@puroandson @miapatrick and @frobisher etc.

I first started watching TV over at my grandmother’s house with a disinterested older brother. It was a rather gothic house, (though decidedly humble) and the garden was very overgrown so scary shows had quite an impact on me. I stopped watching at a fairly young age, until my parents inherited the TV.…[Read more]

@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]

@frobisher could be that it changes from future doctor to current doctor when Ashildr changes to Me. He’d have the prior knowledge of her existence through Clara, it’s at a point when Clara isn’t actively travelling with him so there is time for a switch over, and it’s at an important turning point in the series.

A little love for Puro everyone, she is back in the hospital and needs our warm thoughts.  Remember, she was in pain when she wrote that post.  Puro loves the show and this Forum and I’m sure it’s eating at her to be part of any disruption or hurt here.  I think she is just taking a break here because of her illness and stress.  I’m sure she wil…[Read more]

@Frobisher @starla – yep!

;¬)

Seriously though, Frobisher I agree completely!

@Juniperfish – why the Lovers? Though Clara and Danny spring to mind, that could be a bit sentimental. Quickly flicking through the cards, might we get Judgement and The Star at the end?
I think the Star is meant to represent hope (light after darkness).

having been imbued with a bit of CapDoc’s regen mojo in The Witch’s Familiar

Nope, sorry. I checked that one out when other people started mentioning it – if you look carefully at the scene in Witch’s Familiar, you can see that Dalek Clara is the only Dalek not glowing with regeneration energy.

@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?

@puro  Oh, I agree — it gets annoying when people come here with what looks like every intention of complaining (as some of our recent Underbridges have actually stated outright!  Godsakes, as if there weren’t plenty of other sites just dying to hear all about it!).

@frobisher  Yes, I felt the same — Smith’s era had turned me off.  When Dee…[Read more]

Well I did find the shaky-camera “found footage” style disorienting.

As much as I like the “monsters on a claustrophobic space station” trope, I feel it has been a bit over-used.

I’d missed the Babylon 5 tribute @Phaseshift but I did pick up on the Gaiman Sandman reference, and felt this also owed something to The Ring (US version)/ Ring…[Read more]

‘The Sleep of Reason Brings Forth Monsters’; and what could be more unreasonable than to interfere with the sleep function?  As the Doctor says concerning the importance of sleep ‘…we wake up, rub the sleep from our eyes, and that keeps us safe – safe from the monsters inside’.  Prolonged lack of sleep makes people first disorientated, ev…[Read more]

They are really out to get her, aren’t they?
