This was worth reading just for number 5, which made me actually cry a bit (with laughter), because is this actually a theory?!? Though the article purports that there is at least one active thread on the subject so... I choose to believe that thread is being ironic.

Number 4 is probably funny to people who've seen Alien. I haven't. please don't judge me. Number 2 got me giggling again because... well. Because. Seriously.

The only theory here I found substantially intriguing was number 3. Discuss.

Also, what are your most off the wall theories for John Hurt's identity?

Can't say how I feel about this list of possiblities. None really sit well with me. Closest would be 3, like you said, but that's mostly because I love the idea of a father-figure.

Of course, I'm surprised you make no comment on #1. What? No thoughts on the return of the Master OR the Doctor becoming the Master idea? ;)

It did amuse me a bit. It's not like Who hasn't had dalliances with that idea before (actually, came very close to going onscreen with that idea before real life intervened).
