Foreshadowing?

Ok so I originally intended this blog to only be about my thoughts as I went through the original Doctor Who episodes. But now that we've come to the end of series 7 and have seen what can probably be assumed to be the end of the story of Amy Pond, Rory Williams, and their daughter River Song (nee Melody Pond) and their travels with the 11th Doctor, I keep having some thoughts I just can't keep to myself.

We currently wait on bated breath for the 50th anniversary episode, the 2013 Christmas episode, and series 8.

Part of filling the time in the next 180 or so days I figured would be best spent re-watching the entirety of the current WHO series, right back to that first episode from 2005, "Rose".

Now we all know that the current show runner Steven Moffat has been involved with the production of the show since it's inception in '05. We've also come to know that current WHO, in general, likes to use little clues, sometimes ones that aren't even noticeable till very much later, throughout it's episodes to do a bit of foreshadowing. Davies and Moffat have both done this trick. One small example -  in "Partners In Crime" - we see a little logo sticker on a taxi and on other cars that says ATMOS. This will eventually be part of the plot in a future episode that same season.

While we all know Rule #1 - The Doctor Lies, and we all know that Moffat LOVES to follow Rule #1, we all agree he can be believed when he said that he has been planting clues to future story lines and details about the Doctor and his companions for a LONG time. (Though this could be because we WANT to believe him because...reasons, but I'm gonna go with TRUTH on this one...)

Right now I've hit the beginning of series 5 in my re-watch, the beginning of Moffat's tenure as showrunner and not just part of the creative team. And already I have going through my head ideas of clues he may have planted since his first day!

Someone has even said that he planted a clue way back before he was in charge of the show - the title for the first episode he wrote that included River Song, the episode where we meet her, was called "Silence In The Library." SILENCE! If you've seen the show since  then, you know that word and River will be connected again...
(Thanks Anthony!)

So I'm gonna keep a tally of things that could pan out to be clues - or could be just be utter nonsense. PLEASE if you have any others that I miss as I watch each episode, let me know! I'm pretty sure I've missed things since my first watch was a fast-paced binge fest...

(I'm going with serious things and silly bits too here)

0.) Our first episode with a member of the Pond family, River Song, nee Melody Pond, is titled "Silence In The Library." "Silence" will later come to be the name of some baddies that the Doctor and the Ponds fight who have their own agenda for our Doctor.

Eleventh Hour -
1.) Amy handcuffs the Doctor to the radiator when after she knocks him out with the cricket bat. Handcuffs? Like mother like daughter? LOL

2.) We've been hearing the phrase "Silence Will Fall" since 11's first episode! And now, even after battling them, and hearing more prophesy about them, we still don't know if they've "fallen" or quite where they are...

The Beast Below
3.) When talking about what happened to his people, the Time Lords, he says "I'd love to forget, every last bit of it. But I don't. Not ever."  - Ok this one HAS got to do with our now revealed John Hurt as "The Doctor" We all know the Doctor has been running away from things, quite likely the so far unseen Time War and having to time lock his entire race away from reality and has been at times emotional and depressed about what happened and what he had to do. (I personally think this is where we will see Hurt's character come in - and 8.5 or 9th or whichever incarnation or part of himself that he's buried as far deep as he can because the whole thing is more painful than he can handle. Please don't flame me here for this thought or start quoting about the Valeyard. I've heard the theories. This is what I like to think best fits. 'K?) This leads into the next point...

4.) When thinking he will have to essentially kill the star whale with a lobotomy to be able to allow Starship UK and all the people living on it to continue, he makes the comment about how he should "find a different name for myself" because hurting the poor creature is not something that a Doctor should do, even if it's the right thing. Hello John "Not-in-the-name-of-the-Doctor" Hurt? Good grief. Was the Moff going there from the beginning? Holy fish sticks.
