rabid1stOkay, you can read this. But, I might have figured out what is going on with S7. So, consider yourself warned! If you read this it might spoil you. Then, again, I've been wrong many times before...
So, I heard about the Zygons. And you Old School people might remember a couple of things about them...beyond the suckers and the flat head, I mean. First, they are shape-shifters, which could neatly answer the question of how we have the Tenth Doctor and Rose again. Zygons in disguise. But, everyone is going to think of that. I am still on a virtual reality kick with them. Because, even better than shape-shifting is point number 2 about Zygons...they use organic tech in their ships. And, oh, where else did we see organic tech? In the Moff story, "The Girl in the Fireplace" that's where. And where again? In the first episode of this season, when Clara was basically a machine with a human sensibility. And, who likes to reuse his own ideas? Moff!
But, here's the thing, if the Zygons had captured the Doctor and were using him to run their ship's computer. He would certainly be a Great Intelligence. And he and Clara could be parts of the same complex, acting out things from the Doctor's memory. Because she is his real companion, or she is several people who died. In which case, it could mean that Ten/Rose are real, from the actual past...and are trying to unhook the Doctor from the contraption. Because the third thing about the Zygons is that they already appeared in Season 7, but they seemed to cause no real problems for the Doctor. We didn't even see them in The Power of Three, but they were there. So, it is possible they also captured the Doctor at some point and successfully wired him up to their tech. Of course, we will have some rollicking references to old times...as the Doctor does...REMEMBER. He will have to answer the question "Doctor Who?" for the anniversary, probably via flashbacks and virtual recreations like Ten/Rose. And that means, the appearance coming up, while lovely, will be essentially meaningless for the Ten/Rose fans.
