Apologies to anyone I’ve missed off the list.

As to what’s goi…[Read more]

obviously it took a while for the computer industry to get back on its feet post Butlerian jihad

XD

So… either…

Russ is indeed engaging with the mad mysterious and oft disappointing and ludicrous world of Zchib… of which I know nothing… Or…

Tis but a humble plot hole. Actually, I don’t think so. Or…

It’s a kid show. We’re overthinking it.

But there must be an even chance this is getting Divisionesque. Yes?

Question: a…[Read more]

but it was in the jo martin timeline, does that mean we are in the alternate timeline now

Well, this is interesting as those memories are meant to be captured in the 13th Docs watch that she dropped into the divisions repository.

But the Doc at the end said that the stories were leaking out in the wrong order, so who knows.

also, the similarities of Mrs Flood’s dress sense to Romana 1 and Clara shown on the link does echo a recent debate about whether we saw the remains of the Blackpool or Eiffel Tower at the end of Robot Revolution. Although the Eiffel Tower actually links to Romana 2 of course.

On the other hand this debate is s…[Read more]

” When the Second Doctor and his friends encounter this unusual villain, he is attached to a computer known as the Master Brain, which produces the Land of Fiction from the Master Of The Land Of Fiction’s imagination. The Doctor Who baddie composes…[Read more]

’Moff’s last outing’… I may have been extrapolating from Moff’s apparent reluctance in accepting RTD’s invite to write for the last series. ‘Oh go on, twist my arm.’

Otherwise, I may well have assumed incorrectly whilst suspecting correctly… the emphasis on Villengard indicates Moff and RTD are cooking a…[Read more]

Sutekh’s obsession with hoodie woman was odd. Makes you wonder if that was really Sutekh. What were all the other goddy names about? Is this a reflection of The Doctor himself… Sutekh was obsessed because The Doctor is obsessed and mortified by his own origins? It’s easier for him to believe they’re all dead ra…[Read more]

Thought I’d do a recap ahead of the two-part finale.

What needs clearing up:

1. Who is Ruby’s mother / mysterious woman wh…

Loved the Doctor and Rogue’s rivalry with gadgets and their spaceships. The Doctor waiting confidently outside as Rogue goes into his “shed”! (I noticed the console on Rogue’s ship also had a hexagonal design – coincidence?).

I like the TARDIS’s new…[Read more]

Large parts of 73 yards do not bear logical analysis… part of what makes the story so scary. Of course there are issues with scary. The Hamlet test: the ghost ain’t supposed to make you titter; you are permitted to experience fridge logic, but this is my point. Reckon nobody knows…

re 10/14 (is that something to do with cb radio…[Read more]

Wasn’t sure if I missed something about Marti?… why was she scared of him (and why did she stay?)

I think the implication is that ap Gwillam sexually coerced/ abused Marti Bridges. He creepily insisted she (a mere volunteer in the hierarchy – so a massive power gap between them) be invited to his celebration party (but no other “low lev…[Read more]

The inability of the ambulance AI to identify Ruby’s next of kin was clearly supposed to be significant, and not simply down to the fact that she had just arrived on the planet and the information was lacking in their records. In fact, since the ambulance  was  able to identify her date of birth and calculate the years th…[Read more]

Lots of mad theories already, and that’s great. On the Devil’s Chord thread I postulated that the whole season might be based in a Mind Robber-like Land of Fiction; this would help explain some of the anachronisms.

Who-oof! That’s a thought and a half!

@cookgroom Good call on the “next of kin” thing about Ruby. Maybe it was unable to fin…[Read more]

Yes I would have liked that as well.

Thanks. I must own the DVD then.

Oh and popcorn is now added to the Doctor Who party menu. Question; does popcorn really explode like that if thrown on…[Read more]
