    @bunface & @juniperfish yes, I’m thinking which is it?
    If it’s collective wishes emerging from Wild Blue Yonder then why did the Doctor narrate a completely different reason for the return of life itself? That  “ memory is life ?”

    @classicsrule1 welcome to the forum!
    I do think that the entire season WAS about the significance of Ruby’s mother. Pretty much from Christmas.

    Many orphans, like the Doctor, and those who don’t know their parents, have taken this story to heart (Still, I understand you registered just to complain  😀). The series is strong and has been this way…[Read more]
