Ok I was thinking about something today. How did the great intelligence take Strax and Jenny and the lizard lady (can't remember her name) through time and space to get to the Doctors tomb?
Hey....what if they are lying to us about Eccleston's participation? Maybe he will be in it and they used the hype over Tennant to draw attention away from another secret cameo?
Also, as we've noticed this season, the Doctor's sonic has been acting up. My prediction is that it fails him somehow in the 50th, and 10th has to loan him his - thus, 11 eventually gives it to River which leads to her having it for Silence in the Library.

Vortex Manipulator?
Or maybe the whole episode took place in some sort of meta-physical dream-like state, similar to the episode with Rory and Amy, and none of it was real. It would explain why there wasn't a future incarnation of The Doctor running around...
Yeah, what was the deal with River Song? She was there but as a mental projection of her "saved" self in the Library computer.
How was she projecting herself?
". . . The Giant Tardis makes no sense. Number 9 told Rose to let the Tardis gather dust and quietly die forgotten in some corner. . . ."
You're right that the giant TARDIS doesn't make sense. If it's dying, why would the bigger on the inside slowly expand the chameleon image instead of the chameleon image giving out with the rest of it? Why would it lose its "bigger on the inside" in an orderly fashion instead of catastrophically? (insert any other logical "etc." questions here) None of what they did with that element makes a lot of sense.
Unfortunately, a lot of the 11th has the same kind of thoughtlessly sloppy writing. River being able to pilot the TARDIS better - tossed in for humor and retconned later with a band-aid, the doctor acting like a 10 year old when exposed to River as a woman - completely ignoring that he's over 900 years old and has at least one grandchild, etc.
The last few episodes were an improvement on Clara's first few episodes, but the writing hasn't been as strong under Moffat as it was under RTD. All that said, still enjoying the series and looking forward to November.
This post is not pointed at anyone in particular, but I think some people need to go back and read all 149 pages of this thread.
Some of the same people that are complaining about Moffat now and singing the praises of RTD had a lot issues with RTD's writing. No one ever seems to be happy with what they have and always think what went before was better. Kind of like people thinking the 1950's were a golden age unless you actually lived through them.
Normally I'd agree with that, but watching the "filler" episodes of RTD's run doesn't cause as much pain as watching Moffat's season 7 fillers. (Not that I was the one who that was pointed at.)
BTW, whatever happened to the "save my tardis" thread in the OT section? Can't seem to find it.
The giant TARDIS.... The Doctor says that when a TARDIS is dieing sometimes the dimensional stabilizers break down.
This future TARDIS may have been damaged in the fight that killed the doctor.
Note: There is one broken window exactly like the one that occoured when the TARDIS crashed in the episode.
The thing people seem to have missed is.... if this is a future Doctor's TARDIS, why is the console room the 11th Doctor's version?
Is this meant to hint that the 11th is the last doctor, and that the battle coming up is the end.....
I don't know what happened to the thread but he was banned. I guess if you want to see what's going on with it, try his facebook page.
Was was his user name again? The thread has been totally deleted.
