@pedant  The rest of you got lucky

Yah — great line!  I liked Danny, and wanted just a bit more dimension to him, a scene or two of him with other people in his life; orphans have friends, and soldiers have old army buddies, but they never gave him any time as himself, on his own and in his own milieu outside of work, which I think would have h…[Read more]

I laughed so much when The Doctor greets Clara “You look lovely today, have you had a wash?”

Tactful he ain’t!

@missrori

I have a confession to make. Danny kept getting in the way, I found his character irritating.

*goes and sits in the corner and waits to be jumped on from a great height.*

@Puro’Son.

Ah, I see. thank you for explaining.

@1997whovian

Like you, I din’t care for Kill the Moon, but after a third viewing I rather enjoyed it. The fact that the Doctor left three humans to decide their own fate – for once – I found interesting. Clara’s reaction was wrong, he trusted her and the other two to make the right decision, and t…[Read more]

@pedant

We haven’t seen this, so don’t know what you are talking about. Has a speicies died out?

@1997whovian

I enjoy all of the episodes – even Kill the Moon, which I watched again last night. Probably the Forest episode is not top of my list.

@1997whovian (Blimey it worked this time)

I didn’t exactly dislike Forest of the Night, it simply isn’t one of my favourites.  I still watch it

@1997whovian  Thanks for your comment on itFotN — I thought it was clever and funny and didn’t mind the wonky “science” of the thing, which was mostly magic anyway.  Haven’t re-watched it recently, but there’s plenty of time (way too much plenty!) to look at the last two seasons before the promised Xmas special.

@1997whovian   I’m a scendle, it seems; how odd — pretty accurate, actually.  I am scholarly type by nature . . .

@missy  You’re welcome.  I’m also given to snooping around for Doctor-y stuff in the internet, I guess.  Must go see if I might live to an old age in Sparta . . . which might be not such a great thing, what with story about the Spar…[Read more]

@miapatrick  I should also probably just shut up and be happy with my distinction!

Oh, don’t shut up — but yes, be happy!  Congratulations.

(from a later post, re Brexit and somebody’s boyfriend):   he voted out because he wanted to scrap the human rights stuff. That was the only reason. Then she pointed out to him that the convention on hu…[Read more]

@missy    Michael Dibdin — that’s the guy I’m thinking of — has written a line of crime novels set in Italy?  I’m pretty sure I read this Holmes one, but I’ve read a half dozen Holmes things in the past year, so can you talk a little about the story?  Now that copyright is no longer controlling what people write about Holmes, some int…[Read more]

@puroandson @thedentistofdavros @missy @1997whovian @Theconsultingdoctor

I took the quiz too! I got Cerulean, and then I took it again and got Arcal.

I also took the Sparta quiz, because it looked fun. I also got old age, which apparently has all the sane answers!

Slightly off topic, but there’s no thread for it. I checked. Also, SPOILERS.…[Read more]

@1997whovian

My favourite companion is Jamie from the second Doctor era because of the incredible chemistry he had with Troughton, he was also quite a funny character from an interesting background (highlands of Scotland during the battle of Culloden)

If we’re talking about the new series then I think Rory or Donna, not sure?

I’m just going to…[Read more]

@1997whovian

Try Christine and Salem’s Lot. I enjoyed both. There is also the Talisman, writen by Peter Straub and Stephen King .

Pure fanatasy.

Missy

@1997whovian Hello! My favorite Doctor is Matt Smith, but Capaldi is awesome too. Favorite episode… I don’t know, but if I had to pick right now it would either be Dalek or Asylum of the Daleks.

Favorite companion is a Classic Who companion, Ace. Ace is different from other companions because instead of standing there and screaming or running…[Read more]

@1997whovian

Have you got any ideas of which classic episode you will watch first if not I’m sure all of us here can help with plenty of suggestions!

Smith and Capaldi are both excellent (well isn’t every Doctor!) Capaldi has bee my favourite of the new series so far. I thought I would miss Smith to much so I wouldn’t be able to like Capaldi at…[Read more]

@1997whovian

Hello, nice to see another new face, my favourite Doctor (as you can probably tell by the profile pic) is the second doctor Sir Patrick of Troughton (he’s an absolute genius) and my favourite episode is The Power of the Daleks though a number of episodes come close!

What are your favourites?

Have you seen any of Troughton’s…[Read more]

@1997whovian: @winston

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Missy

@1997whovian

Welcome. Loved Husbands of River Song, loved Heaven Sent even more.

Missy

@1997whovian   I was quite a bit older than that when I started watching in 2005 but I too have been hooked since then. One of the things I love about Who is that so many people of different ages and walks of life can all sit down and enjoy Doctor Who.

@1997whovian  Hi! Welcome to the site. I hope you have as much fun exploring all there is here and that it helps to fill that void until Doctor Who finally returns.
