lizbee: (DW: River + hair + gun)

When Ms Kovarian was talking about the ongoing war against the Doctor, I thought she was going to be talking about the Time War.

This is because [personal profile] jesuswasbatman has this excellent theory that "Kovarian" is a kova(cover) name for the Rani (rian/Rani). And that totally works with what we've seen so far.

So here's my crack theory: the Rani, and maybe a handful of other Time Lords, escaped or were never in the Time Lock, and they are using former Time Lord weapons like the Silents to take their revenge on the Doctor for the destruction of Gallifrey/cheating in his temporal theory exams/being a giant prat/I'm sure there are lots of reasons that Time Lords hate the Doctor.

...unrelated, but you know how there was this theory, common among people who dislike River, that she's the Doctor's mum? I kind of hope that theory's still around, because that would make Amy and Rory his grandparents. And that would be hilarious.

How can you possibly hear/read the dialogue on the show and conclude that River is the Doctor's mother? Unless you mistakenly think you're watching Game of Thrones?

I think it's meant to be a punishment for her not being twenty.

I was composing a reply and then I saw your icon. Now that I've finished laughing my arse off, I really can't think what to say.

Not the same thing at all, I know. But thanks to that paragraph, I now have this song in my head (YouTube vid of a Muppet show bit)

LOL! True...

Trufax: it's a songified version of an essay by Mark Twain, who in turn wrote the essay spurred by the meme of writing fake letters to newspapers asking for advice, re: suddenly realizing you're your own grandfather...

My theory if she's the Rani is that she's working with people who do think that little Melody is a weapon against the Doctor, but her true plan is to use Melody as the type for a new generation of Time Lords. I think that the people she's working with don't know she's a Time Lord herself, or if they were able to check that she somehow managed to turn herself biologically human while retaining all of her identity and memories. Unless she's managed to do the Zaphod Beeblebrox thing and turn herself into an amnesiac human with subliminal drives to fulfil her original plan.
