• Re-watched the Doctor’s Wife last night.

    For what it’s worth, one of the things said by a Time Lord voice emanating from the distress signal cubes is:

    “I don’t know where I am!”

    So:

    1) people trapped by […]

  • Now, I need to make like a tree and leave… my brain is hurting again.  Time for sleep.

    Tomorrow morning, I will probably drop this leaf nonsense and lie firmly in the “Hurt Doctor is Clara’s Father” camp… or something.

  • @WhoHar – Yeah, you’re right.  There are probably many more compelling reasons he’s going to be 8.5 instead of something earlier.  Not nice to play with people’s religion. 🙂

    Plus, there’s always been this gap […]

  • @WhoHar

    Well, it’s really only the date of his regeneration if the writers make it so.  But it certainly fits.  The day after he meets Rose, he sees his face for the first time.  We must assume it was a VERY […]

  • @WhoHar – Oh, I think all cracks can be relevant.  So the universe re-booted!  Happens all the time.  Rory remembers, and Amy, and the Doctor.  It happened, the cracks were real, and cracks (by definition) cross […]

  • But back to the leaf.

    When Clara gives up the leaf in TRoA, right as she’s saying “days that should have been and never were…”, we see her mom’s grave, with the date of death being 5th March 2005.  As has […]

  • Re-watching the finale, and a couple of thoughts.

    I don’t know where I am!

    The line everyone said when they were uploaded into the wi fi in TBoSM was repeated by Clara at least twice in the Doctor’s timestream. […]

  • @WhoHar

    Hurt Doc is in the Doc’s timestream – everywhere and everywhen the Doc has been / is going to be. Shouldn’t cracks be appearing all over if that was the case?

    But haven’t they been?  In Amelia’s […]

  • @Shazzbot – Yeah, go ahead and flip things again so my brain can hurt even MORE! 🙂 (it already feels like a pancake)

  • I don’t have access to my DVR right now, but if I’m not mistaken, isn’t the Whisper rhyme:

    “The man who lies will lie no more,

    When THIS MAN lies at Trenzalore.”?? (not “when he”)

    Maybe I’m wrong. […]

  • @WhoHar

    Agreed – I think the Trenzalore prophecy has happened. Silence did fall – all the stars in the Universe went out. Pretty quiet after that I think.

    Yes, while we agree the prophecy has happened, I view […]

  • @WhoHar

    The van Gogh painting is open to interpretation – like most good art. My initial impression was as yours is, but now I am not so sure. I’ve not looked at it for a while. 1, 2 or 3 Tardii, colliding or […]

  • @Craig

    When I saw the episode my first thought was that this had nothing to do with it, as it was not at the fall of the Eleventh, it was set after it. I think it may have been @Bluesqueakpip(sorry if I’m […]

  • @WhoHar

    Maybe the van Gogh painting isn’t two Tardii colliding, maybe it’s one Tardis splitting into two.

    I was just looking at the painting last night because people were saying there were 3 Tardis’s in it. […]

  • @Shazzbot

    Also – it’s bothering me that just before stepping into the Doctor’s timestream in TNotD, Clara says ‘well whaddaya know, I’m Souffle Girl after all.’ She hasn’t been fragmented yet – how does she […]

  • @Lula

    Continuity error?  Timey-wimey?   I’m not nit-picking, but Susan coining the acronym is canon, so…

    Well, if we start looking for continuity errors like that, we’d probably find thousands.  Admittedly, […]

  • @ardaraith

    Oh!! What IF, when they finally step outside that timestream, everything has changed!  What if the Time War didn’t end due to the brutality of Hurt Doctor? What if The Doctor ends it, with healing? […]

  • Or a completely bonkers theory, which we can call (for reasons about to be clear), “THE Bonkers Theory”.

    The Doctor is crazy, and JH is only in his head.  He hasn’t ever really dealt with the horrible things he […]

  • @Shazzbot – He’s a comic; very dark, ultra-liberal.  Facilitator bit is on his CD “Shut Up You F*%#&ing Baby!” Don’t think he would mind you using it 🙂

    He also plays Tobias on Arrested Development, in addition […]

  • I’ll take this further (although again, I still tend to lay in the 8.5 camp):

    The first Doctor, the Hurt Doctor, the one who made the promise…  broke the promise.  The TIME LORDS imposed a penalty.  They […]
