@Bluesqueakpip:

@BadWulf – no. We see little Clara’s mother, and it’s the same actress who plays Ellie Ravenwood Oswald in Rings. Plus, this little Clara Oswald has a heavy Lancashire accent, as does her […]

@ScaryB

LOL @Badwulf re facial hair. It’s as persuasive as anything else. But just to throw something else into your mix – the Master also had facial hair…!

Precisely…! Evidence of a conspiracy of epic […]

OK, new off-the-wall theory about who the Hurt Doctor is, and whether we have seen him before:

Maybe he is the War Chief?

Perhaps his crime was to travel throughout time and space building and training an […]

@davemorris316 – no apology necessary!

As to Trenzalore being Gallifrey – the Timelords do have form already with the ol’ “move a planet around and pretend it’s called something else” trick with Ravolox, so […]

@davemorris316  – “We have seen through the last few series what would happen without The Doctor – stars and galaxies disappear, evils run riot through the galaxy. What if the Hurt Doctor (#12 in this theory), old […]

The promise of “The Doctor” – we have some possibilities as to what it could mean:

A) Healer – the Doctor’s role is to heal the scars in time and space left by his culture’s meddling in the timestreams.

B) […]

@davemorris316 – when Clara reappears and hears the Doctor speaking, and then sees the Hurt Doctor looking away, they are almost certainly on Trenzalore, because in the background we can see Trenzalore style […]

@Bluesqueakpip – Dang – I thought I had something there! Although… if Clara’s appearance can be replicated, then surely her parents’ appearance could also be replicated throughout time? Probably not. 🙁

As to […]

@davemorris316 – I thought that they were back at Trenzalore, looking at the battlefield. I suppose it would make just as much sense for it to be a ruined Gallifrey!

On a different-ish topic, I just realised […]

@wolfweed – I haven’t spotted 8 at all – where was he?

@ardaraith – If we work hard, we can make “ClaraPrime” the correct fandom term!

Regarding the idea of Clara as River: I like it from a ‘neatness’ perspective, but I’m torn, as I prefer the idea of having two […]

Additional:

10) Now that the Doctor has reconstituted ClaraPrime, will she retain the memories of all of the ScatteredClaras? Will she therefore be in the position of an uberfan who knows the series by […]

Just finished a second viewing, so some further thoughts/observations:

7) The Hurt Doctor is “The one that broke the promise” of the Doctor’s name, i.e. the one who didn’t take a role as healer/contributor to […]

@thebadfairyprincess – I just misread your post as “Is the Time War between McGann and Ecclestone”, i.e. is the Time War a conflict with McGann Doctor on one side, and Ecclestone Doctor on the other?

An […]

Further thoughts before I watch it again.

1) Is there any definitive evidence to show that the Hurt Doctor existed within the Doctor’s timeline before the GI entered it? (I don’t mean hints and intimations such […]

If he’s not “The Doctor”, then why was he identified as the Doctor on screen?

Were there any clips of 8? Could Hurt Doctor be an aged 8, who no longer looks like Paul McGann?

@Juniperfish

“On another note, I guess the Doctor was trying to get to Victorian London to see whether the TARDIS would permit it. If Clara now is the same Clara as Victorian Clara then presumably Old Sexy would […]

@Juniperfish The three exploding TARDISes is still my favourite explanation for the whole Matt Smith era, and I really hope that Steven Moffat has had a long term plan to tie up the loose threads left hanging […]

@ScaryB On the Graun blog, Drewv has noted that the toy being played with by the kids at the end was the Transformer Galvatron, who, if memory serves, was a rebuilt Megatron intended to act as an agent for the […]
