    Mrs Flood? Still haven’t given up on River post spacesuit girl, and pre Mel. Maybe Captain Jack rocks up with vortex manipulator and sends her back to Amy’s timeline.

    Alas I fear Cap’n Jack’ll never be back.

    And Mrs. Flood will not be any of the existing Who lore characters.

    But I will go all-out bonkers theorizing now:

    Welcome back!

    Thanks!  Looking forward to lots more bonkers theorizing.

    But her change of feeling regarding her neighbour from the beginning of the episode to the end still still seems a bit puzzling.

    I had to go back and re-watch.  You’re right, it is a bit odd.  The only thing I could think of is that seeing the Tardis and re…[Read more]

    Hello all.  Been a while, but ready to get bonkers again.

    So this ep.  Overall I enjoyed it, but was not a fan of the whole goblin musical number.  I hope this is just a one-off Christmas Special kind of thing.

    Who is Ruby Sunday’s mom?  Well… River Song DOES have the same initials!  Hmm….

    Mrs. Flood: I don’t think she’s going to be the…[Read more]

    I’m not big on plot as a means of fan service, which this felt like a lot of.

    That said, there is a fan moment I would have appreciated: if Kate had one last encounter with the Master where she walks up to him saying, “Nice to see you again,” and then decks him.  Adding, “That’s for dad.”

    A bit of trivia on this: the original script for Day of the Doctor called for a poster of the first Peter Cushing movie to be in the background in the Black Archives. But I guess they had copywrite issues with it.

    It was the joke for when Kate Stewart remarks on what would happen if Americans got hold of time travel. “You’ve seen their movies!”

     

  • Brewski replied to the topic Part 3 – Once, Upon Time

    Ok, so they’ve already telegraphed how 13 is going to die: broken by messing around in her timestream.

    She wants to go back to find clues to her hidden past life.

    Except… she already has one!  Karnavista.  Wouldn’t it be best to just look him up again and say, “I know I used to work with you.  Tell me what you know.”  Gotta be less risky than…[Read more]

  • Brewski replied to the topic Part 3 – Once, Upon Time

    Going back for a re-watch because frankly I haven’t figured out enough to comment yet.

    Except this: Vindar reported that the Grand Serpent’s condition for the alliance was the deaths of some innocent people.

    The commander scoffs at this: “It wasn’t on the recording”.

    Vindar: “He made me stop the recording.”

    Um… isn’t The Grand Serpent…[Read more]

  • Had one other random thought:

    They didn’t say it outright, but I got the impression that the Sontarans failed to recognize 13 as the Doctor because they were assuming he would be a man.

    But I thought they couldn’t tell the difference between genders.

     

  • @blenkinsopthebrave Actually, as I think about it, I suppose that could be a resolution to Yaz’s story–i.e. the Doctor discovers her reality, while Yaz either goes off to explore the universe in her reality or returns to Earth (again, her reality), hopefully with the memories of her adventures with the Doctor intact.

    Oh I like that idea!  Othe…[Read more]

  • @devilishrobby lol. Isn’t bonkers theorising what we do here.

    Heh, yep.  But I was afraid I was out of practice.

    @blenkinsopthebrave Now that is a bonkers theory. I like it!

    I particularly like the idea that the Doctor is the real Doctor, but everything we have seen over the last three years has taken place in an alternate reality.

    Thanks.  I co…[Read more]

  • Hello all.  Been a long time!

    But this is the first time in a while I’ve felt a bit bonkers.

    I enjoyed this ep more than I thought I would.  The Sontaran story is a bit boilerplate but was ok for that.  The main plot, anyway.  The sub-plot in contemporary Liverpool was a little sappy.

    Felt like a standalone ep shoe-horned into the main arc,…[Read more]

    @mudlark I like that hypothesis!  I’m gonna have to noodle on it a bit more.  As far as what we find out is really happening being more mundane?  Well… that IS the sub-title of the discussion board, isn’t it? 🙂

    btw…tying in with that Christmas episode is something that popped into my head as I was watching.  The remark(s) about the sonic…[Read more]

    @mudlark: The reviewer in question clearly lacks imagination

    I can forgive that. But not knowing basic facts like we have not witnessed all the regenerations?? Unforgivable! :p

    Thanks for the invite to the spoilers discussion. But I have decided to go spoiler free this series.
