Hmmm, yes, those lamps. They were very carefully highlighted (no pun intended) and explained, weren’t they…

Now, it could be that this is a key plot point regarding Clara’s death. Maybe she didn’t actually die as we think we saw her do. Maybe she is merely in stasis, or has regenerated (having been imbued with a bit of CapDoc’s…[Read more]

Sorry to bring back a very old thread, but I have a question that has been bothering me ever since I saw this episode. I’ve skimmed this thread, and can’t see a definitive answer/theory. To be honest, there was quite a bit of troll-y behaviour going on, so it may have been lost under all that.

Anyway, as other posters have also noted, this…[Read more]

Apologies, perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. I too think Matt Smith’s Doctor can be extremely cheery and bouncy. Some of his stuff is just pure fun. I get the feeling, though, that he is often “putting on a brave face”, and is very, very troubled by the universe around him most of the time. It is more the tone of the…[Read more]

Well, for my part, I’ve felt the tone shifted to become darker from the start of Moffat’s tenure – and I love it. It is not all dark and scary – e.g. Robin of Sherwood, lots of Matt Smith episodes – and the darker stories still have very amusing comedic moments in them.

“Not sure why the Doctor kept asking if Osgood was a Zygon or Human, since clearly the point from the beginning was it doesn’t matter…”

My take is that the Doctor was genuinely unsure of which Osgood he was talking to. I don’t know if he had an inkling or not, but either way he found this Osgood to be utterly convincing. I think he w…[Read more]

Hello all! I’ve been enjoying your bonkers theorising for some time now, and thought I’d sign up so I could join in with some of the chats.

I’ve been watching AG Who sporadically since the start(ish), but regularly only since the 11th Doctor era started. I did watch some BG Who as a child (and largely found it terrifying!). Peter Davison is the…[Read more]
