As of the end of 8×15, my current theory is that the Agent Texas we all know and love is Alpha’s inherited memories of the Director’s ex-girlfriend, given a mind of their own by the same process that created the other AIs. It explains why she can do the ghost thing, how she and Church can know each other from their past, why she was locked in a room labelled “Director’s Secret Project”, why the Director’s diary just referred to her as a “byproduct” *.

Tonight I intend to finish S8, and hopefully find out then how laughably wrong I am. Or, possibly, how utterly right I am. Stranger things have happened. (After watching “Day of the Moon”, my mom correctly theorised that the regenerating girl was both Amy’s daughter and child!River.)

*I watched that last bit after coming up with this theory, but it fits in pretty well. An AI convinced she’s human probably wouldn’t be able to do the kind of stuff that they were…producing the AIs for.

what the fuck what the FUCK oh my god

They told me “The Empty Hearse” was basically a bunch of Sherlock fanfiction smushed together. I didn’t quite believe them.

I believe them now.

I’m sure the look of utter shock on my face at the 2:30 mark would have been very amusing, had anyone seen it. I honestly wondered if I was dreaming.

Three minutes, forty-five seconds. Three and three-quarter minutes in. That’s how far I’ve gotten, and already my mind is utterly blown.

It’s been an hour since I decided to watch it. I’ve managed less than four minutes.

How am I ever going to cope with an hour and a half of this episode?

So this is what shipping feels like. I’d wondered.

So let me get this straight.

You want to create a paradox.

You’ve got a Rory.

You’ve got another, time-displaced Rory.

You’ve got a rule that touching your time-displaced self is grounds for automatic paradox.

What is the obvious answer here?

I get the feeling it wasn’t planned this way.

I don’t think they’d assume the viewer is going to be a: up on Whovian news and b: faceblind.

But I am, and so for me it follows a pretty standard plot twist progression.

First, Hmm, she looks a bit like Jenna-Louise Coleman.

Shortly after, Have I heard Jenna-Louise’s voice? Did it sound like this? I think it might have.

Shortly after that, She talks so fast. Didn’t they say that was one of the things they really noticed about her? How she talked so fast he could hardly keep up with her?

At the end of the episode, watching the credits:

Oswin

Jenna-Louise Coleman

Ha! Now what does this mean for the future plot?
