I seem to be the outlier here. My case against the Doctor being a zygon:

1. When was he duplicated? Before the episode started? Before he meets the zygon leaders/little girls?

2. If the latter, what is the sense in his interaction with the little girls/zygon leaders at that point?

3. He calls himself Doctor Disco before he meets the…[Read more]

Thanks for the link! @bendubz11  Its always encouraging when others are having similar thoughts.

@countscarlioni It was delightful to see Osgood, and I really like how she played it as there being no difference, it didn’t matter which she was as she and her sister were true twin-hybrids.  And that conversation – question mark u…[Read more]

@bendubz11 previous post 🙂

Wondering about the up coming episode “Face the Raven” hm? Feels to me like we are getting very
close to a big reveal.

If it does turn out that its Ashildr/Elie as the same woman then she met Clara before becoming
her mother which is actually a little bit mind boggler to me in spite of being a long time Who fan.

Reading all the wonderful discussion here is every bit as good as watching the actual episode and certainly makes rewatching so much more rewarding.

I made notes, rather a lot of notes so here goes;

@lisa I agree re’ Ashildr and Arya from GoT being very similar, something that irritated me a little as the time though I also agree with @Ichabod…[Read more]

@mirime  Although your query was addressed to @bendubz11, I hope that it will not seem rude of me to butt in and answer it while I am here.

In A Song of Ice and Fire and in the Television adaptation, Bran is a young boy, rendered paraplegic by a fall, who has visions of a three eyed crow or raven who promises that, though he will never walk a…[Read more]

Yeah, but I could have scored in those matches!

And you know Levy will sell him the first time anyone offers some decent bunce.

@bendubz11 feel free, but as I’ve not read the books or seen much of Game of Thrones can I ask why?

@bendubz11

I’m just enjoying Harry Kane’s regression to the mean.

@bendubz11   I stand corrected 😳

I hadn’t come across the term in that context, and it doesn’t appear in any of my books on ornithology, though admittedly the latter are chiefly reference books for identification.

@purofilion   I wasn’t disparaging the bonkers theorising.  I just prefer the notion that the big bad in this case is somethi…[Read more]

@bendubz11

Clara’s mother’s maiden name = Ravenwood
Ravens = SONG birds
Wood –> “the only water in the forest is RIVER”

An intriguing argument but, while your first and third points can be taken as valid evidence, ravens cannot, by any stretch of the imagination be described as song birds.  The sounds they make are harsh quarking noises and a…[Read more]

Are we sure that the four words are – dark sword forsaken temple?
Could it possibly have been dark LORD(of the)forsaken temple?
That might have an interesting meaning

@Janette I hope they made enough of them for everyone 🙂

@bendubz11 – I think that the idea Glastonbury might turn up later is a definite goer, as bonkers theories go. If we’re doing Arthurian stuff, it’s heavily associated with Arthur.

But I suspect Moffat might be playing homage to the tenth anniversary of BBC Wales taking over Doctor Who – and at least partly using the Welsh version of the Arthurian…[Read more]

@bendubz11

Even in the Whoniverse, Glastonbury is nowhere near Caithness. For one thing, it’s in an entirely different country.

I cheerfully acknowledge that they may reference Glastonbury in a later story.
