New Details on Nightmare in Silver and The Name of the Doctor

The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine has included some new details on the final two episodes of the season, Nightmare in Silver and The Name of the Doctor.

Nightmare in Silver

• The Cybermen are the 699th wonder of the universe
• The Cybermen apparently play chess
• The Doctor and Clara visit the Moon
• The new Cybermen's faces are designed such that the eyes and mouth line up with the eyes and mouths of the human operator - giving them a more human appearance
• The Doctor: "I am putting Clara in charge. Clara, stay alive till I get back – and don’t let anyone blow up this planet!"

The Name of the Doctor

• Time traveling damages reality and the Doctor has done this more than anyone
• Richard E. Grant is back as Dr. Simeon
• River Song is there post-Library (don't ask me how)
• Not everyone makes it out alive (my money's on Vastra, Jenny, or Strax)
• Nothing will ever be the same again
• The Doctor: “The path I carved through time and space, from Gallifrey to Trenzalore. My own personal time tunnel, leading back to every moment I ever lived. Every step, every tear, every kiss. Even the days I haven’t lived yet. Which is why I shouldn’t be here. The paradoxes… very bad…”
