What vote Saxon business? Frankly these arc teasers go way over my head.

It’s been a lot more subtle than the Torchwood references last year, so far. One could be forgiven for not noticing them.

Oddly, Saxon appears to be some kind of politician running for office, yet manages to be kept more quiet than the name of a super-secret organisation.

I’d almost prefer not to notice them, except BBC keeps trying to bludgeon it over my head. I’d not go to their sites, but Tom is like a weapon for the RTD arc machine.

Hey! If I notice something cool, I’ll want to talk about it. If you’re in the way then that’s your problem. I don’t recall talking about the Torchwood references last year, probably because they were so obvious as to be reasonably uninteresting. I find it more interesting when, like Bad Wolf and Saxon, you don’t actually know what the word (or what it represents) necessarily means.

OMG! ‘VOTE SAXON’ is an anagram of ‘SNOT OVA EX’. If you say “the Doctor snot ova ex” aloud it sounds like the Doctor’s not over his ex. The Doctor wants his ex-companion back! Rose is coming back! Hurray!

There are some anagram theories about Mister Saxon but they’ve been denied by those in the know. I shan’t go into them here.

Are you saying Andy’s entirely plausible one wasn’t discussed?

If they haven’t denied it, then it’s true by omission. I’m going to stalk Billie to see when she films her fight with Martha for the Doctor’s love..

Given the Face of Boe’s message, I think Mr Saxon will be a Time Lord, and probably evil. He’ll be in the mid-season double parter, and the end of season will feature him, the Daleks and the Cybermen.
