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:

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

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

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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