=== Myths and Rumours ===
*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. Yet another, more conclusive clue, is that DT is appearing in all four specials in 2009: However the 'specials' could be an impressive misdirection to cover the fact of DT leaving the show in 2009 and there really will be a full series in 2009).
 
* 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. Besides, Caan's mentioning of the companion's death is after Harriet is attacked by the Daleks. We know from the static the others received, that Jones' computer was destroyed. This does not tell us anything about what happened to her.''  
*The Doctor will have to make an inevitable decision between two companions, deciding which companion will live and which will die.
* 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. However this is unlikely as Harriet's words to Jack do not indicate that she planned to survive her encounter with the Daleks. She also seems to accept her fate.'' ''But she could have said this as a red herring to return using her faked death as a cover in order to bring down the Daleks later on.''
 
*[[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). However, it could be restored like Davros. Why would Davros want to restore Gallifrey?''
*[[Mickey Smith]] or someone from [[Pete's World]]'s Torchwood will save Sarah Jane, Ianto and Gwen from the [[Daleks]]. ''This is likely as only one of the 'most faithful' companions would die - and no one else.''
*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.''
*The Doctor's regeneration is misleading: remember what happened with [[Jenny]]? She was shot but didn´t regenerate. Instead she recovered (see [[The Doctor's Daughter]]). ''But that was likely due to being within the first fifteen hours of that incarnation-Time Lords, after regenerating (or being created, in Jenny's case) ''Also keep in mind that The Doctor wasn't completely hit by the Dalek's beam. It only skimmed his arm, so his regeneration may still yet be misleading.
*Martha dies. ''Possible as the weapon she has (The [[Osterhagen 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 End]]'' Unlikely 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 necessarily there were more TARDISes before the war maybe Davros captured one. ''[[River Song]]'s Diary is styled in the same way as the TARDIS, meaning she must of seen it in the future when they do meet, so if it is destroyed it is somehow restore before their meeting. Also, if the Master escaped the Time War using a TARDIS it may still be in existence.''
*By rescuing Davros, Dalek Caan broke the lock on the time war. This may give the doctor an opportunity to save the Time Lords. ''RTD has said the Finale would be a "crash and burn" story so the ressurection of the Time Lords could be possible''
* 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? Is it possible that it may be linked to the TARDIS? [[UNIT]] know what the TARDIS is. Maybe it allows the stable use of a [[Paradox machine]] to be used to Earth's advantage. I know it sounds kind of weird, since Harriet Jone apposed it so much. But it may have been given to Martha as she has been inside the TARDIS. Is this Possible?  But if the key were supposed to be used in the TARDIS, then why did the General tell Martha to use it if she didn't find the Doctor? If she couldn't find the Doctor, she wouldn't be able to find the TARDIS either.''
 
* 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]]').
*The 27 planets are part of a machine that affects time and space. Davros is planning to use that machine to destroy reality. ''Very plausible as the Doctor himself stated the combination of planets was a "powerhouse", supporting the idea the planets are part of a grand scheme.''
* [[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.
*Since [[The Doctor]] didn´t obey the demands of the [[Shadow Proclamation]], it's possible that they could show up in order to arrest him. ''Unlikely, as the Medusa Cascade is 1 second out of phase with the rest of the Universe, and the TARDIS barely made it, so how could the Shadow Proclamation?''
* [[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?'' Sylvester McCoy wasn't wearing any version of his 7th Doctor costume in Doctor Who Confidential, although his hat is possibly the same one (as it originally belonged to him).  The block writing used for the "to be continued" at the end credits is reminiscent of Sylvester McCoy era.''
 
* 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. <i>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. (She is not a clone of the Doctor. She is his daughter. Granted, a daughter made using only his DNA, but she will still have different genes to him to due to processes relating to reproduction which are too complicated to go into here.)</i>
*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. Yet another, more conclusive clue, is that David Tennant is appearing in all four specials in 2009.
*[[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 traveled with a future Doctor, like River Song, just not talked about it.It could be Donna as she did spend a lot of time and effort looking for him, or even Rose she did cross an entire universe to find him. Rose also said to Donna in [[Turn Left]] that she is the "most important Human in all creation" as the Doctor owes his life to her and it would seem she is the most important at the moment. It is unlikely to be Captain Jack as it has been revealed that Captain Jack is the Doctors old friend [[Face of Boe]] which we seen die in another episode.''(Note Captain Jack is RUMORED to be "the real" Face of Boe, as this has yet to be confirmed.
 
*There are rumors that [[Harriet Jones]] is imprisoned,instead of exterminated as it appeared. However, this is unlikely.
 
*[[Gallifrey]] is restored. ''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). However, it could be restored like Davros.''
 
*Rose dies. ''This is unlikely - it is rumored that she will star in the Christmas special.
*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. As well, Donna expressed interest in staying with the Doctor forever. It is unlikely she would merely choose to return to her home.''
 
*Martha dies. ''Possible as the weapon she has (The [[Osterhagen key]]) is rumoured to be a suicide weapon. Martha could be the most faithful companion as that has had one of the most difficult journeys with the Doctor. She had to work as a house servant, journey across the world as a fugative for a year, become estranged from her family and the doctor had spurned her romantic advances.''
 
*The [[TARDIS]] is destroyed or sacrifices itself. [[Dalek Caan]]'s insane rantings of "prophecy" states that the "most faithful companion" would die, and most assume this means one of the Doctor's companions.  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 End]]'' Unlikely as pictures on the internet indicate that the TARDIS is in the Christmas special, as well as the Proms special''.  
 
*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. ''Unlikely as the rights to K-9 have been sold, meaning the BBC cannot use him.''
 
* 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. Since it contains his biological code and is part of his tenth incarnation, it may prevent him from changing form.  ''It was also bubbling in the background as his regeneration started.'' ''Another thought; the episode synopsis states that the Doctor is "helpless" in this episode. If he does not change form when regenerating, that could count as a botched regeneration. He had a bad enough time in The Christmas Invasion, so this might be even more traumatic.''
 
* [[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. This includes [[Jenny]], as she is in effect a clone of the Doctor, and therefore a part of [[The Doctor]] himself. ''Jenny is not a clone of the Doctor but his daughter born through asexual reproduction. She is still part of him, being his daughter, but she is not a clone of him.''
 
*[[Dalek Caan]]'s insane rantings of "prophecy" states "Death is coming.  Oh, I can see it.  Everlasting death for the most faithful companion". Most people have assumed this means the Doctor's companion.  <i>This may refer to Caan himself, as companion to Davros</i>
 
*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 [[The Fires of Pompeii]] and [[Planet of the Ood]]). This gives a means to do a "reset" as the entire season could itself be an aberrant time line being ridden by ''another'' time beetle. ''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.''
 
*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 Master's. Although it is unlikely he will appear, it may have something to do with the fact that it will be Donna's last episode. ''The Master's ring was VERY different to the one Donna was wearing. The Master's was green, whereas Donna's was black.
 
*When the Sub Wave network starts, there is a tone similar to that used by the Master's Archangel Network in the Series 3 finale, all possible hints at Donna having some level of involvement with The Master. ''The drumming sound when Donna is on the stairs is a heartbeat, possible a slight echoed beat of two hearts, but it's not the same as the Master's beat. Futhermore it is possible that the Arch Angel Network is still in use.''
 
*As Sarah Jane is about to be exterminated Mickey suddenly teleports and saves her while Jackie does the same with Torchwood. ''Possibly, although Jackie will probably have more help than being on her own to stop a Dalek invasion of Torchwood.''
 
*The events/characters of the "Trial of a Time Lord" may factor in--maybe the Valeyard.  The Doctor mentioned in "The Stolen Earth" that the earth had been moved once before, and the only time we've seen that happen was in "Trial of a Time Lord."  ''Actually, the Doctor states that someone attempted to move the Earth before, but states that it couldn't have been them.  He is, of course, referring to the events of [[Dalek Invasion of the Earth]] in which the Daleks attempt to convert the Earth into an interstellar war machine.''


*Ostenhagen key could quite possibly be a self-destruct function for the earth. ''Highly unlikely, as when Martha was given the key, her general suggested that it was for the good of the human race rather than its destruction.''
* The 'most faithful' companion who will die has to be K9: Dogs are always 'most faithful'.


*Harriet Jones is infact in conniving with the Daleks against the Doctor. She used the subwave network on Davros' orders to bring the Doctor to earth. The warning not to use the key was given on Davros' request as it would destroy Daleks. ''Unlikely, as Penelope Wilton is not credited to appear in this episode. Furthermore Martha was unwilling the use the key when it was given to her. Also, Harriet Jones KNOWS they can beat the Daleks, so why destroy the earth? She knows what the key does.''
* 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 time line 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.''


*The TARDIS sacrafices itself, and in some way, Donna saves it by fusing herself with the heart, becoming the new TARDIS heart. Support for this theory being that she's mentioned many times that she " wants to travel with the Doctor forever." What better way? Also, in the BBC trailer for Journey's End, she's seen alone in the TARDIS, it being on fire and in danger. The fortune teller in Turn Left, in fear, asked her, "What will you become?" In The Stolen Earth, the lady at the Shadow Proclamation building said, " I'm sorry for your loss," a possible loss of humanity or freedom. ''This would justify the phrase "'everlasting' death for the companion" by Dalek Caan.  As well, it is similar to the pre-release speculations surrounding [[Astrid]], suggesting that her character was, in fact, the heart of the TARDIS. River Song also said "Oh, YOU'RE Donna." indicating some significance - possibly related to seeing Donna before fusing with the TARDIS.''
*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 Master's. Although it is unlikely he will appear, it may have something to do with the fact that it will be Donna's last episode. ''The Master's ring was VERY different to the one Donna was wearing. The Master's was green, whereas Donna's was black.''
 
*The Doctor will regenerate, however the 1 second lapse in the Medusa Cascade will reset his regeneration, giving the Doctor(and us) an insight into what (or who) his next form will be. Unlikely, as a regeneration must fully finish or be botched. Also Unlikely, as it is known DT will return in 2010 as the Doctor. ''Really? That's still not been confirmed. Yes it has.'' '' David Tennant has been confirmed for the 2009 specials not the 2010 series. It sounds like the original claim of 2010 was an honest date error about the specials rather than belief that DT is officially back for 2010 which has not yet been confirmed (either way)''
*There may be something related to Rose's looking in the heart of the TARDIS back with the ninth doctor. I say this because when she destroyed the Daleks she said,"You are tiny. I can see the whole of time and space, every single atom of your existence, and I divide them.  Everything must come to dust. All things, everything dies." This seems similar to the Davros quote above so it may tie in.
 
*Donna unwittingly activates the Ostenhagen Key, which defeats [[Davros]] and destroys all the [[Daleks]]. The Doctor is forced to remove her memories of this event as she is overcome with remorse for destroying an entire race. ''Unlikely as Martha is in possession of the key, and due to the danger of using, she is unlikely to put it in a place where Donna could activate it.''
 
*There is some speculation about whether Donna's Ring is the Master's. It would seem that most people were saying "Why Would Donna even be there". Is it possible a [[Time Beetle]] was used on Donna to make her find it? The Doctor mentioned in [[Turn Left]] that usually "The Universe makes up for the little changes" (or something similar) . So i'm not suggesting that this is another parallel world. All the evidence points towards Donna not being fully "human". And the women from the Shadow Proclamation on [[The Stolen Earth]] could have been talking about a different beetle to that in [[Turn Left]], as in the "original world" it would seem the beetle was on her back for only a few seconds.
 
*The word 'osterhagen' is an anagram spelling 'earths gone' this could be a experimental teleportation devices but on a larger scale, like “Project Indigo”. This could be why Harriet Jones did not want to use it.
 
*'''The Osterhagen Key is a hard drive with the [[Skasas Paradigm]] saved onto it, and is thus a reset button. Harriet Jones and Martha didn't want to use it because there would be no real way for a human to control how the universe would be reshaped by its use.'''
 
*A double heart beat is briefly heard when Donna is fonding her ring, as mentioned above. In Italian, "Donna" means "woman", her much mentioned career of "temp" is a prefix in English and Latin meaning "time", and "Noble" can encompass "Lady" or "Lord". Put these points together, and you get the possibility of a Chameleon Arc ring hiding Donna's true persona as a "Woman Time Lord".  Also one of the [[Shadow Architects]] told her she was something new, most likely meaning human but not human.  Also in [[Turn Left]] the fortune teller asks "What will you become?" further leading people to believe that Donna isn't human.  ''It is perhaps possible that she is Romana, hidden on Earth during the Time War for her own safety.  Catherine Tate has said she will not be coming back as Donna, so maybe she regenerates.''
 
*Donna Noble takes the TARDIS on a suicide mission, resulting in Donna's death and the TARDIS' destruction. This is a back door-plot for the Doctor taking the growing TARDIS on Jack Harkness' desk at the Hub and making it into a new and full grown one for use in Series 5.
 
*Various rumors also state Mickey Smith and Martha Jones join Jack Harkness at Torchwood to replace Owen Harper and Toshiko Sato after their deaths.
 
<!--add rumours above here leaving the header below in place-->


*When Donna is sitting on the stairs, there is a drumming sound, right before the Shadow Proclamation Woman talks to her about becoming something new.  She then wipes her eyes, showing off a very large black ring (which is not new; it has been on Donna's hand in almost every episode).  As well, when the Sub Wave network starts, there is a tone similar to that used by the Master's Archangel Network in the Series 3 finale, all possible hints at Donna having some level of involvement with The Master. ''The drumming sound when Donna is on the stairs is a heartbeat, possible a slight echoed beat of two hearts, but it's not the same as the Master's beat.''
*As Sarah Jane is about to be exterminated Mickey suddenly teleports and saves her while Jackie does the same with Torchwood
*Davros actually works for Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Leader of the Darkness
*After the events of Voyage of the Damned, Prince Philip murders Queen Elizabeth II to Become King, them makes contact and Employs Davros to help him take over the entire universe
*Prince Philip is or leads the darkness
*Prince Philip made the Crucible
*The reason why the daleks are enslaving the humans is because Prince Philip want to convert them to an army of Philip Troopers (Genetically modified humans, who look identical and think like Prince Philip, these creatures are created in a similar fashion to Pig slaves)
*The reason why "The bees are dissapearing" is because, Prince Philip wants to harvest them for honey for his new product, 'Duchy Originals Honey Nut Cookies'.
*Prince Philip was behind the scenes of Torchwood episodes 'Captain Jack Harkness' and 'End of Days’. Bilis Manger works for Prince Philip
* The Trickster is in fact Prince Philip

Rumours

  • 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. Yet another, more conclusive clue, is that DT is appearing in all four specials in 2009: However the 'specials' could be an impressive misdirection to cover the fact of DT leaving the show in 2009 and there really will be a full series in 2009).
  • 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. Besides, Caan's mentioning of the companion's death is after Harriet is attacked by the Daleks. We know from the static the others received, that Jones' computer was destroyed. This does not tell us anything about what happened to her.
  • 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. However this is unlikely as Harriet's words to Jack do not indicate that she planned to survive her encounter with the Daleks. She also seems to accept her fate. But she could have said this as a red herring to return using her faked death as a cover in order to bring down the Daleks later on.
  • 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). However, it could be restored like Davros. Why would Davros want to restore Gallifrey?
  • 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 Osterhagen 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 End Unlikely 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 necessarily there were more TARDISes before the war maybe Davros captured one. River Song's Diary is styled in the same way as the TARDIS, meaning she must of seen it in the future when they do meet, so if it is destroyed it is somehow restore before their meeting. Also, if the Master escaped the Time War using a TARDIS it may still be in existence.
  • 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? Is it possible that it may be linked to the TARDIS? UNIT know what the TARDIS is. Maybe it allows the stable use of a Paradox machine to be used to Earth's advantage. I know it sounds kind of weird, since Harriet Jone apposed it so much. But it may have been given to Martha as she has been inside the TARDIS. Is this Possible? But if the key were supposed to be used in the TARDIS, then why did the General tell Martha to use it if she didn't find the Doctor? If she couldn't find the Doctor, she wouldn't be able to find the TARDIS either.
  • 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? Sylvester McCoy wasn't wearing any version of his 7th Doctor costume in Doctor Who Confidential, although his hat is possibly the same one (as it originally belonged to him). The block writing used for the "to be continued" at the end credits is reminiscent of Sylvester McCoy era.
  • 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. (She is not a clone of the Doctor. She is his daughter. Granted, a daughter made using only his DNA, but she will still have different genes to him to due to processes relating to reproduction which are too complicated to go into here.)
  • 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 traveled with a future Doctor, like River Song, just not talked about it.It could be Donna as she did spend a lot of time and effort looking for him, or even Rose she did cross an entire universe to find him. Rose also said to Donna in Turn Left that she is the "most important Human in all creation" as the Doctor owes his life to her and it would seem she is the most important at the moment. It is unlikely to be Captain Jack as it has been revealed that Captain Jack is the Doctors old friend Face of Boe which we seen die in another episode.(Note Captain Jack is RUMORED to be "the real" Face of Boe, as this has yet to be confirmed.
  • The 'most faithful' companion who will die has to be K9: Dogs are always 'most faithful'.
  • 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 time line 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.
  • 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 Master's. Although it is unlikely he will appear, it may have something to do with the fact that it will be Donna's last episode. The Master's ring was VERY different to the one Donna was wearing. The Master's was green, whereas Donna's was black.
  • The Doctor will regenerate, however the 1 second lapse in the Medusa Cascade will reset his regeneration, giving the Doctor(and us) an insight into what (or who) his next form will be. Unlikely, as a regeneration must fully finish or be botched. Also Unlikely, as it is known DT will return in 2010 as the Doctor. Really? That's still not been confirmed. Yes it has. David Tennant has been confirmed for the 2009 specials not the 2010 series. It sounds like the original claim of 2010 was an honest date error about the specials rather than belief that DT is officially back for 2010 which has not yet been confirmed (either way)
  • When Donna is sitting on the stairs, there is a drumming sound, right before the Shadow Proclamation Woman talks to her about becoming something new. She then wipes her eyes, showing off a very large black ring (which is not new; it has been on Donna's hand in almost every episode). As well, when the Sub Wave network starts, there is a tone similar to that used by the Master's Archangel Network in the Series 3 finale, all possible hints at Donna having some level of involvement with The Master. The drumming sound when Donna is on the stairs is a heartbeat, possible a slight echoed beat of two hearts, but it's not the same as the Master's beat.
  • As Sarah Jane is about to be exterminated Mickey suddenly teleports and saves her while Jackie does the same with Torchwood
  • Davros actually works for Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Leader of the Darkness
  • After the events of Voyage of the Damned, Prince Philip murders Queen Elizabeth II to Become King, them makes contact and Employs Davros to help him take over the entire universe
  • Prince Philip is or leads the darkness
  • Prince Philip made the Crucible
  • The reason why the daleks are enslaving the humans is because Prince Philip want to convert them to an army of Philip Troopers (Genetically modified humans, who look identical and think like Prince Philip, these creatures are created in a similar fashion to Pig slaves)
  • The reason why "The bees are dissapearing" is because, Prince Philip wants to harvest them for honey for his new product, 'Duchy Originals Honey Nut Cookies'.
  • Prince Philip was behind the scenes of Torchwood episodes 'Captain Jack Harkness' and 'End of Days’. Bilis Manger works for Prince Philip
  • The Trickster is in fact Prince Philip
