Eeeeeeeeeeeee! SARAH JANE! And The Moment! Yessssssssssss.

Also my meta-brain has FINALLY returned, and I am happily free-falling through 3+ series of layers and metaphors and imagery and timey-wimey-storytelling and everything is good!

I'm still waiting to find out the deal with the leaf. The leaf that changed. *is excited*

All the Doctors! This is glorious and the quality of footage for the classic Doctors is just mindblowing!

I have a feeling I will have to watch this frame-by-frame to get the full picture! ♥

It really does: first shot of a policeman -hohoho-, a companion holding the Doctor IN a crystal ball, Clara's reflection being Susan, keys and watches floating, the sonic each time, the sonic with each Doctor, San Francisco, everything being frozen... Surely a lot to analyse.

Clara's reflection being Susan
? I can't see it! ETA: Or do you mean Sarah Jane?

But yes to all the rest. :)

Yes, Sarah Jane! It looked like Susan, but she is probably symbolised by the cot/trolly thing.

I think Susan is symbolised by Clara! (Sort of. It's complicated...)

[personal profile] radiolaires 2013-10-20 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! It could well be, she is remarkably absent in this trailer.

Yeah, what the heck is with San Francisco? Unless he's looking for the nuclear wessels.

everything being frozen...
Oooo, everything being frozen. Apparently the episode takes place inside the Doctor's timestream (where we left off in NotD), so I can see the frozenness relating to that (like events are objects within the stream). Also ~the Moment. Which seems to be a moment that exists in all of time, if that makes sense?

The subtle little prods at Eight [San Francisco etc] make me think they're properly acknowledging him in the canon, I think they've kind of danced around that for a while

this is going to be a fanboy nightmare, I'm so excited!!

Ok, that makes sense.

PISS OFF ALL THE FANBOYS!

. . . actually, Blogtor's got the breakdown for all your obsessive perusing needs, and it does look like Susan!

Thank you so much for the link!
Not so much obssessive as hyper. I am still aware of the fact it is a trailer for fans... It means some elements were probably included because, oh, why not, let's include all the little tributes, which will not be explored in the 50th. It doesn't mean, they are not of importance within the episode when replaced in the show's arc.

[personal profile] elisi 2013-10-20 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Mind you, considering that Clara has had grand-daughterly aspects to her right from the start, I am more pleased than I can express that this seems to confirm the connection! ♥

Oh, definitely! I'm really looking forward more fatherly/grandfatherly moments between Twelve and Clara. Especially if Twelve is grumpy à la One.

As someone (masakochan?) said, he'll probably he the opposite of Eleven - gruff on the outside, but a marshmallow on the inside. :)

[identity profile] lyricwrites.livejournal.com 2013-10-26 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Me!

Although masakochan may have come up with it independently.

I also remembered (perhaps belatedly) saying at some point that I hoped Clara would be a person whose life the Doctor puts back together—and damn if he isn't going to have to literally put her back together. As in, integrate actual physically scattered sub-instances of Clara.

Has anyone else noticed that with Moffat's writing, there are these metaphors that become so actually, physically literal that they get even more metaphorical than that? Am I making any sense at all? (Probably not. I'm low on sleep, because we're teething. Which is to say that I may not be teething, but teething affects everyone in range, if you know what I mean.)

In summary: eeeee!

Totally. It's basically his MO: make allllllll the metaphors real!

And I am now basically blanking for examples, except for one which is extra delicious because it's also playing on one of Rusty's little overblown speeches, which is that, as of the Pandorica/exploding TARDIS, the Doctor does literally burn in the center of time. Also River.

River's whole story is pretty much metaphors made literal.

What Promethia said. But also my icon. The way they will go down to hell/the underworld and up to the heavens (metaphorically, and then literally, over and over again), and every new layer adds more richness...

And how certain symbols keep cropping up (the Library symbol is repeated in the clocks in A Christmas Carol f.ex) - most particularly the circle within a square. It's everywhere. How whole episodes are colour-coded.

(My mind is in a meta-state, but I'm still trying to find the shape of things properly. But at least it's working.)

The promo monkeys have proven themselves surprisingly good with these kinds of things in the past.

And they have a month to go... I hope we will get more material to scrutinise before the 50th anniversary.

I edited my icon, so now it's visible.

So darn vindicated!

I've got three chapters left of Dating... Not sure I can actually get there. /o\

But either way, this looks awesome!
