*The Doctor's perceived regeneration is actually part of a plot by Davros to [[transmat]] the Doctor to the crucible, leaving an impostor aboard the [[TARDIS]].
* The Crucible is the space station in the centre of the 27 planets, the planets generating power for it. The Master "was there when the Daleks took the Crucible" during the Time War, hinting that it is Time Lord technology (all-too-similar to the Genesis Ark from [[Doomsday]]). The Doctor is transported there, as well as Sarah-Jane (and other Children of Time) as they are "one step closer to the Doctor".  Speculation for the purpose of the Crucible is Davros' base of operations.

*There will be a new Doctor, as the cliffhanger for the previous episode showed the Doctor regenerating. ''Highly unlikely as David Tennant confirmed he would be in the specials in 2009. If he did regenerate there would be a paradox with River Song and she knew everything that happens to him so The Doctor will NOT regenerate into another body, he'll just heal himself. This is called a [[Botched regeneration]].'' Would this not make Tennant the tenth and eleventh doctors?
* There are rumors that [[Harriet Jones]] is imprisoned,instead of exterminated as it appeared. However, this is unlikely. ''Actually this is possible, as we know Sarah Jane will survive, why not Harriet Jones, perhaps the Harriet Jones to Dalek rumour is still true, however she doesn't do it willingly. RTD said that a female we all know very well will die. This is likely to have been Harriet Jones, as everytime she introduces herself, the response is "Yes, we know who you are" including the Daleks.''

*If the rumour is true that the Doctor is split in two, as part of his botched regeneration, then [[Gallifrey]] could be restored by the Doctor going back to the Time War and saving it. This would send the Doctor mad, but there would be another Doctor, because of the botched regeneration. ''Providing the botched regeneration clones the Doctor, not splits him in two, then this is likely.'' and it's possible this is similar to Martha's clone. (Except the Doctor will do something with his clone, unlikely he'll kill it.)
* The Osterhagen key is either a reset button or a suicide weapon.

* Donna could not be the Rani, ''or'' you could be an idiot!
* Donna could be Romana.  ''This rumor emanates from the presence of Richard Dawkins in the episode; he is married to Lalla Ward, the last actor to play Romana, and his cameo shows him being interviewed about an astronomy/astrophysics issue despite his field being biology.  This is seen by some as a "hint".  While ''possible'', the truth of this rumor is probably also unlikely.'' ''Maybe (in story) Richard Dawkins just happens to have been on a programme about biology or being interviewed about God Delusion stuff, when the Earth was stolen, and the producers of the programme just turned to him as the "only scientist in the room"''
* Assuming the ambiguous theories of a 'botched regeneration' are plausible, any chance we could be seeing an early version of the [[Valeyard]]? In [[Trial Of A Time Lord]], the Valeyard is seen as an incarnation of the potentially evil side of the Doctor between the twelfth and thirteenth regenerations. Though a couple of regenerations early, the "Osterhagen key" roughly translates as 'graveyard' or 'boneyard' (insults that the [[Fourth Doctor]] used against the Valeyard in '[[The Trial of a Time Lord]]').

Story notes

  • According to DWM this is the biggest finale of Doctor Who ever.
  • Blue Peter presenter Gethin Jones operates a Dalek in this episode, returning to Doctor Who since his brief appearance as a Cyberman in The Age of Steel.
  • In the last episode the doctor said a long time ago a race tried to move the Earth as well. This could be a reference to The Dalek Invasion Earth or the Time Lord High Council moving Earth in Colin Baker's last episode as the Doctor, The Ultimate Foe.
  • 92% of people on this page cannot wait for the broadcast. Suspect that's a low estimate. Not going to lie, I'm actually peeing myself a little.

Dalek television stories
For the purposes of this list, a "Dalek story" is one in which one living, authentic Dalek plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Space Museum are not counted due to the Daleks' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories, while stories such as The Wheel in Space and The Waters of Mars are absent due to the Daleks' only contribution being references to past Dalek stories. Stories like The Wedding of River Song, Hell Bent, Once, Upon Time and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Daleks' appearance being restricted to a single scene of no consequence to the plot of the story, while the TV movie is also absent due to the Daleks only being heard from off-screen.
