Speculation is flying thick and fast. There's the rumor that only half of Ten will regenerate and he'll be stuck looking like a Siamese twin for the next little while. There's the rather ridiculous ideas of him turning into Donna and her getting accidentally killed by Daleks because they can't tell the difference...we have the same problem with Daleks.
Every male actor from the UK is being offered up as Number 11. That includes Bill Nighy (Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean), Simon Pegg (The blonde guy in Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz,) Richard Armitage (Guy of Gisborne in Robin Hood series,) John Simm (He played the Master last year,) Michael Gambon (New Dumbledore since Richard Harris died)...and some I've never even heard of. Somebody named Robert Carlisle is a particular favorite of the press (and the bookies, too,) but apparently not of the fans, if the running commentary going on beneath the articles is any indication of where things are going.
There's wild rumor growing. Utter confusion reigns. RTD appeared on Confidential and happened to list three movies that apparently had some sort of quantum relation to each other and it was immediately turned into A CLUE. I even got in on the fun a bit, watching David Tennant's eyebrows for any sort of hint or sign that Ten was going to live through all of this...
And don't even get me started on the Osterhagen key. If Donna turns into the Rani and the key winds up being the Destroyer of the Dalek mothership that we should have blown up all along...AUGH.
But for all those ninnies who haven't figured out that Ten is going to live through this episode and the next 4 specials, go look on Youtube and type in 'journey's end spoilers'." HELLO. There we are. Pictures of Ten standing on a beach with what appeared to be Rose, Jackie, and Donna. Since we've yet to see Jackie and we've yet to see a beach this season, TEN IS FINE.
I gotta say, it would be a massive ruse going back to last September if he was really going to die. That's when the BBC reported he'd be around for those 4 specials next year. That's a long time to stretch a lie.
What do I think happened? The Doctor was supposed to have one of his regenerations go bad at some point between his 11th and 12th regenerations. What if RTD decided it'd be okay to use that prophecy a body earlier? Wouldn't be a big stretch. Also, that hand was glowing again...
My other question: 5 and 7 showed up for Confidential. Why? I know 4's a recluse, 6 got fired, 8 might show up, and 9, well, Lord knows where he is, but why were those two specifically there? Could it only be because they were the ones who dealt with Davros in the past and they still couldn't get 4 out of hiding?
And guess what? I won't get to see this finale until Sunday night, since my parents computer is for all intents and purposes, dead. So I get to speculate and thrash around in suffering until Thursday and then I get cut off.
What's the betting I'll be pushing Dad out of the house at 5 AM on Sunday?
As for this body that I reside in, everything's really good. Terrifyingly good. I'm completely off prednisone and have been for about a week now, and since the weather's been good I haven't had too many problems. I do notice I have less stamina than I used to when on the pills. I am a little achy in the mornings. But considering how bad it was the last time I was in this position I think I prefer it.
This isn't good when it comes to the doctor, though. I want to look sick and I don't. I feel pretty damn good-not something I want to feel in front of him. So I'm torn between being gleeful that I feel good, being terrified that it's going to fall apart any second, and feeling guilty because I feel good.
I told Kris I'm going to stop reading those ridiculous columns of wild speculation because nobody is going to talk this week and give the game away, so we might as well settle down and wait this out. But it's going to be a very long week for all of us...and 24 hours more for me than for anyone else, and that sucks.
Ta,
Bec
