@Arbutus – Hmm… interesting. You know the fans in US did take that moment to mean that The Doctor thought it was his baby, not Rose and Mickey. Not to discount yours and @purofilion view, not at all. It’s just weird how we took it differently. Which goes to show, one person’s  “obvious” is not always the same for everyone. And to answer your q…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip – Oh, what an interesting difference! First of all, I want to express that I mean no offense in throwing out the word “nerd”, as I take pride in such a title… because, lets face it, nerds have more fun than the “cool kids”. I’ve been on both sides of that in high-school… with the cool kids, it was too much wearing only “cool…[Read more]

@ConfusedPolarity – Yes, I wasn’t even thought of in 1970 (was born in 1980), so I missed out on this great episode completely, until now.

I’m a bit confused (no pun attended!) when you and others mention that it wasn’t cool to be a girl who loves Doctor Who. I never experienced such a thing, being that my grandmother and great grandmother were…[Read more]

@purofilion – Oh? I never would have guessed he meant Micky, for the fact Rose and him were over since the start of the Doctor showing up as the Ninth. And I was pretty sure that poor Mick had long got the hint of it, way before the final goodbye between Rose and Tenth.  So, that’s why I deduced that it was a bit of a joke there of the Doctor…[Read more]

@Recky – Hello there! 🙂

Oh, the Tenth Doctor is my most favorite for sure… but I am still loyal to my first, the Fourth Doctor. The Fourth represents my childhood and Tennant is my current love. I’m not so much a fan of Matt, however, he wasn’t a bad one… I don’t think there are any “bad ones” to be honest. Or I haven’t met them yet. I’m…[Read more]

@MonochromeDimension – Oh, oh, oh! I almost missed your post about the cosplay pic! You look very nice and the hat and sweater is awesome! 😀

I love Ainley as The Master as well. Also the AG one, both are nice and evil. 🙂

@Purofilion – Ha! Don’t worry, I’m new to the term “shipping” as well. My roommates are all very young and I learned of it last year. Yes, it means to imagine two characters of any series as a romantic couple or speculate it. Some fans ship the Tenth Doctor and Donna Nobel together… even though there is so much evidence to the contrary. Sigh……[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip and @purofilion – I couldn’t agree with you more. I have the same view that Clara is not “in love” with the Doctor and it would be a bit of a stretch. Although, some fans believe so and like to “ship” those two, because of the kiss and the sexual innuendo scene with the icy staircase. HOWEVER, that was one version of Clara who died,…[Read more]

@MonochromeDimension – I’ve just finished the special of “The Five Doctors” and enjoyed it much! I nearly choked on my “pocky” when the Third Doctor described the Fourth as “teeth and curls”. Hilarious! And I was happy to see The Master. Besides the Dalek, The Master is one of my favorite villains. Now, back to the Seventh Doctor I shall go. 🙂

@MonochromeDimension – No and thanks for reminding me of that one! I swear, my mind is wibby wobbly timey wimey stuff, gobbledygook , and all over the place. I’d lose my head, if it wasn’t attached. LOL The best part is, on the weekends I can focus better and do the things I meant to do. I’m looking at the start up screen of the Five Doctors now,…[Read more]

@Whisht – Have a great trip and happy holiday! 🙂

@MonochromeDimension – Yes! I love that one “I’m The Doctor” and had explained last week to someone on here that it’s my ring tone for my phone.  I love the soundtrack for the series and admire the BBC Symphony Orchestra!

My other favorite is, “The Doctor’s Theme”:

I can never keep up with the discussions on this thread. I sleep and when I wake up, I find that it has exploded into way complex topics and then my eyes go swirly trying to take in everyone’s clever deductions and conclusions. Oh, well… now, to reply to the direct tags towards me. 🙂

@MonochromeDimension – Ah… I’m a woman with a wondering…[Read more]

Only because someone mentioned Gallifrey today in another post:

@MonochromeDimension – Oh, my reaction to the rock scene with the First Doctor was shock, followed by laughter over the shock and his excuse when he was caught. So, if the scene is shocking (not sure which one you speak of, because I’m still way behind on the Seventh serials, having finished the First, nowhere near checking out the Second and…[Read more]

@Arbutus – Thanks! I love Bowie so much, but whenever I’m stressed I think of “Under Pressure”, that always calms me, especially when I belt out the chorus. Also, fun fact, I died my hair blonde last year because I wanted to be more like Bowie. lol.

@Whisht – Your pop-psychology is hilarious! I laughed out so loud, I hope I didn’t wake my…[Read more]

I didn’t disappear for too long… I had an eye appointment yesterday and couldn’t reply back sooner, because my pupils were dilated. I missed this forum right away, even though it’s only been some hours. LOL! Now to catch up..,

@MonochromeDimension – No need to explain, I think I understand. Before I began to watch the BG episodes now, I seen…[Read more]

@MonochromeDimension – You know, the more I am watching the BG serials, the more I’m beginning to not see the Doctor reincarnations as separate, as I’ve done before. Somehow, they all seem like part of the whole now, so I have a new appreciation for all of them… not just my favorites of The Fourth, Ninth, and Tenth. It’s a very interesting show…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip – As, yes, the “Time Lord Victorious” speech. I think that was a defining moment when the Doctor showed a very human side to himself. From what I gathered, that was not a pure arrogant boast for the sake of it, but a lashing out over the loss of his companions, especially that of Donna Nobel. I don’t want to leave spoilers, but I…[Read more]

@Whilst – Sorry for the lateness of this (different time zones and all), but Happy Birthday! 😀

Per your request, here’s my three off the top of my head:

1. Under Pressure by David Bowie

2. Don’t Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult

3. Brand New Day by Ryan Star

Totally random, like my mind works. 😉

@Monochromedimension – Oh, I see. I will continue to watch the episodes in linear then. However, it will be a while before I reach Ghost Light. And I’ve heard of Ace before, but don’t know that companion yet. I’m looking forward to it. 🙂

As for the topic of manipulation, I agree with you and @devilishrobby, I think all the Doctors have a dark…[Read more]
