Umm... Who theories?

[tencrush]

Nah, actually, they're more sort of random thoughts on the Who finale.

• Okay, first off, I have no idea what's going on anymore, because that episode allegedly took place on April 19th 2011, the Doctor found himself a Stetson and was about to send the invites to River and... the Amy and Rory he just dropped off, the Amy and Rory who have ALREADY had invites and have ALREADY seen him die and THEN met the Doctor's wife and heard the word petrichor and did whatever it was that apparently made Amy a perfumier-slash-model. Or is this a Pre-S6 Amy and Rory whom we are about to invite to the Doctor's Death, and somehow in between S5 and 6 Amy became a perfumier-slash-model and made a perfume by that name? Kind of like Jack's coat in that flashback episode in Miracle Day, neither of those possibilities make any sort of sense, and with that my faith that Moffat's keeping tight and meticulous track of all the timey-wimey stuff he started is dwindling terribly. Suddenly I'm even less hopeful for the finale.


• Having said that, I do think there'll be a resolution on the stolen baby storyline and possibly even a reason as to why Amy and Rory seem so terribly unaffected by having their baby stolen in the first place. The whole parenthood thing has been laid on so thick in this series, that it's starting to look pretty unlikely that Amy and Rory's lack of emotion is some sort of oversight on the part of the writers. It must be part of a plan somehow. Right? I mean, dear God, please tell me I'm right.


• There'll be two Rivers at Lake Silencio, and taking into account that whole thing I typed up there about the invites, I wouldn't be suprised if there were two Amies and two Rories as well. I'm hoping that whatever it is, that Amy and Rory we've seen in the promo shoots are two people who haven't been picked up yet again by the Doctor, but who have actively gone out -themselves- to do whatever it is they're doing with those eyepatches on. That would make a nice change.


• The Doctor in Closing Time is 1103 years old. I still maintain that the 200 years or so that have passed since the 200-year-younger Doctor met Amy and Rory in that diner, passed in the time between A Good Man Goes to War and when the Doctor picks them up after the crop circle in Let's Kill Hitler. This is because a line like Amy's "You've had all summer" just strikes me as a total Moffat giveaway that The Doctor's been away a lot longer than that.


• My theory is still that there's a bait and switch going on, that time will have to be rewritten in order for the Doctor not to die, and in order for that to happen baby Melody needs to be returned to her parents, and when that happens I think we will be led to believe that this will rewrite the River we know and love out of existence, at which point it will turn out that the River we know and love is, in fact, the River that was raised by Amy and Rory. Or something. Apart from the whole parenthood theme this season, we've been shown a lot of the badassery and sonic-making and nazi-punching that Amy and Rory are capable of if left to their own devices, and I think the reason we've been shown those things is to bring us to the realisation that the River we know and love could plausibly be the product of Amy and Rory's upbringing. Just two normal people raising someone extraordinary. Anyway, I'd like it to be that, because I kind of thought that was what The God Complex was about, but because I'd like it to be that, it's probably not.


• I have no further theories, but there's Rory dressed like Action Man. So that makes it good no matter what happens, really. Hell yeah.

I think the Doctor will die forever and there will be no more stories ever again.
