"I knew this would happen because it leaked online" — Is Doctor Who Planting Leaks in Its Own Show to Mess With Fans? (www.ign.com)

This is actually hilarious. Some reality defying mental acrobatics on current Doctor Who are picked up from fan forums and passed on by IGN:

Doctor Who's latest episode just called out its own leaks, despite being film two years ago. Is showrunner Russell T Davies seeding spoilers to mess with fans, or is this all part of a grand plan?

I think the "grand plan" is somebody's attempt at making causation after the fact in things that are at best correlations 🙂 Is that somebody in charge of the show? Nope!

More likely they're on an online echo chamber whipping up a collective delusion that the showrunner has the time and acumen to orchestrate a big ARG in which they, the hardcore fans, are the heroes...

I know this community isn't big on speculation, but I find it really interesting to observe others' wildly out of proportion speculations 😄
