@Spider –

OR, Missy is just a physical manifestation of a bad Mary Sue fan fiction where she is in league with the TARDIS saving all the people that sacrificed themselves for the Doctor so when she finally reveals herself to him she can show him nonone died! Rid him of ALL his guilt so he falls in love with her and travels all of time and space…

@STRAAX – I’ll do my best.

Why is the Doctor so rude about Clara’s appearance in this series – her big eyes, her makeup and that she has let herself go – loved when he called her Handles

The Doctor has never been great at social niceties.  Twelve seems particularly uninterested in human things like tact.  What amuses me even more is his inept a…[Read more]

@Mudlark – I like it.  If time is simply the 4th dimension, then for the TARDIS to go from one point in time and space to another point in time and space is simply a matter of relocating to another point on a stationary 4-axis graph.

I suppose it’s sensible, going back to @arbutus ‘s original point, that we puny humans, who can only observe…[Read more]

@Arbutus – A fair point, but I think we’re meant to ignore such things based on the logic of the show.  When the TARDIS pops forward or back a day or two, you don’t see the Doctor calculating where the planet will have moved to in its orbit by that time (although, of course, the TARDIS could be smart enough to make those calculations herself).…[Read more]

@thommck – The more I think about it, the more suspicious I am about Orson Pink as well.  I’m not sure this was mentioned before (although I don’t recall seeing it), but doesn’t it seem odd that his mission went so colossally wrong?  You get in a time machine that is supposed to take you one week into the future (and, presumably, not move in sp…[Read more]

I don’t know if this is the right spot for this, but here goes:

ARGH! My hopes have been dashed!

I had been nursing a theory that River Song has to come back because we have not yet seen the Doctor give her his sonic screwdriver.  As she says in “Forest of the Dead” (I’m paraphrasing), “Last time I saw you, you turned up with a new haircut and a…[Read more]

So happy to have found you all!  Until now, my Bonkers Theorizing has taken the form of talking to myself (or was I talking to myself? was someone listening?)

@Joehovah, I love the connection between Rupert’s one chair and Orson’s extra chair!  It may simply be poetic storytelling, but who knows?

I loved this episode entirely.  I loved the am…[Read more]
