:I'm inclined to think it is more literal—that it will be at the end of the 11th Doctor's run and that it will be his name (though, we might not hear his name, as it might simply be whispered to River). But, why might his name be important? One, it could implicate something along the lines of the [[Cartmel Masterplan]], that the Doctor is far more important to Time Lord society than people realize (without actually following the specifics of Cartmel's plan). Alternatively, his name might be important for other reasons. He might have, for instance, used his name as the key to the [[time-lock]] ending the [[Last Great Time War]], with it only opening if he spoke his own name. I suppose a third possibility is that the question lacked a comma, and should be "Doctor, who?", in which case we don't know the real question until we hear the longer question leading up to it. (I'm inclined against this, though, because the Doctor seemed to understand the implications of the question when he first heard it.) --[[Special:Contributions/96.22.51.89|96.22.51.89]]<sup>[[User talk:96.22.51.89#top|talk to me]]</sup> 15:40, June 17, 2012 (UTC) | :I'm inclined to think it is more literal—that it will be at the end of the 11th Doctor's run and that it will be his name (though, we might not hear his name, as it might simply be whispered to River).

:Hope I don't sound too stupid, but is the question actually "Doctor who?" or "Doctor, Who?"[[Special:Contributions/24.84.182.90|24.84.182.90]] | :Hope I don't sound too stupid, but is the question actually "Doctor who?" or "Doctor, Who?"[[Special:Contributions/24.84.182.90|24.84.182.90]][[User:Aok951|Aok951]] [[User talk:Aok951|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:33, September 9, 2012 (UTC) | ||
