Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey [Doctor Who fandom news]

Our brand-new Doctor Who Fandom News column is written by bibliophileNish.

Hello Folks! It's time for some Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey stuff. With season 9 coming up in September and confirmation of Season 10 by the BBC, Whovians all over the world are very delighted. The wait is really exhausting but we are the Doctor Who Fandom. We always find one thing or other to do!

If you are as obsessed with Doctor who as I am, you must have already seen the Season 9 trailer like a thousand times. As always, it has confused us Whovians and we are busy coming up with different theories that might explain the questions that were raised by the trailer. Biggest of them being Maisie Williams. As much as everyone is excited to see Arya Stark from Game of thrones on Doctor who, we are desperate to figure out who she might be playing on the show!

There are many theories about Maisie. Some are saying that she is a regeneration of River Song as she refers to the Doctor as "old man". It is possible with the messed up timelines of The Doctor and River Song. Some say it's someone from the Doctor's family like Jenny or maybe even Susan. It will be fun to see any one of them back. Or maybe Maisie will just play a random character who is there for just one episode on the show. Maybe our hopes will be crushed just like it did during the 50th anniversary episode when Rose Tyler didn't really come back. Who knows?

And what does Maisie Williams have to say about it?

Masie herself was very pleased to be on the set of doctor who but she did not say anything about Game of Thrones to anyone on the set or rather she wasn't allowed to. Peter Capaldi has said that he didn't want any "Spoilers "so they had to make sure that Maisie didn't talk about it. Well someone tell him that we desperately want to know about the fate of one of our favourite characters on Game of thrones. So much for Jon Snow dying! (He cannot die. He just can't. Period.)

Anyway, returning to Doctor Who, the trailer also revealed that our nasty Master or Missy (whatever you prefer) will be back on the show. There was no sign of Danny Pink. So is he really dead? We never know. But what we do know is that the Daleks are back and so are Zygones. From the way trailer went, it's going to be packed with action and mysterious plot (with Moffat's plotholes ofcourse). I just wish we would get answer to some of our questions. Like, is River going to come back? She has to! Otherwise how will we know what she meant when she said "Spoilers" in the season 7 finale? And when does the doctor give her his sonic screwdriver? So many questions and so many fanmade theories to answer them! Just wait and see if anyone of them comes true.
