Not "The House of Nothing"

Did you learn nothing from "The Doctor's Daughter"?
And, hey, she is the female he's had the longest realtionship with by far.
And I'd want popcorn for Lawrence Miles' inevitable blow-up.
No, I'm thinking of the Gaiman episode because in the same thread someone said "No, we're safe, Gaiman would never do something like that" and then someone probably provided an example of Gaiman doing exactly that (in the comic book realm, I think, because I didn't recognize the title).
This was the tidbit I was thinking of although this is the first time I've seen anything about the last piece of info (i.e. the serial mentioned in the spoiler code).
I wonder if this will touch on the Doctor's actual wife (I'm surprised that none of you have mentioned her but keep alluding to River instead)? I guess the title will turn out to be another misdirection like "The Doctor's Daughter".
What reference are there to an actual wife (Beyond joke references to him marrying the Virgin Queen)? I'm drawing a blank.
The fact that he's continuously brought up that he's lost his entire family and the fact that Susan is his granddaughter.
That would indicate that he has at least one child and a grandchild, it tells us nothing about any possible marriage - it could be a wife or it could be a lover.
True enough. I'm assuming. Is that the point you're trying to make? Course there's no actual evidence that the Doctor had a wife.
I don't think there's been any direct onscreen reference to a wife...I think the novels have touched on this more, particularly the House of Lungbarrow (I think that's how it's spelled) deals with the Doctor's past on Gallifrey and his family.
Correct. No direct reference to a wife (just "family" in such cases as Tomb of the Cybermen and "The Empty Child") nor do we know if The Doctor is the maternal or paternal grandfather of Susan.
As much as I hope the reference is to Susan's grandmother, I won't be surprised if it's misdirection like "The Doctor's Daughter" (who I still wish was Susan's mother).

That would
Certainly change the War Games, if the War Chief was the Doctor's wife at some point! It's been established in the new series-and to a degree the classic series-that time lords know each other on sight, or sense the presence of another TL. The only exception was the Jacobi Master, since he was human and therefore his 'time lordyness' was hidden. But by the time he locked gazes with Tennant's Doctor they pretty much knew who both were-and Tennant certainly identified Saxon as the Master once he saw him.
The story of Patience, quickly summarized, based on Lungbarrow, Cold Fusion, and The Infinity Doctors.
Patience was one of Gallifrey's true immortals, from the time of Omega and Rassilon. She was the wife of the mysterious Other, and she was Omega's lover, and she went into hiding and lived through until the Doctor was born whereupon she became his nurse, and as the Doctor grew to adulthood she became his friends, his lover, then his wife, and together they had thirteen children. She disappeared in an ancient TARDIS, and she was believed dead, and then she was forgotten, even by the Doctor. Then she was found, on a frozen planet, by the fifth Doctor, and parts of his past that he had forgotten came back to him, and then she was shot in the head and lost forever. But then another Doctor found her in Omega's anti-matter realm, and the Doctor was given a choice -- the universe or an eternity with her -- and he thought strongly of an eternity with her, but she convinced him to give her up and defeat Omega.
I'm guessing that Idris is an anagram for something as well. There is potential to be excited about a lot of things this series (and seven as well). Can't wait until next month.
