May 1st, 2011 - 1:44pmYou should do a page of all the questions yet to be answered…like the girl, the spacesuit, the doctor’s death, amy’s pregnancy, eye-patch lady, the strange other TARDIS thingy and the silence coz i don’t think that episode was really related to the plot arc in the last series i mean how has silence fallen? And really what are the silence and why do they want to kill the doctor?
simon w
May 1st, 2011 - 1:46pmA very good point there they should have a page about the arc off this season
Jeramy Simpson
May 2nd, 2011 - 6:51amagree, like a whole theories page where we can discuss it and the one with the most supporting evidence get placed at the top of the thread, and all major ones below, so we don’t get repeats (as much)
MoonGirl
May 2nd, 2011 - 8:29pmIf you re-watch series 5 you can see the characters (Amy, Doctor etc.) shaking their heads and looking startled as though they saw the silence monsters. 🙂
Jeramy Simpson
May 1st, 2011 - 1:31pmhey, small spoiler, but look at this, and tell me that doesn’t not answer the whole little kid regenerating thing. Its imdb, so no funny business, also curious, why has no one else posted this link?
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3761542/
Jeramy Simpson
May 1st, 2011 - 1:34pmalso she is set to appear at the same time as that other lady that we saw for a second; in the room.
so anyone else thinking that that lady could be the mother?
Jeramy Simpson
May 1st, 2011 - 1:36pmme again,
just off topic, but wouldn’t it be weird if amy was the mother of her mother?
not suggesting it, just thinking that would be weird
TARDIS
May 1st, 2011 - 3:43pmthere’s one thing I don’t get where’s Amys parents because they came back in the big bang
TARDIS
May 1st, 2011 - 3:47pm@Jeramy Simpson they did a similar thing in red dwarf when lister was him on farther and his girlfrend was his mother
Anonymous
May 1st, 2011 - 1:17pmCome on ppl think about it. If the little girl is a Time-Lord then the Doctor would have know about her think back the Doctor did say that he could sence other Time-Lord’s. In Utopia when Yana became the Master the Doctor was aware the moment Yana changed into the Master. So the little girl might have the ability to regenerate but is not a Time-Lord
Forss
May 1st, 2011 - 12:23pmThe girl could be the rani because in the door to her bedroom we see the epyepatch lady who could have used the chamelion circuit to hide her tardis as the door, and seeming as its the girls room it could be her in the future?
Just a thought.
123abc
May 1st, 2011 - 11:22ammaybe amy is the doctors daughter and the little girl regeneretes into amilia pond and amy is pregnant she gives birth to the doctors grand daughter, who is in an earlier episode in earlier series, then amy regererates and becomes jenny from the doctors daaughter episode prohaps river and the doc are amys parents
what do you think boooboo, i dont want this to happen though
booboo
May 1st, 2011 - 11:26amI dont thinks that it
superdalek
May 1st, 2011 - 11:31amWhoever that little girl is I hope she’s either The Rani or Romana.
doctor who lover
May 1st, 2011 - 11:32amprobly amys child was in 20th century but was not present at the time but the girl is the doctors daughter
Uncle Tommy
May 1st, 2011 - 11:12amWouldn’t it be great if it was Rose and her Doctor’s (the double) child and it’s stuck in our iniverse trying to get back to theirs?
a bit random i know but the only other possible parents i can think of are:
Donna (Doctop Donna)
Jenny
Amy
Riversong
But i think they’re all too obviuse
TARDIS
May 1st, 2011 - 10:17ambooboo I put a link to who the eye patch lady is and I did say it was a spoiler so can you tell me what awaiting moderation means
booboo
May 1st, 2011 - 10:25amits there now, we are having terrible terrible trouble with spam so any post with a link and others with certain words gets put on hold so i can check it.
TARDIS
May 1st, 2011 - 10:30amright thanks its a bit suprising who she is
dr who fan
May 1st, 2011 - 11:55amI am really confusion
TARDIS
May 1st, 2011 - 11:59amwhy are you confused
Jason doctorwhoone
May 1st, 2011 - 7:46amWhoever the little girl is, we can all agree on this . . . . . .
She most definatly is . . . . . .
AN UNEARTHLY CHILD 😀
Dktimelord
May 1st, 2011 - 8:45amyou mean susan, the doctors grandaughter.that makes sense
silence will fall
May 1st, 2011 - 10:25amthe child is amys daughter and is a time lord so she be the doctors daughter
Jason doctorwhoone
May 1st, 2011 - 4:08pmDK Time Lord – I was intending that the little girl is Susan, i was making a reference to the title of the Pilot episode of Doctor Who [ An Unearthly Child, 1963 ].
Silence will fall – Why should the girl be the Doctors Daughter ?, she could be from Gallifrey, and not be someone we are allready familiar with.
Messager
May 1st, 2011 - 7:39amBooboo when will the overnight ratings for Day of the Moon come up?
booboo
May 1st, 2011 - 10:34amshould be next week, there out a lot quicker than they used to be
DoctorWho4Eva
May 1st, 2011 - 7:37amthe first 2 episdoes of Series 6 are better than all of series 5 put together.
JFrank
May 1st, 2011 - 1:11pmagreed completely. I was really disappointed with series 5, I expected a lot more from Moffat. But I did think 6 would be better – and I have been proved absolutly right. Day of the Moon is quite possibly my favorite episode ever, at least since Silence in the Libary. Finally the Moff is giving us what we want!
lilixu
May 1st, 2011 - 5:55pmbut I still very like epi about Van Gogh, maybe coz I like Van Gogh
Aged
May 1st, 2011 - 7:08amWho is the Girl, and why can she regenerate? Also, at the beginning of the impossible astronaut, the doctor knows who is in it, but that’s the doctor from the future, who knows all about the things him and river have done, so that still leaves the question, why did the little girl kill the future doctor?
DoctorWho4Eva
May 1st, 2011 - 7:30amI agree. Only Time Lords can regenerate, so why can that girl unless….DUM! DUM! DUM!
THE GIRL IS A TIME LORD!
DWfan
May 1st, 2011 - 8:09amWell we know for sure the little girl doesnt kill him as she is no longer in the suit. I think in my opinion the little girl is the Rani as the Rani hasnt died in Doctor Who!!
DW Fan
May 1st, 2011 - 5:18pmDoctorWho4Eva, their are other species that can regenerate too.
Dr Huw
May 1st, 2011 - 4:55amMaybe the little girl is the Doctor and River’s daughter? Past, future mixed up blahrahrah. Amy might’ve just been holding her in the photo, who knows.
And what was creepy eyepatch lady about? Just dreaming? Definitely scared me more than the Silence.
DoctorWho4Eva
May 1st, 2011 - 7:33amyes. i want to know who that freaky eye-patch lady is as well. That girl might belong to Amy and……..THE DOCTOR! which is why she has the power to be human and regenerate:
PART HUMAN
PART TIME-LORD
Blue Box
May 1st, 2011 - 2:47amIn my mind theres no question the little girl is some kind of time lord. If mine and some other peoples suggestion that the little girl is a time lord then really the father has to have been the Dr.
I like the theory that River is Amy’s daughter. This little girl (If Amy’s) has to be half human half time lord. I reckon that the girls regeneration leads to her being River song now this is were the half human stuff comes in unlike time lords humans age maybe this is why River looks older then Amy.
She said she had Darker days coming for her, Her past is his future maybe she already Killed the Dr. in her childhood. Which is why she is in Jail ?
Sonic Lipstick
May 2nd, 2011 - 4:11pmlove that idea, makes sense as River never admits why she’s in jail. whether or not she has a biological connection to the doctor or amy, the idea that she’s in jail for killing the doctor is good.
Also if the girl is Amy’s, remember what amy said that she would be worried if the baby came out all weird coz of being in the tardis, maybe to baby just absorbed the tardis energy, like at the end of series one, coz that doctor regenerated because of absorbing the tardis power.
just some more ideas to throw into the mix
KORSAIR
May 1st, 2011 - 1:33amI honestly worry that these more complicated storylines may drive the younger viewers away and they do make up a large portion of the viewing audience
booboo
May 1st, 2011 - 7:37amThis does seem to be an issue, i hope its all explained every clearly
Jason doctorwhoone
May 1st, 2011 - 7:43amAlot of Children are very very bright, and im sure they are following the storylines just as well as Adult Viewers.
The Dark Side of the Moon
May 1st, 2011 - 8:39amLook…I watched DW when Tom Baker was in the hot seat at the tender age of 8…I didnt have a Scooby Doo what was going on, but I watched it week in and week out becuase I loved being scared….as most kids do. I dont think the average 8 year old is talking about the plot in the school playground…they’re all re-enacting what the monsters do.
simon w
May 1st, 2011 - 1:07pm@ The dark side of the moon I know what you mean I watch it week in week out and when its not on tv I watch the Video’s and Dvd’s for the past stories. I started watching it when i was 4 the first story i saw was Genesis of the Daleks way back in 1975 with Tom Baker as the Doctor and Lis Sladen as Sarah Jane ( R.I.P ). Which I’m lucky to have both off the Autographs
Rob
May 1st, 2011 - 12:01amThe little girl has some timelord stuff in her , hense the regeneration.
The silence was trying to build a TARDIS and if you remember back to the lodger , that TARDIS was looking for the correct pilot.
The silence needed a timelord to become to the pilot of the new tardis they were creating so they had to keep her alive so they had the suit made.
Why they need a tardis and who the girl actually is though is still a mystery until future episodes.
DoctorWho4Eva
May 1st, 2011 - 7:34amwhich is probably why the girl went round saying: “Help Me” like the Avatars did in ‘The Lodger’
Rob
May 1st, 2011 - 4:41pmProbally. See, it makes sense =D
The Ood sisters
April 30th, 2011 - 11:04pmWhen Amy is discussing her ‘pregnancy’ with the Dr she asks if the baby will be affected by her time travelling? And not because the Dr is the father. Rory hears this conversation and is not bothered by it so we don’t think the Dr could possibly be the father. We think the little girl could be the Dr’s daughter from the same titled episode (Georgia Moffat series 4).
We love River as a character and think she makes the episodes really exciting but don’t know who she really is.
Anonymous
May 1st, 2011 - 3:49amBut we saw the Georgia Moffet character be “born” from the DNA machine. I think the new EP has enough of his own head-scratching twists in mind and cannot imagine that he is going back and retcon-ing the Russel Davies years.
[email protected]
May 1st, 2011 - 8:55amJenny probably will be back, eventually, but I think it’s safe to assume:
A) The Doctor is NOT the father of Amy’s baby (Rory, of course, is)
B) River is not the Rani, Master, Amy, Rose, Donna, The Doctor, Amy’s child, or any other previously seen character.
C) The same goes for the Time Girl.
Happy Speculating 😀

Fishy Frank
April 30th, 2011 - 9:38pmIt was all good, but the girl regenerating just completely confused me.
2doctors2000
April 30th, 2011 - 9:56pmYe same but I can’t wait till it’s explained
DoctorWho4eva
April 30th, 2011 - 9:22pmWow that girl regenerating was ace
Nigel M
April 30th, 2011 - 9:02pmRiver is in prison for admittedly “killing the best man she ever met”. This would make sense if River IS the little girl in the astronaut suit and kills the Doctor. She knows all about the Doctor and can pilot the Tardis, so is she a time lord as well ?
I think she is Amy’s daughter. But who is the father ? After all, Rory is plastic !
doctor stu
April 30th, 2011 - 9:25pmi think the doctor and amy were doing a lot more then collecting thermo couplings, i think the little girl is Amys daughter and the doctor is THE FATHER!!!!!!!!!
booboo
April 30th, 2011 - 9:26pmI really dont think they would do this personally.
TARDIS
April 30th, 2011 - 9:39pmrorys not plastic
Nigel M
April 30th, 2011 - 10:15pmRory is a Nestene duplicate, he’s not human so how could he be the father ?
benjiboodleoo
April 30th, 2011 - 10:56pmHe’s human now because when the Doctor drove the pandorica into the burning tardis Amy remembered Rory as his former self restoring him to human.
Anonymous
May 1st, 2011 - 3:55amSo does everyone think that all of the effects from the cracks sucking events out of history were undone? I’m really enjoying watching these new episodes, but I hope Moffet will leave somethings “settled” because the constant state of flux for pretty much everything gives me a headache. Then again, maybe that’s Moffet’s overarching theme, time is constantly in flux and history can keep changing. It’s an interesting conceit, but I think it makes for frustrating television if you can NEVER be sure that what you know isn’t going to change.

April 30th, 2011 - 8:53pmI hope Y’all realize that some of us are Americans and we have another 5 hour wait here to see it!!!

April 30th, 2011 - 8:58pmthen if you don’t wont to get spoilers don’t check the British websites

jedijim
May 1st, 2011 - 4:19pmThat was awesome! Yes thats what I meant! I can not wait, I’m very impatient! Lol! I used to go online to watch it when BBC America was 2 weeks behind the U.K.!
I like Moffat’s style, it’s like those Russian dolls with one thing inside another! I wonder where all this is going!! It definately is hurting my head to puzzle out , but I’m enjoying every moment of it!
Dalek eyestalks are cool
April 30th, 2011 - 8:53pmOff topic
But BooBoo were you on DWT.Net?
booboo
April 30th, 2011 - 8:54pmyes, putting right some wrongs

Hope you join in the discussion anyway sometimes LOL.

April 30th, 2011 - 8:57pmdont think it would be appropriate, besides i really have my hands full here!
HeartOfTheTardis
April 30th, 2011 - 8:49pmWhy was it rivers and the doctors last kiss? Was River like years older than the River in the last episodes in season 5? So does the 1008 year old doctor still die or not?
TARDIS
April 30th, 2011 - 8:55pmisnt it eleven hundred and three
MRGBH
April 30th, 2011 - 11:22pmBecuase the Doctor and River are moving in opposite direction in time. So his first kiss with her will be her last kiss with him.
Anonymous
May 2nd, 2011 - 2:06pmso are we thinking that day of the moon is the last time river sees the 11th doctor? The thing is, in SILENCE in the library River knew everything about her and the doctor because she had lived it. But in Pandorica Opens, she didnt know about the crash of the Byzantium. its all wibbly wobbly… but surely River would have known she hadnt kissed the doctor yet?? its quite a big detail. unless time is being rewritten somehow?
The Adventure Games
April 30th, 2011 - 8:44pmHOLY COW! This was a VERY good ep. The Little Girl is very creepy. It is likely she has something to do with all the stuff like The Silence, The Astronaut. VERY MIND BOGOLING INDEED!
lungbarrowlover
April 30th, 2011 - 8:21pmI think Susan is back! I hope susan is back!
Anthony Harding
April 30th, 2011 - 8:42pmMakes Sense to me. Susan OR The Rani. Both Possible.
Anthony Harding
April 30th, 2011 - 8:43pmAlso, did anyone else notice the little girl had strangely large hands?
