Doctor who Series 7 Theories and thoughts.

 

 

With the episode Asylum of the daleks starting series 7 within a week I kinda want to do kind of what I think is going to happen and what I think of what's been released so far.So let's get started with the leading man himself.The Doctor.

 

 

First off let's talk about what happened so far with number 11.He's gone through some changes since the regenerations from the tenth being more like a kid on the outside with the wise old man peaking through every now and then.Though he still does feel the consequences of the time war causing him to be very protective and between that and his growing anger the scenes of the exploded daleks with the doctor asking who do you think killed them there is a very big break coming.Now dealing with the daleks can cause alot of massive problems.Series 1 they nearly wiped out earth in three different ways.Series 4 they nearly wiped out everything literally.So the first episode starring the daleks is a big bit of pressure and because of how the trailers are leading it's believed that this season is going to be a snapping point for the doctor and possibly the height of his character arc in terms of time war backlash.

 

Now that being said I'm half and half on the idea that in the first episode he breaks his "no kill" Policy which is partially echoed by something amy said about him being alone too long something that was partially shown in the runaway bride when he went into that odd trance after dooming the racnoss.That and him saying that there are lives on his conscience "Because of my mercy" to quote him.It makes me think that davros when he exposed the true soul of the time lord to paraphrase him may have had a much bigger influence on him then we thought.That and I think that the events of waters of mars may have had an effect as well now that I think of it.

 

I'm not certain if this will change the doctor in any way since the anger seems completly built into the eleventh but if that is the case and he does break the no kill policy that's jumping the shark a bit since that's something the doctor has had in all of his incarnations and if this doesn't have massive reprecussions then it's gonna be insanely hard to top that.Now as for one of the bigger themes let's talk about daleks and as well the other big villain the master.

Yes I do think the master will return this season but whether he'll be played by john simm is a crap shoot.but how would he come back? He was sent back to the time war quickly losing energy from his revival.Well I do think that he survived somehow.Whether he regenerated or just absorbed rassilon using some kind of time lord tech and it healed him or something like that.the point is I do think that him being reintroduced into the time war will have some consequences and I think it's possible that the finale may actulally be a second time war between a returning davros and the daleks against the master now ruling the time lords.So where's my proof of this? Well It's minor thing but one line the doctor says in the trailers caught me by surprise.

"Today I honor the victims first.HIS,THE MASTER'S,the daleks,everyone who died because of my mercy"

While HIS I do think applies to the enemy from the town called mercy episode it could be davros though far more likely the cyborg cowboy.But why did he say THE MASTER'S? The eleventh has never mentioned the master before so I think he's coming back and will be back in the first episode along with another returning force.Davros.

Now how would Davros return then? He was in the dalek ship when it exploded right? Well first of all they didn't show his death for that exact reason but there is another one.In the asylum of the daleks trailers they showed what is potentially dalek caan.The dalek that was in the ship with davros when it was destroyed.Now it's possible it's not caan but It's also the first time I can think of I've seen a dalek outside of it's shell since caan.So yes I do think that both davros and the master are coming back and will restart the time war.It's a long shot but I'll take it.

And yes this does potentially kill my Master controlling the silence but one I do think that's another possibility but I also have another theory for them.Namely the reason why they controlled earth and who madame kovarian is.Yes I'm stretching this but I do think she's the Rani.Since her fate is up in the air it's a possibility and it lends creedence to the idea that the silence are mutated creatures with The Rani being a mad scientist.Plus she has taken planets for experiment subjects before at least according to the wiki I found.It's a weak theory and I don't think we'll even see the silence this season but there's just a few coincidences that I can't miss.

So what else is there? The odds of a multi doctor reunion.Small damn near 0% I'd say.It just seems unlikely with hows things are going.What about companions? More likely at the very least.I wouldn't say a sure thing but closer anyway.What about the new companion? I have no clue.Other then she's either a time traveler or is from victorian times since that's when the episode she debuts in takes place.Though I am happy to say it looks like madame vastra will return for that which I do like.

That's really all I got right now.All I can say other then this is I'm bouncing off the walls waiting for the premiere.

Doctor who Theories: And after the drums....comes silence

Something occurs to me after writing a bit of the series 3 review.What happened to the drums after the master went back to gallifrey in the end of time? I mean think about it.The drums were a signal created to bring the time lords out of the time war to save them from the daleks.But what happened after the purpose was complete? What I think was that the drums ended.That all that was left in his mind was silence for the first time in most of his life.I think he either killed or absorbed the life force out of rassilon somehow and became alot more powerful in that using the power to do both take over gallifrey and fight off the daleks somehow breaking the time lock or at least weakening it to send things out of gallifrey into the rest of time unhindered by the time lock.What did he send?

Mutated creatures bent on spreading his new message for the drums were gone and all that was left is silence.plus really All I can think of with the whole "Doctor Who?!" thing at the end of series 6 was that a time lord has to be behind it.I mean who else would care? plus again all I can think of is the suit kinda looks like harold saxon's.....ish



Doctor who: The mirror effect

I should probably save this for when I do the review But something recently occurred to me when I Saw one of the recent new episodes of doctor who the episode "night terrors". I heard a nursery rhyme and since I freaking love really creepy little girl nursery rhymes cause sinister is my middle name I went to find the lyrics which go something like this.....


Tick tock goes the clock
And what now shall we play?
Tick tock goes the clock
Now summer's gone away?

Tick tock goes the clock
And what then shall we see?
Tick tock until the day
That thou shalt marry me

Tick tock goes the clock
And all the years they fly
Tick tock and all too soon
You and I must die

Tick tock goes the clock
He cradled her and he rocked her
Tick tock goes the clock
Even for the Doctor..
First off at the end of the episode when the last line played and the death certificate for the doctor was shown I got really big chills.I have to admit that was by and large the creepiest thing in the episode and that is saying alot but the second thing was I noticed the name of the lake the doctor died and got chills "lake silencio"....Okay I got chills from that too but for different reasons more like chills of face palmage.

But I noticed in the comments of a video on the rhyme a commentor mentioned that the date of the doctor's death was april 22 2011 and flip the date of 22/04 makes 4022 double 2011.He also said 4022 was the year river song died but Upon research it is not the date of her death but the number of people saved in the silence in the library two parter in which river song died. From that point on i started noticing things left and right with the mirror effect to it mostly in series 6 but some in  series 5. For instance In series 6 the doctor had an incident with adolf hitler and mentioned that "The british are coming" Funny since he should know that since the series before He was with winston churchill dealing with the nazi-esque daleks. kind of a double mirror.

But also I huge theme in series 6 seems to be a mirror of life and death,and love and war.Love causes life and war causes death.But here's something spooky the first episode featured the "Death" of the doctor caused by the war madame Kovarian had with the doctor.The last episode has been confirmed to be called the wedding of river song and we saw the birth of river song AKA melody pond in the series.Death from war and life from love.Beginninng and end.Mirroring the actual relationship between the doctor and river song. The first time the doctor met river was the last time river would meet the doctor and assumedly vice versa.

But let's go back to the poem for a second.the first three verses seem to be telling the story of a relationship between two people ending in their deaths again appropriate since We've seen the deaths of both characters but the last verse seems to be the kicker. mentioning a "He" cradling and rocking a child implying the doctor knowing river when she was born but ending with time running out "Even for the doctor"

I absolutly love this massive web of mirrored fates and numbers it really shows some interesting thinking with the staff though in fairness if all of this was on purpose I really underestimate steve moffat but I do love this kind of thing and with the next episode the god complex coming up in a few days My interest is really soaring with how this is gonna go.
