{{quote|'''Mysterious Voice''': ''Silence will fall...''}}
* The destruction will be caused by the TARDIS exploding. We saw the fragment in [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E09 Cold Blood|"Cold Blood"]], we saw the painting at the beginning of the episode.
* Someone has taken control of the TARDIS and is making it
{{quote|'''River''': Someone else is flying it. An external force.}}
* So, who can operate the TARDIS well enough to cause it to explode and destroy the Universe? The Dalek Supreme has something to say on this topic:
Line 23:
** Why? [[For the Evulz|Because he's a dick.]]
*** Specifically, he's a dick because of all the [[The Woobie|pain the Doctor's suffered]], and wants to erase time [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|so he no longer has to be the tragic hero.]]
** How is he able to do all this when he's only a manifestation of the Doctor's dark impulses? [[Fridge Logic|...yeah, okay, good point]] [[Talking to Themself|self]]. Maybe he was able to manifest his own form at some point in the Doctor's relative future. Or perhaps he's inhabiting the
*** Or maybe the Doctor was lying.
*** Notes for this theory: River said she was taught to fly the TARDIS by the best in The Time of Angels. Yet she also says "Pity you were busy that day." How to reconcile this statement with the one in the Pandorica? Perhaps the Dream Lord taught her, somehow?
Line 105:
== The cracks in time and space are being caused by [[The Order of the Stick|the Snarl]] escaping its prison. ==
One part [[Continuity Snarl]]
* Considering that the Doctor actually discussed the continuity issues of the Cyberking in Victorian London, this actually seems quite plausible. Not necisarilly THE Snarl, but something like it.
Line 190:
== The destruction of the TARDIS was an assassination attempt [[Gone Horribly Wrong]] ==
As of the end of Season 6, we now know that the Silence are not [[Omnicidal Maniac
Line 291:
* Rory's badge is 20 years out of date.
* Leadworth cannot engender life: the duck pond has no ducks.
* It all adds up to Leadworth being held unnaturally in
* Leadworth seems to be culturally frozen in the year 1996, despite having the technology of 2010. This may be because Leadworth is the closest thing Eleven has to an ideal permanent residence (The neighborhoods of Craig and Vincent are likely second-best). Eleven has a love/hate relationship with all of the places in which he lives, especially the TARDIS herself. His hate for the TARDIS' destinations manifests itself as Time Cracks that suck the life, passion, happiness, and existence out of every place he goes. The technology of these places remains modern, because Eleven has no problem with the strength of his neocortex (other than the fact that his amygdala keeps interfering with its functioning).
Line 499:
** I get my knowledge of Arthurian myth from [[The Other Wiki]] but it claims that the characters were conflated in some sources.
* King Arthur, if he ever existed, came after the Roman occupation had ended, and fought against the Saxon invaders; that's as old as the story can possibly be stretched, certainly not to the Roman times.
* Depending on how much we can take from the original run, it was already established that the Doctor was
== Rory is not coming back, and Amy will be killed in the finale. ==
Line 523:
Consequently, everything in this season after the first few minutes of the first episode will have been a decoy, the adventures of a Doctor who never should have been, and the show will continue with the other Doctor for the rest of its run. And one day, likely in his twelfth incarnation, he'll see the Dream Lord smiling at him in his reflection, and it'll be time for them to handle that.
** You are correct about Eleven's character development, but you have made the typical mistake of getting the numbers wrong. The Eleventh Doctor signed a five-year contract with the BBC. Although Eleven's next regeneration will bring the Whoniverse into balance, it will not make Eleven happy. Instead, it will give him a more ambiguous personality (as is seen in Jack Harkness and Rory Pond). He will feel incredibly confused. This is when the Master comes into the picture. The Master is an [[Author Avatar]] of Steven Moffat. The Master deliberately created the Eleventh Doctor as a way of de-sterilizing the Whoniverse, and undoing the damage of the Rassilon Era. Rassilon sterilized the Time Lords and prevented Time Lords from reaching their full potential by instilling the Time Lord race with the following genetic programming: Regenerate only twelve times, and do not regenerate unless the need is dire. Do not interfere with the Whoniverse. Merely watch it helplessly while it destroys itself. Rassilon created the first Whoniverse with a SQUICK WARNING: nocturnal emission. He has regretted the creation of the Whoniverse ever since. That's right. Steven Moffat's Whoniverse is the same as Douglas Adams' Universe. The Fourty-second Doctor shall be Arthur Dent. When that happens, the meaning of life shall be 42, because an orgy of 42 people will be required to reboot the universe. In the mean time, the meaning of life is Eleven. The Master intended Eleven to clean up the Whoniverse by dumping all of its Yang force into Pete's World, and then experiencing the pain of both Leadworth, and the London of Pete's World (I suspect these towns are the exact same place). In the Series Seven Climax, Eleven shall re-integrate the Series 5 Whoniverse with Pete's World by screwing the Kings Arms Football Team. (Seven of these people are also

Line 569:
But look at what evidence he'd got. As far as the Doctor knows the Angels have a habit of turning into stones when the only witness around is not looking. Not exactly familiar with the [[Fourth Wall]] and the thousands of tropers behind it, he jumps to the best conclusion at hand. Sensible enough?
[[Foreshadowing|Just wait for the next time the stakes rest on his educated guess.]]<ref>
* Support: In "Amy's Choice," Amy questions The Doctor on whether cold burning suns could actually exists. He's particularly flustered at the time and snaps at her: " I don't know! Why do people always think I know these things!?"
* Who says that Ten was right? As far as we can tell, everything he knows about the Angels in Blink he learned from a [[Stable Time Loop]]. There's no good reason that any non-essential knowledge [[Ontological Paradox

Line 587:
{{quote|''There was a goblin. Or a trickster, or a warrior. A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos.''}}
** Every ''[[Doctor Who]]'' villain in the known universe would '''absolutely''' show up if they know that someone already had the Doctor locked up in a cage.
** It explains how River could kill the greatest man she'd ever
** This one's confirmed...[[From a Certain Point of View|in a certain sense.]]
* '''...The Black Guardian.'''
Line 701:
The Doctor is now locked in the Pandorica. But what's to stop this second Doctor sorting things out? No-one woud have to realise, at least not until the end of the episode where he would have to get them to let him out of the Pandorica (this works best if you assume the duplicate is his future self).
* ''Confirmed'', but the truth is more mundane. It's a set of [[Stable Time Loop
Line 740:
== The TARDIS is evil ==
Remember the psychic pollen? The stuff that draws out your darkest side, created the Dream Lord, all that? Got into the TARDIS's rotors? Oh, yeah, and remember that the TARDIS is ''sentient''? The TARDIS is currently under the influence of its evil side, its equivalent of the Dream Lord. When it started behaving weirdly, taking River Song to the wrong time, locking her in, and then exploding in a cataclysmic universe-destroying
** Holy crap, this is brilliant! It makes so much sense!
** It actually does, I agree. Matt Smith apparently said in one panel that the [[Big Bad]] of the season was in the first episode "but not in a conventional way," the TARDIS has certainly taken some abuse from the Doctor over the years (intentional or not, that could cause some bitterness), and... the TARDIS never died in the 2015 Leadworth dream. It could still be dreaming while its dark side takes over.
Line 757:
* "CLOTHES ON JOHN"? ...so Captain Jack is gonna turn up and '''not''' take his pants off?
** Yes. The new Whoniverse is a Mirror Universe. In the Series 5 Whoniverse, Eleven was biologically programmed to seduce people like Rory Pond or Jack Harkness. In the Series Shag Whoniverse, Jack Harkness is the only person who can refuse to have sex with Eleven, and Eleven is the only person who can refuse to have sex with Rory.
* CHEST JOHN LO
** OK. The big name I get out of it is Elton John; that leaves you with COSH, which doesn't make any particularly good words, which is unfortunate. You can also get STONE (which seems to link with the stone Dalek that's been seen) and that leaves you with LOCH JOHN. So god knows what's going on.
Line 766:
** '''Jossed''', and Amy's dad is played by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1546076/ ''Halcro'' Johnston], and he has been in some minor parts.
** Eh, it was a reasonable theory. Wikipedia was wrong, so it was based on incorrect information, but I feel my conclusions were reasonable given the available information.
*** You were almost correct actually! You just got the wrong Mr. Pond! The mid-series cliffhanger involves Rory Pond snogging Eleven against the wall of the TARDIS. His reason? He thinks that he and Eleven need to move past their internalized homophobia. Technically, Eleven has already moved past this mentally, but he has not accepted Rory's existence emotionally. The Whoniverse is not fixed. It is a Pete's World with all the sadness dumped into the Series 5 Whoniverse. Even after the "Flesh and Stone" kiss, the Eleventh Doctor felt comfortable in his role. For Eleven, the "Flesh and Stone" snog was a localized Time Loop and out-of-body experience, so Eleven had as much time as he wanted to examine the situation. He determined that there was a 50% chance of Amy's plotline having a happy ending, and decided that 50% was acceptable odds. Eleven may have been a lot more scared of the snog with Rory (which I like to call the "Stone and Flesh" cliffhanger). This would explain why it was uncertain for a few weeks in October
*** Mid-series cliffhanger nonsense Jossed.
*** As of "The Wedding of River Song" we've got ''another'' Mr. Pond, who has far more potential for villainy than the other two...
Line 913:
* ...damn, that actually makes sense!
== Three of the Five Arc Phrases from Series Five are
"The Beast Below"
Line 1,045:
** Probably not, given that Moffat seems to like Rose a lot, some "clingy" jokes aside.
* The "Cracks in Time" [[Myth Arc]] has the rather convenient side effect of completely erasing the fannish silliness that was ''The Stolen Earth/Journey's End'' and the historically incompatible ending to ''The Next Doctor''.
* Not only are the old-style Daleks killed
** That's...not what happened. At best, that's a white lie. "Running away" sounds like a loss.
* Shipping is punted out the window and then shot at, with lasers. The Doctor reacts with abject horror to Amy's come-ons (which, on her part, are pretty poorly thought out), doesn't appreciate Amy's fangirlish insistence that he and River will eventually get married, and generally takes any chance he can get to tactfully imply that this incarnation doesn't find [[Interspecies Romance]] appealing in the slightest. [[Married to the Job|He does enjoy flirting with]] [[Cargo Ship|The TARDIS]], though.
