clocketpatch | Merry Christmas! (or whichever other holiday or non-holiday of choice you might be celebrating)

I'm going to be making an attempt to stay away from the internet these next few days. Otherwise I will inevitably be spoiled, and though there have been spoilers a plenty floating about (and I've intentionally blundered into my fair share), there's a difference between being spoiled along with everyone else in the days leading up to and being spoiled by someone who didn't feel like putting the epic ending .gif they made under a cut. Yeah...

Anyways, before it does air I figured I'd post my deranged theories on what's going to happen tomorrow and next week. Then, after the fact, we can all laugh at how wrong I was.

The Doctor is summoned by the Ood. He sees the vision of the laughing Master and is all WTF? The Ood tell him (in a whisper so that the rest of us can't hear) the one way to solve the problem. Which involves death. The Doctor is all "I'mma getting outta here!!"

And runs away screaming.

He ends up on Earth. In front of Donna's house. Wilf runs out and is all "What are you doing materializing here?!?!?" But Donna is at work, so it's okay. They chat, Wilf mentions the book. The Doctor reads a few pages of said book and is all "This is NOT right"

Wilf then gets some kind of TARDIS trip. He and his geriatric friends will inevitably save the day and in doing so teach everyone the true meaning of Christmas.

And I'm going to say the Master is resurrected around here. That is, if he hasn't all ready been resurrected in a pre credits sequence. He will be brought back using Lucy's DNA, the ring, and some random robotics. Naismith is either A. a rogue member of Torchwood B. a rogue alien or C. both.

He wants to to A. save his daughter from a fatal illness by stealing Time Lord regenerations B. Take over the world C. his daughter has psychic seen some kind of terrible future and the Master somehow figures in his deranged plan to stop it.

I think that he actually wants the Doctor and the Master is just the read substitute (or the bait)

He has somehow recreated the MATRIX from Gallifrey, which will show lots of alternate time lines, the past, the future. Hence the random flashbacks to the Doctor's childhood that we will surely get. Also, the Master's crazy electricity powers; I'm thinking those are MATRIX connected.

The Doctor and the Master will spend a good portion of the finales tied up.

Somehow this will bring Gallifrey back?!?

The Doctor will redeem himself. The Master will be linked to his death but will not be the ultimate cause of it (I'm thinking he regenerates and escapes)

I don't think we'll see Ten's actual regeneration.

I think there is going to be some kind of giant rewind switch: either Nine & Ten's adventures will have never happened or they'll be ploinked into an alternate timeline, or something. (okay, I know this won't actually happen, because of other spoilers which I won't mention, but it sounds like something Rusty would do doesn't it?)

I think that Wilf and/or Donna may die. At the least, Ten will die to save them (or their deaths will galvanize him?)

The End of Tim part one will end with the Earth being saved but the Doctor being doomed. Part two will be him trying to save himself. and failing. Because we already know he's going to fail. Don't we?

I'd like to see Ten lose his memories so Donna can regain hers. That would be tragic, but epic.

Ten WILL at some point kiss the Master (or vice versa)

Wilf is a fobbed Time Lord (okay, I know this isn't going to happen. I *know* the WTF Time Lord anagram is total coincidence, but if it DOES happen, well, I've been saying it for two years now kay?)

Ditto if Donna turns out to be Romana.

If Rusty pulls an 'and it was all a dream' trick, I will kick something.

Ten is going to die in front of Rose and traumatize her.

I will laugh at something that's not supposed to be funny. ...so will everyone else.

The Daleks will show up.

Those are nothing if not creative, insightful and full of prediction-type awesome. Not sure I'm going to go with Nine and Ten never having happened, but your suppositions on the Master's revival sound frighteningly possible.

I want Donna to regain her memories, but without blowing her brain up. Do that for me, Uncle Rusty, and I will applaud you like whoah!!!

And, should you be celebrating it, may you have a happy, happy Christmas.

If I get spoiled I'm going to be so freaking pissed. I will disown everybody involved. haha

OMG icon love!

I'm pretty sure that the Nine and Ten having never happened is not going to happen, but to say why would be a spoiler in itself, so I will keep my peace.

Merry Christmas to you as well!

Not reading what you put under the cut, but I wanted to wish you a merry Christmas <3

I'm terribly anxious about it all. Especially if Gallifrey/Romana come back because then it'll all be brushed aside when Moffat takes over and the Doctor won't even mention them. Also, Romana will be evil and the Doctor will have to kill her.D: Er, anyone, those are my fears.

Some of this definitely made me LOL, which does not at all mean that you are incorrect! I have never been this tense over a freakin' TV show, and I hope I never will be again. Are you getting it in Canada tomorrow?

Oh, and Merry Christmas!!

Okay, Clocket - promise not to read this until after you've seen the ep - if I thought I'd spoilered you, my reaction would be something like Ten's in the last ten seconds or so of Waters of Mars! ;D

Okay - SPOILERS follow!!

The Doctor is summoned by the Ood. He sees the vision of the laughing Master and is all WTF? The Ood tell him (in a whisper so that the rest of us can't hear) the one way to solve the problem. Which involves death. The Doctor is all "I'mma getting outta here!!" Not quite, but not far off either...

And runs away screaming.He doesn't scream exactly, but not far off. ;D

He ends up on Earth. In front of Donna's house. Wilf runs out and is all "What are you doing materializing here?!?!?" But Donna is at work, so it's okay. They chat, Wilf mentions the book. The Doctor reads a few pages of said book and is all "This is NOT right" You know, I'm starting to like your version better than the BBC one...

Wilf then gets some kind of TARDIS trip. He and his geriatric friends will inevitably save the day and in doing so teach everyone the true meaning of Christmas.Still too early to say, but it'd be great, wouldn't it? But yes on the TARDIS trip!

And I'm going to say the Master is resurrected around here. That is, if he hasn't all ready been resurrected in a pre credits sequence. He will be brought back using Lucy's DNA, the ring, and some random robotics. Naismith is either A. a rogue member of Torchwood B. a rogue alien or C. both.More or less, actually. Naismith even mentioned Torchwood, although it wasn't made clear whether he was hooked up with them or not

He wants to to A. save his daughter from a fatal illness by stealing Time Lord regenerations B. Take over the world C. his daughter has psychic seen some kind of terrible future and the Master somehow figures in his deranged plan to stop it.A., kind of - although it doesn't involve regenerations and it isn't even made clear that he has a good reason for doing what he does, other than that his relationship with his daughter seems a bit, well, creepy.

I think that he actually wants the Doctor and the Master is just the read substitute (or the bait)Again, better than the real version. ;D

He has somehow recreated the MATRIX from Gallifrey, which will show lots of alternate time lines, the past, the future. Hence the random flashbacks to the Doctor's childhood that we will surely get. Also, the Master's crazy electricity powers; I'm thinking those are MATRIX connected.Ditto above comment

The Doctor and the Master will spend a good portion of the finales tied up.The Master spends quite a bit of time restrained a la Hannibal Lecter, and when you see what he does when they unrestrain him, it seems like a good idea on reflection.

Somehow this will bring Gallifrey back?!?Funny you should say that...

The End of Tim part one will end with the Earth being saved but the Doctor being doomed.Nope - tis a proper cliffhanger, actually...

Ten WILL at some point kiss the Master (or vice versa)You know, there was this moment when I totally thought they were about to, but they didn't...

Wilf is a fobbed Time Lord (okay, I know this isn't going to happen. I *know* the WTF Time Lord anagram is total coincidence, but if it DOES happen, well, I've been saying it for two years now kay?)You know what, though, there is SOMETHING about Wilf, even Ten's starting to notice it...

Ditto if Donna turns out to be Romana.I don't think Donna will...

I will laugh at something that's not supposed to be funny. ...so will everyone else.But of course, it's an RTD story! ;D

The Daleks will show up.Not yet, but I'd never bet against it... ;D

PLEASE DON'T SAY TIMOTHY DALTON IS ROMANA. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THEM.

Akashasheiress, I loled so hard at that. Had I been drinking anything it would have come out my nose.

My current working theory is that the woman on the telly was Romana and that Wilf is totally a Time Lord (not sure which one), but I am almost certainly going to be proved very wrong on both counts.

That's my working theory as well. That, and I'm thinking that the Time Lords are all sitting inside the Master's head having a party.

You know, much as I love the crack, I kind of wish I'd been the one writing this episode. Or, you know, anyone but Rusty. There is so much they could have done to make it epic, instead I just spent the whole episode waiting for the punchline.

(granted, it was a pretty epically lulzy punchline)

Ba-doom-tish! ;D

Does this make me a bad fangirl? Or completely egotistic? Or something?

*wanders off in a daze*

Merry Christmas! (or whichever other holiday or non-holiday of choice you might be celebrating)
