Season 6 Doctor Who Predictions (Part 3) Or Aerliss Gives Herself A Headache (Part 3)

I’m not going to do an in depth review of A Good Man Goes To War (S06E07). I’ll just say a a few things. It had great writing, great performances but crappy plot. It was ret-con central. I am REALLY hoping the ret-cons turn out to be not ret-cons, that Moffat is pulling a fast one again and fooling us all big time.

If Rory is River’s father then why didn’t she recognise him in the Pandorica Opens? Why didn’t his presence as a centurion set off massive alarm bells for her? Why does she barely even acknowledge Amy in The Time of Angels? She lords her knowledge of the future over the Doctor and doesn’t manage to avoid spoilering Donna about her lack of presence with the Doctor in the future. But Amy? Not even a comment about how they’re going to have fun together in the future. Nothing at all.

It all smacks of ret-con. It smacks of ret-con and she’s not dead. River’s going to regenerate in the library she died in, in Forest of the Dead. She’s going to find the diary that Tenth left there, along with the sonic screwdriver and then throw herself off that balcony so the Doctor can swoop in and catch her in the TARDIS again.

Eugh. Let me just quote myself from the first set of predictions;

What about the idea that River is TLTL? Just kill me. If she gets ret-conned as a Time Lord I’m giving up on Doctor Who (again). She died. She is dead and gone. I will not have her helping the Doctor repopulate the universe with Time Lords. Ew.

*headdesk* ‘Nuff said.

I Am Cassandra, Watch Me Weep

There isn’t really very much left to predict, except a few things surrounding River. We still don’t know who taught her to fly the TARDIS or who she kills. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that it’s Rory on both counts.

She kills the greatest man she ever knew, and claims she was taught to fly the TARDIS by the best but that it wasn’t the Doctor. Who is the greatest man that a person might know, especially in a life such as the one River might lead? Her father. Who is her father, or at least the man who is probably going to be treated as her father? Rory. Who dies a lot? Rory. Who was the real good man that went to war? Rory. And who is reminded of his existence as a nurse and that nurses don’t survive on battlefields? Rory (the Sontaran nurse says as much in A Good Man Goes To War, in case you missed it).

Yeah, she’s gonna kill Rory.

Who is Madam Kovarian?

Honestly, I’m not sure that there’s anything to indicate that she’s someone we already know. I’m holding out hope that she’s the Rani still, just because, you know; THE RANI! Mad scientist, probably VERY irritated at the Doctor after that T-Rex incident and a woman of sever fashion sense.

Rani means “queen” in Hindi. Kova means crow in Hindi and in Hindu mythology the dead can take the form of a crow to receive food.

Just sayin’.

Two Doctors? Now That Was A Whole Other Birthday

I still very much think that Gangers are going to be involved, especially given the above line from River. Tennant and Davison’s names have now been removed from the cast lists at IMDB, but Frances Barber’s (Kovarian) name has also been removed from all the episode she had been listed in. Suspicious?

The Silence is still going to come (as Amy brings them, apparently) and they have yet to fall. The Silence that Canton shoots says “the Silence will fall” but not as though it is prediction but as a threat.

Both seasons are interlinked. Whoever was flying the TARDIS in The Pandorica Opens caused the explosion that created The Crack, and whoever they were they are likely to be the ones who said “the Silence will fall,” when a crack appeared on the screen of the TARDIS in the Pandorica Opens.

And So We Wait

I really think that we should be looking for more clues in both seasons. I haven’t watched The Lodger again (because I really don’t enjoy it) but I think that might just hold more clues for us. Doctor Who is set to return in September, so until then we can only watch and re-watch the last two seasons and keep our beady eyes open for more inconsistencies (ones that don’t fit in with the conclusion to Season 5).

Things like the final resting place of the  Headless Monks being mentioned in The Time Of Angels… 

Oh, and hello Jenny! We were wondering when you’d show up again.

Silly predictions?

I know I did these in the last two, but my stupid predictions are turning out to be somewhat accurate (again). I don’t want to play anymore.
