Hi everybody,

Maybe I can add a bit to the general theorising, maybe not:
Did anyone else find it strange that the mummy was called ‘The Foretold’? Because I did and I think it might be a sign that there’s a connection between GUS and Missy. Because Missy lives in what she also calls ‘The Promised Land’. Both the ‘Promised Land’ and the ‘Foretold’ are stuff of myths. So here’s my theory based on what I’ve seen in this episode: someone (Missy or GUS or…) has found a way to feed of myths! They’ve created a place that uses people’s believes. This place exists out of phase (like the mummy) and moves the believers out of phase as soon as they die, in order to maintain their believe so that the place can keep feeding of them.

And on a different note: I hope this ‘Promised land’ has something to do with the place in ‘Silence in the libary’ where River went to, so that we get to see her again!

Does anyone else has different (better :P) ideas about missy and/or GUS?

Cheers,

@whisht I like this idea of the timestream of the doctor being some kind of

scar-as-convoluted-tube-network of places he’s visited

The Hurt doctor entering, the eleventh leaving to visit his past self… Makes you want a timestream for yourself to visit some old nice memories (though I wouldn’t want to take the wrong direction by mistake and visiting some future memories).

@Shazzbot and @scaryb I’m totally with you on not understanding why Tennant and Rose would be part of the anniversary special. That is, if it’s really about the timewar. Though I think I remember reading a theory somewhere here that the Hurt doctor is the doctor between Tennant and Smith. (Probably one of those theories that are lying discarded behind the sofa) That wouldn’t explain Rose, but it would explain Tennant. I wouldn’t want to discard this theory, because we know the human tenth doctor as “the doctor that committed genocide”. And I thought that Hurt looked a bit like an aged Tennant from the back (because of the ears).

@phaseshift

An event that has been largely ignored in SMs run until the book turned up in JttCotT. 😉

I didn’t realize that! If you put it like that it seems very likely that the Anniversary special has something to do with the Timewar. But the problem for me is the cast. If Tennant and Smith are really in the next episode, how can it be about the Timewar? That’s very wibbly wobbly! Of course, the Hurt doctor can be this Timewar doctor, but why would they cast Tennant together with the Timewar doctor?

Ideas anybody? 🙂

@Shazzbot Thank you for the complement! I actually typed my post first in Word, so I could use the spellchecker… My country is surrounded by England, Belgium and Germany and I’ve always learned that it’s important to know at least the languages of your neighbours, (in order to make good money).

I’m happy you don’t regard my theory as to bonkers for words!

@htpbdet That’s indeed a bit tricky. But it helps that the Hurt doctor only seems to make partially part of the timeline. I imagine it as if the holes created by the doctor are part of the doctor, the “created doctor” uses these holes as a sort of parasite. So the parasite part doesn’t make part of the doctor, but the holes-part does… As I said, I don’t think it very likely that this is the case, but I’m sure that if it’s the case, Moffat will explain it a lot better!

Hi, I’m new here, I’ve been reading this site for a while without commenting (and I’m sorry if that’s bad manners) I’m not a native English speaker, so I hope you’ll forgive me if I make some spelling mistakes. I really like this forum, theorizing away like this gives Doctor Who an extra dimension, imo.

I think I have a theory about the Hurt doctor that hasn’t been mentioned before (please correct me if I’m wrong). It’s maybe even to bonkers for this site, but I’ll give it a try.
I was thinking about A nightmare in silver. In this episode the cybercontroller implied that the doctor, by erasing himself from history, created holes that could be used to reconstruct him.

This let me to two different theories:
What if Hurt is the doctor created by the holes left by the eleventh? In that way he is part of the doctor as in part of the holes created by the doctor, but he is also not part of the doctor, because he is created by an alien species. Maybe he was created out of the gaps and forced to do bad by whoever recreated him. And to stop this he did something very bad, which we will see in the anniversary special.

Talking about gaps, what if the doctor actually erased a bit too much? What if the doctor, by erasing himself from history, created the silence? In that case, the Hurt doctor would be the person that deleted all the history and the anniversary special will be all about exploding libraries and databases.

When I’m writing this down, I think it’s not likely that one of these theories is true, but I would like them to be true.

Thank you for reading! 🙂
