Doctor Who - Discussion Thread II

Well, considering the Doctor killed two races/committed genocide, I'd say it was specific to Tennant but still something which he (all incarnations) avoided at all costs/until the situation compelled him.

Right, I'm **** at screenshots, but if you look at BBC iPlayer for the episode at 37:15 onwards, there are more than one laser killing the Silents.

If knowing who River really is can save his soul.

Don't know if it was a Tennant specific thing but don't expect it to last for Smith's Doctor. Not much of a spoiler but apparently, Smith is going to be much darker and the days of merely saying he's the Doctor and having aliens fee (like in The Pandorica Opens) are over. He's actually going to be doing things.

Make of that what you will. There's also talk about:

Which two races did the other Doctors kill

Even though the Silents weren't doing anything 'bad' per se but I can understand why the Doctor would want to reomve them and the way he did it would pretty much be the only way.

I can't remember the exact line but was it the Master who was saying about the Doctor never raising a hand himself when he wanted to attack, he always got others to do it for him. Using people as a means to an end rather than as an end in and of themselves?

River's gun = red
Doctor's screwdriver = green

Time Lords/Gallifrey & Daleks/Skaro.

The previous incarnations, one of them in particular, were manipulative. The Doctor has of course killed. It was also implied (haven't seen the Master specific episode) that the Doctor killed the Master, at first.

I'm going to laugh so much when (if) we all turn out to be totally and utterly wrong.

Thinking whether we should do a website, with only one webpage with all the unanswered questions, along with theories. And then we evaluate which ones were spot on.

Yes, but DOES the screwdriver shoot like that?

Anyone think the fact that River is a 'Doctor' has any significance, possibly a timelord herself?

I personally think so, the child may either be song or maybe the doctor and song's daughter?

I'm guessing that the prequel and scenes from next episode have probably been lost in the wave of today's post. So here they are again for anyone who's missed them.
