*Dalek Caan foretells of "everlasting death for the most faithful companion". In the season 2 finale, Rose's departure to a parallel universe is presented to the audience as her "death". Perhaps "everlasting death" implies that she will be permanently stuck in that universe. This seems very likely as there has been no indication that Billie Piper will be in the 2009 specials or the fifth series. ''It is possible that "everlasting death" also refers to the fact she may be permanently dead in the literal sense, as opposed to just living in a parallel universe, though this scenario seems unlikely, as photos showing Rose and the Doctor at [[Bad Wolf Bay]] suggest she survives. Though these photos may just be the first Bad Wolf Bay scene, re-shot, considering [[Doomsday]]'s final scene had to be re-shot for [[The Runaway Bride]] due to a change in the cinematographers.'' | *Dalek Caan foretells of "everlasting death for the most faithful companion".

*Davros' proclamation of turning all reality in to dust, sounds similar to what Rose did when she absorbed the time vortex. Perhaps Davros has been influenced with this. | *Davros' proclamation of turning all reality in to dust, sounds similar to what Rose did when she absorbed the time vortex.

*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]]. (Another clue that the Doctor may not regenerate yet is the fact that [[River Song]] recognises the 10th Doctor, indicating that he meets her before he regenerates. ''A further clue (speculated support, not proof) would be the published list of actors to feature in the next episode - according to the BBC, it is still David Tennant'' Yet another, more conclusive clue, is that DT is appearing in all four specials in 2009: However the 'specials' could be an impressive misdirection to cover the fact of DT leaving the show in 2009 and there really will be a full series in 2009). | *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]].

*There are rumours that [[Harriet Jones]] is imprisoned,instead of exterminated as it appeared. ''Possible - 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 every time she introduces herself, the response is "Yes, we know who you are". We know from the static the others received, that Jones' computer was destroyed. This does not tell us anything about what happened to her. However, Harriet Jones is not a 'faithful companion' as the prophecy predicted as the doctor was deliberately responsible for her downfall as P.M. Besides, Caan's mentioning of the companion's death is after Harriet is attacked by the Daleks.'' | *There are rumours that [[Harriet Jones]] is imprisoned,instead of exterminated as it appeared.

*[[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 (presumably - three of them were speculations of the Doctor's behalf). However, it could be restored like Davros, albeit at the cost of someone's sanity. | *[[Gallifrey]] is restored. ''Highly unlikely.

*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. Another possibility ; facing death could also be intrepreted as facing the death of a person close to you. So perhaps the companion who faces death is Donna because her grandfather might die ? In that way she faces death and has a good reason to stay at home. This might also be a good explanation for the remarks about her loss.'' | *Donna dies.

* 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 [[Sixth Doctor]] used against the Valeyard in '[[The Trial of a Time Lord]]'). | * Assuming the ambiguous theories of a '[[Botched Regeneration]]' are plausible, we could be seeing an early version of the [[Valeyard]].

* 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.

*Davros actually works for Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Leader of the Darkness | |||

*Prince Philip is or leads the darkness | |||
*Prince Philip made the Crucible | |||
*The reason why the daleks are enslaving the humans is because Prince Philip want to convert them to an army of Philip Troopers (Genetically modified humans, who look identical and think like Prince Philip, these creatures are created in a similar fashion to Pig slaves) | |||
*The reason why "The bees are dissapearing" is because, Prince Philip wants to harvest them for honey for his new product, 'Duchy Originals Honey Nut Cookies'. | |||

* The Trickster is in fact Prince Philip | |||
*the red dalek supreme is infact Queen Elizabeth II mutated to a Dalek by Prince Philip, and his servant Davros. | |||
*In the end of Journeys end, Prince Philip, his servant Davros, and Dalek Caan survives. Davros and Prince Philip agrees with each other that taking over the universe is pointless, so Davros gives up taking over the whole universe. Instead he and his Master Prince Philip decide to open up a local Greek restaurant called Stavros's Greek Bar. Because of Dalek Caans insane rantings, Prince Philip employs him to act as as a comedian in his restaurant. | |||
*In the scene when the humans are converted into Philip troopers, the spitting image theme tune is played | |||
*After the credits of Journeys End, you will see Davros, Prince Philip, and the Insane Dalek Caan, working in their new restaurant 'Stavros's'. | |||
