I get what you are saying bun, and to an extent I agree with it but for me it’s like Superman asking Lois to save Metropolis or Batman to ask Robin to be the hero. Not sure many people,  I might be wrong,  are tuning in to see Ruby be the main saviour as she has been in the Maestro ep and whatever ep 4 was meant to b…[Read more]

Other thoughts…

The Doctor’s tears
@bunface thanks for the quote, that does make sense.
@juniperfish @miapatrick – the tears are noticeable, even when the rest of his face is still. Also reminded me of Bill’s puddle-person who can come back in a teardrop.

Also @juniperfish – I’m liking your 3 witches (or 3 fates?) theory 😉
I do also like the…[Read more]

@bunface

It probably says something about the whole Who audience, which is what the reboot is now addressing overall

Interesting thought. If RTD is addressing this in show, it’s a more subtle approach than Chibnall would have taken (Doctor enters, shouts “Racism is BAD”, and exits)

I work in a large city and it’s highly multicultural, but I live…[Read more]

Glyngatwg means “Valley of the Cat” apparently:

I wonder if the pub name, Y Pren Marw, which means “The Dead Wood” according to Martin Bellam on T’Other Place, together with “The Valley of the Cat” are both tributes to stories by that master of weird folk horror Algernon…[Read more]

@thane16 Yes, Sian Phillips! For me, the indelible memory is her as Smiley’s wife in the 1970s version of “Tinker, Tailor…” Given a choice between watching space babies and Sian Phillips anytime, anywhere, Sian Phillips wins out hands down.

And while I thought the episode was excellent, I confess I did at one point (after Ruby has had no luck…[Read more]

@bunface

Oh, I remember reading your flights of fancy now! All the better for their ‘wrongness’, right?

Just waxing prosaic.

Oh, all the abandoned children, presumably, too. Which would tie in with Space Babies (a phrase oft repeated in that ep, and which all the Doctor’s children would technically be) and the Dad theme in Boom.

This makes a lot o…[Read more]

@bunface – hmmm your avatar has recalled Stooky Sue from The Giggle for me, in relation to all three of your speculations about the return of the Doctor’s granddaughter.

Stooky Sue = Susan foreshadowing?

Stooky Sue had three Stooky babbies – so it seems the Doctor’s progeny is definitely a thread to pull on.

@bunface @mudlark

I’m also going to suggest that Mrs. Flood is Susan

I have a (pointlessly) wordy post on Mrs. Flood in the Church on Ruby Road pages.  I don’t think she’s Susan primarily because she didn’t recognize (or even suspect) the police box was the TARDIS.  She only recognized it as *A* tardis (not THE tardis) after it dema…[Read more]

@Brewski  @bunface

 “The One Who Waits” is Susan.

Anything is possible, and in a recent Radio Times piece Carol Ann Ford was reported as saying that if the call came for her return she would be up for it, but even if the references to her so far do herald her reappearance, I doubt that it will have such a weighty significance.

In the conte…[Read more]

@Bunface @Craig @ScaryB – loving the Chris Waites and the Carollers spot and Easter egg pointing to Susan again.

@Blenkinsopthebrave

I seem to recall the Doctor telling Ruby that they are in London at the same time as The Hartnell Doctor and Susan. (Or words to that effect.) And at some point a bit later he stares wistfully across at where his…

Missed the Chris Waites (& The Carrollers) banner, nice spot. Apparently it’s an Easter egg – a reference back to the very first eisode:

Doesn’t rule it out being a current “bad wolf” type hint as well tho.
