Doctor Who: 10 Ingeniously Tiny Clues To Big Plots

1. Regenerations

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXCpY_3Sac8 'The Day of the Doctor' has been and gone, and now, we look to 'The Time of the Doctor', with tissues at the ready. But how could Matt Smith possibly die? Well, let's look at the clues of previous regenerations. The First Doctor was famously the grandfather, the old man, and he died of old age. The Second Doctor was a meddling clown who met his end after he interfered with history too much, and he needed to call in someone a little more serious. The Third Doctor was an action hero who died protecting UNIT, and the Fourth was an unpredictable alien, murdered by the Master, a fellow unpredictable alien. The Fifth Doctor assembled teams of companions, and died for one; the Sixth was a melodramatic egotist who died from a knock to the head from someone nearly as over-the-top as him. And the Seventh Doctor, the manipulator, died when a human Doctor interfered with his wounds. We now know that the Eighth Doctor, that hopeful, romantic, almost Messiah-like presence of the TV movie, died because he couldn't accept a young girl's death, and was resurrected in a cave. The Ninth Doctor died saving a companion who had nursed him back to himself, and helped him not commit the same atrocity he defined himself by. The Tenth Doctor was an old man who would do anything for his friends. He died saving a fellow old man, and went on to go and help each of them before he went. Even the War Doctor €“ the Doctor who chose to be the Doctor "no more" €“ died when there was need for a Doctor again. That's not television, it's poetry, and I don't know about you, but I'll be in floods of tears if Eleven says he doesn't like endings. Have you noticed any big clues or huge coincidences in Doctor Who? What are your favourites? How do you think Eleven will regenerate? All comments are welcome, as always!
