Hey guys and gals,
Anything could happen in Series 10. And I can't be bothered to make a general list of expectations or hopes now because they all come under the same topic, but in different lists. Plus it's a thing that is always going to be growing because I think of new things to predict or wish for all the time.
And it's nice to hear other people's hopes and expectations as well.
So... my predictions are that:
- Missy will STILL just want to be the Doctor's friend
- Peter Jackson is one of the two new writers that will make my head explode
- There will be another story set on Gallifrey
- Another Classic Who villain will return, whether they've been in New Who before or not
- We will get ANOTHER mystery box series arc
- The mystery box arc will have ANOTHER disappointing conclusion
- Moffat will appear in the Whoniverse in his last penned episode. His brain will explode in a heroic attempt to save the Doctor's life from the nasty baddie
My expectations for Series 10 are:
- Missy will appear very early in the series, because it was already stated this sort of thing would probably happen with the new companion in order to test her
- Mark Gatiss will write that Sleep No More sequel, and it will probably be rubbish like the original was
- Jamie Mathieson will write another episode featuring one of his new creative ideas
My hopes for Series 10 are:
- Neil Cross will come back and write episodes, because why not? Unless he's done with all the things I've heard him being commissioned to write, I doubt he will actually return for Series 10
- The 2016 Christmas Special will NOT be written by Steven Moffat, and he realises whoever it's written by, loads of people will STILL tune in to watch, and they will STILL say it sucked. So... no harm in trying, right? Just get someone who would be enthusiastic about writing a Christmas Special instead of Moffat who feels forced to it because of tradition.
- PLEASE say there is a story set on Gallifrey in Series 10, because the show desperately needs to define the narrative purpose of Gallifrey still existing and give that bitter taste of Gallifrey after Hell Bent a sweetie and actually have a focus on Gallifrey instead of milking the specialities of the Moffat creations
- Someone, at least ONE writer from Big Finish needs to write for the TV show. What do you lot think? A Marc Platt return? Matt Fitton? Jonathan Morris? Eddie Robson?
- Peter Capaldi WON'T leave Doctor Who after Moffat leaves and he will stretch across into the Chibnall era. Yeah, who am I kidding? We all know the real reason why Moff is leaving at Christmas 2017; so he can shame the entire Capaldi era for all of time.
- Every episode from the beginning of Series 10 will be an hour long, because they finally realised that sticking another episode onto a story does not necessarily make it more developed. *Cough*Under the Lake*Cough* *Cough*Before the Flood*Cough*
So if any of you randomly get a hope or prediction for Series 10, leave it here and we can discuss the possibilities of any of our theories and putting them in order of most likely to least likely.

Since its Moffat's last season, I expect that River and Weeping Angels will show up at some point. If it does turn out to be Capaldi's last season, then I expect Clara will make some kind of cameo (just like Rose did in End of Time and Amy did in Time of the Doctor). I also really hope that Capaldi doesn't leave with Moffat.

I imagine anything Galifery related is going to be wrapped up for awhile leaving things with a clean slate for Chris Chibnell. My guess? The Doctor will discover The Time Lords aren't purusing him at all and events will lead him back to Galifery where we'll learn that he's be used as a propogonda figure for social reform on Galifery. Reliasing that the truth will cause mass upheveal and disray on Galifery and an icy "Thank you, but shove off" from The Castalain, The Doctor leaves Galifery with the haunting fear that the new High Council, built on lies and deception, will be any better then the old one....

She's been in two series now and played a significant part in the finales for both -I'd imagine there going to want to leave the audience wanting for more, year delay or not.

Amy's story was done by Time of the Doctor, and Rose's was done by End of Time. I don't expect more than a cameo. Either a hallucination, or play with the fact that he can't remember her. Maybe have Clara check in on him when he's dying, and he has no idea who she is.

I'd be content with Twelve mentioncing her, with a sad, confused look on his face.....

Predictions: I'll love it more than any RTD season, as I have all Moffat series. It will be Capaldi's last Harness, Mathieson, Gattis...will all return. The new companion will indeed be another modern day British girl. She'll be pretty well known, as Jenna was, to UK viewers. The Paternosters come back for their last episode. Missy will be back Cybermen too And Daleks. There will be a cult name guest star, just like Maisie Williams. Rassilon will feature.
Hopes: That I'm wrong and Capaldi does another year, S11. That Series 10 lives up to Series 9 - some of the best Doctor Who ever. Moffat stays, as seems likely, for the Christmas 2017 ep. No Osgood, though Kate is welcome. Shona somehow comes back. Don't care how.

I think that this time Moffat will strip it right back. No returning River or Missy. Possibly a dalek or cybermen episode but no Davros. A running story through the series that is a clear and present danger, not an obscure mystery. And Capaldi will regenerate at Christmas into a Doctor with a pathological fear of tinsel, having had a ridiculously unfeasible run of bad luck with dying at Christmas recently.

Technically, that means that the Valeyard is free to show up any time now. The phrase "between twelfth and final" is within the context of having thirteen lives. It is regenerating into his final form, knowing that there is no chance of gaining a second regeneration cycle that causes the creation of the Valeyard. I fid this fits really well with the Tennant/Smith regeneration. Tennant's doctor had a lot of bitterness about regenerating, there was a lot of darkness in him anyway, the time lord victorious etc. and the creation of the Valeyard is a more satisfying explanation to me for the damage caused to the TARDIS than saying it was something to do with radiation. OK, we don't actually see the Valeyard onscreen, but there's a lot of interludes in the Eleventh Hour with the cloister bell causing Matt to rush back into the TARDIS. imagine if he's battling the newly born Valeyard rather than just recalibrating engines and moving the swimming pool the way he claims. Now all we need is the Big Finish audio!

No. I really wouldn't put it past him at this point. He's become far too predictable for us to be optimistic about that sort of stuff. He's become way too self-indulgent that I'm completely certain Missy will appear again "soon". (Don't really know what you can define as "soon" in this context)

I'm all for Missy coming back. Her interplay with Capaldi has been a highlight of Nu-Who. If Missy only appears at the end of Series 10 or the following Christmas ep, she'll have been offscreen for nearly 2 dozen episodes. A pretty decent rest. Based on the AI scores, the public think her eps are the best of the Capaldi era, too, so the perceived divisive nature of the character doesn't seem to translate to a wider audience.

Now all we need is the Big Finish audio! Well, obviously that's what they meant at the time. Since the Great Intelligence implied that the Valeyard is still in the Doctor's future, and since Amy's was the first face Eleven's face saw, I think we can assume that the Doctor didn't fight the Valeyard off screen in The Eleventh Hour. Now that we know that there are potentially limitless incarnations in between his twelfth and final ones, the Valeyard can concievably show up at any time.

Surely the Valeyard has to be created when the Doctor believes he is regenerating out of his twelfth body. At that time he believes that to be his last ever regeneration. He doesn't know at that time that he's going to get a new regeneration cycle, Gallifrey is gone so he doesn't believe it's possible. What happens later just isn't relevant.

We really don't know enough about the Valeyard's origins to know if he had to come during what the Doctor believes to be his final regeneration. Besides, maybe the Master only knew that the Valeyard was born during the Doctor's final regeneration, and just assumed that that was between the twelfth and final incarnations. That way, we can assume that at some distant point in the future, the Doctor will run out of regenerations again, and that will be when the Valeyard is born.
