October 24th, 2015 - 6:08pmI can tell you that the Knightmare is definitely going to be Ashildr…

October 22nd, 2015 - 11:06pmContinuing from my last post, I was referring to the Fisher King

October 22nd, 2015 - 11:04pmCan’t wait to see Leandro in this episode (he’s the fire-breathing Thunder cat)! Hope he’s not an underused character that looks awesome but only has about ten minutes on screen!!!

October 17th, 2015 - 9:14pmI have a theory that the girl in this episode is the same person as the child in the girl who died and I think she is jenny flint
GallifreyFalls,NoMore
October 14th, 2015 - 2:12pmHave i completely lost the plot? The on set photo of Capaldi and Coleman with Ben Freeman and a stone headed thing with red eyes was shot in Tenerife… Where the opener was filmed, yet there was no stone head man and no ben freeman…. When are we actually going to see the creature?
Or is that where Heaven Sent/Hell Bent are set, are we going back to Skaro?
And a small theory for Ashildr, moffat has a way with words.. the last two letters of that name are D and R which is abbreviated for Doctor, so could Ashil be a Gallifreyan word? Possibly “child/young” which would be child/young Doctor.
I know that Clara grabbed the child Doctors foot in Listen, but maybe as a young Time Lord, the Doctor decided he wanted to try life as a Time Lady for a few years?
The Moffat Paradox
October 14th, 2015 - 10:26pmThen that would change the number of official regerations and mean Hartnell wasn’t the first incarnation of the Doctor.Dont think even Moffat would go that far.

October 16th, 2015 - 4:07pmI know right! Ashildr will be a completely new character… Trust me

October 16th, 2015 - 10:57pmCJ, pretty sure that you also said that Missy (the woman in the shop) would be a completely new character….. Then lo and behold, she couldn’t very well keep calling herself “the Master”, now could she? Lol
noncanon
October 16th, 2015 - 10:59pmHow is that name even pronounced? Ashildr? Is it like Ash – ill – drrrr like rolling the r?

October 17th, 2015 - 5:34pmThe Doctor very firmly went through the full run down of his regenerations in The Time of the Doctor.
Plus, “child Doctor” could be “child of the Doctor” and we could be looking at Susan’s mum here. Well if Moffat is going to tell us why The Doctor left Gallifrey they are going to have to explain why Susan went with him.

October 19th, 2015 - 5:56amAnon, I didn’t think she was just a new character, I also thought she was the Rani so I was kinda close

October 11th, 2015 - 2:05pmHow does the Doctor get stuck with the vikings to begin with (the girl who died/the woman who lived), and how come the BBC just mentioned the new enemy the Mire now, because there is no proof that they existed on TARDIS DATA CORE, the Doctor Who wiki?
THE ERGON
October 11th, 2015 - 12:43pmI was wondering having seen maisie Williams in the original trailer wearing the astronaut outfit and clara plummeting to oblivion in next weeks trailer wearing said astronaut gear whether somebody has to die in order for somebody to live. This might tie in with the titles. Nothing to do with the doctors daughter like I originally thought.

October 11th, 2015 - 2:07amWonder if there is a reference to the nightmare child?

October 10th, 2015 - 4:03pmI got a shiver down my spine
nathan
October 10th, 2015 - 4:03pmwhat
nathan
October 10th, 2015 - 5:22pmI bet the nightmare is an alien sidekick
ultimateWhofan63
October 9th, 2015 - 6:02amit seems like Maisie Williams is the nightmare because first of all she was wearing the outfit and second of all when the doctor saw her in the trailer he said you, implying that he had met her before
CJ
October 10th, 2015 - 5:50pmExactly, that’s what I think aswell
the astronaut of death
October 10th, 2015 - 6:00pmi think he meets her in ep 5 and then again in ep 6
Lord President
October 8th, 2015 - 10:39pmI thought episode 5) “The Girl who Died” and episode 6) “The Woman who Lived” were a two-part story, but going by the synopsis for each one, I can’t see how they’re linked…. in ANY way!
mrkrazy407
October 10th, 2015 - 4:43pmIt is not a two part story, however masie is in both episodes
doyouhearthem?
October 8th, 2015 - 5:33pmSo we saw Maisie Williams in a highwayman outfit in the trailer… Could she be the Nightmare?(only a guess).
