1. Who in the astronaut suit killed the Doctor?
Was it River? Is that secretly why she's in prison, even though a future Doctor told her to do it? My first reaction was that a future version of the doctor killed himself but that seems improbable. If the little girl is somehow connected to him, maybe she had to kill him so that she could survive and the doctor sacrificed himself?
2. Why did Amy tell the doctor she was pregnant when she did?
She said it was an emergency and she "needed" to tell him, but the silence were surrounding them, shouldn't she have told him that first? This is what makes me think the silence planted the idea of a baby in her mind, or maybe actually physically planted the baby in her, during those final days she was with them. When she was the silence she was registering this idea and had to tell the doctor before she forgot.
3. Why does Amy keep switching between pregnant and not?
My friend Karen (no relation to Gillan) had a beautiful theory that the TARDIS really did give Amy a time-head baby. She thinks all the space travel messed up with her pregnancy. The baby can regenerate in her uterus, which is why Amy keeps switching from pregnant and not.
4. What do the silence need with the astronaut girl?
Is the baby conceived in Amy's future, then born in the 1960s on purpose?
5. Why did the girl need a space suit to keep her alive anyways?
Couldn't they have used other technology, but why -specifically- a space suit? Also, the space race was originally to just get into outer space itself and orbit the earth, the actual push for landing on the moon came later. The doctor mentions "Why does the human race just now want to go to the moon?" (or something to that effect). Humans didn't necessarily have to go to the moon in order for the space suit to be invented.
6. Did the space suit turn the girl into a super strong quasi-timelord -as a plot by the silence- or was she naturally born with those skillz and they want to harness them?
Is that why she can regenerate? I don't think she's the doctor's daughter, but obviously the doctor and his effects are somehow involved.
7. Why was the Doctor imprisoned in Area 51 at all?
Did he just need a perfect prison for the silence? It appears that he's tricking the guards and Canton's in on it, but why? Does nobody believe them that the silence exist? How many people were actually in on what Canton and the Doctor were fighting? Did Canton even tell Nixon why the doctor's secret mission was vital, or did he just leave it at "vital to national security" and hope the president would vouch for him?
8. Why did Nixon ask Grant (Apollo 11 guard) about his baby?
Are the silence creating a baby army of pseudo-timelords, but in order for it to work everyone must be very excited about babies? Did the silence plant this baby idea into multiple people's brains? Or was this just a comment to help us remember the whole Amy-baby sub-plot?
9. Why did River and Rory come with Nixon to bail the doctor out of Apollo 11?
It might have just been a random thing to have the suave-looking Arthur Darvill make an appearance, but it seemed odd to me.
10. Why does Amy keep mentioning Rory's "stupid face"?
Is that an idea the silence planted in her mind to make her have a half-time Lord baby with the doctor? (again, improbable)
11. Who is the woman at the door? and what does "No, I think she's just dreaming." mean? Is the "she" referring to Amy or the mysterious little girl?
I have no theories on this one. I don't think it was meant to make sense until the series finale, but I'm guessing she will keep popping up until then, similar to the "bad wolf" theme in S1.
Overall, I am obsessed with this episode. I know it gave more questions then answers, but all the best Doctor Who story lines do at first. The mystery is the best part for me, so I loved it! I cannot wait for series 6. Long live the doctor!
