
” I want slutty titles and movie-poster plots. I want big pictures and straplines. The first episode I’m writing is called [Spoiler] of the [Spoilers]. And it’ll feel a bit like Die Hard, that first episode.
“Everyone is expecting us to do another year like 2011. You’re not going to get that at all. You’re going to get the biggest, maddest set of episodes ever.”
There is also one conflicting rumor on how many episode will actually run in 2012 or will it be split up so it will seem like its 2 seasons . My opinion is if they split it up then you will see some semi big budget made for TV movies for the 50th anniversary or something like that. I think back at the last season of the David Tennant era and come up with maybe they will do something similar to stretch things out a bit.
Well if you have any thoughts or like to interject your ideas of what is to come especially with the classic monsters go right ahead. I tell you who I would love to see return are the Time Lords themselves. Not just one or two but the who kit and caboodle lot of them. It would set up some interesting story arcs in my opinion.
