@Wisht – seconding @geoffers, I took that to be a step-mum (or potential step-mum).  Rather ties in with the idea raised on here last week of Clara as the fairytale princess, waiting for the hero to ride in and save her*.  From a tower (block).  And a wicked stepmother!

*Apologies to whoever pointed that out, I can’t find the relevant post at…[Read more]

Hope everyone’s enjoying Christmas Eve unless you’re a few hours east of here and it’s already Christmas!

A bit like @Arkleseizure I’ve been reading like mad of late but not posting. I also was a bit taken with the tick box under the login section – “Remember me”. Very Clara-esque, although it’s not unique to this site 😉

Anywho (sorry, can’t…[Read more]

Ahhh … TimeFlight. I actually looked at the novelisation of it when I was doing the blog on Target. My mind seemed to self edit what I was reading so it went:

“Tegan, Nyssa …. I just can’t go back on my own Timeline”, protested the Doctor, as he did his happy dance.

I always thought that the SM way of having the fact that the…[Read more]

@Arkleseizure (and welcome back to the cute little green monster 🙂

my autocorrect excelled itself and turned “female characters” into “farmable characters”

Freud could have a ball with your autocorrect! (I switched mine off cos of that sort of thing; gets you into all sorts of bother)

@arkleseizure – Moffat’s alleged sexism seems to have taken on a life of its own. It’s become a bit like a Freudian diagnosis – no way, ever, of convincing these analysts that they might be wrong.

I didn’t like the article that much; partly because any argument which lists an entire series of people dying and then says ‘but they don’t count’ is…[Read more]

Many thanks for the endorsements. Just to pick up on a couple of points @JimTheFish raised though, and provide an explanation of something.

this site could sometimes be seen as a bit cliquey and unwelcoming to new members

Kind of intimidated is what I’m guessing.

I think we agree here. I think “we” who entered the site in its first days are o…[Read more]

It is in the text that it was remarkable to give River one, so don’t take my word for it, take Moff’s. He “took it on the chin” when it was pointed out that the big “use the red settings” etc scene leading to

DOCTOR
So some time in the future, I just give you my screwdriver.
RIVER
Yeah.

@TardisBlue *waves back* My pleasure – simply one quick search away. I hope a lot use the opportunity! Haha, I just remembered Marta’s journey around earth to tell everyone to think of the word ‘Doctor’ when the countdown ends. Will be something like that for me personally.

I am doing something similar @TardisBlue. I invited the only friend who…[Read more]

As this might be the last time some of you look in before tomorrow, I hope that @Shazzbot @ScaryB @Bluesqueakpip @Juniperfish @Craig @JimTheFish @pedant @Whisht @DanMartinUK @Arkleseizure @Pufferfish (not forgetting @Airedales) have a great night on Friday – I can also imagine that the steam will be escaping the doors of the Dean Swift as various…[Read more]

Hope you all have a great time meeting up and I am genuinely sorry to miss it. Looking forward to the post meeting stories and also how your impressions of each other in RL compared to the online perception. Also…[Read more]

@arkleseizure – it was, wasn’t it? Very elegiac. And such a collection of actors, all giving it their best shot.

Direction was superb as well. A fitting end to a fine era.

@Arkleseizure, @Bluesqueakpip

The soufflé isn’t the soufflé. The soufflé is the recipe.

I wonder if it means ‘Clara isn’t the Clara. ‘Clara’ is a recipe.’

That is, Clara-from-Blackpool isn’t the original template. And the original template was created, like a recipe.

I like your thinking on this, it’s a line that bothered me from the first ti…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip @Arkleseizure I like your musings on Clara, souffles and recipes

@ScaryB @Shazzbot @Arkleseizure

Have closed the site. Am in two minds about it, would like to be open to all, I really would, but just can’t be bothered with the grief right now.

It does have the added benefit that if I delete someone they can’t just sign up again! Wooo!

@Craig @arkleseizure

I’m in complete agreement with the one formerly known as the Cute Little Green Cartoon Creature with a Straw Hat (what a difference an avatar makes LOL). Close to new members NOW!
