Clara didn’t actually die in the asylum and she actually became the Dalek Emperor. When Rose absorbed the time vortex she saw good in the Dalek Emperor and so sent her through different time eras to help the Doctor when he most needed it. Notice how she always obeys the Doctor? She also got the TARDIS’ phone number from “a girl in a shop”, Rose perhaps? During “The Snowmen” she wears a Rose in her hair. What do y’all think of that?

That’s what I suspected. I’ve always meant to get those, since they sound really good. But like the New Adventures, they’re not canon. ;-) The Moff doesn’t have to follow them. It would probably be nice if he did, but it’s not obligatory.

The Cartmel Masterplan is closer to canon, as it would have been played out if Sylvester McCoy’s tenure hadn’t ended so abruptly after “Survival”. Part of that survives in spin-off media: the Gallifrey Chronicles and Lungbarrow, in particular. Yet at least one crucial element of Lungbarrow was contradicted on the show: we saw the young Master, and if Lungbarrow is correct, Time Lords emerge full-grown, so I think we must assume that spin-off media are, at best, guidelines, and that things like the futures of Susan and Romana and Ace are still fair game.

BTW, I actually hope the spin-off media is ignored, because if we take them as canon, then Romana became President. The events of “The End of Time” I believe really could only work if she’d been killed in that continuity. So I prefer to imagine she didn’t become President, so I can imagine she’s still in E-Space and has survived the Time War and Rassilon’s renewed Presidency. ;-)

@Calli Arcale Yeah, from the spin off audio Drama's by Big Finnish. But ther're so good I consider them set in the same continutie as TV Doctor Who.

I’m guessing that’s from spinoff media or fanfiction? Either way, not canon. ;-) If “Lungbarrow” has been contradicted, then Susan’s timeline after her brief appearance on “The Five Doctors” remains fair game! :-D

@Calli Arcale
Oh, I can tell you what happend to Susan.
After The Doctor left her on Earth after The Dalek Ivasion to find roots of her own, she married a human man and later had a child with him called Alex, the Doctor great grandson (Played by Jake Mcgann, Paul Mcganns son)
The 8th Doctor eventually met Alex and met Susan again. It turned out Alex was mostly human and could not regenarate.
The Doctor later invited Alex and Susan over to the TRADIS for Christmas, which didnt exactlly go well.

Then when the Daleks invaded Earth again, Susan and Alex were sadly killed, trying to save the Doctor, along with his companion, Lucie Miller. These losses sent the Doctor in a dark state, wearing new clothing and a new hairstyle.

Now as for what I thinks going to happen in the next episode, something big. If SM plays this right, this could Really change Doctor Who for the better. If he plays it wrong, I dont want to think about it…

Conor — I have seen it teased before (by Jenna Louise Coleman herself) that the Doctor has indeed met her previously. Of course, it occurs to me now that this doesn’t necessarily mean he met her in a televised adventure. And, well, timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly, it could be in the Doctor’s future still. But I think she probably did mean it’s someone that *we* have seen before as well. not just someone from the Doctor’s past. Personally, I rather hope she turns out to be Susan, though I don’t think it fits the clues very well. Part of me just really wants to know what became of her.

From promo pics that have been released especially those by bbc america i think clara could be a former companion (romana my guess) or she is a timelady though romana was but clara is another timelady, perhaps.

@Mia Ooh, the Trickster Brigade, that sounds a good theory!

They wont reveal his name, The Moffs as much of a die-hard fan as anyone and he knows revealing his name would ruin the entire show
As for Clara i have no idea, but considering he’s saying its going to send classic whovians reeling, i doubt the eleventh doctor is the first to meet Clara:P

I came up with my very own theory yesterday, which I’m very excited about. I have it written down on my computer and I shared it with my sister, but I haven’t shared it with anyone else yet. I can tell you it does include the Trickster’s brigade.
