Does that include sneaking around Egyptian tombs, wearing a gas mask and asking “Are you my mummy?”

So that’s why I am addicted to Doctor Who!  I always wondered.

@BadWulf   😆

Well, with all the names of other authorities being bandied about, why not Shakespeare as well?  (and for that matter it is perfectly possible that he did know, at least in a general sense, that his hunchbacked arch villain had been buried in Grey Friar’s church in Leicester, since it was a matter of public record).

The ref…[Read more]

@BadWulf – Thanks for that! Looks like I can put all my half-formed body-swapping theories back on the shelf, so to speak.

It turns out I have the 2013 Proms show on BluRay, in the 50th anniversary collection, I just haven’t watched it yet. I tend to watch them with my parents on Christmas day (when Australia’s ABC usually puts them on in the…[Read more]

@BadWulf  In skimming through yesterday’s contributions just now (to refresh my memory) I noticed that my post #34529 in response to you was incorrectly addressed; my apologies.   I didn’t notice at the time because there is someone registered with the user name badwolf – which must have caused confusion if they were alerted.

The response was, of…[Read more]

@BadWulf – Oh no! There goes my afternoon! 🙂

@BadWulf

Fantastic! I plan on diving in. Who knows when I will re-surface.

@BadWulf That sheet is amazing! Gonna help me a lot on selecting what stories I will watch in my BG marathon! I’m thiniing of watching everything 3&up or you think I should stick to 4&up? I’m finishing the second doctor stories this week! From the Third Doctor and on II’m gonna skip some stories or it’ll take me a few years to finish it!

@BadWulf I haven’t seen Time Flight, could you explain how exactly The Master is “racist” in that story.

Now that the season plot arc seems to be all about stealing souls to power Cybermen

Hello @BadWulf – but wasnt the point of the dark water that it contained/only showed actual organic material?  The bones, bodies – but not souls.  So I agree with people who think that Danny isnt dead, and that the Nethersphere contains people who arent actually d…[Read more]

@thecrackinthewall

Did you know that Alan Moore has encountered demons?

Given the amount of psychedelic drugs Alan has consumed over the years, I’d suggest he could legitimately claim to have met Demons, God, Flying pigs, Papa Smurf, fairies, and can probably conduct a 4 hour conversation with the vegetables on his plate over Sunday Lunch. It w…[Read more]

@BadWulf

(I have the box set of Buffy, but I’ve only got as far as the middle of season 2 – I presume it is worth continuing with?

Oh God, yes. You don’t know what it is, what’s to come. You haven’t even begun (you will know that reference when you get their 😉 )

PS  You haven’t even met Faith yet. Faith rocks.

@beancounter, in fact, it seems you don’t. The line is: people are apes. Men are monkeys, spoken by a woman who’s own wife refers to as a lizard. People being apes, as @Badwulf points out, is accurate. Men being monkeys is affectionate.

@devilishrobby “For this reason in my personal opinion it can be forgiven for straying from factual science. ”

I’ll refer you to @BadWulf on this – basically saved me a lot of typing, so thanks.

@phaseshift “And it seems the lost (and perhaps dead), are starting to return”

Brilliant – it hadn’t occurred to me that Annabel might have returned…[Read more]

@Spider and @BadWulf – agreed. On a rewatch it was very definite that the glowy thingys had brought her back – possibly from where she’d run away to, but very possibly back from the dead.

Incidentally, was that Michael Sheen (the voice of House) doing an uncredited voice over as the voice of the trees? Which would be another little shout out to…[Read more]

@BadWulf

One thing I just noticed on the rewatch

Clara: Danny Pink will never leave those kids as long as he is breathing.

Yet another reference to people dying…

@BadWulf

Here, the magic trees made oxygen, which apparently protected the Earth from solar radiation.

In fairness to the writer, the magic trees had the ability to produce or withhold oxygen. The Doctor, in fact, said they were withholding oxygen, that was what made them fireproof – you can’t have fire without oxygen. I think Boyce had some…[Read more]

@BadWulf True, but that was resolved pretty quickly.

@badwulf Danny has grown on me though I am beginning to suspect he may have been SM’s way of trawling a big red herring to distract us from the true change in Clara through the series, by creating in essence that some fans have to what I call the smushy stuff or as some have called it the soap opera element

As for the “bad” science in this…[Read more]

Hey all, just back from LA and just about to go to bed, having caught up on Flatline (which I thought was great). @BadWulf If you email me the spreadsheet I can post it for you. Will do any other tidying up tomorrow night.

One of the movies I watched on the plane was The Lego Movie, cos I was bored. Turned out it was great. If you haven’t seen it…[Read more]

@BadWulf Just upload the spreadsheet to the Excel Web App or Google Docs and then put a link here.

@samsungthornby Nobody knows! The Doctor himself admitted as much in the Kill the Moon episode. This allows us to theorise that it was actually the Doctor that became the Face of Boe 😉

@Devilishrobby They said all 13 because they didn’t know…[Read more]
