Hi @blenkinsopthebrave,  Thanks!

ETA: Just watched a reviewer claim that another unknown Doctor can’t be wedged in to the lore because we’ve seen all the regenerations.

Untrue: We never actually saw Two to Three.  So if they wanted to squeeze in another Forgotten Doc, it could be done.  But I don’t think so.

I’m going with WhitDoc is in a parallel universe.  Has been since her Regen.  That’s why the TARDIS went nuts and tossed her out.

And why she didn’t recognize the Stenza.

FWIW, it means we could meet other parallel Docs who might have had different fates, different deaths, different regens.

Cue the appearance of one of the Classic Docs!…[Read more]

That’s the one!  Thanks @wolfweed!  Off for a re-watch…

@craig  Somewhere long ago I stumbled on a “making of” video of The Curse.  It has interviews with the cast and Moffat as well.  Might be worth adding it to this page.  I’ll try to track it down somewhere.

Thanks.

@ichabod @lisa @janetteb @jimthefish

I think I am most drawn to the notion of this being a Full Circle kind of thing.  Where 13 is the 1 of the new cycle.  (I’m sticking with the Classic Numbering System, sorry War Doctor. 😉 )

I do agree that rehashing Susan as she was would never work.  But I don’t think it would have to be like that.  Sin…[Read more]

@jimthefish I just had another thought as I awoke from a nap.  How’s that for hopeless fan?  😉

Twelve takes One to see Susan (played by Carole Ann Ford of course) who is now old and nearing regeneration.  Which she does.  Becoming the new, younger Susan and Thirteen’s new companion!

She’ll be pretty sassy and refer to him as “GranDoc”. 🙂

@jimthefish [sigh] No, probably not.  I never get my wish.  Even at Christmas.  :p

I’ll settle for the fangasm, though! lol…  (settles in to wait…)

@ichabod  Thanks!

I know others like @blenkinsopthebrave are thinking its more likely that Doctor One will be the Clarence of the story, rather than CapDoc.  However, I am rather keen on the twist of the teacher becoming the taught.

In other words, Twelve is all against regenerating, but when he stubbornly explains its virtues to One he i…[Read more]

Hey @wolfweed.  Thanks for the comics!  Very cool.

I always thought it would have been interesting to have Two killed by the Time Lords by aging him to death.  That way, he could have been teleported out in the middle of it and appear as a much older version of himself.  And then teleported back at the exact moment he was taken away.

Come to thi…[Read more]

@<span class=”useratname”>blenkinsopthebrave</span> Thanks!  But sometimes I think I shouldn’t postulate what I actually want to see.  Since I am never right! lol.  I should theorize what I DON’T want to see.

Actually if Moff really wanted to give fans an out-going treat, he’d find a way to give us the missing Two-Into-Three regen!

First off, congrats to everyone who predicted the return of Heather.  Well done!

And kudos to myself for maintaining my perfect record of Not Getting it Right. :p

Stand-out moments: Missy dying.  How did they manage to make that sad?!  But they did!

SimmMaster getting aroused by himself.  Gold!  As was the music.

And now on to Bonkers for Chri…[Read more]

@thane15  Yes, see… you just had to noodle on it.

@pedant Or an entire pirate….

LOL!

  And we haven’t even considered spaghettification…

Is that part of Pastafarianism?

The Theory of Rotini

Or… Carb Annuity errors?

Or…. what @nick said much more succinctly! 😉

@thane15 I’m not saying that continuity errors should be excused continually but there does seem to be a fair group of people who, for whatever reason, bring this up. Often as part of a wider discussion to do with: a) the science doesn’t work b) we never see how Doctor 12 and Companion A survive a particular devastating experience or  c) the duck…[Read more]

@nick I suppose you’re right.  You’re going to make me (grudgingly) admit that we just have a different viewing sensibility now.  A shorter attention sp… hey look, a new YouTube video!

Don’t know why, but I was just thinking how funny it would have been for Cyber-Bill at the end to say “Doc – tor Who – oo.  You are Doc – tor Who – oo.”

‘Course the weren’t really going for funny at the moment… :p

@nick You’re reply to jimthefish sums up the he situation in BG Who better than I wrote.

Thanks.  Even if it was a slightly little long winded sum-up. 😉

Some of the very best Who stories, certainly in BG era, benefit from a mysterious build up, setting the scene and the key characters. I think one problem with many AG stories is that they ju…[Read more]

@tardigrade I’ve interpreted that to mean that TLs tend to recognise each other when directly talking to each other- a skill that would be handy when friends can regenerate into completely new bodies…

I would agree with this.  In The Five Doctors, Three didn’t immediately recognize the Master (admittedly though he was in a stolen body) but di…[Read more]

Personally I’m not too troubled by Missy not remembering being on the colony ship.  Seems to be a side-effect of TL’s meeting themselves.  Ten and Eleven had an entire conversation about not remembering the events.  “How can you not remember this?”  “Hey, its not my fault!  Obviously you weren’t paying attention!”  Hell, Eleven didn’t even remem…[Read more]
