::89/2:I can certainly agree with the possibility of the things you just said. His responses very would could be in light of the fact that River tipped him off to something he didn't know yet. If he '''is''' already the one who has been erasing himself, this would have been his reminder that he needed to hit Stormcage's databases as well- having not yet done it. (Though in contrast, I would kind of think he'd start with Stormcage since his '''wife''' is there.) | |||
::Either way, I already suspect at least one other case of the "I only did it because I knew I would" theme showed up at the end of the episode. (For the sake of the following theory, assume this River is from further ahead in her timeline than the next few times we'll see her.) I suspect (or rather "hope"- simply because I'd like to see it happen) that her insisting that he not travel alone was based on something she already knows. I also suspect that when he does finally have Oswin in the presence of a pre-TatM River there will be a conversation along the lines of: [River:]- (eyeing Owsin suspiciously)"Doctor, who is this?.." [Doctor:] "You told me not to travel alone, dear. So I'm not." If anything even approaching that situation happens, it will mean that not only was her saying it a "because I knew I would" moment, but it would be a perfect circle of it happening more than once. Meaning she only told the Doctor not to travel alone because she remembered asking him, and he told her it was because she told him not to. I would be entertained by that, because that would mean that both of them had slipped up, and that the slip-ups evened each other out. It would also interesting to watch because this would all mean that the next time he meets River she won't know about what happened to her parents. So she would really be more likely to ask, "Who is this?.. Where are Amy and Rory?.." His answer to that could be another purposely-vague moment where he lies but tells the truth by saying that they're at home just fine- only failing to mention that 1938 is their home now. It would be a good chance to see the Doctor try to hide the pain he would certainly still be feeling. | |||
::AthertonX: You're more than welcome here, as I'm sure everyone else would agree. I have a long wait for the next episodes and I have no intention of letting things stagnate around here. At least not as far as I can help it. I know '''I''' will certainly continue to post on as many of these topics as often as I possibly can, and I expect it will be the same for most of the regular theorists around here. Vote Saxon.
