Why can’t the Doctor go back in time and visit Amy and Rory?

Short answer: cast availability (Lis Sladen is dead, Karen Gillan and Jenna Coleman fantastically in-demand and busy).

Slightly longer answer: the show needs to keep moving and looking forward. Once it gets bogged down in its past, it is dead. Moffat trod a very f…[Read more]

@Cedarbranchtardis you do ask a lot of question. I think the simple answer is too hard to bring back the actors. RL determines story telling unfortunately. I also want to know what became of Susan. One day…[Read more]

To state the completely obvious – we haven’t any idea what kind of chromosomes an alien from the planet Gallifrey would have, but sequential hermaphrodites are fairly well known in biology. 🙂

Yes; but then, I wouldn’t care about the character.  He’d be just another standard comic-book superhero — save ’em, lose ’em, all in a day’s work, and all forgotten by next week’s issue or episode — unless deat…[Read more]

**Whistles innocently**

The Doctor has a regeneration cycle. There are 13 lives per cycle.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-8.5/War-9-10-10-11

If he runs out of lives (11) then he dies for good next time.

However, at the end of The Time of The Doctor, he was granted another cycle.

12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24

We’re currently on 12. That means that…[Read more]

you will get lost/confused/not sure of what century you actually live,

A quick check I’ve always found useful (and one they could probably have done with in Last Christmas) is to ask myself ‘in which reality do I have to pay the gas bill?’

Sadly, that usually turns out to be the right one. 😀

How is it that Galifrey with it’s “superior science” and mentality can get their butts kicked by the Daleks?

Much the same as as the Viet Cong kicked the butts of the most technologically advanced armed forces on the planet.

Also, why do the leaders of Galifrey come across as “evil”? I thought superior minds had superior…

That sheet music is definitely someone’s piano arrangement of the theme, not exactly what was played. I found this link with the actual theme, because I knew that I had a lot of versions bouncing around in my memory.

To me it sounds more like the rubato in a Chopin piano piece, where the accompaniment stays…[Read more]

btw is it the same music he goes to war throughout the series?
I’ll admit I don’t pay attention and don’t re-watch enough, so hadn’t realised whether Murray Gold had used a ‘war’ theme. But wouldn’t surprise me if he had and thanks for making me listen harder (even if he didn’t)!

Re Daleks – we’ve seen them developing throughout the 50 year run of the show. They are driven by hate and obsessed with being the only force in the universe. The Time Lords are what stands in their way. The Doctor has stopped them on several occasions; particularly in the T Baker story Genesis, when he was sent back…[Read more]

Yes!  Star Wars and X-Files have been my things since…….well, forever. DW is a whole different beast and I’m loving every minute! We…[Read more]
