@dentarthurdent  @janetteb   Hi! I remember the first time I saw these episodes I was shocked when Amy got zapped! I had no idea that she was plastic. For me the part I remember is when there are 2 Doctors and they challenge Amy’s way of thinking about the  living plastic people and their rights, not knowing at the time that she is living pla…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent I am surprised to by the lack of comments. I thought these episodes are quite watchable, not stand outs by any means but not bad either. “Workmanlike” i think a poster above said and that really sums them up. I would not choose these episodes as a stand alone re watch but I will happily watch them when working through the series.…[Read more]

Happy new year to all us Forum Buddies. To @oochillyo @dentarthurdent @nerys @janetteB @winston @nerys @blenkinsopthebrave and many more…

my NY reso is to work more in the garden, despite the muggy heat. I’d like to say exercise & diet but I doubt that’ll change!
Hope we all stay safe from further Covid outbreaks and that the unnerving polit…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

yes, indeed.
and the filmic quality of those episodes are intriguing. They really are colour-rich, just drenched in sun & shadow. The Silent’s features filled with hollow spaces & crevices like the moon….

@dentarthurdent

yes, my smartphone IS a computer. I use the internet on it to text people, just as I would my laptop.

I also had a very cheap push button phone (a Nokia)  from 2011. It died eventually in 2021. Texts were my main form of communication & they still are but now I can access photos or send links via my phone (which uses an email a…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

hi there. Yes, ‘loading up’ was incorrect. I find, though, that after I click on 22 it takes a few minutes to get there. At that point, on my phone, at least, I have an awful lot of scrolling followed by it (often) going back to page 1 again.

Well we have made it through another storm although Xmas is cancelled till next weekend.That is fine with me as long as everyone is safe. It was a day of good old fashioned phone calls and that was nice. The mister and I took plates of goodies and loaves of bread to our neighbours so they would get eaten up and then we watched Back to the Future.…[Read more]

@craig, @everybody else in this wonderful little community, Best wishes for Christmas, Yuletide, Winter Solstice, Summer solstice, etc etc. Have a lovely festive season and all the best for 2023. May the planet stop baking, our world leaders come to their senses, may there be peace for Ukraine, and our researchers crack the Covid nasal vaccine and…[Read more]

hey @Dentarthurdent 🙂 how are you 🙂

I hope you dont mind this talk, I am quite enjoying all the science things and learning, ah when I said out of no-where I meant with the big bang suddenly there was well everything like the foundations for stars ect ect which is still a mystery how there was nothing to a Universe and all the things in it you…[Read more]

hey everyone 🙂 how are you all 🙂

Thank you @Dentarthurdent for explaining I still am shocked how it works cause I have that law in my mind but its different and works which is amazing 🙂 in couple decades free energy for everyone hopefully 🙂

Sorry if I sounded out of my mind I just thought something massive had been cracked and nobody…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent     The Doctor made a deal with the Sycorax I guess and he intended to honour it or he was just cranky that Harriet went over his head. Six words, just six little words. I love it! Maybe I just wish for that kind of power over my enemies. ( evil laughter ).

We are fast moving into winter here and have already had a couple feet of…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent   I really wish they had left that in, it would have made an excellent episode a little more magical.

@dentarthurdent

I sure missed a lot of stuff in my run-down, but I think it shows there was a lot going on in this episode.

Well I appreciate your doing these rewatches with me.  I have no idea when I’ll get on to the next ones.

@dentarthurdent

In either this episode or the next River actually implies that they are meeting in literal opposite order, so I think the show itself began all of our confusion.

I thought the scenery was stunning, especially at the beach where the astronaut was.  On Nixon, I try to remember he did some good things too, like improving relations…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent   This is an excellent episode that gives me all the feels. It is my daughters favourite episode and like me she cries at the end no matter how many times she watches it. The idea that Vincent could find out (by a handy trip to the future) that his work still survived and is loved and admired by so many is very emotional. Now t…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent  and @rewvian  i love these 2 episodes and now I am going to watch them!

Stay safe

@dentarthurdent and @janetteb  I had never seen or heard of any of them either so they were all new to me except of course Capaldi and Walsh, and I knew Walsh only from Coronation Street. We get Corrie here but not the game shows although I have heard of some of them.

Since I was a child I have loved all animals and most creatures (not mosquitos…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent I agree with you about the Angels episode. At the time, I thought, “OK, now we’re building toward something good!” And then the rest of the Flux arc fell flat.

@dentarthurdent My memory of these episodes was honestly pretty far off from what actually happened.  It’s amazing how much your brain can forget and fill in the holes over time.

I might slow down on my rewatch now.

@rewvian @dentarthurdent and @winston

Like Winston this is an episode  that I frequently re-watch. It is one part whimsy and one part horror but the latter is subtle and it features a cat.

I do like the reminder that the Doctor is not human. He/she appears human and at times it is easy to forget that the Doctor is alien. Seeing the Doctor not…[Read more]
