@TardisBlue Anyone who posts Aretha Franklin gets my vote! 😀

@curvedspace Dr Who Teas – we should have had those for the day after the pub night, LOL

Links to both of those have been posted before, but worth repeating.

Alice X Zhang’s artwork is gorgeous, I really like her TARDIS one in particular.

On the subject of numbers, and following on from @curvedspace‘s post about record breaking Tumblr figs, the…[Read more]

I think it’s a popular complaint about Moffat that his tenure has seen a decline in overall deaths. It’s not something I really mind, as I’ve seen the show lurch in the other direction too often, with seasons of “everyone dies” and that gets even duller.

I think @Juniperfish has made some good points, but I’m less kind about the…[Read more]

However, I don’t think it is entirely correct in its reading of the Moffat era.

Moffat likes to think about the nature of time for a Time Lord.  And, in some ways, death has no dominion, or rather, a Time Lord can pretend it has no dominion.

In “The Wedding of River Song” the Doctor has this exchange with…[Read more]

Apologies for the late reply, this week’s been a bit hectic with only stolen moments on the forum possible.

I’ve reinstated the email tick box for topic threads. It was one of those things I didn’t think people used, but now I now better 😉

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, Heinlein did user that idea a lot (I was an avid reader in my teens), but I don’t like the result!  You could view all the various possibilities as just that, possibilities in the quantum foam with each having a probability, until one version ‘collapses’ into becoming reality.  Clara of course is zipping about through the b…[Read more]

@curvedspace – i agree. it would be so easy to do. there have been doctor-lite episodes, such as ‘blink.’ just come up with a similar idea, when capaldi is unavailable for regular f…[Read more]

The Empty Child:

Rose: “Look at you, beaming away like you’re Father Christmas!”
The Doctor: “Who says I’m not, red-bicycle-when-you-were-twelve?”

how come it’s the woman/PoC that would have committed genocide, oh how sexist/racist of you Evil!Moffat!

@curvedspace – this. We have enough screaming when they cast black actors as the Van Balen brothers – though since the person concerned only appeared to even notice black actors if they were playing villains, I wasn’t too impressed. The only…[Read more]

My biggest question is: how was Four there, looking old? Don’t we see Four regenerate into Five (I haven’t seen that ep; I don’t know)? If so, when and how does Four get old? And are we meant to believe that the National Gallery is in a TARDIS? Or just that Curator likes those round things?

Smith says:   “I never forget a f…[Read more]

Does Hurt regenerate into Eccleston? I sure thought I saw Eccleston’s face bleeding through but it wasn’t clear, and I can’t check it just now. If Hurt doesn’t verifiably regenerate into Eccleston, then we might have another gap in which to insert another hidden regeneration. It would be pretty cheesy to do so, IMO, but Moffat d…[Read more]

i took a break from all things Who, as I have been in mourning. 🙁

On the one hand, I think that “shipping” — trying to figure out who will get with whom, and who we’d prefer to end up together — is something endemic to television. I think that watchers have been […]

Lovely story. Especially:

He also really likes the Master

That boy will go far.

yes I can believe that. Fall of 11 doesn’t actually mean anything in particular, but we do know his “grave” is there, but not when he dies (or if its an immutable point than can never change). I […]

I don’t know […]

As to the Doctor being a woman, I suppose this might be TMI but I slightly prefer fancying a male-gendered Doctor. I have no doubts that the right woman would provide good female-gendered fancying […]

Thanks for the Gaiman link. Completely agree with –

I want to be taken by surprise. I want to squint at a photo of the person online and go “but how can that be The Doctor?”. Then I want to be […]

The Bonkers Theorising (apologies @chickenelly , I believe you trademarked that, didn’t you) is a fun, collaborative creative process, probably […]

I really doubt we’ve […]

This is despite the fact that both Post Gap showrunners have explicitly said ‘there is no canon’.

Although, to offer a dissenting voice (me? surely not!), Moffat’s […]

Oh and hi to @curvedspace Thanks for joining us and thank for the posts

she wasn’t holding a leaf was she…?

Re canon. haha – Who fans even argue over the canonicity of the canonicity of its canon.

For me, and this is just a personal view, the following were established in An Unearthly Child […]
