@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]

@jimthefish  Lets not forget Romana trying on new regens like she was shopping for a dress!  Lol…

First thoughts:

LOVED IT!  I was also too engrossed in it to catch Razor being SimMaster.  Felt silly that I missed it, too. :p

I liked the “Doctor Who” stuff at the beginning.  It was so clearly poking fun at fans, especially the ones who get a bit bent out of shape when he is called “Doctor Who”.

Along these lines, though, I thought what wa…[Read more]

Hey all!

No bonkers theories this time.  (Despite the attempt at the end to urge us into one. 🙂 )

I did enjoy the episode.  Noticed several people talked about it being fun and light, but it really wasn’t to me.  One of them more serious Gatiss ones, I thought.

Show of hands: who would want to see PC sing to Aggedor! 😀

@nick “that also means that D12 and D3 both spent several years living on Earth at the same time”

Hah!  That’s a great thought! 😀  I wonder if that’s how UNIT got their decades confused.

@thane15 was that your most bonkerist-bonkerested idea? Whoa! Tripping. I like it.

Yes, probably.  I will just keep getting worse until stopped or de-bonked.

(P.S.) Not turned into chalk.  Turned into that hard green foam stuff they put in the vases for plastic flowers.)

@blenkinsopthebrave and @nerys I remember the first time I saw that Trek episode, too.  I would probably have been about 13.  However, even then I was pretty weird. And while I was also very disturbed by the cold ease with which the woman was killed, I also distinctly remember thinking: “She was turned into that hard foam stuff they put in the v…[Read more]

@nick I guess I’m thinking that we can’t take anything we’ve heard this season to be completely accurate.  But rather smeared through the Doctor’s hazy perspective.

The repeated notions of reality not being reality and things remembered not being what they really were lends some weight to this.

For instance, for all we know, Bill knows all…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave Thanks!  Nothing like an insane explanation to explain insane behavior. :p

@nick Good point!  I guess it doesn’t have to have occurred at the end of Oxygen.  Could be at any point in the series.  May have something to do with the tatty jacket and its strange reappearance?

I think I’m going to join the ranks of “not my favorite”. I didn’t hate it, and some of it was quite good. But a lot of it was just odd and jarring.

I am with @jimthefish on this one: Trying to stitch otherwise stand-alone episodes into a story arc is problematic and in all likelihood will show its scars at the joins: or sew it would sea…[Read more]

@mirime  I don’t think the Doctor has a smartphone

That would have saved me a lot of screaming. 😉

<span class=”useratname”>@missrori</span> Well there was that mysterious phone booth in the background in Dark Water.  But I suspect that was just a red hearing device.

P.S. Did anyone else think: “a ship disguised to look like a pyramid?  You mean like a TARDIS?!”
