The DWRR is back for the Christmas Special!
I have yet to find many people debating this theory about the Doctors death so I want to ask your opinion. Why haven't people been considering the flesh? The Doctor proves a point to Amy that they are the same person by switching places with his flesh. Just because the one flesh was killed doesn't mean more were not made. On top of that Amy did not even realize she was a flesh until the doctor turned her into yogurt. Who's to say that the Doctor that gets killed is not just another flesh?
Well, first I think a lot of people discard theories like this initially because they’re so obvious. Which was the mistake a LOT of people made when trying to figure out who River Song was.
I think the Flesh theory is a very solid one. But like all theories, it has its cons:
When the Ganger Doctor died at the end of Rebel Flesh/Almost People, he turned into a puddle (just like Amy’s ganger had). He didn’t regenerate. Just…deactivated himself. So, maybe the Flesh aren’t 100% like their counterparts like we thought.
The Doctor was, in fact, trying to regenerate at Lake Silencio, so if the Ganger Doctor can regenerate, I guess we’ll find out. But there’s something there that’s just not adding up for me.
But we have to keep in mind the little details Moffat has left everywhere: the Doctor eating an apple in “The God Complex” when the Doctor hates apples, for a fact. Him being much older when he’s at the picnic with Amy, Rory, and River in The Impossible Astronaut, the different jacket, the fact that he decides to wear coattails and a top hat, just like at Amy and Rory’s wedding, after going somewhere in the TARDIS (that somewhere being a place that reminded him of “fish fingers and custard”)…I could go on and on.
All I’m saying is…there’s something off about the Doctor this season. He doesn’t seem like himself. So, whether he’s the Ganger or something else, I don’t know. But…something’s fishy and custardy if you ask me.
Also, whatever happens in the final episode, when the Doctor supposedly dies, he definitely knows it’s coming and doesn’t seem confident, or like he’s got anything up his sleeve. The way he’s acting when he sees the astronaut shows absolute sadness and fear…not like he knows something we don’t. So…maybe something or someone saves him, and he doesn’t know about it until it happens. I don’t know. That’s my best guess as to what happens in the last episode, because this isn’t the end of Who. Smith is on for the next season in 2012. I’m just trying to figure out how they’re going to navigate around all of these questions we’ve got.
Guys. I’m sorry I was messing with you. lol That was a mocking post. I was just poking fun at everyone freaking out over it.
Sorry! I should have put that in the hashtags or something!
Stormageddon does not mean “fallen silence”. That’s just some dumb rumor someone started.
I wont do that again, I promise.
BAD LAUREN.
AnonymousYou remind me of a female Nerdist/Chris Hardwick!

There are rumors that Karen Gillan has signed on for season 7.
Though I was sure she signed on for a new show as a character by the name of “Jean Shrimpton”.
And would the Doctor really take her back on after this huge realization in the last episode?
Can we confirm or deny these rumors?
I don’t quite know how to say this without people taking it the wrong way, but I think Karen Gillan is pushing the limit of how long I want to keep her around. Not that she’s annoying—I think she’s amazing. But I do think the story arc of the Doctor Who series is not really conducive for the most part to long-timers. They clearly don’t want Amy and Rory to be all “yay the universe!” anymore; they’ve already moved on to “we’ve died. Again.” That joke is going to get stale for me before the end of the season, personally. I’d love to see a new companion so that I remember Amy and Rory fondly rather than as “the ones who wouldn’t leave.”
You know, I have to agree with you. Bringing them back wouldn’t just make it awkward because the Doctor has decided that it’s just to dangerous for them, but the story arc is a little overdone at this point. And as a writer, it’s always refreshing to bring in new characters, and I think that’s half the charm of the show: you never see the same people too many times. Sure we love them, but maybe we love these characters so much and get attached to them because we know they’re not going to be around for more than a couple seasons. It makes their time on the show that much more memorable. Eve Myles was in one episode of Doctor Who (okay, two when she joined Torchwood), but I remembered her from that one episode before she was on Torchwood because, well, yeah. She was memorable.
So yes, I love Amy Pond. But I must wholeheartedly agree. It’s time for her, Rory, and (DEFINITELY) River’s chapters to close.
Also, I really want a male companion this time. I loved the chemistry and banter between Craig and the Doctor, and Rory and the Doctor, so I think we should bring in a guy. Who says the main companion has to be a girl?

Search "Doctor Who's Karen Gillan is Coming back in Series 7" in youtube. proof she is coming back. I'm suprised more people haven't seen it
Wow.
I must look this up.
In one interview she gave, it sounded so final. Either they hadn’t made a decision on her coming back yet or she was trying to throw us all off.
But I don’t know how I feel about this. I love her, I do. But…eh.
