And in regards to River Song, I have no idea what-so-ever. The Rani, Omega, Lucy Saxon... there are so many theories.
...or his wife.

I thought it said at the end of the last series she was his wife? Maybe I got it wrong, but I will be tuning in. Anyone catch game of thrones?

It's hinted at it since she came into it in series 4. At the end of the Big Bang, it went a little like this:
Doctor: Are you married? River: Are you asking? Doctor: Yes. River: Yes. Doctor: wait, did you think I was asking you to marry me or asking if you were married? River: Yes.
So, yeah, it's never actually been said that they are married. I doubt they will be either, It'd be too obvious.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain that all of the fan rumors about River are probably gonna turn out to be wrong. I've heard a lot of them: she's his wife, she's Amy from the future, she's a chameleon arched Time Lord (Rani or Romana), the "wonderful man" she killed was the Eighth Doctor before he regenerated into the Ninth. Steven Moffat's pretty much dismissed all of these as being incorrect. Then again, he's also very fond of throwing the fans curveballs, to the point of blatantly lying in interviews. So, he's not exactly trustworthy either.

I would've loved to see the eighth Doctor in it, but I doubt it'll happen. The 1996 film was pretty poor (fucking yanks), but Paul McGann could've made quite a good Doctor.
According to Moffat, someone's gonna die in the opening episode...[/color]

McGann's one of my favorite Doctors, based on his audio adventures and his portrayal of the Doctor in the movie (which I admit was garbage, due entirely to Universal not knowing how the fuck to handle Doctor Who.) He's in my top five. Matt Smith, Tom Baker, Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy, and David Tennant, in that order.
Also, I can't imagine who's going to die. My only guess is that it won't be a permanent death, because according to Moffat, what's going to happen at the mid-season cliff hanger is going to be a game changer for Rory and Amy, leading me to believe they'll both still be alive at that time. And, we've technically already seen how River dies, in the Library saving Tennant's Doctor. Unless we're really gonna get into some timey-wimey shit, I don't see how she's gonna be the one to die.
Which leaves the Doctor. And... I don't really see how they could get away with killing him off.

I've seen a couple of clips and there's an excellent scene where Amy, Rory and River know something that th Doctor can't know. River's saying 'trust me' and the Doctor's listing reasons why he can't. He seems to be at his most harsh.
Judging by the trailer, this series looks by far the darkest. The best episodes in any of the past series seems to be the darker ones. Series 5 was the best series ever and I think it's going to be extremely hard to top that. There's only so much you can do after blowing up the entire universe...
Have you seen the mini-episode they did for Comic Relief? It's a UK charity event, but it's probably online somewhere.[/color]

Would that be the "Time" and "Space" mini-episodes where Amy flirts with herself from slightly in the future?
Because I very much enjoyed that. I kind of think Karen Gillan is the single most attractive woman on earth.

Even I would.
And yeah, that one. Amy's by far my favourite companion. And Matt Smith's my favourite Doctor. And I'm glad Rory's actually got his name in the opening credits now. And I love River. I like the fact that he has a proper entourage now and not just one girl. And Moffat's easily the best writer.[/color][/nerdgasm]
