New Doctor Who Series Discussion *Spoilers*

Re: Dr. Who New Season SPOILER

The "space man" after the little girl is The Silence. She's stolen all the suit gear to protect herself from them.

Also, there's no evidence that the person in the spacesuit in the modern day beach scene was still the girl in the suit from 1969. Someone could have replaced her, and then to retain the time stream and prevent paradox showed up in the modern day so they should shoot the Doctor forcing the group to go back to 1969.

The Doctor himself, looping back to fix or align his own time line? The Doctor's insistence that no one interfere leads me to believe he already knew what was going to happen... Possibly a cloned or double Doctor killing his clone off?

Amy's not pregnant

Well she does clearly state the contrary right before the astronaut appears, but the urgency and timing and here insistence on telling The Doctor leads me to believe there is more to the 'pregnancy'... I suspect (just a wild guess) that the 'timing' of her 'pregnancy' might not jive with her known time line or that there is another abnormality... The fact that River also experienced 'cramps' plays into my suspicion of more to the 'pregnancy'...

Yeah, and you can take at face value everything everyone says in DOCTOR WHO. /sarcasm. :lol

They made a big deal of AMY being the one to set things in motion because The Doctor trusts her absolutely, so OF COURSE she's going to betray that trust. It's Chekov's pistol.

In series 5, Riversong is in jail for killing, and I quote, "the greatest man Ive ever known" and since she and the doctor keep meeting at the wrong times maybe it was her in the space suit. Everyone assumes that its some kind of space man, but could be a woman, I know it shows a little girl at the end, but there could be more than one of them. Maybe!!! we will have to wait and see.

I, too, think that River is the one inside the space suit. When she tries to shoot the space person after the Doctor's death she, for some strange reason, misses. For heaven's sake, she's River! She doesn't miss from such close range unless she wants to. If she can shoot the Doctor's stetson then she can shoot a space man. Also, after missing, she says "of course not." If she is the space man, then she wouldn't be able to shoot herself for fear of creating a paradox, which would give that line a bit more sense...

On another note, I've always thought that River might be a timelord that we didn't know about...which makes me curious as to whether Amy might be pregnant with River? And that the Doctor, not Rory, is the father? Because the way Amy tells him makes it seem like she hasn't told Rory yet, and knowing Rory, he probably wouldn't let her go on an adventure if he knew she was pregnant. Just food for thought.

Maybe he fell in love with a female Russian agent. That could easily make him persona non grata with the FBI.

Also, it doesn't bother me if he's gay, but it's really getting overblown. Quite frankly the number of gay/lesbian/bi characters the show keeps showing seems to somewhat out of sync with the population percentage. Apparently most of modern Cardiff is completely bi. The point being, it's getting just as tiresome as typical turbo hetero portrayals.
 
Re: Dr. Who New Season SPOILER

Am I the only one that thought the spaceman that was coming after the little girl was The Doctor? He is a spaceman himself you know. He even mentions it in the episode.

Sure, but a "crime" to get married? I think it's pretty clear a statement was being made that he had a love that 1969 society didn't approve of, and, if we take him at face value there (which, I know :) ), it's a pretty short list for marriage crime: homosexuality and maybe (at the stretch) inter-racial marriage.

But treason, sure, with the mooted female Russkie. But a crime to marry her? You know what they were getting at.

Probably. What did it really add to the character though? They had already established that he bucks authority, what did commentary on his sexuality due to move the story forward? It's just getting to the point you can play a 'spot the gay addition to the story' drinking game.
 
Re: Dr. Who New Season SPOILER

fwiw (nothing)...my read on the "I wanted to get married" dialog was that he was married to the job and the feds either implicitly or explicitly wanted it to continue that way with no distractions (whatever color/race/ethnicity/planet of origin) was involved. There really wasn't gay marriage in 1969 so that is last on my list - yes, planet of origin is above it. :)

I will say this - it was a deliberate line. And Moffat doesn't throw those around willy nilly. We will find out the meaning of it.
 
Re: Dr. Who New Season SPOILER

I'm with letmebestormy, I didn't get the gay marriage thing until it was mentioned here. If he is gay, I have one question. Are there any straight people in Who? I feel under-represented. :lol

All the gay & bisexual characters make for more opportunities of sexiness between them. Big part of Torchwood and a common undercurrent in Who.

More sexiness isn't a bad thing as long as the Doctor isn't directly involved! :love

And not because I think he should be straight, but because it's out of his character to be involved *that way* with anyone. Same reason I don't like the rumored idea of River being his future wife.

This also explains why the McGann Doctor tells everyone he's half-human.

:angry I used to like you Larry... I really did. :lol
 
Re: Dr. Who New Season SPOILER

surly the doctor is a-sexsual because of the whole regeneration thing (i know that each doctor is a single person with a shared memory of the colective). with that in mind would there not be both gay and straight doctors, sort of like matt smiths fishfingers and custard scene at the start of his run as the doctor.
 
Re: Dr. Who New Season SPOILER

Has anyone suggested that River is Amy's daughter? Also when we first see river she is wearing… AN ASTRONAUT SUIT. The doctor is killed by someone wearing AN ASTRONAUT SUIT. River killed the doctor…
 
Re: Dr. Who New Season SPOILER

So we seem to have more questions than answers now? Is she pregnant? perhaps the silence have taken some of the doctors DNA and used it to inplmant Amy with a child, which is why the doctor was getting mixed readings at the end? They would not be able to remember due to them being the silence, it could have happened and they just cannot remember.
 
Re: Dr. Who New Season SPOILER

Its just come to me that in previous episode, the doctor did have a child, and she never died. Perhaps this could be a return for that character aswell, perhaps the little girl was the doctors child from the previous season?
Just a thought!
