Hi all,
I’m new here. I have watched all of the new Doctor who series (but only a couple of the classic series). This is the first season that I have watched realtime. Always before I waited until the series came to Netflix to watch. But after more than a year off, I just couldn’t wait anymore.
I loved the Pilot and have watched it several times. I have a couple of bonkers theories that I have not seen here.
The first is about Bill. I think that she is the granddaughter of the Doctor and River. The doctor’s last night with River WAS 24 years long… And 50 years as a professor was plenty of time to watch a daughter grow up and to keep an eye on a granddaughter (from afar…”not supposed to interfere”). The doctor did seem to know Bill’s mother as he is the one who took pictures of her. He did look at Susan’s picture as he said, “I noticed you.” And keeping an eye on a granddaughter would be a promise to keep. Following this line, there must be some enemy of Bill’s in the vault. Something we have not seen before? I don’t know. I loved River and would love to see her story (if not her) continue.
My other observation is when they are on the future planet and the Doctor is explaining the super intelligent space oil. He says, “A left behind droplet of a liquid spaceship. A single teardrop.” He goes on to explain how and why it took Heather. But I find the use of the word teardrop interesting. The word drop would have worked just as well, except that at the end of the show, Bill has a tear in her eye and says, “I don’t think it is mine.” Is it “A single teardrop of a liquid spaceship?” I doubt that we have seen the last of Heather.
I have loved reading all your posts. Can’t wait for the next episode.
