Doctor Who finale - a very quick thought...

[mrph]

So, the day of Doctor's death has arrived. Madame Kovarian is eagerly looking forward to it.


"Rule One - the Doctor lies".

Kovarian has now fooled the Doctor twice by using Gangers. She even commented on how amused she was to catch him with the same trick twice.

There'd be a beautiful symmetry if the Doctor's death at Lake Silencio was a reversal of the same trick. Assuming that a Ganger Doctor can (try to) regenerate, that is...

And, yes, Canton made a point of stating that this really was the Doctor and he really was dead. But the Doctor lies - especially when outsmarting his enemies - and he can be a bad influence on his friends, too... :-)

Oh, and one that just crossed my mind - first episode we saw River in: Silence in the Library.
Connected perhaps?

Between:
"The Doctor Lies"
and
"Amy rebooted the Universe"

there's a lot of room to blag a great deal of stuff.

Looking at it, it may be a prophecy of sorts, but it doesn't actually imply that the Doctor is going to die. I think we're just supposed to read it that way, because we've been told up front what's supposed to happen.

Oh, I forgot - in the Tardis, regeneration was disabled.
Disabled? Who, what, how?

My money's on the Flesh copy being involves somehow (and therefore being unable to regenerate perhaps?)
