(I'm guessing Delton Menace's answer is going to be "because people are stupid", but I'm hoping for something that gives a little more insight. Why? Well, we know that SM, like RTD before him, has heard all these theories, and even jokes about them. I suspect he's also tried to figure out why. And he likes to play with people's expectations.) --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 05:55, May 6, 2010 (UTC) | (I'm guessing Delton Menace's answer is going to be "because people are stupid", but I'm hoping for something that gives a little more insight.

:You're trying to puzzle out why fans come up with theories for things? (Visit the various Doctor Who forums like [http://gallifreybase.com/forum/ Gallifrey Base Forums] and [http://forums.drwho-online.co.uk Doctor Who Online] for plenty of discussion). | |||
:You're mostly right when you say 'because they'd done that before', but you rather than ''just'' in Doctor Who it's something about the wider media that we're exposed to. | |||
:We ''expect'' things like this to happen, in modern drama and science fiction drama we're used to story arcs and hidden revelations. Series like Lost, Battlestar Galactica (the reboot), Babylon 5, Spooks they're all series' that have long story arcs, with individual stories that make up the larger whole and that have had character revelations or other sorts of things that are revealed throughout the course of the series. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 06:19, May 6, 2010 (UTC) | |||
