No. Not answered. Most things to do with the Time Window seem utterly baffling.

Either:

it’s a coincidence. High % chance she would be named Ruby by whoever. Did we get the name of the church? If it was All Saints, she could have been Nic Shaz Nat Mel Sunday.

or they made it up to be nice to Ruby, she was actually p…[Read more]

@thane16 @whohar @blenkinsopthebrave

So are we agreed, the problem is the art not the arc?

Well, we don’t know what the arc is yet… but to quote the easter egg from Blink AGAIN… that (EoD) got away from him.

Or is it the new demographic and paymasters? I hate  the idea of The Unit spinoff. Sorry.

Justified criticism… death – death = life. We…[Read more]

@thane16

but is that our problem rather than the writer’s, I wonder…?

The writer’s. Definitely. Like @craig, I too have an MA in scriptwriting. If I’d submitted this ep for comment, it would have been returned with copious notes, one if which would have intimated that it was really a first draft.

@mudlark, @blenkinsopthebrave

@blenkinsopthebrave

Well, here are a couple of reflections. I think we should change the subtitle of our forum to:

“Theories even more dramatically satisfying than what’s actually happening.”

Perhaps they should employ the members of this forum collectively as a kind of think tank to come up with scenarios for future Doctor Who episodes ;-)…[Read more]

@BlenkinsoptheBrave – I’ve had The Tempest in mind as an inspiration for this season because of the magic entering the universe since Wild Blue Yonder.

The Tempest has been ripe for modern discussion in the context of colonialism – Prospero seems like a cool magician aristocrat but he sets about enslaving the spirits of the island he and his…[Read more]

Brilliant posts people!

With the wishes at the end of the universe as @juniperfish elucidated, is it possible this applies to “death to death = life” @bunface you wrote of “2 wrongs don’t make a right.” And @blenkinsopthebrave yes, it seems “stupid” unless it IS connected to the wishes?
But if that’s so, then wouldn’t the Doctor need to wor…[Read more]

Oh, btw, was it @blenkinsopthebrave who suggested Sutekh would be defeated by the Doctor taping over Ruby’s video with an episode of EastEnders?!

That is pretty much what happened in the end. So someone got something right!👍

Also, happy that Ruby is gone. Her departure moved me not a jot. I never got a sense of her so it was like ‘go on, get out…[Read more]

@classicsrule1 @craig @blenkinsopthebrave

Well, the only possible explanation is it’s VR.

Ruby (and Bill before her) were deserted. The Doctor was deserted and abused. His mind has been wiped several times. This is someone examining the fluff in Doctor’s navel… like ‘Extremis’ but based on The Doctor. The Doctor is ultimately being turned ag…[Read more]

@ps1l0v3y0u. quit possibly we’ll see him actively looking out for his daughter/son, which he said he’s rather shied away from, but knew would exist at some point, because he knew Susan. RTD hasn’t told us/decided yet how much he knows. I think he thinks Jenny is dead. But this is one thing I really do like – the Time-whimey child, who’s own child…[Read more]

The Doctor says, though, @blenkinsopthebrave that “we invest things with significance.”

you did good work @craig 🙏

@whohar Totally agree with @blenkinsopthebrave – that is one awsome theory! (VHS tapes) 😀

Finally got to watch the episode two nights ago and have not had time to even post let alone read all the comments, a treat in store.  I want to post my thoughts before the next episode blows them all to dust.

It is about Susan…. Finally. I have wanted Susan to be addressed for so long so wish come true and i hope to see some answers in the…[Read more]

@thane16

Experiments on sound profiles or fluctuations of, & connections between, pitch in scales, triads & chords across an entire work are on-going but technology is developing legitimate methods of sound analysis and measurement in Time Windows (!)

And RTD has been dropping thumping great hints from The Giggle onward, in addition to the more…[Read more]

@whohar it’s all good -it’s above under the sons new and independent username: @fanoftom…

Yes!  “Either Ruby will go through the one at UNIT HQ and end up exiting the TARDIS in the time window, and then find out who left her at the Church. I don’t think she’ll find it’s her mother there and agree that she will have been left by some prescien…[Read more]

Hallooo Puro here! I’m on Son’s new address. I did have some of this post saved in word doc…  This post addresses the musical concepts, in general, of current investigations into Time Windows, in relation to fractals in music and the interconnectedness of the universe and music. So many posters have written extensively on the importance of…[Read more]

@mudlark

 I am, however, broadly familiar with the ideas concerning time and entropy and it has always seemed to me logical that the two were aspects of the same thing.

I was unsure whether to include my cod-scientific definitions – I assumed you’d probably be aware of the terms, but I wasn’t 100% and I reasoned it was better to include for…[Read more]

That was also for @whohar who commented on Jemma Redgrave & physics & maths. Also @blenkinsopthebrave  who inspired many thoughts on the importance of the Carol of the Bells & The Devil’s Chord.

@blenkinsopthebrave

On the question of Mrs Flood I’ve had second thoughts, and your idea that she has been watching over Ruby is pertinent. In short, I’ve concluded that she probably hasn’t been taken over by Sutekh or any harbinger acolyte of Sutekh’s but that, for whatever reason, she is time sensitive and so was aware of his approach. After…[Read more]

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@Mudlark @Blenkinsopthebrave

WOW!

That is 5 star bonkerising! 🙂

To take it a step further…  3 things strike me.

1. When did the TARDIS become infected? Let’s assume it was in Wild Blue Yonder, when the Dr did the salt thing at the border of the known universe and “the other”.  Although it may have been before (need a rewatch of the s…[Read more]
