I’m going back to the drawing board.

Patterns:

Nine had to save Rose from what she had become to save everyone from the Daleks, he learns love can save the world, not just violence.

Ten tried to save Martha from what she became to save everyone from the Master.  He…[Read more]

I didn’t think Missy was connected to Clara till reading theories here.

@Serahni After speaking with my cousin tonight, it’s almost a foregone conclusion that I will be attending with a 9-year-old K9 and a 5-year-old Dalek.

Sounds awesome 🙂

Maybe she forgot (I don’t know where I am), or rather, the Old Gods sent her to destroy the Doctor and she is undercover, Missy is when she remembers and accepts her mission.  I’m pretty much making this up as we go lol.

Kill Tasha, wipe the memory they killed her, “kill her”, wipe that memory etc is the way I was thinking.

Now I’ve gone completely gone mad lol.  I’m putting this together from everyone.

Missy is connected to the Claricles.

The Great Old Ones can

• time travel or following someone in time (Claricles follows the Doctor, she knows what the Tardis looks like inside out, it’s smaller on the outside)
• existing…

(freak shows) + (generations) =

Maybe as a God of Ragnorak, Missy has been collecting the Clara’s.   She makes sure they die when they meet the Doctor, sending messages for Claricles.  Reanimate them as she did with Humpty.

This is prolly getting way crazy lol.  But it would be a place for the Claricles to go.  But why?…[Read more]

@midnyt meh. never apply logic to who. at least not with Moffat at the helm.

’tis true tis pity,

And pity ’tis, ‘its true.”

I wonder why Eleven is so sure that Twelve will need Clara.  Eleven went out and found himself new friends even though Ten was so heartbroken you think he may never have traveled…[Read more]

You know, one of the reasons it could be vunerable, that is the same car, the one that killed Pete, that almost killed Clara’s dad.

@Pedant Well done remembering the P.O.V. shots from the previous series. That definitely implies that someone was watching Clara & the Doctor and steering them together.

The Doctor Who and Philosphy book tries to explain some of these with modern science, closed causal chain, reverse causation.

the Doctor said it was dangerous to be in his own timeline. Then, at other times, and definitely with Tennant it’s all about ‘I can’t go back on my own timeline’.

The one that bothered me was Journey to the Center of the Tardis.  He went back on his own time stream to save himself.  If he could do that, there would never be any tensi…[Read more]

Do you guys think we’ll be spending more time in Victorian England, the Doctor will bring the Paternoster Gang on important adventures, or we’ll just see less of them?

Still there I’d imagine.

I’m loving this Clara echoes idea.  They may be echoes but I’m sure they think of themselves are real people; born, live, and die.  It’s idenity, just like the Doctor has to deal with when he meets his past sevels.  Same face different memories vs Different face same memories.

Moffat likes to revist po…[Read more]

He may have been saying the truth if Handles was yet another incarnation of the splintered Clara that shows up throughout his whole timeline. Anyone else have that thought?

That would be awesome.  I hope we see more Clara echos.  If Clara got to meet one of her echos, so many possibilites.

I completely agree with you that the show needs to follow its own rules. Smith going back on his own timeline really bugged me.

@Barnable

I’m with you, Lockness monster, Big Foot. I think it was just a red herring for the first episode. Writing for this world, not a plot point in Doctor Who.

They could’ve spent that beat watching Clara fiddle with the sonic, not know what to do and put it in her pocket.  I don’t remember there being a chance for her to have given it back.

You’re right.  And he is also the “droid” who dragged her away.  I bet that was the Doctor who put the dream in her mind of the kids screaming, so she would start the ball rolling.  He believed in her, t…[Read more]

That’s another reason I like Tennant.  Sad is happy for deep people, and he was a very tragic Doctor.  Same with Troughton, they both seemed to face regeneration in a similar way.  Not to mention the companions wiped memories.

That’s a good point @< …[Read more]

I’m with you @vashtanerada I love Tennant as an actor, not just because he’s pretty.

I’m not as big a fan of Hurt, I wish they’d brought McGann back.  I heard he wanted too.  Adding another regeneration is just confusing (meta Ten, Valyard, Watcher, etc.)

I have high high hopes for Capal…[Read more]

This is why forums are so awesome.  Ideas lead to ideas.  Bean from Ender’s Shadow said it best “One mind can think only of its own questions; it rarely surprises itself.”  Good reason for the Doctor to bring along companions.

Gotta love McCoy 🙂

The Gods of Ragnarok would be cool too.  Like the Toymaker, came before.  Old Ones from the time, Dark Times, before the universe. The Doctor says he’s been fighting them.

The Land of Fiction with Clockwork Soldiers (Mind Robber Second Doctor).  Master of the Land, needed by a Master Brain< …[Read more]

I like that @ScaryB “I’m not your boyfriend…I never said it was your mistake.” Same thing, Missy says she is the Doctor’s girlfriend and the mistake is on her part. The Doctor sees Missy the same way Clara sees the Doctor? Maybe an enemy that is smarter than the Doctor?

But how the hell does it fit into a bonkers theory… (replaces tinfoil cap).

The SS Mdme de Pompadour (ie the ship) is (or thinks it is) 37 when it gets damaged.
It needs the real Mdme de Pompadour’s head at 37 but doesn’t get it.
Was its sister ship (the SS Marie Antoinette) also damaged at the same time and succe…

I counted at my theater too, two tardis dresses, one very good Eleventh Doctor, plenty of general tshirts, and 8 hats/scarfs Fourth.  Plus me, the only one to dress like a companion, Clara (Bells of St John).

First post, I only have a minute, but I just wanted to mention Marie Antoinette was 37 when she died by having her head removed.  Interesting connection to Madame de Pompadour.

Susan said the French Revolution was the Doctor’s favorite time in Earth history.
