Will The Doctor Die? (Spoilers)
Posted on Monday, September 26, 2011 in culture, television
Personally I’m going to go with ‘no’, but it’ll be interesting to see how we’re going to get there. My theories (in addition to what we know) are:
- The object of Moffat’s run so far has been to cut the godlike RTD figure down – his ‘death’ will be sleight of hand;
- The Doctor knew in episode 1 that the Impossible Astronaut was River Song, and so did her ‘present’ incarnation;
- The Doctor and River Song both lie – just because we’re still being led to think that it’s the Doctor who’s shot by River Song, it doesn’t mean it’s not a Ganger.
My questions however remain:
- What was the point of rebooting the universe? Was that actually River blowing up the Tardis?
- ‘Silence Will Fall’, eh? So the whole thing has been about killing The Doctor? A simple yet dastardly plot? Is the assassination in America just a second attempt by the Silence movement?
- Who the hell is Madame Kovarian?
Comments and theories welcome!

Most importantly on the third point, the Doctor has throughout the series emphasised that:
“The Doctor lies”.
And I wonder, given those hints, what he’s lied about exactly. And remembering that Moffat last year had fun showing us different versions of the Doctor, sometimes within the same episodes, has he done that this time too?
