    @FatManInABox and @FiveFaces

    At the moment I’m tending towards ‘Missy is The Master, regenerated as female’.

    Firstly there’s the name – a female Master would be a Mistress, so Missy (especially since it avoids the connotations of ‘The Mistress’ for the kids, while bringing it front and centre for the adults).

    Secondly, the Master/Mistress is…[Read more]

  • Whisht replied to the topic Series 8 Speculation/Wishlist

    y’know @Brewski and @FiveFaces , there are some on this forum who’ve been speculating about the likelihood of a musical episode of Doctor Who (as other shows have done, especially Buffy).

    And now I think you have it – Doctor Who meets Cabaret.

    perhaps as…

    “The Cabaret of Doctor Caligari Who”.*

    🙂

    (* either that or “Springtime for Davros”)

  • Brewski replied to the topic Series 8 Speculation/Wishlist

    @FiveFaces I love it when others are thinking the same thing at the same time! It’s always nice to know I’m not the only lunatic around.  😛

    I think “Genesis” rewrote the original history a bit with the addition of Davros to the story.  But IIRC he just excellerated the mutations that had already begun with the war with the Thals.

    I was i…[Read more]

    @Brewski and @FiveFaces – Nice to hear some bonkers – cheers!

    Really like that idea (that the Doctor may have caused the Daleks in some way).

    It’d be nice almost as a “I can’t prevent this (thing) happening – its a fixed point”

    and then we see him catch sight of another Tardis floating in space also watching the event and we realise he’s been…[Read more]

  • @fivefaces well if the guardian article about the BFI screening is correct it indicates a lot of “loose”ends will be resolved in the Xmas special and with the beginning of a new reign about to begin I suppose it is an appropriate time. In some respects I think TDOTD began that by putting to rest the doctors involvement in the time war and laying…[Read more]

  • Timeloop replied to the topic The Day of the Doctor

    @FiveFaces Good point. We should keep an eye out for that! Nice connection to Reichenbach as well.

    @wolfweed Do you have a detailed, international analysis? Would love to get my hands on that. For example how many people per country, general reaction per country and so on.

    @geoffers Yes, Clara and Bad Wolf are definitely part of it. But he might…[Read more]

  • DenValdron commented on the post, The Five-ish Doctors

    @fivefaces    Sooner or later, I figure we’ll know for sure.

  • @FiveFaces – it seems to me that it establishes End of Time, which hung on the whole time lock thing – which always seemed a cop out to me.

    Now we see how that version happened (so we also know that 10ant snogged Liz well before it!).

  • janetteB replied to the topic On the Sofa (part 2)

    @FiveFaces, I have only visited two Who related locations and they are both “embarassingly” obvious. The first is Paris and yes, when I first walked up the Champs-Elysees I was trying to work out just which cafe […]

  • She doesn’t seem to care about him very much

    @FiveFaces – if she moved down to London to go to university and he’s still working up in Blackpool; it’s not that she doesn’t care about him very much, it’s just that […]

  • I’m guessing that the question of ‘who is Clara?’ has now, to all intents and purposes, been wrapped up

    @FiveFaces: Don’t think so. I was wondering if it was just me – unwilling to abandon a bonkers theory. But […]

  • Great minds @FiveFaces… One of my ‘rough bonkers theories’ from above – the Hurt ‘Doctor’ being the a previous incarnation who caused the Last Time War. Not sure if I see him being a version of eight/McCann […]

  • @FiveFaces I don’t think there’s a direct link with Clara, although there’s definitely the seeds of the Doctor’s relationship with Amy in his interactions with Reinette – she even calls him her imaginary friend at […]

  • @FiveFaces that also plays along with the Pinocchio reference Clara makes from the Cold War episode.

    Definitely seems to be a theme of inatimate/artificial/copies/myths becoming real and vice versa

  • @FiveFaces I really like the idea of River being resposible for that number Clara got from the shop…. but I cant quite believe it. There is one scene in particular (cant remember the episode – Big Bang maybe) […]

  • @FiveFaces    I very much like that notion of all the Doctor’s female relatives coming to his rescue…that would be great.

    I don’t think River has to be connected  to the Time War to be the woman in the shop. […]

  • Welcome to all new members. @FiveFaces good catch ‘re Clara possibly remarking upon the person who gave her the number rather than the identity of the Doctor. I like it. The Doctor has been remarkably […]

  • @Juniperfish , @FiveFaces , et al. I have a new theory about the “lady in the shop” and “who” Clara saw in the book. What if they *are* the same person, and that person (said loosely) is a baddie? What if the […]
