These two ideas actually belong to treeckster. But I'll post them anyway :)

The first one is about three-time repeats.
We have three Moffat's series. And the first two of them brought the Doctor to his death. He's already avoided death twice. What will happen when he has to face it for the third time on the Fields of Trenzalore? Three is a migical number in mythology and fairy tales all over the world.

And another one is about The Question.
When is there no way not to answer a question?
When it is the Riddle of the Sphinx.
I wonder what it might mean in the context of Trenzalore...

Don't want to post it into my russian blog. I'm too serious about it. Too hysterical.
It's about River haters again.

When someone uses "she-is-too-old" argument, it only means, that he's run out of arguments. Because this is not one.
And then these people will talk about high moral grounds. And women's rights. And, well, about haters too. How can I take them seriously after that? How can anyone?
It just makes me think that I was right, when I supposed that such hatred is caused by possessiveness.

I hate losing friends.

...when "skinny Russian girls" is your strongest thinspiration.

Amazing "people with mirrors" at GB are discussing "The End of the World" at the moment. And after reading that thread an idea came to my mind about the Doctor's identity through all the NuWho. In TEOTW the Doctor - broken, bitter, lonely - is trying to make Rose a mirror of himself. He shows her the end of her home planet like he had seen the end of Gallifrey. And he makes her the last of her kind just like he is the last of his. This is his identity at the moment; as a Lonely God he is defined by the destruction of Gallifrey. The Doctor's identity in NuWho - a Lonely God - is defined by the Time War and the death of Gallifrey. And his quest for his identity started in series 1 (when Nine looks in the mirror for the first time, when he denies himself etc - see the actual thread), has passed through years and is going to continue in series 7. Moreover, series 7 is going to be all about identity because of all this stuff left about the Doctor's name, "Doctor Who?" and Trenzalore plotwise, and because of him coming back to trikster mode and his need to get over grief, loneliness and self-loathing he was given in NuWho, if we consider ideas. So he's gonna come back to the death of Gallifrey and then finally get over it and accept it. On the other hand, series 7 is leading us to the 50th Anniversary, where, I suppose, Gallifrey should come back in one way or another. And the timelock will be opened. There is a popular theory that the key to the timelock is the Doctor's name, i.e. his identity again. OMG. It feels so meta it hurts. What I'm trying to say is: at the moment the Doctor's identity is tied up with the end of Gallifrey, may be twice. And this is where we're going for series 7 and Anniversary. So please, please, Mr. Moffat, make his name the key to the timelock!!! Because this could be a brilliant plot device to show an 8-year-long search for identity.
P.S. I'll translate this into Russian in the morning.
P.P.S. And talking about names, the Doctor seems to have lost his identity as the Doctor after his "death". Well, he can't introduce himself as the Doctor now, he used "Caretaker" in the Xmas Special. Hmmm... May be I'm reading too much into it, anyway)))
