Here's some speculation for you....

15. Zero Point reminds me an awful lot of zero coordinates, a throwback to Warrior's Gate, perhaps?

22. This might have something to do with Mark Gatiss' episode 'What are little boys made of?'.

26. There have been rumors about an episode set in Egypt. Yes, please?

31. The age of a Time Lord? Maybe? No? Whatever.

35. I don't know, but it sounds very Whoish. There was that Ood in the trailer, it seemed strange they would bring them back- shape changer?

36. Sand fits with the possible Egypt theme, and there were also rumors that there would be redesigned Cybermen in that episode. Of course, it could just as easily be a red herring.... all of these could....

39. I presume that this is talking about Father Octavion in the Time of Angels saying how if the Doctor knew what she did, he wouldn't want to help them. Sounds very intriguing....

If any of these speculations are right, the universe might just implode. 66.41.61.132 06:34, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

41. I think this was also resolved in The Doctor's Wife. The TARDIS junkyard is essentially full of TARDIS bones.

5. and 33. May they be related? There are a few here that could be Biblical references (probably a stretch, but I wonder if 36 is referring to the lost tribes of Israel?)
