eve11...and post some crack theories about episode 7 instead
According to SFX: "A throwaway line from last series becomes a major plot point." Two lines come to mind, both from The Eleventh Hour: the Duck pond ("There's never any ducks"), and the line "Why did you say six months? This is important!"
Crack theory number 1: Leadworth is sitting on top of some kind of spaceship or time portal, and the duck pond is an observation window that was put there by the Doctor's enemies to monitor Amelia Pond and see how she would grow up in her natural habitat.
Crack theory number 2: Amy is keeping another secret from the Doctor, in that their paths crossed during the 12 years she presumably waited for the Doctor, or somehow some other timey-wimeyness is going on. Perhaps Amy and Rory somehow got dumped into Leadworth in the past (1999 or so), only six months after (somehow) amelia pond stopped living there. Or maybe that line just meant that Amy changed her name from Amelia to Amy only about six months prior.
Crack theory number 3: It could also be a reference to neither of those but instead be the Headless Monks, whose final resting place was the Delerium Archive museum that took up an entire asteroid, in which the Doctor and Amy found the Byzantium's home box with the Ancient Gallifreyan writing on it.
Teaser: "My friend, you have never risen higher." Who the hell is this person? Sounds like a woman's voice, old and/or sick. She is apparently the Doctor's friend.
Crack theory number 4: Donna Noble? Regenerates into River Song? IDEK.
Crack theory number 5: Lucy Saxon.
Crack theory number 6: Rose Tyler.
Crack theory number 7: Romana. Regenerates into River Song.
Crack theory number 8: The weeping woman from the End of Time, who is either the Doctor's mother or his granddaughter. Now I have to go watch that scene with her and Wilf in the church again.
Which brings up another teaser: What does the Doctor do or discover to make him rise so high?
Crack theory number 9: Figures out that the Time War was all just a huge illusion to get him out of the Time Lords' hair while they go off and do horrible things, which the Doctor then stops.
...So what is the great fall?
Crack theory number 10: Discovers that the Silence and the Weeping Angels are both remnant shades of Time Lords who have been horribly messed up from the War and are bent on bringing about the collapse of the web of time. Possibly becomes a Silent or a Weeping Angel.
Crack theory number 11: Discovers that River Song is the little girl, who was engineered as a weapon specifically to gain his trust and then turn on him. Discovers this the hard way.
Who is River Song?
Crack theory number 12: Amy and Rory's daughter. From the magazines, we know that the baby is apparently named Melody. Melody Pond? Yeah, that is not so big of a leap to get from there to River Song. This is the least cracky of my theories, and I kinda hope it is not right, but I kinda think it is. Despite that, I still think she will turn out to be some kind of ultimate weapon.
Crack theory number 13: The Valeyard. Don't ask me how. Or some other avatar or aspect of the Doctor.
Crack theory number 14: The Doctor's sister. He's half-human so could actually have a half-sister. But then there's a whole incest thing going on with the kisses... which... never mind. Though they did say it was reminiscent of The Empire Strikes Back.
Crack theory number 15: Someone who also is pregnant, with the Doctor's baby, and the child from the orphanage is NOT Melody Pond.
Crack theory number 16: The Doctor's Jailer. Don't ask me how or why.
Crack theory number 17: The Matrix of Gallifrey, personified.
Who and/or what is the Silence?
Crack theory number 18: Ancient vampires
Crack theory number 19: This whole world has been an alternate universe, recreated not quite correctly from Amy Pond's head since the Pandorica opened (a reference to it being thrown into an exploding TARDIS and not to it being opened up to trap the Doctor), and the Silence are the memories of the real universe that needs to reassert itself, which the Doctor has been thwarting, so really he's been on the wrong side all along.
Crack theory number 20: Agents of Omega who have been meddling in the Doctor's life since he looked into the Great Untempered Schism.
Any other "jaw-dropping revelations"?
Crack theory number 21: Rory is a Time Lord.
Crack theory number 22: The Doctor isn't.
Right. Rambling. Will stop now.
