I return, rested! :) Ugh, seriously, though, I’m sorry I took so ridiculously long to get back to you. I’ve had that kind of week (er, let’s call it a week) when leaving any comment besides ‘Hee!’ has just not been happening.
I’ve finally gathered a few of my thoughts – haven’t read any of the other comments, though, so I may just be repeating what everyone else said two weeks ago. I may also ramble a little for good measure, and/or repeat what you’ve already said, just so you know. ;)
Oh good! So people have at least *thought* of it! And by 'people' I guess I mean a few spare River/Doctor shippers, but anyway! *g* My shippiness may have made me biased, but… there was the Stormcage kiss, and then a regenerating child, who (if not a survivor of the Time War/an experiment/something else) must be related to The Last of the Time Lords, somehow. (And I may be imagining things, but the kid did sound a bit like the Doctor.) It’s not that much of a stretch…
I feel like the only nods I've heard in that direction was after the very first episode when everybody was going "is Amy really pregnant?" and arguing about her nausea. And people would bring up that River had it too, which was an argument that it was caused by the Silence, usually followed immediately by 'unless River is pregnant too, but they'd better not do that!' Yeah, me too. That and that it might be the same baby moving between uteruses.
The wank would be truly epic. And slightly frightening.
Re: the post.
1) Woah, that quote is all kinds of interesting. I’m sure Moffat could make it work, should he want to, fifty year history or not.
5)Amy with a baby in a kid's room and fandom is taking that as more reliable proof of parentage than AN ABILITY TO REGENERATE? Lol, yes. Amy can be holding someone else’s child. Idk, I thought she looked younger in the photo, but that may just be me. Or her hair was different or something, idk. Okay, it’s a bit odd that the only adult (or was it the only adult? I can’t remember the rest of the photos) the child had a photo of was Amy, but it can be explained, easily.
6) The show even went out of its way with the whole voice recorder 'oh no, does Amy actually love the Doctor not Rory why did she tell the Doctor about her pregnancy before Rory?' thing to discount the possibility that Amy's child is the Doctor's. Yeah, this seems like such a sly red herring. It’s just too… not-subtle. (Talking about subtle, though, I can see how the time head conversation makes Amy/Eleven a subtextual possibility, but then something very weird would have to be going on, because… well, Rory. /digress.)
7) Which does have that same kind of 'ack, personal future, do not want!' It’s plausible, though he did seem keen on running to the Time Lords – but, yeah, that was not his personal future. Or the child has just learned to block him out somehow (she knew about regeneration, so maybe she’s been taught about stuff like that too. And here I’m just assuming that knowing how to regenerate is not a thing that’s just there, like how to breathe.)
8) Why not pull the same trick with a kid? Basically, I <3 this. It could work. It could work so well!
