@FatManInABox I think it’s also likely that the ‘mysterious woman’ in TEoT was also The Moment – not the Time Lady on Gallifrey but the one in the twin-set and pearls that only Wilf could see.

This is an interesting thought.  The timing would be right (pun intended), since we know this is when the War Doctor has just stolen The Moment.  Also, gla…[Read more]

Hi @purofilion.  Thanks.

My original thoughts about Clara and the Clock Face involved a Chameleon watch.  (I posted that on the Fan Creativity forum recently.)  But I think most of that didn’t pan out.  (And was not entirely serious. 🙂 )

You are right about the form chosen by the Moment.  It probably would not chosen Rose since this had n…[Read more]

Hello again.
Been away a while, dealing with life-things and dreaming up other whacky ideas:
I have been thinking about what initially looked to me like a plot hole in tDotD. I was also rereading some of the theories around about “the woman in the shop” who gave Clara the Doctor’s number in tNoftD.

 
Now I want to combine these two…[Read more]

Kidneys!!

Is there a renal theme here?  Is Moffat very organ-ized?  Or is it a case of bean there, done that?

I thought something sounded familiar, so I went back and checked.  Here is a snippet of the audition script for the 12th Doctor:

THE DOCTOR: Right then, eyesight. Not bad, bit blue. Ears – not pointy, right way up, more or less leve…

@Arbutus Can I be president of your fan club?

😉 Provided you don’t eventually decide to beat me with it.

@Bluesqueakpip   you do realise that some of the Eastern Orthodox Churches still have nudity in baptism?

I did not.  But it might be enough to make me religious again….   mmm…. nah.

The fact that this role means she’ll have to put chrism oil all over a very hot, very naked guy is, of course, completely unrelated to her enthusiasm.

LOL.  Holy…[Read more]

Hello all.  Well, I realize this probably isn’t meant to be a poll, but I might as well toss in my 2 bits.

New companions, it would have to be Donna.  I can re-watch that pantomime scene when she finds 10 and laugh at it every time.

Classic: Have to say Ace.  How can you not love someone who’ll beat the crap out of a Dalek with a baseball ba…[Read more]

An insane (and now obsolete) timeline for the Impossible Girl.
Sorry, this theory was already shattered by TNotD.  But I couldn’t resist posting it.

@Bluesqueakpip.  I can accept your explanation about the holograms being for Clara’s benefit.  Thanks.

However, I think the reason the early Christians were naked for baptism is because using clothes lines was such a pain in the neck and as soon as the dryer was invented they put a stop to all that nudity thing!

As far as the practical issue o…[Read more]

Now it’s my turn to ask a question. This is regarding the hologram clothes and the members of the church of the Papal Mainframe:

At Clara’s turkey dinner, we learn that only Clara can see the Doctor’s hologram clothes. (Much to the horror of her father and delight of Hollow Gramma.) Because the hologram was only being projected on Clara’s…[Read more]

@purofilion ha 10 mins?  No, no it had to have taken longer!

All right, you caught me. 😉 Still, it was better than my first attempt: “The Alzariuses moper mouth”.

Hi @ScaryB. And thanks!

@PurpleCup and @ScaryB: re Dorian’s prophesy:

Not to mention how tricky prophesies become when you are dealing with multiple possible-futures!

For example: in…[Read more]

@Arbutus forgot to mention.  I’m actually a rare breed, one who LIKED Adric.  But your notion that Tasha is actually there to guard him from getting back did make me giggle… 😀

@Arbutus Thanks.  I’m afraid I’m good for little more than bonkers ideas.

As for rules of fiction:

Prior to TTotD I read several posters on various sites who swore that “if they don’t honor the 12 regeneration limit I will NEVER watch the show again!”

But, um… if they DO honor the 12 regeneration limit (i.e. this is the last Doctor) you…[Read more]

@PurpleCup thanks.  Of course, one could argue that she is some earlier version of River before she learned out to fly the TARDIS correctly…. 😮

@purofilion Without Googling (look ma, no hands!) I am going to guess whence we also get “purify”.

10 Reasons why Tasha Lem is Adric (in ascending order of absurdity)

10)  Adric is from E-Space.  The Crack in the Universe probably leads to E-Space, which is why Tasha is guarding it.

9) Both argued with the Doctor.

8) Both can pilot the TARDIS.  (Sort of)

7) Both were under control of the Doctor’s enemies as some point.

6) Tasha is ag…[Read more]
