Dr Who in the Library - DS driving me mad with questions [SPOILER MAYBE!]

Incessant Qs from DS, he has seen a trailer with Rose in, and Daleks??? Badgering me to know who the little girl is, who the archaeologist with the screwdriver is, one of them/both of them must be Rose? He needs to know if Donna is dead or not, etc. etc.... can't wait til next week!!!!

I think the reason no-one's answering is that no-one knows the answers. (Unless Aitch is still reviewing - I haven't seen anything from her this season)
If the archaeologist is Rose, then they are definitely playingtricks,a s she said she hadn't met the doctor yet - she may be a relation/connection of course.
I'm pretty sure the little girl isn't Rose either.
And [spoiler alert]

Donna isn't dead (unless it's in the Owen-from-Torchwood sense) because the next episode but two (after the second part of this one & the next) Donna is looking for Rose - according to Dr Who magazine it's a 'Sliding Doors' scenario

....I think the Archaeologist is Jenny (The Doctor's daughter, from a few episodes back) this would explain the time lord gear, and surely she can "regenerate" too (thus explaining the different appearance).

How sad am I for giving this serious consideration? Still. It helps numb the pain for allowing my feral 9 year old to stay up and watch "I want to be a Nancy with Graham Norton"

Sigh

Ahhhgggg gawd!

My DCs were fine but we've got a friend's DD staying over and she was incessant with the bloody questions during the programme! Drove us mad! Then she asked DH if he was alright.... cos he was so quiet

RustyBear · 31/05/2008 21:18

If it's Jenny, he must have met her again (before the library for her, after the library for him) because he didn't give her his sonic screwdriver when they met before.

When she said - you look younger, did she mean he had aged but was still in the same regeneration, or did she meet him in a future regeneration, and if so, how did she recognise him? Was it just because she was expecting him to be there, or did they pass the TARDIS on the way in?

beansprout · 31/05/2008 21:19

Ah, Jenny, of course!!!

MissingMyHeels · 31/05/2008 21:21

I thought she was just his girlfriend?

JackieNo · 31/05/2008 21:22

I had a feeling that Steven Moffatt had read 'The Time Traveller's Wife' - wasn't sure who she was though.

beansprout · 31/05/2008 21:24

It was quite like Blink in that the scary bit is a very simple premise.

Can't be Jenny. She told Donna that she knows the Dr in his personal future. The Dr already knows Jenny.

Who else could it be if it is not Rose or Jenny?

How could it be Rose?

Well, it could simply be a future companion - not actually anyone we know yet?

Or maybe they've got Alex Kingston signed up for one of the 'specials' in 2009?

JackieNo · 31/05/2008 21:39

Yes - I wondered whether she was a future companion.

prettybird · 31/05/2008 21:40

... yes, but it could be developed. The "screwdirver" that Alex Kingston had didn't look exaclty like the Docotr's one.

RustyBear · 31/05/2008 21:42

Just a thought, but when she made that hole in the wall, it looked more like Captain Jack's thing (forget what he called it) which the Doctor then swapped for a banana

bonkerz · 31/05/2008 21:44

am probably way off here BUT when the new woman foudn out who donna was she looked very shocked, at that point i considered maybe Donna dn doc had a child together and she was the result. Obviously donna would have died by then and woman suddenly realised donna was her mum??????? Like i said i am probably way off but wouldnt that be a lovely story!

retiredgoth · 31/05/2008 21:49

.....if you will excuse me, I would rather not think about Captain Jack's. er, thing. Ahem.

Which is all to cover the cogent arguments effectively deflating my dumb theory....

Sigh.
