SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@soundworld  At first I was stunned and maybe disappointed that her death came about through something so seemingly random, but, it really works. Just another day with the Doctor – but it could happen on any day.

Exactly; this is what she’s basically agreed to by traveling in the Tardis; it could happen to the Doctor that way too (except then th…[Read more]

Oops, sorry, I got “The Girl Who Died” in there twice.

That’s just Buffy interfering.

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

Thanks, @fatmaninabox! Now, if only there were a way to delete that extra “Girl Who Died” from my list (fifth from the bottom).

@fatmaninabox @nerys

I did think it might be possible that, in Face the Raven, the Doctor we are with is pre-Girl Who Died, but the Clara is post-Girl Who Died. But there is a reference to a room in the TARDIS that the Doctor has dedicated to tracking Me’s movements. So the Doctor must also have met Me already. Although… gah, my head hurts! :¬s

@nerys I have a pretty complex theory over on the spoilers thread (post #47670, about midway down the newest page, can’t miss it It’s a rather long post, though I wouldn’t suggest scrolling far below it) which can fit in to @fatmaninabox‘s theory, though I may have to do a bit of rejiggling of Capdoc’s arc first. Should be fine as a basic…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox

I haven’t given too much thought to the order of episodes from The Doctor’s point of view but I suspect that The Girl Who Died took/takes place after the events in the final episode.

Except that in “Face the Raven” Clara remembers meeting Ashildr (which happened in “The Girl Who Died”). So that doesn’t make sense to me.

@fatmaninabox

Yes, that is really rather clever.

But are you proposing that the Doctor had adventurs with Clara after the events in Face the Raven, but before Clara experienced Face the Raven?

It is at times like this I realise what a linear brain I have!

@fatmaninabox

“Clara’s different to the other companions. She doesn’t live full-time in the TARDIS, preferring to have a few adventures and then go back to ‘real-life’ for a few weeks/months. This leaves The Doctor to wander about on his own (or with unmentioned companions) before picking Clara up.

In this series we have Clara emulating (or try…[Read more]

@Starla Thanks for the link. Oh to be in Sydney right now.

@fatmaninabox Thanks for that link also. I really want to buy those Big Finish stories. Would be great to listen to in the car while doing the long drive to the city.

Cheers

@bendubz11

It’s a great post – I think it’s just that last little bit that @phaseshift or @fatmaninabox needs to delete.

Anyway, moving swiftly on – I think there’s definitely a link between stories. The biggie, I would bonkerise, is that what we think is the story isn’t the story.

So – what we think is the story is Clara leaving? They’ve made…[Read more]

@FatManInABox

I’m pretty sure the Trailers ‘thread’ was a Blog, or rather, a series of Blogs, until we decided that was too inconvenient and replaced it with the BBC Spoilers forum.

@fatmaninabox, @jimthefish, @phaseshift

I was trying to track down an old post I made to try and answer the questions of @frobisher and @nerys above. In my post #34221, I talked about making a post on the Trailers thread. But I do not seem to be able to find that thread. Any advice?

@craig, @jimthefish, @fatmaninabox, @phaseshift

When posting, is there a way of doing a link to a specific post (#xxxxx) that would take you directly to that post?

@fatmaninabox Many thanks, once again, for starting the new thread.

Really enjoyed reading the posts; lots of interesting stuff!

The current state of my bonkers theorizing for what it’s worth, which is likely in the long run to be very little…

1) @ichabod    Yes, 127 missed calls is a lot! And this from Clara who is now desperate to go on adventures in the Tardis. Even taking the Year 7s to Tae Kwon Do su…[Read more]

I just finished watching and I thought it was a great episode. Lots of politics , soldiers and Zygons! And did the Doctor call himself Doctor Funkinstein?  This was a fun romp that had the feel of an episode of “24”.  I Can’t wait for a rewatch later.

Liked the “It’s not being paranoid , if it’s real” line from the soldier. The idea of a m…[Read more]
