Season 7 Finale Spoiler Summery

• The last 3 years have all been a lie - Time has been rewritten. 
• In a timeline we haven't been shown directly but this one has been created to overwrite, in order to prevent something from stealing the Tardis the Doctor was forced to blow the ship up, killing his long term companion Clara Oswald in the process and trapping himself inside a time-loop forever watching her die. Not to be cheated of its prize the villain uses the moments left to it to use the Tardis to re-write time, rewriting the Timelords History in the process so as - in this reality (the one we've seen) the villain wins and the Doctor will never have been able to destroyed the Tardis.
• The Silence are not an alien species - they're biological off-shoots of the Tardis own Architectural Reconfiguration system - it's why they are memory proof. They're literally built out of Tardis.
• River Song cheated her death in the Library a bit like the Doctor cheated his death at lake Silencio.Though the Library version of River was wholly flesh and blood, she was literally the equivalent of a River Song wearing a River Song suit. The real River was stored in the Data-stick
• Clara is the Doctors original companion from the other timeline. In that reality he never crash-landed in Leadworth shortly after regenerating, never travelled with Amy Pond. Clara has always been his companion since his 11th incarnation began.
• The reason there are so many Clara's is that the original Clara was trapped in the Tardis Library when the Doctor blew up the ship - the Tardis was trying to save her but had nowhere onboard to send her so it tried to send her somewhere safe off-ship, most probably where-ever the Doctor is. Unfortunately, an exploding Tardis exists at all points in time and space simultaneously.
• The message Run You Cleaver Boy and Remember was implanted into Clara's data-pattern saved by the Tardis by the digital version of River uploaded into CAL.
•  The Doctors past has been radically re-written from the original - the consequences of that carry over to the Anniversary Special.
• Pretty much everything you think you know is a lie.

I hope that helps. Probably won't leading up to the finale, but when look back you'll see where it all occurred.

More to follow concerning the Anniversary, soon.

RED.

Clara.

I'm going to try now and tell you what really happened in the only way it can - with one of those typically brilliant Steven Moffat twists - what really happened can only be told as a story.

 And so, boys and girls. If you're sitting comfortably.... 

Once Upon A Time  

There was a hansom Timelord who travelled through Time & Space in a Box. He didn't travel alone, he had an intelligent and very pretty companion to keep him company. Clara, with whom he'd shared many, many incredible adventures. There was no such place as Leadworth and neither had ever heard of River Song.

So many incredibly small minded, miserable farts at Gallifrey Base were so happy about living in that world, really. You have no idea.

Then one day the unthinkable happened. Steven Moffat taking over was just coincidence. 

Something hostile over ran the Tardis. Totally. Seized it in a grip it would never let go of and left the Doctor with no choice at all. Non-what-so-ever. He couldn't allow the Tardis to fall into the wrong hands, not knowing what this creature would do with it if not stopped there and then.

Rather than allow that to happen the Timelord did the only thing he could do and blew up the ship.

Clara was trapped in the Tardis Library. 

If a non-belligerent life form is detected in a room about to be deleted the Tardis tries to deposit it in the Main Control Room - but during a self-destruct the Main Control Room is ejected into a time-loop in order to try an preserve the life of the pilot. The Tardis scooped her up easily enough, but had nowhere on board the ship to send her - so it tried sending her off-ship, somewhere safe.

An exploding Tardis exists in all points of time and space. 

She was basically sent everywhere. Endless duplication. 

The original Doctor got to watch her die (or so he believed) on the Control Room monitor -  over and over, forever. 

And that was how things ended. 

Or at least, that's how they would have ended, if what had taken over the Tardis hadn't stepped in. It wasn't about to let the Timelord cheat it out of its prize. Not when it had come so close.

In the Library was a book, the original of this:

In the fraction of a second it took to absorb the content it immediately acquired the knowledge it needed about how to use a Tardis to rewrite time, even if all the time there is is just one single moment - a time machine can use it.

It viewed itself a God. An angry one, cheated. In this new History he wasn't just going to kill the Timelord this time around. That would be a kindness. No. This book was more fitting. This book described how a true God extracts revenge:

And so this was how River Song was originally conceived and came to be - Pandora and all she entailed made real. 

"Trust you to fall in love with a woman from a book" Rory Williams would joke in the reality that would be created as the Doctor sat in the park with him and Amy that last time reading Melody Malone, neither realising how literal and true that statement was or could possibly be. 

River was created as a weapon to extract revenge. 

But what the mind that created her never considered, being the God that it is, that the woman it created to extract revenge for it might also have idea's of extracting revenge for herself - and everyone she loved.

Of course, I could tell you more.

But spoilers, sweety. Spoilers....

If you're ever lost or in doubt - Go back to The Library. The answers are all there.

 

What Are The Silence - *Spoiler*

Every thing You Could Possibly Want, And Worse.

Living metal. Bespoke engineering. Whatever machine you require, this system will build it.

Tardis Architectural Reconfiguration System. It reconstructs particles to your needs. A machine that makes machines out of the Tardis's basic genetic material.

It's why The Silence are memory proof - perception filter technology is hard-wired into the very fabric of a Tardis's basic material. Even a Tardis key has enough of the capability in it to have allowed the Doctor to construct perception filters for himself and his comrades in the past.

The Silence are basically biological off-shoots of the Tardis's own technology.

When the Universe was rebooted - it was rebooted out of an exploding Tardis. The resultant Universe and, consequently, reality produced has Tardis technology built into its very fabric on a fundamental level.

The actual internal dimensions of a Tardis are infinite, as established in Journey To The Centre of The Tardis - there are no limits to how much and what a Tardis's Architectural Reconfiguration System can produce. 

Whatever system you require. This system will build it.

It doesn't distinguish between machine and living - it's both. Doesn't distinguish between fact and fiction, dreams and reality, imagination and memory, myth - to it, it's all data. All equally as valid. Code.

Code. To be assembled and reconfigured - no different from particles - and used to build other machines which in turn build other machines, recursively.

It's primary function is to build Tardis. 

And now you know how Amy was able to remember the Doctor into existence.

Her Raggedy Doctor and his mad blue box.

Knitting For Girls - or - How To Make Your Own History Like The Silence Do.

The Silence construct History in exactly the same way they go about constructing the machines they need. They don't actually build them themselves, they get others to create and build the parts and then they assemble them, reconfiguring the component pieces in a new configuration.

It's never mattered the fact the Doctor didn't actually physically die at Lake Silencio 

Killing the Doctor was never what that whole thing was about - it was about artificially creating the Fixed Point out of the naturally occurring Still Point which existed there.

All they needed was the Fixed Point - it's a component. Add that to the other bits of History they've engineered - and viola! 

You have a stunning twin-set - or - an alternate History, constructed out of the individual bits and pieces that made up the original - taken from different points in time and space and, once brought together, assembled in a new configuration that performs a different function.   
 

All they need is the parts, which they can order for Tuesday

It doesn't matter the order we run into them being either manufactured or put together, when or where or by who. It's just like the way they go about making machines they need. Living organisms are just like other forms of machine to them. See what has actually been happening:

• River talks the Doctor into removing himself from every data base in History - currently, as far as paper goes, he never existed.
• The Silence artificially engineer a Fixed Point where History records the Doctor died.
• River blows up the Tardis allowing the creation of a reality in which the Doctor never existed.
• The Doctor is remembered into existence and memory, just like any other form of data, is editable.

Slap it all together, reconfigure the order and basically you have the situation that - when The Question is asked, when no living creature can fail to answer or answer falsely - the Doctor simply won't be able to answer.

Why Silence Must Fall.

The Wedding of River Song reveals a Prophesy concerning Trenzalore, which runs thus:

“On the fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the Eleventh, when no living creature can speak falsely or fail to answer - a question will be asked, a question that must never, ever be answered”

The Silence exist with one avowed purposed, to ensure that Silence Will Fall - that The Question will be asked is predetermined - like history recording that the Doctor died at Lake Silencio - it's an event which must be seen to happen.

Aren't The Silence supposed to be trying to stop the Doctor by killing him in order to stop him reaching Trenzalore?

The short answer to that being, no. It's entirely misdirection. The Silence - The Sentinels of History as they prefer to be called - are rewriting time, creating a History in which - when The Question is asked - Silence falls. 

This is their purpose. Why they exist. What they were created for.

For this what they actually need to do is create the events which make up the new History they exist to create - based entirely on the bits which composed the original series of events, chopped up, broken apart and stitched back together again in a completely different order.

Think of this like the machines Silence assemble. 

1969 And The Warehouse  

Go back in time to The Impossible Astronaut - the technology The Silence assembled. The parts came from all over the place, much of it alien technology blended with that of contemporary earth at that point in time and, once assembled, made to function in new and mysterious ways.

The Silence themselves  don't actually originate anything. They allow other life forms to originate and manufacture the parts, which they (The Silence) then collect as component parts and assemble into a new configuration.

The different species that manufacture for them, they view in no different way to the component's they programme them to manufacture and produce for them.

All simply parts of a machine of ever increasing complexity and function.

And they do exactly the same thing with time....

The Oldest Question in A Fake Universe - not "Who Left The Gas On?" After all...

But Doctor, Who?

Think about what you've seen. Season 5's The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang.

Reality was destroyed by the Tardis explosion - the Doctor flying the Pandorica into the exploding Tardis was able to reboot the Big Bang, thus bring back the Universe. The price however being the Doctor, trapped in the nether regions between worlds and never having been born as far as reality is concerned.

This Universe, basically, isn't anywhere near as old as you'd think. 

In this reality Amy had to remember the Doctor into existence - that isn't the same reality as the one everyone started in.

And Doctor Who? gets to be the operative point simply because Amy had to remember him into existence.

It's all been just a big fat lie!

We assume that nothing changed after The Big Bang - Steven Moffat certainly doesn't appear to do very much to dissuade us from the impression. 

But step back and look at logically - a person can only possibly remember what they know, and the very furthest back Amy's formative memory's of the Doctor go is the Raggedy Doctor she first met as a child - the Timelord not yet settled into his new incarnation. 

Not quite yet fully 11, not quite yet entirely stopped being 10.

At the time Amelia first met the Raggedy Man she remembered into existence at her wedding years later, technically he was still partially two incarnations.

There is no further back than that as far as this reality is concerned.

Reality was made to be this way for this exact reason.

If in doubt. Always go back to The Library.

Creating a version of the Doctor, stripped of his actual life - it's essentially no different in concept than the digital version of Donna saved to the virtual world of The Library's mainframe, her actual physical self elsewhere externally.

In the form the Doctors in, just like Donna, his history can be altered, his life integrated into a completely different history. One that never was, but what the Doctor believes is true.

Just as it was for Donna. The difference is simply in terms of scale.

How Steven Moffat Killed Doctor Who

The Doctor's been Dead Since The Big Bang.

Which seems like such a totally mad thing to say, doesn't it? That the Doctor is dead. Has been dead in fact since the dénouement of The Big Bang back in 2010. Just seems totally mad. 

Don't worry, it's supposed to. About the last thing you were supposed to have left The Big Bang with was any idea of what actually took place back then, story wise. That would have made the intervening time just a little bit redundant.
 
But it's not as if you weren't either told or shown what actually took place. You were simply left to fill in the blanks yourself. 

And that's exactly what you did.

Let me show you what really happened.

"I remember you Raggedy Man and you are late for my wedding!"

Memory is just what it is. The impression one person leaves upon another. It's not the actual person, it's simply you're memory of them. 

Memory can be altered.

And that is what The Silence do.

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.
