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.

Myths & 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.
  • 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.
  • 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, however.
  • 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.
  • 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 Osterhagen key is either a reset button or 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 Fourth 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.
