Doctor Who Season 7b Finale - The Name of The Doctor - *SPOILERS*

  The world is a lie.


Everything you've seen this last three years is wrong. This was never how the world was meant to be. Time has been rewritten.

If you find yourself reading this, you already know that what you've been watching hasn't been making complete sense. You don't quite know what it is about what you've seen - perhaps you feel there's something you're missing, perhaps you just believe that Steven Moffat is just a lazy writer and have put it down to that.  

Hold on to your hat. This is where it gets interesting....

 What really happened.


The timeline you've been watching - everything from The 11th Hour onwards - is a rewritten version of what actually originally occurred. Non of what you've seen was originally have meant to have occurred. Time has been rewritten. You've even seen events being rewritten in front of you  - the Doctors "death" at Lake Silencio is a prime example - you just haven't realised what's actually been occurring.

We'll go into more specific detail in subsequent posts. Basically what you need to do right now is forget everything you think you know about what's been going on to date. It isn't going to help you. Not right now.

Take your mind back instead to Silence in The Library/Forest of The Dead.

"Donna Noble has left The Library. Donna Noble has been saved."


In Silence in The Library/Forest of The Dead Donna Noble tries using The Library teleport system to get back to the Tardis. Instead she's intercepted and saved inside the CAL-Mainframe in a form that can be rewritten, edited and integrated into an entirely new History that actually isn't her own. An entirely new life, one she's never lived yet believes and accepts as being hers and true because her actual memories have been overwritten with completely made up ones. A whole different chain of events. A whole different life.

This is basically what's been happening to the Doctor ever since The 11th Hour - the core idea.

Go back to Silence in The Library/Forest of The Dead - Donna's time in the CAL-Mainframe. There are plenty of clues there for you to find. Not going to list them all here - too many - but here are a few to give you something to think about:

  • The fake reality entails the character meeting and getting married to their ideal partner - compare/contrast The Doctor/River Song.
  • The fake reality entails events starting off and establishing themselves in and around a Hospital - compare/contrast The 11th Hour
  • The fake reality contains a suited figure who changes perception by editing memory, Doctor Moon - compare/contrast The Slience.
  • As the fake reality collapses, characters cease to exist - compare/contrast The Big Bang - they even visually end the same way with a burning read sky. 
  • Check-out the DATA-Nodes in The Library - remind you of any Spoon-heads you've seen recently...? 

There's more, much. For now,  just keep this core idea clearly in you're head - the idea of a person being integrated into a fake reality and being altered so as they believe it's real.

This is what has been happening to the Doctor. And still is.

Trenzalore is just where the final part of the rewrite takes place.
