Doctor Who - Discussion Thread II

The Girl Who Waited teasers

Below you will find our first 15 teasers for The Girl Who Waited.

Rory almost does what he does. Again At least he's only almost dying.
Another common phrase from Moffat’s-era crops up again Geronimo?

After watching Let's Kill Hitler again, I'm thinking that the Doctor who turns up in his TARDIS when River is about to be miniaturised isn't the Doctor that was dying in the TARDIS. It's just that he says "Doctor Who?" (which I think is also the question that the Silence want) but at the same time, it's evident that he's dying.

It'll be something to do with two Doctors, which has been referenced all throughout this series. I also think a parallel universe may come up.

The "Rory is a nurse" thing might also come into play.

I was thinking this earlier. Furthermore in previous episodes things like 32 minutes left have generally been in real time/ In this episode there is a whole 9 minutes unaccounted for.

Perhaps the Doctor realised what River would do, found the ganger doctor told him and poisoned him, got dropped off to ep 1. and then the ganger doctor came back. Or the ganger doctor went to ep. 1 with the poison. Which ever you prefer.



I still think the whole Rory 'is a nurse' is showing how he is becoming a warrior and the Sontaran saying that 'Rory I'm a nurse' was just to juxtapose each other, Rory: Nurse to Warrior. Sontaran: Warrior to nurse.

I wonder about why the Silence/ Kovarian are at war with the Doctor. Did he go back in time and stop them at some point to cause their hatred for him?

Rule 1: The Doctor Lies
Rules 2-6: Unknown
Rule 7: Never run away when you're scared.

I wonder when we find out Rules 2-6.

It's probably a pre-emptive strike before the Doctor can mess with their worlds. They're scared of him, he did make the Daleks extinct (for a while) and blew up a Cyberman war fleet recently. I would think they're trying to get rid of him before he stops them.

He only did that because the silence took Amy, didn't he?

It would still be a massive hole in the plot, they could have taken a shot from something like Amy holding Melody in AGMGTW but this seemed to be an older Amy (well different hairstyle) in a different place. There were also other shots of the child growing up.

I like the second theory even though I'm not a fan of time being rewritten. Sounds most probable. Although a bit confusing how photos from a reset timeline would end up in the original timeline.

But then surely they have been many many attempts on the Doctor's life and he tends to survive. Surely a pre-emptive strike would be rather silly? On the other hand Kovarian seems to know that making a time lord regenerate and killing them again during it will kill them stone dead.

Even so it must be something fairly bad they are doing then as surely if it was good then the Doctor wouldn't really go and stop them?

What if Amy and Rory are the godparents of the Doctor and River's baby!

Why would they be the godparents when they're the grandparents?

Timey wimey.

Another Doctor Who-themed tshirt coming up on http://qwertee.com/ in about 10 minutes or so. This time it features "Pond's Fish Fingers & Custard". Not sure if I can link images from facebook...



Actually somewhat tempted to buy it. Although I'm waiting on a free tee from them that I won last weekend and I'm waiting on three shirts from Threadless, so I don't really need any more shirts right now... I only wear my Exterminate/Procrastinate shirt on Doctor Who days (and I forgot to last week...) so... probably gonna give it a miss.

Next time *THIS* goes on sale, though, I plan on buying it D:<

From what I understand, Threadless use American Apparel shirts for printing, so I'd imagine they're pretty good. Wont know until I receive mine (just over two weeks since they were dispatched, still waiting Darn international delivery!)
