Dr Who

[watervole]

 Spoilers...
.Lot's of recent emphasis on babies.  I think the Doctor really is going  to die.  It really will be River who kills him and he really will be dead.  However, there's a small matter of 200 years time discrepancy and lots of entries in River's diary that haven't happened yet.  She's a Time Lord, a daughter of the Tardis, and I think she's going to find some way  to have those 200 years before she kills him.  I also think she's going to have a baby (at least one) and that Amy and Rory are actively going to be involved in rearing their grandchild.  I think that child will eventually become the new lead character.

I also believe that the day the Doctor tells River his name will be the day he marries her.

Note that I never watch the trailers for new episodes and avoid all sites telling me about who is back for next season, so I've no idea if Matt Smith is back - I'm just going by the story so far.

I can't see any of the above happening- too incestuous.

It'll be timey-wimey, somehow. Like the two Amys a fortnight ago, one will die to save the other. I suspect that was the whole point of that episode.

Question which occurs is "What happened to the Doctors Ganger"?

There are always ways around causality, especially as Moffat rarely does anything that isn't setup/foreshadowing.

I've just come back to this message having not read it previously because you said "spoilers", except now I've read it, it turns out I didn't need to avoid it because there aren't any spoilers in it, just speculation!

I was thinking that that the "dead" Doctor was a Ganger, but when the Tesselector captain said "is there anything else we can do from you" my thought was "Ok, I can guess where this is going" and I was right.

I have to say that, even though it was a nice culmination of a story arc, I found the ending a little frustrating and anti-climactic because whilst it resolved a bunch of stuff, we still haven't found out everything because Steven Moffatt is saving more of it for the next series!

Still, Doctor *WHO*? :-)

A friend (before we had the return of the Time Lords from the Time War) thought that the Doctor might have been the re-incarnation of Rassilon, the founder of the Time Lord civilisation and the one who gave them the ability to travel in time in the first place, but that doesn't seem possible now.
