I've got to get this off my chest...

lostcarparkOkay, I can't resist sharing my thoughts...
1. David Tennant will still be the Doctor at the end of the episode. My reasons for thinking this are:
1a. Every time the Doctor has regenerated there has been a new special effect. I think RTD has too much respect for DW tradition to reuse the old effect unless it's a false regeneration.
1b. Steven Moffet is taking over, and I don't think RTD would impose a new Doctor on him. If it was a real regeneration, Moffet would at least be co-writing the episode.
1c. David Tennant loves the role too much to go without a fight.
2. The severed hand will play an important role. I don't believe we'd have had a close-up of it early in the episode without good reason.
3. Donna will die, but save the universe in doing so. There have been loads of pointers to this, such as:
3a. In Fires of Pompei, Lucius tells Donna there's something on her back. Was this referring to the beetle in Turn Left, or perhaps the weight of saving the world on her back?
3b. In Planet of the Ood, the Ood sympathise with Donna.
3c. In Silence in the Library, River Song knows something and won't tell Donna.
3d. Bit of an obvious one... in Turn Left, Rose tells Donna she's going to die. She could have meant just in that reality, but probably not.
3e. Dalek Caan predicted "everlasting death for the most faithful companion" - could that be Donna or Rose? I predict Donna.
4. Rose will survive for no reason other than I can't think of a good reason to kill both of them. However, whatever Donna does to save the universe leaves her trapped on the other side of the rift once again.
5. Martha will survive and go to Cardiff to lead Torchwood.
6. Captain Jack will survive, but get sent back into the distant past so he can become the Face of Bo.
7. Sarah Jane will not be exterminated and will return to her own show.
8. Dalek Caan described the Doctor as "The threefold man". That's got to be significant.
9. They will be tempted to use the Osterhagen Key, but eventually the situation becomes so dire that they have nothing to lose. Of course it makes the situation even worse, or at least it appears to.
10. Some people have suggested Christopher Ecclestone might make a return. I predict that he won't.
Argh! How many days till Saturday?
