Myths

  • That the library has everything and everyone on record. Donna goes and has a look. It is perhaps possible that Donna will learn the future of her mother and grandfather. She may also find information regarding the Doctor and/or Rose Tyler and the Battle of Canary Wharf. Might be false as Donna got turned into one of those face-statues, but it is obvious she will return, so it could happen.
  • Rose Tyler may be seen in one of the library's books. This is very likely to be true as the mid season trailer shows that Donna somehow knows that Rose is returning
  • 'Cal' may turn out to be Cal MacNannovich, who appeared briefly in The End of the World. This is highly unlikely
  • It is suggested that The Girl is the library index computer This is likely true as she seems to be able to control library systems unconsciously
  • The Doctor is stunned by something River Song whispers in his ear.
  • River Song may also be a future version of The Girl.
  • CAL is the little girl.
  • The episode will begin by River using the sonic blaster to create a hole in the wall to escape.
  • River Song could just be River Song, a future companion of the doctor who the audience have not met until this two-parter.
  • The Doctor travels to earth to visit The Girl by directly leaping into the vortex. Probable, the doctor is seen falling through a tunnel of light in the trailer, however his destination is unknown.
  • Donna's physical body has been somehow digitized and saved into the index hard drive, along with the 4022 people. "Saved" in the computer's message is used in the context of a computer file, not meaning "rescued." Very possible, the second node seems to imply that the there is some kind of corporeal database that the node-faces are stored in.

It is rumored that the nodes are images in the girls mind
