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.

Rumors

  • The Doctor's perceived regeneration is actually a disguised Dalek transmat, which forms part of a plot by Davros to bring the Doctor to the Crucible as part of his wider plans, whilst leaving a genetically-engineered impostor aboard the TARDIS. (Another clue that the Doctor may not regenerate yet is the fact that River Song recognises the 10th Doctor, indicating that he meets her before he regenerates).
  • 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.The Master said he was there when the Daleks took the Cruciform, not Crucible.
  • 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. Harriet Jones is not a 'faithful companion' as the prophecy predicted as the doctor was deliberately responsible for her downfall as P.M.
  • Harriet Jones escaped just before being exterminated via teleport. After Rose teleports away from the Noble's house, Wilf and Sylvia's eyes widen as if someone else took Rose's place. Since we didn't see her exterminated, she used technology from the Copper Foundation to teleport away and the teleport locked onto the teleport signal which Rose used and allowed Harriet to land in the Noble Home.
  • Gallifrey is restored. Highly unlikely. Every reference to the loss of Gallifrey is that it was destroyed (or "burned"), not missing as the other planets are. In addition, all 27 missing planets were identified at the Shadow Proclamation (presumably - three of them were speculations of the Doctor's behalf).
  • Rose dies. Unlikely, as her farewell to the Doctor and Donna has been filmed showing them at Bad Wolf Bay.
  • Donna dies. This had been foreshadowed in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, although Donna did already "die" in Turn Left. But then there was the "Sorry for your loss" line in The Stolen Earth, this could be Donna's memory loss.
  • Martha dies. Possible as the weapon she has (The Ostenhagen key) is rumoured to be a suicide weapon.
  • The TARDIS is destroyed or sacrifices itself. Dalek Caan's insane rantings of "prophecy" states that the Doctor's "most faithful companion" would die. This would seem to be the TARDIS, as the TARDIS is indeed a living organism. Possibly supported by video of the TARDIS in flames flying into an "exhaust port" on a fortified moon with only Donna aboard in the Official BBC Trailer for Journey's EndUnlikly as pictures on the internet indicate that the TARDIS is in the Christmas special, as well as the Proms special. And if the TARDIS is gone then it's the end of Doctor Who itself. Not neccesarily there were more TARDISes before the war maybe Davros captured one
  • The Osterhagen key is either a reset button or a suicide weapon. Hopefully, it's not the reset button. Also, why would Harriet Jones of all people be opposed to using a reset button?
  • Assuming the ambiguous theories of a 'botched regeneration' are plausible, we could be seeing an early version of the Valeyard. In The 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 Sixth Doctor used against the Valeyard in 'The Trial of a Time Lord').
  • K-9 makes an appearance. Likely as we know Sarah Jane Smith survives, and K-9 could save her.
  • The doctor's hand is still in the jar, and is still bubbling, as we were pointedly reminded in a shot near the start of the previous episode. This could prevent him changing form, or affect the regeneration in some fashion.
  • Sylvester McCoy to make a surprise reappearance... He was interviewed as part of Doctor Who Confidential for "The Stolen Earth" in his seventh Doctor costume, whereas Peter Davison was interviewed in "Civilian" clothing, rather than his cricket gear of the fifth Doctor. - perhaps an unsubtle hint relating to a botched/inverted regeneration. We've never seen the Doctor executed by a Dalek before (or have we?), perhaps he could go back a few incarnations?
  • Dalek Caan in the previous episode talks of the coming Doctor as the "threefold man". This could give us a clue. We may well have three doctors in this episode. Perhaps this could include the Doctor's Daughter; Jenny, as she is in effect a clone of the Doctor, and therefore a part of The Doctor himself.
  • Dalek Caan's insane rantings of "prophecy" states that the Doctor's "most faithful companion" would die. This would seem to be Capt. Jack Harkness as he has been there for 3 out of 4 final stories, but can also die as often as RTD requires.Dalek Caan's prophecy-Isn't Sarah-Jane the most loyal as she did wait all those years to see him again?. No Jack waited over 100 years to meet the right Doctor at the right time, meaning that he out of all the companions is also the most likely to know about future Doctors. Jack spoke about the regeneration process but he was not present on screen for the last regeneration. He has the best understanding of time and may well have travelled with a future Doctor, like River Song, just not talked about it.It could be Donna as she did spend alot of time and effort looking for him, or even Rose she did cross an entire universe to find him
  • Again we're told in the previous episode that there's something on Donna's back - after the events of Turn Left (and also long before, in Planet of the Ood). This gives a means to do a "reset" as the entire season could itself be an aberrant timeline being ridden by another time beetle. - Though hopefully not, as that's almost as bad a writing as "You mean it was all a dream?" The Shadow Proclamation said there WAS something on her back. The Time Beetle is dead and everything that's happened is happening in the true reality
  • Davros is working for the darkness, who is in fact the black guardian Davros says he created the darkness so how could he be working for 'it'. Also, why would Davros want to work for *anyone*?
  • In The Stolen Earth when Donna is sitting on the stairs of the Shadow Proclamation she is seen wearing a large black ring, very possibly the same ring that was the Masters. Although it is unlikely he will appear, it may have something to do with the fact that it will be Donnas last episode.

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.
