I find Matt Smith to be a very humorous Doctor who can be serious while keeping that playful smile about him. That's what makes Smith unique as The Doctor. I really had my doubts at first, but I've enjoyed watching him go throughout his journey. The Ponds and Rory have also been fantastic companions. Rory really surprised me in how he's grown, and just how unique he is. Amy is also far from my least favorite companion. River is just awesome.

As for the Rory being The Master thing, it's somewhat plausible. Consider River first: could having some residual time energy really create a half Timelord child? Even The Doctor wasn't really able to explain how River came to be. She's an anomaly. If Rory happened to be The Master somehow, then there you go, a half Timelord child.

In Let's Kill Hitler, Amy tries to write off the pounding, but the pounding isn't acknowledged by anybody else. On top of that, Rory specially mentions the pounding being in his head. That's more than a little bit suspicious. It isn't entirely conclusive, but it can't just be ignored either. Subtle hints seem to be the name of the game when it comes to major, multi-season plot points in Doctor Who.

Finally, in The God Complex, how is Rory the only one who has no faith in anyone, or anything? He's supposed to be human, and no human has no faith in anybody or anything. It would make sense for The Master to have no faith. Everyone and everything has abandoned him, and he's learned to rely on nobody but himself. I'd say Rory is a rather odd character. Plus, consider him being The Last Centurion. The Doctor plainly said that 2000 years of being constantly awake would drive a man mad. There was nothing wrong with Rory's consciousness after all that time. He may have been plastic, but he was still all Rory mentally. It would take someone with an extraordinary mind to last that long. Nobody else has an amazing mind quite like a Time Lord does.

Still just conjecture, all in all, but I feel like season 7 is going to be one hell of a season.

By the by, after this Doctor goes, The Doctor will be in his twelfth regeneration. This is supposed to be the last regeneration a Timelord is able to go through. It was mentioned by the writers that with The Doctor being the last, the rules may no longer apply to him, though I thought the regenerations were a genetic thing (such as when River used up all of hers to save The Doctor in Let's Kill Hitler). Hopefully the writers don't do some weird thing that makes no sense to keep The Doctor going forever.

DOCTOR WHO! I have so much love that show , especially the david tenant series!

That's pretty much what they've been doing for the last 50 years. The Doctor started out with one heart and a granddaughter, how often do we hear about that?

What LoveInVein said. It wasn't till the end of season one/season two that anything remotely resembling the current canon was established.

I'm sure there were fans in 1966 saying "What's this new "regeneration" shit? The writers have done some weird thing that makes no sense to keep The Doctor going forever!".

They will eventually rehash the "tale of three Doctors" thing, and new fans will be like "what is this shit?" And old fans will know.

I think they'll kill the show off for a while then bring it back with River in the place of the doctor.

That wouldn't happen. If it did, it would be another spin-off, not the main show.

I would not be happy if that happened. I don't like River at all.

I'm rather fond of River, but dumping the Doctor for her would not go over well.

Also, what do you all think they're going to do with her after the Doctor's next regeneration?

Do you think there could ever be a female Doctor? That'd be interesting.

She'd have to be ginger. May as well hit both of those at once.

I'm sure the BBC will get through all of those over the next few decades; woman, ginger, black, Muslim, disabled, gay, Welsh. Personally I'd like to see "Nurse Who". I think "Dr.Who" promotes a Doctocentric view of the medical profession.

I think they were only mentioning being ginger because when he regenerated into Tennant(maybe it was Smith, I forget), he was disappointed because he wasn't ginger. Sorry if you already knew that.

I think there probably will be a female Doctor, but not for a while, probably. Well, that's what I'd like anyway.

No, I don't remember that. I stopped watching the new Dr.Who somewhere through the Tenth Doctor, so if it was the Eleventh I never saw it. The Sixth Doctor was sort of blonde ginger.

I'm sure others have noticed this but I just want to know; both Martha and Amy appeared on Doctor Who before they became companions. How many other companions made guest appearances like this one?

What were their guest appearances?

Martha was in 'Army of Ghosts' and she was one of the bad guys. Amy played one of the Sisterhood from 'Fires of Pompeii'. She was the creepy one who followed The Doctor and Donna around.

Exactly. But have there been any other appearances like that made with other companions?

Not that I'm aware of.

He references the granddaughter (or at least that he had offspring) several times.

Rory- being-the-Master-theory... that...that works. I would be happy if this happened
Can't wait for more Doctor Who!

Why? It wasn't sad.

Didn't River die when the 10th Doctor first met her. I can't remember what happened to her.
