And in reference to the episode, I wonder if anybody else has noticed the possible hint as to who is in the box? I can’t remember the quote, but it’s something about the ghosts being unable to pick up wooden items. This smells so much like a hint that it is CapDoc inside it that it’s unbelievable.

Mega realisation!!!! (and this time there definitely can’t be any geographical faux pas’)

Clara’s mother’s maiden name = Ravenwood
Ravens = SONG birds
Wood –> “the only water in the forest is RIVER”

River is in some way Clara’s mother, whether it be as a biological mother, or as I have been convinced off for well over a year now, her adoptive…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip re:Welsh version of Arthurian Legend; Okay that makes a lot of sense, and it’s definitely a Moffat thing to do, I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before

Darn it, i thought i might have something then

@bluesqueakpip ah man, not even in a wibbly-wobbly spacey-wacey way, like how the Daleks moved all the planets in “Turn Left/Journey’s End”???

Dark. Sword. Forsaken. Temple.

Or

Darksword. Forsaken Temple.????

Since I first heard the words my mind has been drawn to one thing and one thing only. Clarent, the sword which killed King Arthur, ie a Darksword. Considering the large amount of references to Arthurian legend, and the fact they are under a lake, it’s seemed like a certainty to…[Read more]

@Fivefaces this is probably of irrelevance, but remember that in “The End Of Time” Tennant did the same to hide the TARDIS from The Master, shift it in time by a split second

@lisa I’m so glad I’m not imagining Clarent, I was beginning to think I was misremembering Arthurian legend

I still think that Excalibur is a semi red herring and it will instead be its twin, the coward’s blade, the darksword, Clarent. It just links in so well with the Claricle theory as well that i’m certain of it.

Great episode, loved the cliffhanger.

@bluesqueakpip i knew someone else would pick up on the reason Lunn wasn’t killed, especially since they always pause for a little bit to analysis their prey before killing, must be them checking to see whether the chant is in the mind yet.

When I heard the chant I thought of one thing immediately. It isn’t…[Read more]

One point that none of us had thought of but I’ve just seen brought up in the comment section of Emergency Awesome’s review of TWF is very interesting. Clara was still in the Dalek when the regen energy was sent. What effect will it have had on her or the nanogenes?

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@mudlark and anyone else interested. I ended up putting it on the standard spoiler thread

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@mudlark thanks I’ll put the theory on the BBC approved thread then 🙂

I have a theory, but it relies on the promo picture released on the 19th with the possible easter eggs, so I don’t know whether it counts as spoilers or not

@Kharis much appreciated :~D

@Kharis Hostile Action Displacement System, it’s the name for what the TARDIS did to survive

@Kharis 100% promise, my lips/fingers are sealed

I think someone predicted the use of HADS on the TMA thread, I can’t remember who though
