i’ve just finished re-watching my tv recording of ‘tDotD,’ and i can happily report that i was completely mistaken about bits of extra footage. it’s all there, i just don’t seem to have remembered it all in the cinema. i’m guessing it’s because i was trying to absorb all that was going on upon the first couple of viewings, but my eyes just…[Read more]

@DenValdron – i like your theory, and agree with you. my wider point, though, is that the daleks’ hatred of the time lords (and desire to conquer them/kill them all) may have begun with their very earliest defeats by the doctor. and with each subsequent defeat, their hatred and fear of him has grown exponentially, such that they now regard all of…[Read more]

oh, one other thing i remembered. matt’s tardis did not have a broken window, at any point…

and was anyone else disturbed by john hurt’s contact lenses? i wonder if they were there as part of the production, or if he just wears them, as i do, so that 3d glasses can be worn at the cinema? lol…

two obvious things…
a weeping angel in the snow(?). and the clock is striking 12…

but, what are those three “bullet-ish” things on clara’s necklace? any ideas?

@wolfweed – great spot on the capaldi faces! you are brilliant!

@Shazzbot – re: the time war

i interpret the phrase as “the war that raged throughout all of space and time, for control and influence of (and throughout) all of space and time.” both the daleks and time lords would rather die than be under the other’s control.

also, most (if not all) of the doctor’s defeats of the daleks (on screen) could be…[Read more]

hello, all!

i have just settled in for the night, having finally seen tDotD on the big screen… in glorious 3d! this is the first movie i’ve watched in 3d, and i’m so happy that i picked the right one for my first. it really worked so well, on all levels (once my eyes and brain adjusted to the glasses, which only took a few minutes)…

i would…[Read more]

ah, so many good ideas percolating around here! to whomever first came up with the 50(900) years in a day idea… that’s brilliant! some sort of reset/universe(s) reboot is surely afoot, as the doctor has to somehow rewrite his history (or prevent his future) to survive… and for the show to carry on? or, maybe just because moffat loves a good…[Read more]

hello, all!

might as well put these thoughts here, so that you can rip my theories to shreds, haha!

a friend and i had a long think about hurt doctor’s placement in the established line a while back, and we were wondering if he could maybe be between david and matt? whilst lurking about, i remember there was some discussion about the flashback…[Read more]

@ScaryB – haha, you could say he “wormholed” his way into my heart! in the past decade, there have been only three shows i’ve watched religiously, since discovering them: the re-imagined ‘battlestar galactica,’ ‘house,’ and ‘doctor who.’ and once i’ve watched all the (available) BG who, i might pick up a few of the novels, or the audio adventures,…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave – no river, and no rory, either? though i’ve only watched it about 20 times, so far… 🙂
