Doctor Who – A Good Man Goes To War

Doctor Who – A Good Man Goes To War
Saturday 4 June BBC1

Amy Pond has been kidnapped and the Doctor is raising an army to rescue her as the drama continues. But as he and Rory race across galaxies, calling in long-held debts and solemnly given promises, his enemies are laying a carefully concealed trap.

In her cell in Stormcage, River Song sadly acknowledges that the time has come at last – today will mark the Battle of Demons Run and the Doctor’s darkest hour. Both sides will make their sacrifices and River Song must finally reveal her most closely guarded secret to the Doctor.

Amy is played by Karen Gillan, the Doctor by Matt Smith, Rory by Arthur Darvill and River Song by Alex Kingston.

    The eye patch lady was from a previous doctor who episode. She was in a future hospital. (not the cat hospital though.)

    2 things:
    1) The silurians return in ” A good man goes to War”
    2) we’ve been wondering who is in the space suit but what if no one is because River said the suit can move without an occupant.
    Don’t know if true but interesting.

    I think River Song IS the doctor! I think she is the last regeneration, the 13th regeneration. She says she killed the doctor becuase the doctor had to sacrifice himself for some reason AND since its his last incarnation and hell die after the 13th regeneration. of course this is my theory. explains why shen she kissed him he was like “interesting”

      The doctor has:

      (i) a clone daughter – remember her? she flew off into the distance around the time the Doctor kissed Madame Pompadour (a woman whose coffin the Doctor did not not fill with bricks to allow her to escape into time with him – and another, like the lady from ‘the Waters of Mars’, who might have been rescued into time);
      (ii) a grand-daughter (who appears as “an unearthly child”) in the very first episode of DW. Did a later regeneration of the Doctor leave the grand-daughter with an earlier regeneration of the Doctor to look after?
      (iii) the Doctor made a commitment to return to his grand-daughter (maybe shortly after she loses her husband and is about to regenerate herself): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jQDXQZj8cQ&feature=related
      (iv) there is a rumour of a lone Susan piloting the Tardis in the multi-doctor episode “The Five Doctors”;
      (v) there is an epsiode of the X-Files where Fox Mulder gets married and settles down (and the world collapses around him since, so the theory goes, he stops believing and pursuing the truth that is out there) – is love with River Song the ultimate weapon against the Doctor’s work (or does she come to help him in his work; and share it with him)?;
      (vi) Oh, there’s more, so much more; loose ends; spoilers; where *did* Amy Pond come from in that first episode; what of that pollen and the other chap in the bow-tie?

      Overall, ask yourself if it was just the Doctor who used that Cot featured in today’s episode; and, when doing so, ask who wrote “River Song” on the side in Gallifreyan.

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrK5u5W8afc

      Oh! and where did the Flesh end up? and who/what was that shape-changing “baddy” who came through the crack that frightened Amy so much? Ah! And which dimension are David Tennant (the single-hearted Doctor Who) and Rose in? and is Phil Collins a Doctor Who fan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SidxJz94Svs ? ? ?

    • bigger on the inside

      May 22nd, 2011 - 2:20pm

      actually, she cant because:
      a. river is in stormcage at the beginning of the impossible astronaut, so she has already killed the person
      b. when the astronaut kills the doctor, river shoots it and she wouldn’t shoot herself.
      so unless she kills him another time, river doesnt kill the doctor

    • Old Fan

      June 3rd, 2011 - 2:00pm

      a. River is in Stormcage at the beginning of The Impossible Astronaut. This is a programme about time travel. Of course she can kill the Doctor
      b. She wouldn’t shoot herself if she knew it was her. If it was a future River, the current River might not know.

      And sadly, the suspence about River will end! 🙁 Although I’ve always wanted to find out who she is and have theorys (A.K.A my highly popular theory on ‘All the latest news.) I just love the suspence!

      We will only get one “instalment” of her mystery, there will be massive parts of her story left for future series. There are rumours going around that the 2012 series will deal with how she knows the Doctor’s real name for example.

      The Craig/Sophie/Cybermen story is episode 12. Episode 13 will reveal who River is, we’ll be told who she is in A Good Man Goes to War but it will be very well hidden so it’s not clear.

    I reckon the Doc’s enlisting an army of his enemies to help save her (would be a lovely Moffat twist). Chances are, the Pandorica Allience will still be concerned about the end of the Universe. And, chances are, to save the Universe they must save Amy! Hence the pic of Rory ‘chatting’ to the cybermen. Frankly, if this is not the case, I’d run if I was him lol!
