Dream Lord or Nightmare Man ?

SJA series 4 has a Nightmare Man story. Could this be a coincidence or the same adversary as the rumoured Dream Lord in this episode? 86.26.137.154 08:40, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

In the next time trailer, the Dream Lord says something like 'you're the time lord, let's call me the dream lord' which implies that is not who / what he really is 86.26.137.154 07:34, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

It turns out that the 'Dream Lord' is actually the Doctor. Alpha111 19:08, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Due to the fact that Matt Smith will be in SJA series 4, it's possible Dream Lord could re-emerge as the 'Nightmare Man'. Don't see how as of yet though. Adam 148 20:44, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Pregnant?

Is Amy pregnant with the Doctor's child?71.161.234.46 07:20, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

All we know is that Amy is shown to be pregnant. Considering the presumptive villian in this episode is a man called the Dream Lord, we can't take anything at face value, can we? We don't know if Amy is pregnant with Rory or The Doctor's child. We'll just have to wait and see (or wait for spoilers, as River would say!) Musedae 16:23, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

The trailer implies that the "future" Amy is just a dream. As she is seen with Rory, the assumption is that its his child (they've been married for 5 years). Jedman67 06:21, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Remember I posted that a week ago. Actually, after I posted that, I rememebred that Pyria (gotta check her name) cursed the Time Lords with sterility, which is why they use the looms. Anyway, it could all be a dream, don't forget! Musedae 14:25, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Also in the next time trailer, Amy is pregnant in the village but not in the Tardis. Not so clear if Rory only has the ponytail in the village 86.26.137.154 07:31, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

The Big Bang

If it is five years into Amy's future, what happened about the big bang that happened five years ago? Did the Doctor stop it or something like that? Who7 11:57, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps Amy's future is just a dream, and her, the Doctor and Rory may are sleeping in the TARDIS a few hours after the end of "Vampire of Venice" as seen in the trailer. That could explain why Amy is not pregnant in the TARDIS and her 'heartbreaking choice' might be to choose between her little family dream, or the reality...we'll see...

Sacrifice

As seen in the promotional picture for this episode, there is a car right behind the Doctor and Amy, and Amy look worried. Do you think the Doctor and Amy sacrifice their lives so they wake up in the strange dream? Who7 12:02, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

It seems that there is no drivers in the car, so I don't think that the Doctor and Amy will let themselves get crushed.. Sam122 21:25, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

The way it's been edited, seems as though the Doctor is seen driving the same vehicle over a bridge in the trailer 86.26.137.154 07:40, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

I think the sacrifice is that, if the Leadworth family dream ends, Amy's baby will never be born. MidnightCat 15:53, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

She didn't seem all that bothered about it. Maybe it was that she was just convinced it wasn't real anyways Carnivius Prime 18:39, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

My Theory

The is two worlds: The TARDIS and the village.

Only one is real.

The other is a dream.

Amy has to kill herself in the dream so she can wake up in reality.

If she chooses the wrong one shes die.RPSMan 15:10, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

This is going to be like Pyramids of Mars where the Doctor had to choose between pressing one switch or the other - if he makes a mistake Sarah will die. He could ask the lying Robot or the truthful Robot one question - so he asked one of them "What would the other say?" - which guaranteed a lying response and he picked the correct switch. I think here Doctor & Co will have to make a choice based on combining reality and fantasy together - and then the choice will be clear. Idji 11:29, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Digital Spy / SFX Spoilers

1

1 It’s a very clever (cleverer than you might think at first) and unusual script, slightly let down by some pedestrian direction that doesn’t always achieve quite the right tone for what could be a much darker, creepier tale…

2 The Doctor wears the kind of jumper you hope your nan won’t buy you for Christmas

3 There are no plot holes

4 There’s an interesting use of a hover mower

5 You’re probably tired of hearing this every week, but it’s Matt Smith’s best performance yet. He really seems to thrive in quirky episodes

6 You get a good chance to study the new TARDIS set

7 There‘s a great “we’ve second guessed you” moment with the Doctor waving his hand

8 There may be complaints that it encourages spitting

9 Amy’s second false alarm amusingly sends up the Doctor’s arrogance

10 Once again it’s packed with quotable one-liners, especially the sentence that begins, “If we’re going to die, let’s die looking like…” (which could also spark a whole new trend in cosplaying)

11 The Doctor opens a black box that has some information written on it which will have fans hitting the freeze frame

12 Toby Jones has about a zillion costume changes (and he’s great)

What says you? Musedae 18:01, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

1. Agreed, very clever and very unusual.

2. Ha, Mrs Poggit's jumper for her grandson. Eugh.

3. We'll be the judge of that.

4. As a weapon by one of the old people.

5. I think he was great, not his best, there was less humour, but great nonetheless.

6. Yup, quite a bit of close ups on it.

7. Can't think of that bit... yet...

8. I can see why.

9. Love how she does that.

10. "Ask me what happens if you die in reality." "What happens?" "You die stupid, that's why it's called reality."

11. Did I miss it? I can't recall it.

12. Yup, the Tardis version, doctor version, oap version, butcher.

2016

The episode is actually set in 2016 becuse Amy appeers in season 32 in 201185.250.46.91 17:59, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

It could be in 2017 or above because Any might stay on doctor who for more than 2 seasons. Alpha111 19:06, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Notices

Has anyone noticed that there are birds twittering (continuity) and at the end instead of the doctor's reflections there is the his dream lord dark side (he's still dreaming)? Dwfan100

Entire episode inside the TARDIS?

Now, can we say that this entire episode took place inside the TARDIS? Although there were scenes filmed in different places, Amy, the Doctor and Rory weren't even there, they never left the TARDIS. So can we say that this episode took place entirely within the TARDIS? Mc hammark 20:38, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
