Doctor 'WHO' rant: On the upcoming 'Name of the Doctor' episode.

Dearest Whovians,

I know it can be really stressful at the moment, to think that in a few short weeks the Doctors greatest secret will be revealed. You may, right now, be dreading the moment when the mystery disappears, the waves move in slow motion and we are left with an anticlimax to end all anticlimaxes! Because what could be worse, more threatening to this incredible story we hold so close to our hearts, then the loss of this tension that has always been there? I ask you. Well, probably not much.

Though, to be honest, I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Hear me out! Of course no one outside of the magical BBC production bubble can know for SURE how this will all work out, but nevertheless, based on Moffats' track record, I personally think it quite unlikely we will be left at the end of the season with something like 'Joe'.

No, no. It doesn't compute. Something is missing there.
Think about it, when have we ever been given a simple answer to a complex question in the Doctor Whoniverse?
This is one of the things I love about Doctor Who, there is ALWAYS that tension.
Moffat, I have noticed, likes to answer his questions with more questions.
Because questions keep us going.
They keep us asking, and wanting more.
They LEAD somewhere!
It's a mark of a great storyteller, which I believe Moffat has shown himself to be.

At the very least, I have faith in him (and the rest of their wonderfully creative team of course) to keep me guessing.

Also, assuming that we WERE to find out the Doctors true name, it will be done for a reason. I doubt the DW team are going out of their ways to slash our hopes and dreams, rather, they are trying to take us deeper into the world of a certain time lord we all love so dearly.

I've decided to look on with trust.
We've been being wound up until now. So how will the tale be left?
I guess we have to wait and find out. :)

Love and friendship,

Ingrid.
