Doctor Who Bingo predictions for the first series of Ncuti’s run! Can you tell that most of this is just me manifesting?

I put “unusable tardis” in the free space cause it would be cheating to put it elsewhere.

[crucialmistake]

just had a thought that maybe that's gonna be some timey wimey stuff happening and the person that's dropping ruby off at the church is ruby herself???? like after a season's arc of ruby and the doctor figuring out their pasts she has to learn to love what she is not what she could've been (same for the doctor)???

[please-attend-carefully]

What are everyone's big bold predictions for the rest of the anniversary specials?

Will Eight return? Eleven, maybe?

Comment or reblog with your predictions. Let's see what surprises everyone thinks are coming. We'll shout anyone who was right on the next episode of the podcast!

Okokok doctor who predictions

Neil Patrick Harris is one of the doctors old friends (I don't think the master because he's got this puppet thing going on) and he feels the doctor did something to wrong him and is taking it out on his favourite little pets (the human race) he has some kind of puppeteer power control type thing and Kate says something about 'how do we fight the human race' so I think he's controlling humans and making them do stupid and dangerous shit and destroying the planet. Maybe hr caught wind of Donna's past somehow and is trying to kill her because he knows how much the doctor cares about her? Those weird furry looking mfs are probably something to do with Neil's character and are scared of him(?) I don't think they're loyal to him at least. The doctor trys to split his energy between keeping donna safe and not remeber things AND helping the human race and Donna's mom obviously thinks he should focus more on donna. This is when Yasmin Finney (Rose apparently like jfc guys are you trynna kill the poor doctor????) Meets the doctor and she somehow gets roped into this because she refuses to leave when the doctor tells her and he saves her life probably.

Things that cannot defeat the TARDIS...

Being jettisoned into the Z-Neutrino energy core of the Dalek Crucible.

Being turned into a self cannibalising paradox machine by The Master.

Being shunted into a human body while it's own body gets possessed by a sentient TARDIS devouring asteroid.

Things that can defeat the TARDIS...

One cup of coffee with a splash of cold milk.

Can we talk about how 11 predicted River's inclination toward the several guns but never considered she would use a kiss against him?

[mwagneto]

rtd having to fight tooth and nail in the 2000s to put anything gay in dr who and in the process making scifi gay enough that now in the 2020s he can just do whatever the fuck he wants. they literally put the doctor flirting with a man IN THE TRAILER i'm gonna pass away

Check back here in 15 years… (a Doctor Who prediction)

Things we know:

David Tennant is intensely masterful at playing villains

Fans want David Tennant to play the Master

They’re going to need to go real big for the 75th Anniversary

RTD has confirmed that the Timeless Child is canon

The Timeless Children reveals that all Time Lords carry The Doctor’s DNA. And oh, boy, does the Master despise this knowledge.

Add this all together

What an absolute mind-fuck would the 75th Anniversary special be if they reveal David Tennant as a regenerated Time Lord, everyone thinking it’s the Doctor, only to have the gotcha moment of it being the Master, deliberately having chosen that face in order to to cause maximum carnage and pain.

David Tennant’s performance could actually kill us.

you ever stare into the middle distance and just. think. about how Doctor Who series one episode eight "Father's Day" first signaled that time itself had gone screwy by having the radio start playing a song that didn't exist yet in 1987....... and then lapse right back into Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." in an episode that aired on 14 May 2005. two full years before the invention of the rickroll.

My favorite thing about Ruby and 15 so far is that they are always on the same page forever. They’ve so immediately hit it off as besties and I love them and I can’t wait to eat my words when we learn Ruby was programmed to be the perfect dr. who companion and turns evil in the finale and tries to kill everybody

So I’ve been doing a little bit of thinkin’ after the two new episodes of Who about Susan Twist and I had a lightbulb moment I haven’t really seen anyone else talking about just yet.

Spoilers ahead for Wild Blue Yonder, Church on Ruby Road, Space Babies, and the Devil’s Chord. Ok, onto the theory!

We all know Susan Twist is going to be more than just an Easter Egg, but I think everyone is taking the actress’s name too literally. She’s not playing Susan.

She’s The One Who Waits.

She’s there. Always in the background. On the periphery. Watching. Waiting. Because everything leads back to her.

And the first time we see her is in the scene that has the first major world shift in the episode that set up this entire plotline about invoking superstition at the edge of the universe and letting something through.

And who do we encounter pretty much immediately after? The embodyment of Play (Toymaker). And then a little later in we meet the embodyment of Music (Maestro).

Which raises the next part of my theory: What is The One Who Waits the embodyment of?

Death

Death just sits, and waits, and watches, biding their time because everything has its time and Death comes for everything in the end.

And every time we’ve seen her, things start going really wrong. In WBY, she was one of the last people we saw before the Tardis landed on the spaceship, Donna almost died, and the Doctor almost let a NotWe loose on the universe. In Ruby Road, she’s watching Ruby and her friends perform the same night they nearly get crushed by the giant snowman head. She was one of the crew in Space Babies who were forced to leave the station and abandon all those babies to die. And in Devil’s Chord she was in the cafeteria when Paul and John are talking to the Doctor and Ruby about music before getting angry and leaving which, had the Doctor not intervened, would’ve lead to literal nuclear winter.

I feel like too many people are focusing on just the previous lore from the past 60 years which, for any other context makes sense. But this isn’t your granny’s Doctor Who anymore. The tone shift started in WBY means we need to think outside the Blue Box (that’s bigger on the inside) to figure it all out and for once, I think being into SuperWhoLock may have finally paid off! The NotWes are shapeshifters. The Bogeyman was basically a thought form (tulpa). The literal baby eating, musical goblins. The Toymaker and Maestro are both functionally gods. And which god waits patiently in the background?

Death.

It’s not a perfect 1 to 1 with Supernatural but if you find the midpoint between the two everything starts to click into place.

The final Big Bad of the season is The One Who Waits which is Death and not even the Doctor can fully cheat death, they can just keep running. So in the end the Doctor doesn’t actually defeat Death. He just traps them or delays them enough to get away so he can just keep running.

(Also Mrs. Flood is just a normal human who’s past was changed by the Doctor. In the start of the episode, before the Doctor properly meets Ruby (I don’t count the encounter at the club) she has no clue what the Tardis is. But as soon as the thing happens on the roof her past changed to include an encounter with the Doctor when she was younger (I think it’s going to be the episode with the slug things we’ve seen in the trailers because there’s a girl with blonde bangs in a season where coincidence is the driving force behind everything so it has to mean something) which is why her entire personality shifts by the end and she becomes nicer and suddenly knows about the Tardis and knows that Ruby has to go with the Doctor. She’s not Susan or Ruby’s mom. She’s just someone they save along the way.)
