Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay, so I figured it was about time we got one of these threads started up. Here we can discuss all things 'Series 6,' including the Christmas special. As none of this has come out yet, we will be dealing mostly in spoilers. You have been warned. If you don't want to know, I'd suggest not reading further.

Anyway, here you can talk about what you want in the new series, what you think is coming, what you've heard over the internet. Anything, really. Your theories, rumors, hopes. If it pertains to Series 6, then you're good to go. Rumors seem to be all we have, though. The BBC is being very secretive this Series. They recently had their first read-through of Neil Gaiman's episode and for the first time since Tom Baker regenerated into Peter Davison, they collected all of the scripts after the read-through. Whatever's coming, it's big.

I'll add rumors to this post as we get them.

Rumors

- (Not a rumor, this is fact.) The series will be split, with 7 episodes in the Spring and the rest being shown in the Autumn. Moffat says it will actually be two different Series, but I'm not sure he's keeping this idea. It is said that this is because fans will need time to 'emotionally recover' from the events of episode 6 (though there are other obvious reasons.)

- (Fact, not rumor) Neil Gaiman is writing Episode 3.

- One of the episodes is set in Egypt and one in a giant Dollhouse (Could it be the Celestial Toymaker?)

- The 'Silence Will Fall' guy is:
--------- Davros
--------- Omega
--------- The Black Guardian
--------- The Emperor Dalek
--------- A new villain

- Amy Pond may be killed.

- River will be explained. She:
--------- is The Rani
--------- is Romana
--------- killed the Doctor/the Valeyard
--------- killed Captain Jack

- We will finally get to see more of the TARDIS than the console room, possibly in Gaiman's episode, which may be 'TARDIS-heavy.'

- There will be no Daleks in Series 6 (Rassilon, I hope so.)

- Tom Baker will come back as a villain (he has already said he'd love to do so and they had planned to bring him back as Meglos in the Lodger, but choose not to at the last second. Could it be because they're saving him for something bigger?)

- The coolest rumor I've heard: The cracks have to do with Omega. That blew my mind. It would really fit.

I'm so excited for the sixth season =D and my sister's been saying
"I betchya that River Song is Rani!" And I swear she is. Also, have I just been blind of the past 4 series, or are they trying to have New Who tie in with Old who, I mean, they've been showing pictures of all of his regenerations a bit, plus, the old villain in Cold Blood. And I believe there are others.... I'm guessing, though, that I'm just blind.... Plus, I really hope that they could do something like "The three Doctors" they could totally pull it off with just Nine, Ten, and Eleven, but that Nine and BBC would have to make friends again.... But they may be able to with Seven, eight, and maybe even six.... That would be amazing >w<

I want need a multi-Doctor special soon. biggrin As for the Black Guardian, I want to punch him in the face. But, he would be a good one to have back. I mean, he hasn't been in any episodes since the Black Guardian trilogy, has he? I haven't seen all of Seven's run, so I'm not too sure. They left it open for him to return. I really really really want the Valeyard to come into play. I love the idea behind his character.

Oh, the Black Guardian. That's a good one, Squirrel. I hadn't even thought of that before. I'd love it if it was him or Omega. I think that's my two big hopes right now. I wouldn't mind it being Davros, but then you'd have to have Daleks, and that I don't want. Not for a good while, at least. We need a break.

As for the split season, Doctor, I'm pretty worried too. I don't really like the idea of an earth-shattering, big, game-changing finale right now. We've had enough of those. I wish we could just enjoy one season that, like the old series, was just fun and ended on an easy, fun note. But no, they have to keep getting bigger and more over-the-top.

And yes, Rose, we do need the Black Guardian back. That would really make my day. He hasn't been seen since the Fifth Doctor and he needs to be. He was also in two Big Finish Audios, the Key 2 Time, but that was it. As for the Valeyard, well, I would lose my mind entirely if they brought him back. He's one of my favorite characters and I really hope they do.

Still, what I'm looking forward to most is the Celestial Toymaker and I'll be absolutely crushed if that rumor turns out to be false. He's a really great character and the Big Finish, The Nightmare Fair, proved that he can be brought back in the modern era and fans still love him. I wouldn't mind that guy, David Bailie, playing him. He did a great job. But if it wasn't Bailie, who do you guys think should play the Toymaker? Any ideas on who would be good at him?

(Too bad Michael Gough's too old to reprise the role. That guy was magnificent as the first one. Not to mention, he was also Alfred from Batman, which makes him doubly awesome. = ) )

Only 101 days 'til the Doctor Who Christmas Special!... And to think I used to wait months for Christmas. Ha. = )

I read...not sure where but it was somewhere legit...(I search so much dw stuff its ridiculous...) That Rose is suppose to be making another appearance this season, like I said I cant remember where I heard it but I did.

Hehehe I love that makes me think of my own

"A Rose grows by the Pond and the Pond flows to the River as it sings the sweet Song."

Better not steal that one Moffat I'm on to you <,<
