hmmmm….. @thedentistofdavros and @blenkinsopthebrave

For some reason this collection of companions makes me think of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Maybe a spinoff show with a number of ex-Companions who team up and…. fight crime solve mysteries?

@Mudlark Good to hear from you. I have been thinking of you, wondering how the recovery was going. I hope that soon you will have progressed from tortoise to mountain goat.

@Blenkinsopthebrave I wanted to comment on one of your remarks up thread which I heartily agreed with but have now forgotten what it was. I don’t think you have said anything…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave

Ah yes Rita! It took me a while to think of who the character was but now I remember, I haven’t watched the god complex for a couple of years now but I do know who you’re talking about. I suppose they wouldn’t have really needed her as you said because of the strengths for chemistry between the main characters at the time…[Read more]

@Arbutus  @blenkinsopthebrave  @StitchInTime  @puroandson  @Missy  Thank you all for those kind words; it’s good to be back and I hope to contribute more to the conversation in the next few days.  Re-watching Doomwatch and Edge of Darkness after such a long interval has been an interesting and rewarding experience which perhaps merits some comme…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave  Just reading your impressive reflections from a couple of weeks back on the possessive insanity of fandom

Thanks, I appreciate the appreciation!

What I become increasingly dispirited by is that so many people seem to fear, and even hate, change.
Sorry, that seems to have turned into a bit of a rant. Clearly time for a…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave hmmm … I kinda know what you mean, but what my initial reaction was:

ah, so Dan Starkey is no longer the recurring comic character.

Weirdly(?) in my mind, I’ve had this daft feeling that Moffat resented that Starkey (brilliantly) made the Sontarans a figure of fun. To the extent that the Ice Monsters needed to be…[Read more]

@ichabod

Sorry for a late reply but I think you summed it up and wrote that very well!

@missy

You should definitely give John Hurt’s whistle and I’ll come to you a watch it’s very good! @blenkinsopthebrave is right Hurt is brilliant in it!

@blenkinsopthebrave

I second that about Hurt. Don’t forget his Dragon in Merlin.

Cheers,

Missy

@puroandson  (Solo)  Free the gryphons!  Cages are lousy under most circumstances, but a well-designed zoological garden is more for protection of animals from crazy, greedy, desperate humans than v.v.

@craig  @blenkinsopthebrave  — heard from “carolyn” this morning.  She has fallen in love with my profile.  Do I even have a profile?

@craig @blenkinsopthebrave

I get messages only from these freak bot people so I’m in favour too. It’s so disappointing when I get a notification from the site and it turns out to be one of those messages.

@blenkinsopthebrave I have floated that one before and the general consensus was that it was nice to have even if it gets abused occassionally. But as the site is quiter at the mo, and we seem to have had a rash of these maybe we should shut it for a while. I’ll post in website comments to see what people think.

Thanks @pedant Spammed again. @blenkinsopthebrave Loved Barcelona, hate these Romance Scams.

@mersey Thanks for the advice but I was actually just going to bed. Had free tickets to teh hotel’s club so it would have been a shame not to use them. 🙂

@stitchintime They are real people unfortunately. If they were computer bots there would be a way…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave I’m sorry you are disappointed but Martha was the companion who could be respected intellectually and even scientifically. She was one of the smartest companion of the renewed series. And she didn’t have a big career both as a doctor and companion. I think the essence of a human companion is that she or he is not the Doctor and…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave and @craig

Persistent little soul, isn’t she/he?

@blenkinsopthebrave @thedentistofdavros I’ve always seen the companion as the proxy for the audience, hence them needing things explaining to them (to a degree).

I really liked her in this clip and I’m glad they seem to be knocking the romantic undertones on the head with this companion. It bugged me that they kept on falling back on that with…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave @nerys Many thanks. Have spammed them, as usual.

@blenkinsopthebrave

I should have known, LOL!

Ah, ha! I must be the favorite. Miss Tina/loveuu left me a massage. Apparently @blenkinsopthebrave only got a message.

@blenkinsopthebrave

**Clicks “Like”.**

@stitchintime @kharis Yes I think once you’ve met Adric you won’t forget him in a hurry!

@blenkinsopthebrave Great choice and fantastic reason as well though I do have one question! Did you by any chance get to watch The Power of the Daleks? And if so what were your thoughts at the time as I imagine it must have been very confusing and possibly…[Read more]
