I’ve seen a few people talk about the “time zone” line relating to GMT. I doubt the Doctor holds the way in which we mayflies choose to define when we should get up, go to work, go to bed, etc in that high regard. I would have thought that, when mentioning a “time zone”, a Time Lord is not referring to GMT, CET, ACST, EST, PST, etc. Instead, I be…[Read more]

A belated sorry and thanks for moving the posts from Spoilers. Apologies for taking the discussion “off piste”.

re. The teleporter / potential multiple copies of the Doctor

My understanding/rationalisation of this scenario is that during a “standard” teleportation the object that is teleported is broken down into a packet of (incredibly complex) data by the teleporter at the departure point, transmitted to the desired destination point, and re-constructed…[Read more]

Being a Brit, I am finding the “pants” theory rather amusing, as pants are a rather more intimate garment for us. However, it is strangely appropriate, seeing as we have indeed had some information regarding the Doctor’s undergarments of choice this series – according to The Zygon Invasion they have question marks on them! 🙂

However,…[Read more]

@lewis97

Now we’re talking! Trouser analysis! With pictures! Thanks for putting that together. 🙂

I shall have to ponder this further, as well as the Doctor’s hair length(s).

@sirclockface

In the beginning of S9E2 Missy tells Clara about the time when the doctor was alone with a teleport bracelet in a castle-type and in the snippet he was wearing a white shirt with a red velvet long coat. At the end of ‘Face the Raven’ the doctor was teleported to a castle-type place with only a teleport bracelet and was wearing a whi…[Read more]

You can just call me Frobisher, @puroandson. (However, I do like the sound of Mr. Frobisher, so the rest of you can smarten up, get a bit more polite, and refer to me as Mr. Frobisher henceforth. 😉 )

Sounds like you have tried quite a few refreshing beverages! I expect you will grow to enjoy some of the drinks the rest of your family do – I know…[Read more]

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

@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]

@SirClockFace @pedant

It would not especially surprise me (if filming schedules can be sorted) to see Ashildr along for a longer ride, desperate to do penance.

I hope not. I am not overly keen on the character or the actress. 🙁

River Song, perhaps? It would be interesting to see the dynamic of CapDoc travelling for an extended period with an…[Read more]

When Me says “Do you think a Cyberman fears a merciful death?” I think she may have picked just one of the species in her street to use as an example. I think we are not meant to know the actual species of the executed(?) man and his wife, and instead simply empathise with them and their situation. It is the same…[Read more]

Hello Puro.
I’ve only been a member of the forum for a short time, but in that time I have already come to know you and your posts here as thoughtful, creative and eloquent. Your kindness has shone through on many occasions, and your posting style was one of the reasons I decided to sign up here. I am very sad to hear you received the news you did…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip

Ah, fair dos. Did not know that.

At the mo, I’m leaning towards Clara “Prime” truly being dead. I think the “regen” pose was just a little joke aimed at us fans – I’m sure the show’s producers know full well what us fans speculate about, and this may have been a small acknowledgement of that speculation.
