Nope it's not out yet here. Next week for us is the Cyberman one XD So I'm not going to look at this thread anymore.

Well unless someone can explain what season finale of Dr. Who was about, then I'm not sure I want to watch the show again. I feel like I just got trolled.. All that hype about his name, and then just confusion...

The Doctors secret is not his name, the secret was his grave which could only be opened with his name...but he didn't open his grave. River Song did.. Dr. Song ?? :?

River is the only person in the Dr. Who series that, AFAWK, knows his true name. It's been stated several times that she has this knowledge. But of course, they often meet out-of-sequence, from a linear-life perspective, making things much more confusing to watchers, as the only full way we understand lives and time is linearly, as everything else is theory and mathematical guesswork.

His darkest secret wasn't the grave. That was just what was necessary to access it. His darkest secret was revealed in that last scene. Something that would have surprised everyone. And is presumably from his past not his future or he wouldn't have even known it to call it secret. It's a major change in what we assumed was the current Doctor's rank in things and I can't wait to find out more.
