    If they were identical twins, wouldn't that be quite similar to Martha Jones and her look-alike from Army of Ghosts?

    A bit but that was Martha and her identical cousin :lol:

    Oswin acts a bit like the Doctor. Not basing this on any evidence, just throwing it out there. Maybe something to do with...

    Spoiler:
    Show
    Jenny (a.k.a The Doctor's "daughter"). They have to explore that character eventually.
    Apparently "Moffat has said that one the reasons Coleman won the role was because she could talk faster than the Doctor" (from http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2012/...leks%E2%80%99/ )

    And not necessarily with the spoiler. They could easily just leave it unexplored.

    Will the Silence be involved in this series?


    Also doubt its going to be as simple as 'Doctor meets Clara before her conversion' - that's not the Moffat way. :p:

    Maybe he travels back in time and meets her before she boards the Alaska:beard: through some unintended path.

    :ditto: it'd be like K9 but not quite :awesome:
    I would fully expect at least one joke where the Doctor makes reference to a blocked sink somewhere in the Tardis :awesome:

    The more I think about it, the more I really want a dalek companion! It would be like that TV show where they paired up mismatched people!

    No, wait!!! It would be like this-

    Did the Doctor ever actually see Clara? Didn't she say that there wasn't enough power or something when he asked why he couldn't see her?

    I guess that means that he doesn't know what she looks like but we do. So we know what happens to her but he doesn't. :awesome:

    Very good. It was visually very impressive, especially the bit on Skaro though I didn't see the point/need of the new titles. Next time trailer looked interesting but would have prefered a series-long one. Script was good except I felt the Ponds marraige issues was a bit rushed into one episode. New companion was interesting and likable but hope there is not a simple go-back-and-meet-her-earlier twist as that would just be repeating river. I though rory was great as always with his "What colours?". Impressive start.

    Simple not being the Moffat way?

    Might I remind you who River ended up being, and what the Question turned out to be?

    With all the predicatableness of Dr Who it will probably turn out the new companion is Kovarian.

    Perhaps Oswin's telling the truth. After all, the Doctor wasn't wearing his nanogen protector thingy and we know what that did to Amy (hallucinating humans in place of Daleks). Perhaps Oswin the Dalek was another hallucination and thus she didn't get turned into a Dalek and found a way off the planet...

    Of course this is a little bit unlikely...

    I quite like this theory! Plus it seems Moffat-acceptable.

    That's a good point actually. :eek:

    Would also explain the excited 'Show me the stars' line she said.

    We see Rory's dad next week lol they had to get his parent(s) in sooner or later. We've seen family member's of the other companion's.

    EDIT: I know we've seen Amy's parents and Aunt, but Rory's a companion too so about time.

    Just a random wild guess but its the sort of thing writers would do given past series.

    Thought it was a fairly good episode. Be interesting to see how the new companion is added though...

    Ah, I quite like this theory. However, I think things might be kept as they are.

    And thanks for answering my question, guys!
