For the last several seasons, Doctor Who episodes have built up to a series finale with an overarching story line for each series. This year, Doctor Who seems to have dropped that in favor of single one-and-done episodes with very few connections from episode to episode. However, I have noticed that there seems to be some hidden recurring themes in the first three episodes of this season. Could they be giving us hints at where the season is going? Or are they completely random coincidences?
Take a list at what we have spotted below and you be the judge.
1. Eggs!
Eggs? Yes, eggs. Everyone’s favorite scrambled breakfast food has been mentioned or seen in all three of this season’s episodes thus far. Of course, there was the great eggs reveal in Asylum of the Daleks. Eggs-term-inate! And Riddell stepped on a T-Rex egg in Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. I will admit that those could be nothing. But then, Kahler Jex’s ship clearly looks like a giant egg. There is no way that this is not something. What though? Maybe it signals the return of The Master who will hatch from an egg laid by a Gallifreyan stork?

I have to admit, I hadn’t picked any of these up! While they’re probably nothing… actually the Christmas ones are definitely something as we all know that will be the traumatic moment of the year, the lightbulbs and eggs must be Moffat poking fun at us.
I think the light bulbs are more a hint to the Weeping Angels, which we know are coming to take the Ponds in 2 weeks.
Nice thinking JP!
Now… the eggs… what do they mean… New beginnings? Maybe the whole Oswin thing is a “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”…
Originally, there were more themes, but A Town Called Mercy eliminated all but these three. And although I say that they could be coincidence, we all know that there is no such thing as coincidence in Doctor Who.

Isn’t there another one? The doctor has been scanned by something in every episode.
1) By the daleks
2) By solomon
3) By The cyborg thing
4) By The UNIT lady.
