ConfusedPolarity replied to the topic General Open Thread – TV Shows
@CraigNixon; @WhoGirl – I’m still watching The Musketeers; it’s an entertaining romp that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s the kind of thing I need on a Sunday night with the terrifying prospect of Monday morning ahead!
A couple of episodes haven’t quite gripped me – I’d like more political intrigue and less…[Read more]

WhoGirl replied to the topic General Open Thread – TV Shows
@CraigNixon I’m watching The Musketeers, I quite enjoy it, and it lightens up my dull Sunday evenings.
Every time I see Peter Capaldi I wonder if he knew he was the next Doctor when he filmed the episode…I’m filling the sci-fi shaped hole in my life at the moment with ‘The Tomorrow People’ on E4. It’s ok, it’s been interesting enough to keep…[Read more]

@ScaryB Sorry for getting glitter in your fur and for getting you into trouble with our new overlord @FatManInABox – heh – but not that sorry –Β glitter is immutable πΒ
@CraigNixon I miss Oswin Dalek myself – definitely my favourite Claricle. A gift to fan fiction at any rate.

@Bluesqueakpip – Undoubtedly
@CraigNixon – Nothing important π
My comment was more of a moan that the new YouTube comments format, with nesting, actively encourages trolling and gives it prominence. (Which no doubt works for YT by increasing the click rate).
OTOH, just ignore the comments threads* (and esp on the trailers, NotD etcΒ this…[Read more]

Bluesqueakpip commented on the post, ‘Loose Ends’ – for the 50th Anniversary Special and Beyond
@CraigNixon – I don’t think you can call the Silence good guys. Well intentioned extremists is about as far as you can go – and even that’s doubtful.
Good guys don’t murder for fun; which was one of the first […]

I admire your attempt to rehabilitate the Silence, but sorry, I’m not convinced!
I think the rumours which galvanised the Silence, Kovarian and the Doctor’s other enemies came from the GI jumping […]

@CraigNixon – I think the Hartnell was the real Hartnell – but the colourisation and upgrading to HD from black and white and 405 lines was a bit tricky. They probably had a similar problem with Troughton, which is why he’s only seen in siloh … sillou… outline.
Sean Pertwee’s an actor, yes. He has a distinct look of his dad – with modern…[Read more]

@ScaryB and @CraigNixon The spidery thing could be a dual reference to the racnoss as per the tagged images, and also the spiders in the Pertwee story, Plant of the Spiders, which was what first came to my mind. Likewise the soldier, which I took to be a U.N.I.T reference but is identified as something else, (temporary break in transmission) could…[Read more]

Update on the 11 lives in a day theory –
Or it’s the last 3 regenerations in a day, with HurtDr (as either aged 8 or between 8 and 9) doing the thing that now needs resolved. Which keeps it all AG, doesn’t tamper with the earlier history. Unless HurtDr is, as @HTPBDET suggested, Doctor Zero – above still applies but in timey wimey very wibbly…[Read more]

Still jumping up and down this morning!
@Wolfweed – “…some will have watched it 180 times...” Whatever do you mean?!!Β (Nice to see the trailer notching up the numbers on YouTube – 400k and 320k on the 2 official YouTubes)
@Bluesqueakpip Thanks for copying out the text – really helpful, and I agree on your pick-up of “impossible”

“Timey Wimey Wibbly Wobbly” is a totally acceptable explanation – “mumbo jumbo” is just too vague

Been wondering about the haircut too (for the reasons @Bluesqueakpip says) – ooh, a River farewell – that’d break hearts… OTOH River can have her farewell with Matt, but it doesn’t mean she can’t come back for series 8.Β A younger than in the Library River could be off having adventures with Capaldi even as we speak.

Craig replied to the topic The Tomb of the Cybermen part 1
@CraigNixon Episode One ends when you see the first Cyberman (or what looks like a Cyberman – we’re not sure if it’s real yet) so you can stop live blogging after that π
Look forward to it.
