After months of speculation, the new Doctor has been revealed… and many Dr. Who are unhappy that their favourite body swapping alien has regenerated into… a […]

I have never seen Jodie Whittaker in anything before, so I have no idea about what she will bring to the role (I am sure it will be lots, though). I am super excited to see D13 in action. Bring it on!

Is that… is that… is that a duck?

:lol

I think Cyber-Bill has been foreshadowed by the temporary zombiefication of Bill in Oxygen, and Heather taking on a form similar to a Cyberman head during The Pilot. In fact, could Heather actually know what the future holds for Bill, and was trying to warn her/save her in The Pilot? She let Bill go, allowing her to follow…[Read more]

I think the Cyberman shown interacting with the Doctor in several publicity photos may well be Cyber-Bill. With her body converted, I expect her soul to be liberated by Heather, and they travel the universe together forever.

That fits the themes of the series, of “enemies” not being evil, and of release and freedom.

Who is it you are hoping is going to play the next Doctor from the current cast? Michelle Gomez? Pearl Mackie? Someone else?

Ah ha! Yes! I too have been pondering that. Like “Gallifrey Falls… No More” I am expecting some sort of Moff twist on The Doctor Falls. What could that be?

One can fall in love (but River is gone).

One can fall for a trick or a lie (hello Missy).

One can fall to the dark side (Bill… <wheeze> I am your…[Read more]

But Who would play the cabbage?

Collard Baker?

Sylvester Savoy

or perhaps Peter Kale-paldi?

Please, please, please.

There must be many multiples of simulations, I agree. Although, to be honest, I think we will now leave the sims behind and see the fight with the Monks in the “real” world.

Other theories I am considering as to why this regeneration will be unlike any other:

– The Doctor splits into two seperate people, the Doctor and the…[Read more]

Regeneration speculation! Now we’re talking! 🙂

I love @jimthefish‘s idea of the Shadow Doctor regenerating, and Shadow Doctors in different simulations becoming different “new” Doctors. To push it a little further, what if the Shadow Doctors could destroy the simulations by all simultaneously…[Read more]

Ah! I hadn’t seen your reference to The Passenger. What a song though!

And yes, Under Pressure! A great choice with that line (as well as the title, of course!).

🙂

The Master and Missy work together against the Doctor, before something makes Missy turn on the Master, killing him. The Master then regenerates into… Missy. Missy creates herself. Bootstrappy enough? Plus, double the Missy…[Read more]

Pick up spare from desk tidy?

😉

Knock Knock + Oxygen = Sound and Vision?

And;

The Pilot was searching for… The Passenger (by Iggy Pop, but featuring the musical talents of our boy Dave).

@janetteb

Could the President’s daughter (presumably the daughter of Rassilon) and Missy’s daughter be one and the same? Will we find out what happens to cause the Doctor to give Missy that brooch?

Knock Knock!

Who’s there?

The Doctor.

Doctor Who?

Well, yes! How did you guess?

Apologies if this has already been posted. The thread is too long to check now! 😉

Kris Marshall plays the piano.

Just sayin’.

The fact 12 seems to have grown into a parent/grandparent figure, the lines about regeneration and not leaving your charge behind. If 13 did travel back in time as a child to get 12’s help, maybe 13’s TARDIS is also in the vault with him or her. That would tie into Nardole’s suggestion to Bill to…[Read more]

The vault contains someone/thing that is needs to be contained, presumably for the good of the universe…

The piano…

The repeated David Bowie references…

Is there Life on Mars? It can only be…

RICK WAKEMAN!

Cracked it. <Drops mic.>

I thought that for Thin Ice it might be Scary Monsters… And Super Creeps. It did have a scary “monster”, and a guy who was truly super at being a creep. Next week: an early guess for Space Oddity from me.

Loved this week’s episode. Suchet was brilliant, and the twist was unexpected. There is definitely a theme of release going on, imo.

A laughing gnome? Oh yes! I sincerely hope to see one. And I am not joking! 🙂

No real mad theories from me yet about who or what is in the vault. Though I did note that Nardole’s explanation of the TARDIS being a box within a box was said near the vault. I seem to…[Read more]

I myself did not see it. Too busy playing with our ten month old! Glad it sounds like it was good, though.

For example, when the 11th Doctor got very, very old he…[Read more]

When we met “our” Clara (aka Clara Prime) she was a nanny to some children. In “The Crimson Horror” she is seen fiddling with a toy robot in the childrens’ home. That robot is a Transformers G1 Galvatron figure. This jumped out at me at the time because that toy was released in 1986, and is…[Read more]

Ah, OK. Thanks for clarifying. I wasn’t sure what the nature of the wraiths was, as I’m a relative newbie to regular Who watching. 🙂

A belated sorry and thanks for moving the posts from Spoilers. Apologies for taking the discussion “off piste”.

My understanding/rationalisation of this scenario is that during a “standard” teleportation the object that is teleported is broken down into a packet of (incredibly complex) data by the teleporter at the departure point, transmitted to the desired destination point, and re-constructed…[Read more]

I think we will soon also need Rule 0: The Moff lies.

Something very clever is afoot, in my opinion…

I agree with the theme of “illusion, sleight of hand and disguise” you mention. I would also propose a theme of stories being edited or revised, possibly to change or obscure the truth. Rasmussen obviously edits to his own ends, Me edits her diaries to remove sections she doesn’t like (or perhaps someone has edited them for her, to d…[Read more]

Being a Brit, I am finding the “pants” theory rather amusing, as pants are a rather more intimate garment for us. However, it is strangely appropriate, seeing as we have indeed had some information regarding the Doctor’s undergarments of choice this series – according to The Zygon Invasion they have question marks on them! 🙂

However,…[Read more]

Now we’re talking! Trouser analysis! With pictures! Thanks for putting that together. 🙂

I shall have to ponder this further, as well as the Doctor’s hair length(s).

Sounds like you have tried quite a few refreshing beverages! I expect you will grow to enjoy some of the drinks the rest of your family do – I know…[Read more]

Ha! Like mine ever do! 😉
