And the greatest cliffhanger since the series came back that we was told to expect that needed a 3 month break to digest was where exacally?

Not exacally the great change there lives forever cliffhanger like they wanted us to expect was it?. Dont get me wrong it was a great episode, but please give a propper reason to have a mid series break than the ultimate cliffhanger it was'nt.

Then why did the Doctor go funny when she told him who she was. (he said something along the lines " but we (kissing action)"

Maybe because he has just found out that he has kissed his friend's daughter?

He isn't the father, Rory is.

So... Spacesuit-Girl = River/Melody too?

Fits, but...

When did The Silence take her & why stick her in a spacesuit?

Why didn't River remember? [Or did she, but just didn't let on]

One popular theory about River's crime is that she killed the Doctor... which her being the spacesuit-girl would fit with... but why? And how will they get around the future-Doctor's death, given that killing off Matt Smith's Doctor permanently (& therefore also stopping there being any after him) wouldn't be very good for the series.

I hope SM answers everything in the second half of the series.

Right at the end for the majority of viewers, I suspect, who actually had no clue because they don't read internet forums that speculate on these things

Plus.... nothing like a bit of hype

Any internet forums that anyone would have read would have given several "spoilers" as to the true identity. So there was never any single speculation to have said for sure to have spoilt it for anyone. And the itentity was not really mentioned as being the cliffhanger as such only that we were told we would find out the identity and that there would be this great cliffhanger. Dont think anyone said for sure they would be the same event?.

I hope everyone watched to the end of the credits, btw.

Why ?

Tezcatlipoca · 04-06-2011, 20:59

There was a very brief teaser for the next episode.

Somehow I doubt even timelords commit incest.

The time vortex didn't "produce her". She is Amy and rory's child, the time vortex just time lorded her.

Blackened · 05-06-2011, 00:05

He did say 'during the "nuptials" '.
I'm confused about time lords committing incest though.

Pierre · 05-06-2011, 00:11

I'm very critical of this doctor,

However I really enjoyed this episode. I considered the possibility of Song being the girl from the first episode but couldn't say for certain.

I think the story of David tenant coming back interesting and highly plausible. Lot sure about peter davidson though

Because he kissed the daughter of his best friend.

River was the girl in the space suit and that's why it was hinted that she killed the doctor at some point, I guess.

She also has timelord DNA. Because when Amy and Rory had it away in the TARDIS while it was travelling in the time vortex some how it's DNA was altered.

So that does make river a timelord, sort of.

Everything certainly seems to point to the regenerating little girl being River.

I believe the Doctor said that Amy was taken before they went to America, so was their prisoner all this time. I'd have to surmise then, that the Silence only swapped pregnant Amy, and eye patch lady did the rest.

As for putting her in a spacesuit.. no definite thoughts on that, but.. There was a lot of talk about fashioning the baby into a weapon. The doctor was also described as a weapon, and i would guess that they would want to control their weapon. If it was known that the baby had "a time head" it's likely they wanted it for those qualities, especially the ability to fly a T.A.R.D.I.S. If you remember, we've so far seen 2 other T.A.R.D.I.S's, the first one in The Lodger episode, and the second in The Impossible Astronaut, which also happened to be the same location where the little girl in the spacesuit first appeared.

And a possible motivation for requiring their own Time Lord to pilot their knockoff T.A.R.D.I.S instead of one of their own people, could be that it's believed by those involved, that only a Time Lord can.. Remember The alliance believed that "Only the Doctor can fly the T.A.R.D.I.S" in The Pandorica Opens?

Anyways.. I think (for now at least) that baby River was taken, conditioned (similar to what happened to Captain Jack's brother Gray in Torchwood) and while under the big bad's control, kills the Flesh Doctor (who has been playing decoy for our Doctor) at least until she is eventually freed by our Doctor. Her ending up in the Stormcage, might be because those who sentence her, recognize that the Flesh doctor was a real person in his own right?

One thing I'm still stuck on, is that when the Doctor and River were examining the empty space suit, it was mentioned that when the little girl got scared, the suit's communication systems automatically established contact with the most powerful person in the land, in this case, the President of the United States. Is it me, or does this seem like a pretty dumb feature to incorporate into the suit of someone who should be keeping a ridiculously low profile? The only thing i can think of, is that the Doctor travels back and rigs it to do that, at a later date..
