Howling:Ood Σ to die?

I've been thinking, a regular will be litterally killed permanantly in 'The Impossible Astronaut', but we've seen that The Doctor, Amelia Pond, River Song and Rory Williams will be featured in the following episodes...

If we put aside River Song, we know the title 'The Impossible Astronaut' is similar to 'The Impossible Planet'. As we know, the Ood were in this episode and have been seen in the trailer for Season XXXIII. Plus, the promotional image for The Impossible Astronaut shows the familiar heiroglyphs that we also saw in The Impossible Planet.

Therefore, I conclude that the Ood must be in The Impossible Astronaut.

But, what of the possibility that Ood Σ is killed off? He is almost a regular, having been in four total episodes and his becoming a very significant character in the Doctor Who canon.

It's a known fact that Steven Moffat often suprises us and to do this would be just like his style, if we put aside the 'Time will be rewritten' theory of River Song's death.

Will Ood Σ die, what do you think?

 * Ood Σ is not a series regular, and Steven Moffat said that either the Doctor, River, Amy, or Rory will die. -- Bold  Clone  00:43, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Since every other character has their own DMW cover with 'Marked for death?' written on it, that makes them the obvious person to be killed off, therefore they won't be.

That's a ridiculous deduction. It's a fact that one of them (the cover stars) will die. You are trying to hard to develop a theory that satisfies you when its clear that Σ is not destined for death.Skittles the hog-- Talk 10:05, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

I suppose it is a little bit absurd, he might return, though. Maybe...

Based on the trailer, the Ood will definetly return, but that is the only part of your theory that can be backed up. The similarities between the titles of The Impossible Planet and The Impossible Astronaut don't mean anything. There are dozens of episodes called Something of Death or Planet of Someghing but those episodes don't have anything in common. Look at The Seeds of Doom and The Seeds of Death. Those two titles are just as similar as The Impossible Planet and The Impossible Astronaut but they have nothing to do with eachother. Four episodes is not enough to be considered a regular. By that logic, Sabalom Glitz is a regular character on the show, as is Trinity Wells. Ood Sigma wasn't even really in 4 episodes. He was in Planet of the Ood, but he really only made cameo appearances in The Waters of Mars and End of Time. I don't know where you're getting 4 from, because I only remember seeing him in 3 episodes. Moffat also specifically stated that either the Doctor, River, Amy, or Rory would be killed off. If you believe that it can be any series regular, than it can be any of the Doctor's companions from the past 50 years. It is possible that sigma will come back in whatever episode that the Ood are in, and it is possible that he will die, but if he does, than that is not what Moffat has been talking about when he says that one of the regulars will die.Icecreamdif 21:57, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I just think that with the Ood returning and 'The Impossible...' in the title, that's the general tradition with the Ood, things being impossible, like Krop Tor and The Master being alive. But hey, it's only a theory and we'll just have to see.Gallifrey102

Maybe Sigma is really Omega! Skittles the hog-- Talk 22:23, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Seriously? I mean, don't get me wrong, I have come up with some crazy theories in my time, but I've always been able to support them. Got any evidence on that?..

Wait a minute! That was sarcsm, wasn't it?

Gallifrey102 22:25, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, it probably was. However, your theory still has a fatal flaw: Moffat specifically said that the Doctor, River, Amy, or Rory will die. Boom--headshot. Sigma might possibly sorta kinda maybe who-knows what if come back someday somehow someway, but he will not be the character dying. For all we know, he may be the Ood we see in the trailer. -- Bold  Clone  23:05, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
