@drben – Of course, there are so many things I want from this episode, it’ll be impossible to get them all into a 44 minute show.  Is this one going to be longer?

yes, it’s (at least) an hour…

@macphisto96 – I’m not sure if we’ll get any type of story about how the Master escaped either before or after Gallifrey was shifted to the pocket universe this week.  It seems there’s a lot of story to tell beyond that.

i agree, in this series. i think we might get more hints this weekend (beyond “the one you abandoned, the one you left for de…[Read more]

@badwulf @TheBrainOfMoffat –

If there has been enough time for a memorial to be built, why is Danny only just now being inducted into the nethersphere?

I was also wondering that…. I figure it’s just a true plot hole, and will never be referred to or resolved.

danny’s consciousness has been lifted from his brain at the instant of death, and tra…[Read more]

@macphisto96 – i disagree.

as i proposed before, perhaps clara was on the near side (inside) of the gallifrey painting, keeping back as the dalek was destroyed and propelled through the glass. after the doctors exit the painting, she grabs the edge to look through, still hiding behind that wall, to make sure the coast is clear (of dalek debris,…[Read more]

@craig – have you considered writing a show along the lines of a “who-y horror picture show,” by any chance? let’s do a time warp (and a gender regen), indeed… 😉

@barnable – i can make most of that pregnancy theory work… BUT…

i think you’ve reached the pinnacle of bonkersising, if you really think the doctor and missy are going to have a child!!! think of what you’re saying, man! half the who fanbase lost their minds when missy was revealed to be the master regenerated… do you think moffat would…[Read more]

another random thing i noted, upon a (fourth!) re-watch…

i really wish the dream inducing patches and the 7 tardis keys ideas had been introduced in earlier episodes (like the teselecta was seeded early on, as a clue to the doctor’s death in ‘the impossible astronaut’), instead of being written into and explained in the same episode. i still…[Read more]

@TheBrainOfMoffat – Someone earlier got me to thinking about the hand in Day of the Doctor: when the Doctors emerge from the painting, Clara follows them out, but we first see a hand that, if I remember correctly, seems to be the hand of the opposite side. Who would reach across themselves to grab onto something like that? It always looked weird…[Read more]

@ScaryB – if clara is pregnant with danny’s child already, she can still live through this, to have at least the one great-grandchild, orson, whether danny is rescued or not. but i don’t see danny getting out of this alive, since the doctor told her that fixing his death would cause a massive paradox, the results of which would (presumably) be…[Read more]

@GothamCelt – When Missy was sitting on the steps outside St Paul’s , did anyone else start singing ‘Feed the birds, tuppence a bag’?

nope, but i did think, “how the hell did she get so far ahead of the doctor, to be casually sitting there like that?” 🙂

@purofilion – lol. er… i do find a sense of humour extremely attractive, and maybe clara does, as well… but, i’m thinking danny would be the father? not brave, brave sir robin. how else would orson look so much like danny, his great-grandfather?

IF there’s a pregnancy, and IF the timey-wimey loops from ‘listen’ are as straightforward as they…[Read more]

oops! and the jazzy music when she kisses the doctor is fabulous, i really hope it’s on the soundtrack for this series…

meant to say, soundtrack album, of course… 😉

@ everyone – so many great comments, so little of my own to add! lol… i’ve watched the episode three times, now, and i’ve cried every time at the “do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?” line. this incarnation is so “emotionless” that he can only resort to words to try to get clara to realize how muc…[Read more]

@Brewski – Sorry. I missed a piece of it: The history WE know is the one where the 12th Doctor has come back to ensure they get saved. The ORIGINAL history (that we didn’t know about) had him leave the family behind.

timey-wimey, indeed! are you saying that tennant doc originally left the family behind, and lots of things were different, but t…[Read more]
