I believe that they teleported to a ship in orbit, where the Tardis was also stowed.

Ah, yes you’re right, I’d forgotten (memory worms!)

But… whose is the ship? (see above re Missy’s world theory)

Why did the Doctor think they were suicide weapons, rather than thinking “teleport”?

@Bluesqueakpip – I’m starting to think your original…[Read more]

i know I’ll regret this but……..

@den aldrin – I actually prefer your theory to @badwulf‘s for most of the reasons you posit. It’s elegant.

But, there are very good reasons to run simulations of old […]

@Badwulf

Regarding the “unreality” of a simulated doctor, based on imperfect knowledge of The Timelord, I suppose I was influenced by the Star Trek: Voyager EMH doctor – he is a simulation, but has become […]

@Badwulf

I always imagined that the Cushing Doctor was a construct of the Daleks early in their history, using information that they had actually gleaned from their two early interactions with the Hartnell […]

@DenValdron

Thanks for responding to my ramblings earlier on. A bit of the lawyer about your response, in terms of the flow of logic. This is a good thing.

I also like @BadWulf‘s suggestion and look forward […]

@Shazzbot

Give me time.  It is a lot of work to pull these things back together.

@Badwulf

Very interesting scenario.  Let me think on it.

Looking at @BadWulf ‘s list of HurtDoc possibilities above, I’m still inclined to (6) but thinking about what something elses could (8) be – I haven’t seen suggested yet, could he be all the doctors?  They’ve all […]

@BadWulf Much as the gap between 2 and 3 offers a tempting space, I think Moffat is much more likely to draw it from the reboot – his characters, mythology and current audience.  Then again he’s been pulling a lot […]

@ScaryB 😀 Courtesy of @Whisht.

@BadWulf Sorry, what’s series 6C about? I’m still going for the first theory but open to other past tense ones!

@chickenelly Yes, Ten got shot by a Dalek in Journey’s End and […]

@Badwulf

Anyway, the way that I see it is that there is room in the Doctor’s timeline in four places for the Hurt Doctor:
1) Before Hartnell

2) Between Troughton and Pertwee

3) Between McGann and […]

@BadWulf Ooh that kind of goes with my theory of lots of older Clara’s being left throughout history, i.e. Clara is her own mother! The older version adopts the younger version.

@bluesqueakpip & @scaryb Do you […]

@Bluesqueakpip:

@BadWulf – no. We see little Clara’s mother, and it’s the same actress who plays Ellie Ravenwood Oswald in Rings. Plus, this little Clara Oswald has a heavy Lancashire accent, as does her […]

@ScaryB

LOL @Badwulf re facial hair. It’s as persuasive as anything else. But just to throw something else into your mix – the Master also had facial hair…!

Precisely…! Evidence of a conspiracy of epic […]

LOL @Badwulf re facial hair. It’s as persuasive as anything else. But just to throw something else into your mix – the Master also had facial hair…!

First off…. apologies to @badwulf, I have now rewatched for the third time, but this time my screen wasn’t subjected to glare from sunlight, and you are right, it is Trenzalore, not Gallifrey…. unless the two […]

@badwulf I think what we see is larger and in the distance, like a ruined building, but I’m happy to be wrong, as what happens is usually better than what I conjure up.

Ok, new theory…. What if…

What if […]

@shazzbot @badwulf

It appears to me to be the ruined city we see at the start of the episode when the TARDIS is stolen. Could be (probably am) wrong.

 is really a ClaraFragment rather than ClaraPrime as I had thought 

@BadWulf – no. We see little Clara’s mother, and it’s the same actress who plays Ellie Ravenwood Oswald in Rings. Plus, this little Clara Oswald […]

@BadWulf – Just before 2 (Troughton) runs past , where the palm trees(?) are. Hint – Use the pause button!

@BadWulf Is there something even darker in the Hurt Doctor’s history?

That’s my thinking – that it is what made him run in the first place.
