Doctor Who: Crackpot Theory #4815162342

May 05, 2013 01:01

me_llamo_nic: That "attempt to build a TARDIS" has been driving me mad ever since "The Lodger" first aired and even the S6 opener didn't completely satisfy my curiosity. An Omega story would probably tie a nice little bow on it.

WHAT THE HELL IS ON THAT TREE?
*screams*

Oh god. That's...

I'll get back to you.

Lots of good stuff in your theory, although I have a slightly different one, wherein the only time the Doctor (a Time Lord) can speak his name is when he bonds with a TARDIS. Insert Clara, etc.

Not sure where that is going though, so never developed it further.

Mostly... BEETLE ON TREE HOLY GOD! /o\

Hmm...I suppose I did neglect "there's only one time I could." I think that perhaps the Doctor is physically capable of speaking his name any time he likes, but that emotionally, he feels he could only ever tell someone that he has married. Perhaps Eleven assumed that as well...until he learned about Trenzalore. ... Yeah, I'm reaching now.

A theory I can put forth with slightly more confidence is that we might get Clara's mother back. Perhaps she wasn't supposed to die, but time went wrong because of the beetle. And that's where "blood calling to blood" will come back into play.

I've never guessed anything else correctly though. Not before an episode aired anyway. Best I've ever managed is to guess something a few scenes away, during the episode. If any part of any of my theories actually comes to pass, I may have to faint.

BEETLE ON TREE HOLY GOD! /o\

It's like a perception filter? I keep thinking I can see it out of the corner of my eye, but when I turn there's nothing there. And the annoying thing is that the answer will be beautiful and elegant...

I've pondered this myself. Mostly because of the weight that seems attached to 'I will always be there'. The blood calling to blood I generally assign to Doctor/River/Clara/TARDIS. (Everyone is related!)

Well SOMETHING is messing around with her life. Good to have it confirmed.
