well, CAMERA OBSCURA did put this idea into my head...


Now to figure how to do polls...

Well I'd go with the obvious ad say it will be Mels/River as the little girl before she regenerated into Mels.

Amy. I don't think it can be River/Melody, because it is 2011. And the way the Doctor speaks to the suit is very reassuring, so probably not himself. Probably completely wrong of course.

Got to go for none of the above, in a literal sense. The first thing River said when she was examining the suit was that it could be operated remotely.

Having said that, my money is on the Doctor, with the one getting shot being a ganger.

How come you haven't included the little girl, who presumably is a young Melody Pond?

Presumably that just counts as River Song

Oh hi Julian.

In that case they wouldn't have a seperate option for Mels, who is just another regeneration of Melody.

I don't think anybody is in there. It's programmed to act a certain way and The Doctor was pretending to talk to it for benefit of those watching.

The ganger theory is possible. In the Almost People the Doctor refers to the gangers there as "the beginning of ganger technology", so maybe a more advanced ganger would be more than Goo and could simulate regeneration?

Hi Everyone

I really am torn with this one but could only really vote for one.

I'm saying Old Amy - primarily because the Doctor appeared to be apologising to Amy after he was shot the first time (River and Rory both holding Amy back).

The reality is the Astronaut is likely going to be the Doctor though

Obviously, it's either Sally Sparrow or the Rani.

I think its the Doctor.

Not sure how it will be explained yet but the fact that the astronaut had its face hidden until he told it he knew who it was!

That's where my money lies, though I don't think it's the ganger doctor at all, for me thats just a red herring thrown out there.

It would be the laziest piece of writing in the Moff Dynasty if there was a ganger in the suit.

Ever since TAP/TRF people have beem going on about gangers non-stop; it's really irritating

Its obviously river songs twin brother or sister.

Now you dont seriously think Madame K did not have a backup plan?

I think it's Buzz Aldrin, outraged at the damage done to the reputation of astronauts everywhere. It doesn't pay to annoy Buzz.

You've got to think, who would be the most upset to be in that position...the answer, IMO the only answer is Amy.

Anyone else tempted to buy the Impossible Astronaut figure just to prise.the visor open?

I was just wondering though, that the little girl would be in the spacesuit, because the little girl in TIA is Melody as in DotM there was a picture of Amy holding the baby (Melody) but as people have pointed out, Amy looks happy and the hair is different in the picture, so they get Melody back? Unless it's continuity? Any thoughts? X

During the scene at the lake side, if you pause the video at exactly the moment when the person in the space suit lifts his visor you get to see what looks like the lower half of an adult male face.

Based on that my feeling is the ocupant is either Rory or the Doctor.

It's already openable

aha!

In TGWW we are told that it is 'impossible' for both Amys to occupy the same timestream.

We then have the 'Impossible' Astronaut!

Could the NASA suit shield who ever is on the inside from the current timestream?

Hmmmmm????

It's not the Pet Handbot Rory, Amy had in the Girl Who Waited is it?

Can't be. If it was Buzz Aldrin, he would have punched the Doctor, not shot him
