What Did You Think of The Name of The Doctor?
What Did You Think of The Name of The Doctor?
Clara receives a letter summoning her to a mysterious meeting, where she is given a message for the Doctor.
The meaning is uncertain, but when an enemy strikes the Time Lord is left with no choice but to travel to the one place in time and space he should never go – into a deadly trap that threatens to unravel his past, present and future.
Now that the final episode of series 7b has aired in the UK what did you think? Was it the best episode ever or just average.

May 19th, 2013 - 2:31pmThere is lot of theories…him being the “real/forgotten” 9th doctor is just one of them…but not confirmed. John Hurt’s comment that he plays ‘part’ of the doctor and his use of the word “trinity” has spawned another theory that he is something that was created during the 8th/9th regeneration…photos of him in what appears to be the 8th doctors waistcoat and the 9th doctors leather coat seem to back that theory up.
But they are all just theories….who knows what SM has in sotre for us…its going to be the longest 6 months ever!

May 19th, 2013 - 2:04pmI wasn’t looking forward to this episode, I didn’t want to know the Dr’s name. I didn’t want Clara to be River or his daughter or anything like that, wished the Ponds were back!BUT I LOVED it – I cried when he kissed River. I love the two of them together. Best episode of this series. Can;t wait to download it on my ipod

May 19th, 2013 - 1:32pmThat was a genuinely interesting and fun episode. The appearance of John Hurt at the end was a suprise to be sure! If anyone was to play a ‘dark’/forgotten Doctor, I think John Hurt is definitely the way to go (he was pretty terrifying and dominating in V for Vendetta).
The Anniversary special should be really good… 😀

May 19th, 2013 - 1:32pmKevin. Yep, that was the Doctor’s name. No, seriously.

May 19th, 2013 - 12:42pmI thought that as well
Kroton
May 19th, 2013 - 12:42pmYeah, vastra and strax didn’t do much then, so it was their time now. Although I thought it was kind of spooky when Jenny said she thinks she’s been murdered, I wasn’t expecting that!
Anyway what happened to Moffat saying not everyone will get out alive, who died?(and wasn’t brought back)

May 19th, 2013 - 12:37pmBut the original clara can’t be, as we know who her parents are. One of the copies could be, but not the original.

May 19th, 2013 - 12:34pmWe still have no explanation who blew up the tardis and why the silents/creatures wanted to stop it….why them????who are they???

May 19th, 2013 - 12:28pmBut River can regenerate, perhaps Clara was one of those.
If not, then consider:
River was born to kill the Doctor.
Clara was born to save the Doctor.
Tell me that isn’t a concidence.
Given the cast of the 50th (and here is a leap!) Clara is the daughter of Rose and the ‘locked away’ Doctor, brough across the divide to be there to save the Doctor.
Now that is a scrit I would like to see/write.

May 19th, 2013 - 12:21pmThe question was asked by simeon and answered by river. The tardis opened and they went in it. The great intelligence entered the doctor’s time stream and turned all his victories into defeats, this meant that the doctor never saved any of the universe so in the rewritten time line the universe was destroyed. Vastra said the stars were going out and was the universe ceasing to exist. Silence will Fall refers to Silence falling across the universe, which was what happened when the universe ceased to exist after the great intelligence meddled in the doctors life.

May 19th, 2013 - 12:15pmi thought this, but an older river, as we have seen her younger versions.
NigelP
May 19th, 2013 - 11:59amIf Clara can be anywhere at any time to save the Doctor, doesn’t that sound rather like River?
So, is Clara a young River?

May 19th, 2013 - 11:54amJohn Hurt is the ninth doctor that has been forgotten and hidden away because of the bad things he did, this has been written because they couldnt get Christopher Eccleston to come back for the 50th Anniversary so that makes Matt Smith the 12th doctor not the 11th. If you buy the kids Dr Who Adventures Magazine it is explained in there, it was also in Sun last weekend

May 19th, 2013 - 11:25amI thought it was pretty good. The only problem was that the Whispermen weren’t much of a threat. :/
Meh, can’t have everything I suppose…
