@Barnable   Yeah, and I worked that episode into my personal theory. Arbutus and I turned out to have similar thoughts that surrounding events can factor into what kind of personality The Doctor will next regen into. After all, he has always turned out to be just the right kind of Doctor to face all he had to. And to that end, I theorized that…[Read more]

The reason I searched for a forum is because I just finished blazing through The Sarah Jane Adventures and then Torchwood, and now found I have not much left Who to go through aside from watching BG. I didn’t know beforehand that Capaldi was also in Torchwood so I was surprised to see him there.

Anyway, I already gave my thoughts on why 12 has…[Read more]

So aside from that one point that Bad Wolf is a distinct Jiminy Cricket-type of conscience, I didn’t think it had as much mind meltdown material. 🙂

It was even rather emphasized with Tennant’s regen. Though I’m still new to the classics so I don’t really have much background to compare to.

You guys are going to give me a mind meltdown. 🙂

I for one am fine with thinking there was only the one timeline. I see no need for a separate timeline as an original cause for Bad Wolf to manifest itself as the Moment’s conscience. After all, from the very start Bad Wolf created itself. She has a circular existence. So I don’t think it’s a…[Read more]

Hi! I’m new here. Ended up searching for a forum to while away the long wait for the show to come back. Loving the theorizing.

@Arbutus     Often, it is even possible to guess at events that might have encouraged a change in personality in a new incarnation.

I actually had somewhat similar thoughts and I’m glad someone else thought so too. My th…[Read more]
