From Michael Downey's original post "5 Things to look for in Series 5":

Over the course of the Series (5), Matt Smith and Steven Moffat have repeatedly said to look out for 5 things.

So, this thread is here if anyone wants to:

• Provide additional evidence for this.
• Discuss the kinds of things we should be looking for.
• Suggest things we should be looking for that don't have separate threads yet (but you can just as easily create a new thread for it).
• Argue about whether these things (in general) need to appear every story (as RTD's arc words did), every episode, or just multiple times-and, likewise, whether they have to be the entire season or not.

And meanwhile, I'll add links to each of the separate threads. --Falcotron 01:09, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

OK, here's all the separate threads. I think it'll be easier to discuss these things if each idea is kept separate:

• Forum:5 things to look for: 0
• Forum:5 things to look for: Cracks
• Forum:5 things to look for: Eyes
• Forum:5 things to look for: Silence
• Forum:5 things to look for: The countdown
• Forum:5 things to look for: "There's something..."
• Forum:5 things to look for: Time or history is messed up
• Forum:5 things to look for: Red telephone/red phonebox

Anyone else can create more threads as easily as me, in case I missed your favorite theory. --Falcotron 10:44, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

I have noticed a recurring thread

11th hour - The only one I'm unsure of, but I'm sure I recall Prisoner zero saying he/it was the last of its kind

The Beast Below - The last Space Whale

Victory of the Daleks - The Doctor curses at having to let the last Daleks free to wreak havoc

Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone - The last Angel is on the Byzantium

Vampires of Venice - The fishy vampires are the last refugees

Anyone else think this might be significant? PeresCoure

I am not sure you may be right. Clearly those cracks in time are devouring race's and planets, but whatever is controlling them is not clear yet. I'd say your pattern works except for victory of the daleks. In that one those Daleks were the last because of journey's end, not the cracks. Also to be fair there have been quite alot of creatures in doctor who that are the last of their kind, its a staple of sci fi, but you are right this series has had it virtually every week so it probably is a pattern.
