the oddness of 8 is probably due to it being the version from 13’s “inner mind struggle” episode? russell is certainly picking and choosing from chibnall’s run, perhaps trying to squeeze/finesse some of the lesser liked aspects of his stories back into “proper” nuwho perspective? as one who doesn’t have as much of an ax to grind…[Read more]

i think the giant skellingtons stalking all around london are nothing more than an offshoot of the “bone palace,” the rani’s headquarters. purely aesthetic, and a nod to fairy tales, but perhaps also a built-in “test” of how well the wish world is holding together? if everyone is content to accept them as reality, then the…[Read more]

anytime you get something like that, send a message to craig (here, or in a pm). he’ll block them from using the site. (potentially, if left unblocked, they could cause havoc with another user, or even the site itself, so it’s best to get rid of them. there’s a fairly normal stream of them infecting the…[Read more]

official facebook doctor who account has made that official, as well. although it is hinted that bradley may show up as a guest in the next series, too…

i have a new spammer for you, fresh for the holidays! user name is:

manssa

(although, in the message, the name is maasai. so, either, or both. thanks!)

for some, yes. might want to @craig about it?

not for me, facebook already opened that bag, and that omnisexual space-cat is definitely out of the bag! 😀

“It’s possible that the storyline is heading in a direction where the Doctor is losing all her ‘props’ – Gallifrey, Time Lord and now the Police Box – in a way that symbolises the past she now knows she’s lost. But if that’s the direction I’d expect it to end with the Police Box back as she gets her sense of self and identity (w…[Read more]

Doctor Who Will No Longer Use A Police Box For The TARDIS

seems likely that there’ll only be 8 episodes for series 13, but i’m ok with that, if they keep the 8 best scripts. it could make for a tighter, more exciting series? be still my beating hearts…

thanks for that, this is the first i’ve seen it. the flapping of the arms was a nice touch. if only they’d put a bit of a regeneration glow in there, for the viewing audience, after she hit the floor. but maybe he hadn’t thought all this through when first writing the ep…

but we all know, by now, chibbers is much more tell than…[Read more]

even with those clues, i’m afraid my brain has been wrung completely out of ideas. i’ve gone through every band i can think of, aussie or otherwise – inxs, midnight oil, men at work, ac-dc, tears for fears, the fixx, the cure, duran duran, a flock of seagulls!  (lol, and i’ve gotten sidetracked a few times, by old songs that i…[Read more]

as for zappa, i bought ‘jazz from hell’ on cassette…[Read more]

it would get me out of the store pretty quickly!

i’ve heard many strange tunes at my grocery store, but i shop there mostly after midnight, so maybe the store radio is controlled more by the employees then? lol

even this!

the 90’s weren’t the best decade for music, but i do have some favourites from then (sarah mclachlan, smashing pumpkins, tool, tori amos) worth checking out. your mileage may vary. but i think it was the decade that led to the “death of radio.” at least for me. i really abandoned finding new music on the radio (or via music videos) once…[Read more]

i really, really, really hope it’s not this song that’s driving puro mad?! (one of my favs of all time!) 😀

[edit: not being able to identify a song/song fragment drives me insane, too! and who doesn’t love a great mystery?]

my take on that was that she knew she only had a very few seconds to act (the system was counting down the teleport), and that keeping the threat contained was first priority. on…[Read more]

this was also the moment that i thought, for the first time this series, “i can’t wait to hear this (and whatever else) on the soundtrack release.”  🙂

i believe tolkien wrote it as: “the burned hand teaches best!”

At intervals during the telling of the tale,  props would be passed around to be handled, such as links of raw…[Read more]

apparently. msrbahar has gone off to “write [a] better score with [their] crappy midi keyboard and Logic Pro.” can’t wait to hear it…

but graham is emasculated (i.e. not the main character), powerless (depends on a women for safety), and subservient (even to the ghost of his wife)…

ugh, i made myself sick, just with that bit of role-play. deffo wouldn’t make a good actor… :-/

hello, puro and thane. i am, indeed, somewhat back. life has reduced me to once more lurking about in forums, instead of being overly active in them. i started out as a lurker here, searching for deeper meaning and understanding, way back in th…[Read more]

it may seem trivial to some, but not to the bonkers-izing peeps on this forum! well spotted! i still haven’t had time for my normal re-watch (or two), and i was so focused on catching the dialogue and following the story that i completely didn’t see it… even when she was running around without the coat. i feel like a total failure……[Read more]

when angstrom cuts the creature off of epzo with a knife, absolutely no callback to the last episode!  not even a “sorry, maybe knives are ok in some tight spots” from the doctor, who’s standing there helplessly, sonic in hand?

“So I’m going to end with the fact that I like the idea of a secret hidden from the Doctor’s memories” — it was time lord tech that erased clara from 12’s mind, i’d love it if they somehow tinkered with his memory long before that… perhaps when they gifted him that huge dose of regenerations, on trenzalore?

i was perusing the reddit doctor who group, and someone there suggested that the red crystal thing was the rear reflector from ryan’s bike, which he had picked up (presumably in a cut scene)? (someone even linked a picture of one from a catalog, but i can’t find the post, again, to link it here.) anyway, as ryan moves towards the pod,…[Read more]

i don’t think it will start so late, though. 10 episodes would run them right into x-mas, pretty much, if they begin on the first weekend in…[Read more]
