Door 11 "Fear"

[Deleted User] · 17/09/11 - 20:19

So when the Doctor opened door #11 "Very fitting by the way"
What do you think he saw, It was clearly a Tardis because of the noise i also distinctly heard the cloister bell meaning something went wrong. Could it be the valleyard since he's nearing it? Or could it simply be the Master

Speculate!!! I'm interested in hearing all theories on this subject.

What was his greatest fear! And what will he do now he doesn't have Rory and Amy as company, Will he simply travel alone or find someone else someone who won't be killed so easily as us Humans?

His TARDIS going BOOM!!

Maybe his greatest fear links in with the end of the episode: his companions dead around him. Although River Song, or the Doctor himself would also be fitting.

He saw himself imo.

rumpleteazer · 17/09/11 - 20:21

I think it was himself, linking to Amy's Choice where he was the Dream Lord

My guesses are The Doctor himself, The Impossible Astronaut or a Timelord(Possibly Rassilon)?

Although after "What do Timelords worship?" and the Silence's symbol, I think it's all but comfirmed by Moffat himself that what's in room 11, and the big bad, is Omega.

i first thought of river, he put the DND sign on there, maybe they made out and it was his fear..lol.....he said ah who else? but even the writer left it open..no doubt for moff to refer back to at some point

then i thought of regeneration, I guess it could be anything.

Spoilerific · 17/09/11 - 20:28

The Master, Omega, Rassilon, I mean really?! You could well be right, but to me THAT's a cop out.

I hope I got the idea right, but the idea of the thing behind the door was their biggest fear, but not to scare them, it was there to encourage their faith or belief in whatever they have faith or believe in.

So to me, The Doctor wouldn't see any of those characters above because he's seen them before, and they don't properly 'scare' him.

I believe the Doctor saw himself for what he is, and what he potentially will be. And I think the '11' on the door is the clue.

LordofGallifrey · 17/09/11 - 20:29

I believe that when he looked in the room he saw his fear which was to be alone in the TARDIS at the end of everything, which is why the cloister bell could be heard.

He saw Michael Grade.

Suranne Jones

sandydune · 17/09/11 - 20:33

He saw nothing in the room.

LightningIguana · 17/09/11 - 20:35

David Tennant with a fresh contract.

But I think he saw himself, alone, on the day of his death.

donna255 · 17/09/11 - 20:35

He said,"Of course him"

[Deleted User] · 17/09/11 - 20:36

I really hope we never find out. I don't think any solution they come up with is likely to be satisfying or scary enough.

I thought he said "Of course, what else?"

Correct, he did.

He may have seen himself or his death seems the two obvious things...his death because we are all scared of that...him...because it would be the philosophical thing.

Rooks · 17/09/11 - 20:45

But didn't they reveal that it wasn't fear but faith/belief?

If so then the sound of the Tardis is related to the absolute faith that the Doctor has in his blue box.

Edit: Actually I'm not sure about this. The line between fear and faith wasn't too clear at several points in the episode.

thats what i thought! I thought he would have seen himself alone in the TARDIS, after Amy, Rory, River and everyone else had left him...

[Deleted User] · 17/09/11 - 20:46

I was fairly sure it was Amelia, after all we did see the same 'Do Not Disturb' sign fall from the handle of the room they were hiding in as the whole place disappeared. Fear of letting her down and not being able to save her, which is what motivated him to 'save' them at the end.

[Deleted User] · 17/09/11 - 20:58

I don't think we'll find out for sure but there was an implication.

The 'Do Not Disturb' sign was purple which
(cutting two years of analysis short)
has been used in series 5&6 as a colour metaphor for Rose.

MinkytheDog · 17/09/11 - 20:59

A mirror.

Wait, Rose is his biggest fear?

Nice

Amy and Rory, dead in a dying Tardis but The Doctor himself alive and having to go on.
