*[[Dalek Caan]] foretells of "everlasting death for the most faithful companion". In the season 2 finale, Rose's departure to a parallel universe is presented to the audience as her "death". Perhaps "everlasting death" implies that she will be permanently stuck in that universe. This seems very likely as there has been no indication that Billie Piper will be in the 2009 specials or the fifth series. ''It is possible that "everlasting death" also refers to the fact she may be permanently dead in the literal sense, as opposed to just living in a parallel universe, though this scenario seems unlikely, as photos showing Rose and the Doctor at [[Bad Wolf Bay]], possibly bidding Rose farewell like he has done before, suggest she survives.  Though these photos may just be the first Bad Wolf Bay scene, re-shot, considering [[Doomsday]]'s final scene had to be re-shot for [[The Runaway Bride]] due to a change in the cinematographers.''

*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. (Another clue that the Doctor may not regenerate yet is the fact that [[River Song]] recognizes the 10th Doctor, indicating that he meets her before he regenerates. ''A further clue (speculated support, not proof) would be the published list of actors to feature in the next episode - according to the BBC, it is still David Tennant'' 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).
 
*Davros' proclamation of turning all reality in to dust, sounds similar to what Rose did when she absorbed the time vortex. Perhaps Davros has been influenced with this.

*There are rumours that [[Harriet Jones]] is imprisoned,instead of exterminated as it appeared. RTD said that a female we all know very well will die. This is likely to have been Harriet Jones, as every time she introduces herself, the response is "Yes, we know who you are". We know from the static the others received, that Jones' computer was destroyed. This does not tell us anything about what happened to her. However, 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.'' Russell T Davies confirmed on This Morning that Harriet Jones is dead. ''But how can you trust him :P''

*[[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, albeit at the cost of someone's sanity.

*Rose dies. ''Unlikely, as her farewell to the Doctor and Donna has been filmed showing them at Bad Wolf Bay. However she is seen in the same clothing as Doomsday. Perhaps the Doctor takes the opportunity of the reopened fractures in time to go see Rose after she dies to finish telling her how he feels.''

*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. Another possibility ; facing death could also be interpreted as facing the death of a person close to you. So perhaps the companion who faces death is Donna because her grandfather might die ? In that way she faces death and has a good reason to stay at home. This might also be a good explanation for the remarks about her loss. Also it was announced that Tate will not be coming back after Series 4 also puts more ideas doe Donna to die''

* 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]]').

Unless she does what Dalek Caan did, then the second point here would probably happen too, but how she finds out how to go is beyond me. And probably 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.

* [[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]].

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.

*Through the regeneration process the Doctor's hand turns into another DT and one DT leaves with Rose at the end of the episode '' This would support the pictures on Youtube in which two photos have the Doctor(blue suit) and Rose and the Doctor(brown suit), Donna and TARDIS. Both photos show the Doctor facing different ways on what seems to be Bad Wolf Bay. ''Although the idea seems plausible, it would generally make bad writing or create paradoxes. Or maybe the photos take place between different points in time, so the Doctor has enough time to change his suit.'' Or maybe one of the photos is a publicity photo. Also, Rose is wearing the same clothes she was wearing when she said goodbye to the Doctor. Actually, the clothes are her outfit for series 4, which is slightly different (purple jacket, mauve shirt). Maybe the Doctor is experiencing post-regenerative trauma and reliving his worst memories, which would explain two Doctors.

This would mean that Chris Eccleston would make a guest appearance. If the Eight Doctor is to show up, this would most likely be Paul McGann.

* The Fortune Teller if you noticed from Turn Left was weraing a ring very similar to the masters in. This could play a part.
*RTD has said that Sarah Jane will get to meet Davros, and also that The Doctor and Rose will finish the conversation they last held on Bad Wolf Bay. There will also be a speech from the Doctor to his companions where he tells them how much they all mean to him.

*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)
*Could it be that someone is utilizing the Trickster's Brigade's beetle on Donna to manipulate events (the Doctor even said that it was a big coincidence that he kept running into Donna)...either to save the Doctor's life or to ruin it? That would explain why the woman at the Shadow Proclamation still saw something on Donna's back, and the fact she said "sorry for your loss to come", IE, the alternate universe she created would be lost.'' Yes Donna may possibly still be in her own alternate universe. I suggested before that she may still be in the library computer''...this would also explain why there were reports of a scene being shot of the Doctor dropping Donna off with Wilf, where he said "don't tell her about this", so basically she forgot the universe, like she forgot the one she created in [[Turn Left]]
*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)

=== Discontinuity, Plot Holes, Errors ===
*The reason why "The bees are dissapearing" is because, Prince Philip wants to harvest them for honey for , 'Duchy Originals Honey Nut Cookies' to use as food for the Philip Troopers to help increase their life span.

''To be added''
*The extra armour plates on red dalek are stablizers to change the voice and accent of the its former identity, Queen Elizabeth II, to a deeper and more elegent voice like the Dalek Emperor. If Plates are removed, the dalek will speak in the Queens accent and voice.

As for Prince Philip, his servant Davros and the Insane Dalek Caan, they escape to a small escape pod and land on earth. Davros and Prince Philip agrees with each other that taking over the universe is pointless, so Davros gives up taking over the whole universe. Instead he and his Master Prince Philip decide to open up a local Greek restaurant called Stavros's Greek Bar. Because of Dalek Caans insane rantings, Prince Philip employs him to act as as a comedian in his restaurant.

Rumours

  • Dalek Caan foretells of "everlasting death for the most faithful companion". In the season 2 finale, Rose's departure to a parallel universe is presented to the audience as her "death". Perhaps "everlasting death" implies that she will be permanently stuck in that universe. This seems very likely as there has been no indication that Billie Piper will be in the 2009 specials or the fifth series. It is possible that "everlasting death" also refers to the fact she may be permanently dead in the literal sense, as opposed to just living in a parallel universe, though this scenario seems unlikely, as photos showing Rose and the Doctor at Bad Wolf Bay suggest she survives. Though these photos may just be the first Bad Wolf Bay scene, re-shot, considering Doomsday's final scene had to be re-shot for The Runaway Bride due to a change in the cinematographers.
  • Davros' proclamation of turning all reality in to dust, sounds similar to what Rose did when she absorbed the time vortex. Perhaps Davros has been influenced with this.
  • 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 the wider plans from Davros's master Prince Philip to turn the doctor to a Philip Trooper, 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. A further clue (speculated support, not proof) would be the published list of actors to feature in the next episode - according to the BBC, it is still David Tennant 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).
  • The Osterhagen key is a time machine. Martha knew it would change time completely if she used it.Harriet Jones also knows this.Martha saves the doctor from being exterminated- Jack however may use his vortex manipulator to save the doctor.
  • There are rumours that Harriet Jones is imprisoned,instead of exterminated as it appeared. There is a Rumour that Prince Philip Turns her to one of his Philip Troopers, She does not do it willingly. RTD said that a female we all know very well will die. This is likely to have been Harriet Jones, as every time she introduces herself, the response is "Yes, we know who you are". We know from the static the others received, that Jones' computer was destroyed. This does not tell us anything about what happened to her. However, 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.
  • 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, albeit at the cost of someone's sanity.
  • Rose dies. Unlikely, as her farewell to the Doctor and Donna has been filmed showing them at Bad Wolf Bay. However she is seen in the same clothing as Doomsday. Perhaps the Doctor takes the opportunity of the reopened fractures in time to go see Rose after she dies to finish telling her how he feels.
  • 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. Another possibility ; facing death could also be intrepreted as facing the death of a person close to you. So perhaps the companion who faces death is Donna because her grandfather might die ? In that way she faces death and has a good reason to stay at home. This might also be a good explanation for the remarks about her loss.
  • Martha dies. Possible as the weapon she has (The Osterhagen key) is rumoured to be a suicide weapon.
  • 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.
  • Donna is a Time Lady, she learns of this and travels back to the time war to ressurect the Time Lords. Then she Loses her memory or goes insane and stays on earth never knowing what has happened
  • 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. However, in the past it has only signalled the presence of other Time Lords.
  • 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 from the Doctor, and therefore a part of The Doctor himself. However Jenny will most likely not appear in this episode. On the other hand, Jenny did live in a time while a group known as the Time Agency existed.
  • 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 (unlikely), but it's not the same as the Master's beat. It was Donna's heart beating in her ears as near as I can understand.
  • As Sarah Jane is about to be exterminated Mickey suddenly teleports and saves her while Jackie does the same with Torchwood.
  • Sarah Jane, Jackie and Mickey Smith allow themselves to be captured and taken to the Crucible in order to find the Doctor. An exclusive clip on the Doctor Who website shows Sarah Jane, Mickey and Jackie being taken as hostages by the Daleks with the rest of the captured humans.
  • Through the regeneration process the Doctor's hand turns into another DT and one DT leaves with Rose at the end of the episode This would support the pictures on Youtube in which two photos have the Doctor(blue suit) and Rose and the Doctor(brown suit), Donna and TARDIS. Both photos show the Doctor facing different ways on what seems to be Bad Wolf Bay. Although the idea seems plausible, it would generally make bad writing or create paradoxes. Or maybe the photos take place between different points in time, so the Doctor has enough time to change his suit. Or maybe one of the photos is a publicity photo. Also, Rose is wearing the same clothes she was wearing when she said goodbye to the Doctor. Maybe the Doctor is experiencing post-regnerative trauma and reliving his worst memories, which would explain two Doctors.
  • It has been said from a reliable source that there will be two DT doctors except one will have a single heart. It very well maybe that one is an imposter, or his hand in the jar becomes the second and stops him from regenerating.
  • The Tenth Doctor will somehow be joined by two other incarnations, most likely the Ninth, and possibly the Eight or Seventh Doctors. This would mean that Chris Eccleston would make a guest appearance. If the Eight Doctor is to show up, this would most likely be Paul McGann. It's likely that this is the incarnation of The Doctor that participated in the Time War, eventually regenerating into the Ninth Doctor.
  • RTD has said that Sarah Jane will get to meet Davros, and also that The Doctor and Rose will finish the conversation they last held on Bad Wolf Bay. There will also be a speech from the Doctor to his companions where he tells them how much they all mean to him.
  • Davros actually works for Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Leader of the Darkness
  • After the events of Voyage of the Damned, Prince Philip Imprisons 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 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)
  • Since the Philip troopers are made by using the same technology,that the Cult of Skaro used to turn Humans to Pig slaves in Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks, The Philip Troopers can only live up to a few weeks, luckily Prince Philips servant Davros, suggested that Honey nut Cookies could help increase the life span of the Philip Troopers.
  • The reason why "The bees are dissapearing" is because, Prince Philip wants to harvest them for honey for , 'Duchy Originals Honey Nut Cookies' to use as food for the Philip Troopers to help increase their life span.
  • 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
  • the red dalek supreme is infact Queen Elizabeth II mutated to a Dalek by Prince Philip, and his servant Davros.
  • The extra armour plates on red dalek are stablizers to change the voice and accent of the its former identity, Queen Elizabeth II, to a deeper and more elegent voice like the Dalek Emperor. If Plates are removed, the dalek will speak in the Queens accent and voice.
  • Cato Fong from the Pink panther movies appear in this episode as a man servant of Prince Philip, as Prince Philip and his servant Davros was at the brink of victory, torchuring the Doctor and the Children of time, the get defeated by Cato Fong Launching an unexpected attack on Prince Philip, Prince Philip then duels with his man servant, this fight lead to severe consequences firsty Disabling the stablizers on the Red Dalek, leaving the poor dalek sounding like its Former Identity, Queen Elizabeth II, secondly Prince Philip accidently pressing the button that causes the crucible to self destruct.. the The Red Dalek, now revealed to be Queen Elizabeth II, exterminates Cato, the Doctor and his companions escape back to earth by teleport. As for Prince Philip, his servant Davros and the Insane Dalek Caan, they escape to a small escape pod and land on earth. Davros and Prince Philip agrees with each other that taking over the universe is pointless, so Davros gives up taking over the whole universe. Instead he and his Master Prince Philip decide to open up a local Greek restaurant called Stavros's Greek Bar. Because of Dalek Caans insane rantings, Prince Philip employs him to act as as a comedian in his restaurant.
  • In the scene when the humans are converted into Philip troopers, the spitting image theme tune is played
  • After the credits of Journeys End, you will see Davros, Prince Philip, and the Insane Dalek Caan, working in their new restaurant 'Stavros's'.
