Valeyard???

Where did the rumor about the Valeyard appearing in this episode come from? Has anyone else heard about this?

I believe that was just someone's conclusion from Bill Nighy's appearnace. To me, he appears to be a perfect candidate for being the Valeyard too (and he supposedly plays "the doctor of art"... remember what the Valeyard meant?) But it's still just a speculation, and most likely very false one. 109.243.23.78 13:41, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
It's not Bill Nighy's appearance, it's Tim Jones. He has the exact same clothes as the Doctor, but he looks, well, different. I think he will be in "Amy's Choice" personally, as Steven Moffat talked of a "Dream Master" to appear in it.

Reason for suicide

The Van Gogh story is set in Provence, ie historically within the last 2 years of Van Gogh's life prior to him fatally shooting himself after experiencing severe undiagnosed depression / mental illness. During this period he did works for the 'Decoration of the Yellow House', and the Curtis rumour is that in the episode Van Gogh attacks a yellow monster. Any connection? Also, is this hinting at a possible explanation here for contributory factors to his suicide? 86.26.137.154 08:04, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

This was my thought as well, as it appears set at the end of his life - the description of him being a 'sad and lonely painter' I suppose indicates they are not going to try and be overly revisionist and provide a complete explanation of his suicide to avoid or gloss the 'messy business' of mental illness thats not often dealt with openly enough in tv etc - though it is a family adventure program, so who knows?

Doctor-Lite Episode?

I've heared that The Lodger is the Amy-lite epeisode, so reason tells me that Vincent and the Doctor is the Doctor-lite one. Is this true? I mean, I've seen clips of the Doctor from this episode, but the synopis seems to comfirm that it is at least from Amy's point of view. Any ideas? MidnightCat 17:12, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think this episode is a Doctor-lite, I don't think season has one this season. I've seen clips of this from the trailer and it shows alot of the doctor being involved. :) -- Michael Downey 17:45, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

The Coming Soon montage at the end op ep 1 has clips from many episodes. Amy is seen wearing her scarf and outfit she wears in other stills released for this episode; she is seen wearing them as a semi wrecked Cyberman advances on her.

The alien of the episode

I don't know what to expect from this episode, alien-wise, but I'm expecting a cerberus-like creature. (For those who don't know, a cerberus is a three-headed dog, like Fluffy from Harry Potter). By the Doctor's words: "Could you breathe a little quieter please?" I think the creature must have phenomenal hearing. Meta-Levia, 16:37, May 30, 2010 (GMT)
