Well, think of it as a sort of Doctor vs. Mr. Clever kind of thing. It's not a Jekyll & Hide situation, but the Doctor is basically possessed at times by a darkness that he doesn't understand. It scares him. And when he is able to go back into his right mind, he realizes he's made mistakes he cannot necessarily atone for. He's not an outright caring individual, but he's not careless. He's just an introvert, so it's the subtleties of the character that will make understanding who he truly is or wants to be important. As far as how I'll convey that in script form, Kasterborous.com has released pages from the Series 8 scripts as part of an ongoing analysis; it's very inspirational for me.

If the Episode 12 Spoiler does prove true, I'll find a way to adapt Series 11, no worries. I'm hoping what happens still allows my plot to take place. If it doesn't, then I simply need to bump things up so Series 12's plot happens in Series 11, 13's happens in 12's, and so on…I pray it doesn't come to that, though.

I personally hate how some of the teasers were just "This is a good episode. A very good one. Watch it." I was more excited about the ones that actually suggested what would happen plot-wise.

Given its relevance to the future of my projects, of course I'm looking forward to (and also dreading) Episodes 11 and 12. I'm also interested to see what happens between Missy and the Daleks in the opening two-parter. I'm also concerned about the seeming lack of an overarching plot; do you think that stuff they've said about canceling Doctor Who again and whatnot will be true? I hope not...

I haven't seen any set pictures from S9E12, no. I would have liked to have seen the spoiler-y ones, but alas, those have been (excuse the Cyberman phrase…) "deleted."
