Interesting thoughts about self-sacrifice and suicide, and The Master.  Even more interesting when it is put in context of what the original theories were about HFM and Gretchen, and how/why they were scooped up by Missy:   Because they sacrificed themselves for the sake of The Doctor.

If any of this is true, it could be s…[Read more]

I spend much of my time on here saying “Good theory, I agree.” Sometimes I say, “Good theory, but I don’t agree,” but I don’t always have a good reason, other than “This other idea makes me happier”!  🙂

However, telling people on this forum that they’re not using the simplest explanation is a bit like announcing th…[Read more]

I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with this. The world is full of fabulous writers. Some of those “filler writers” may well have their own (brilliant) ideas about how to move the series on. We don’t know yet! Some new writers may join the DW team over the coming seasons, bringing new themes and ideas into play. And although we can’t…[Read more]

He’s the Head Writer. That’s his job.

The Before Gap series lasted twenty seven years, through ten producers and about fifteen script editors. I’m kinda hoping the After Gap series will reach that before Who has to be ‘rested’ again.

My personal betting is on…[Read more]

I guess  most of series 8 is written or close to being finished anyway, so its series 9, which will be written in 2014. How difficult that is I guess depends on whether Moffat has chosen to leave at the end of series 8 or not (They haven’t announced anything so far as I’m aware, but I guess the decision has been or will be taken soon…[Read more]

you really lack the Occam’s Razor principle – the simplest explanation is sometimes the most accurate.

William of Ockham, bless him, had many good things to say. However, telling people on this forum that they’re not using the simplest explanation is a bit like announcing that there’s a lot of sand in the desert, or that the sea is…[Read more]
