Oh, really!??! RTD said that? Of course, RTD LIES!!!!!!!!! Still, I'm feeling more optimistic after this episode than I was after last week, plus, plus tardislullabye had an awesome theory over at Time & Chips (http://community.livejournal.com/time_and_chips/).
Most of us have heard theories/rumors/speculation about the end of this series and the possible loss of a companion... In last night's episode, the insane little Dalek Caan said "I see the death of the Doctor's Most Loyal Companion"... which seems to feed into the idea that one of the Doctor's companions will die at the end of the series. They're hinting pretty heavily that it's Donna... even last night when one of the Shadow Ladies said "I'm sorry for the loss yet to come." But I don't think it's any of them... not Rose, Donna, Martha, Jack, Sarah Jane... none of them.
Through it all... 900 years of traveling... WHO has been the most loyal companion to the Doctor? Who has never left him? Who has been there in the end?
The TARDIS.
I don't know how many people watch the Doctor Who Confidentials... and usually, I don't. But I watched it last week after Turn Left. In the Confidential, Russell T. Davies said that he wanted to burn the TARDIS to the ground when they tapped into it to send Donna back. He wanted this huge, spectacular image of the TARDIS just burning. But, they wouldn't let him... LOL Would cost too much money. BUT... he DID say that there was something even more spectacular to see involving the TARDIS in the weeks to come.
I think the TARDIS is going to 'die' (But, of course, this is Science Fiction - and in Sci Fi and Soap Operas, no one is ever really dead). What if the four specials are filmed on Earth because the TARDIS can't fly? It's not like they haven't done it before. The Third Doctor was sent back to Earth with a broken TARDIS as punishment and must of his time on screen was on Earth... not traveling at all. But, I don't think that with the current fan base, all Earth based stories would carry very long. But... four 'specials'?... that we can do.
So... I think all the 'human' companions live... But, it breaks my heart to think of the TARDIS dying. I've made her such a sentient being and so much an integral part of the lives of the Doctor and Rose in my series, that she's very real to me. She may not be that way on screen... but she's still a sentient being. AND... I believe that if the choice of living or dying for the Doctor was left in the hands of the TARDIS... she would give her life to save him.
Isn't that brilliant?!??! And it sooooooo works. A downed TARDIS for four specials? That would work. Totally.
