10th Doctor's Final Transmission

StCoop

From this year's Doctor Who Storybook. It ends with 10's first words, so does it begin with his final ones...

^Yeah, that was my guess as well. Otherwise, I really don't what to make of this. *shrug*
 
Look closely, it goes backwards, from 'Transmission Begins' to 'Transmission Ends'

"New teeth" and "Did you miss me?" from Xmas Invasion.

I'm not sure of the middle ones (I'm very tired right now) but I've heard most of them (except for the Edgar Allen one, can't place it).

Towards the top, from the trailer, "get away from the water"

And finally, presumably, at the top, the final words...

It's from "I Am the Walrus". That paragraph seems to be a bit Stream Of Consciousness.
 
The "not my wonderful sar...." I'm guessing is going to be a quote from the Sarah Jane adventures story that the Doctor will feature in. Which if all those quotes are in order, then that would mean it takes place before Waters of Mars.
 
"CURSE, NOT A BLE" brings to mind the line from The Five Doctors: "Rassilon knew immortality was a curse, not a blessing." Has this ever been used in the new series?

The positioning of that line puts it between Journey's End and The Next Doctor, after the Doctor has come to his decision not to take any more companions... I'd say he's referring to the Curse of the Time Lords and how it means he's always forced to say goodbye to those he loves.
 
I think he would be saying it to everyone, not just Donna. Then he does something that could effectively end his life, destroying the Tardis in the process. But somehow he manages to regenerate, the same with the Tardis, and then we've the setting for the first episode of series 5.
 
I dont watch Sarah Jane Adventures much but that 4th paragraph seems to be saying the (pan?)theon of discord may be coming for her. Is there anything in the whoverse along the lines of the pantheon of discord?

I don't have access to all my equipment at the moment but I wondered if someone would be able to "complete" the quotes we know and see if there's is a pattern, some for of encryption distorting some of the text. For example a simple ceaser shift of 15 places changes NDND SPK to YOYO DAV

Also the possible gate mentioned, gates of Elysium? a timewar reference?

Not yet, but the Pantheon of Discord have been confirmed as appearing in SJA in the same episodes as the Doctor.

The next one is an obvious reference to The Waters of Mars, which transmits after the SJA ep referred to.

So, someone is alive that the Doctor is surprised to see alive. The Master? Davros? Time Lords?

The ComicCon trailer I believe answers that question (though he could be referring to someone else).

This is definitely an intriguing bit of writing. I was going to skip this year's storybook, but if they're dropping hints like this, I'm going to order one right away.

Regarding "Sa..."
