@craig and @jimthefish
It is true about what @geoffers said. Posts (and not just by @geoffers) seem to have gone missing.

Oh, this is probably on the wrong thread…anyway, you get my point.

@geoffers I would like to see Lucie Miller but I think the whole story with Matt’s returning is a spoof.

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@geoffers    Thanks! Doctor’s trip to Ashildr/Me. he specifically says that it’s the last few hours of the universe, and that the time lords won’t be able to track him there. he also says to ashildr/me “go to hell, by my calculations you’ve got about five minutes…”  I’d wondered if there was a time stated in terms of how long in the future the…[Read more]

@geoffers

upon reviewing this scene, i did find it odd that ashildr/me remembers the events of “face the raven” so well, given her terrible retention. perhaps the time lords brought her forward in time, as well, and those events aren’t all that long ago to her, now? (but that doesn’t explain how she’s remembered everything while waiting for the d…

@geoffers: This would have been the end of the hybrid story except I speculate, by the laws of this type of storytelling, that Rassilon is going to try his best to create the horror he was supposedly trying to prevent.  So Rassilon is going to conduct unspeakable experiments trying to combine species for his army.

The point of her being at the end of time was that she was the last of the immor…[Read more]

@morpho

does anyone have any insight into how and why the word HOME appearing briefly in the azbantium wall?

@geoffers made an excellent observation about that earlier in this thread; initially the Doctor thinks it means his TARDIS, but once he’s through he realizes it points to Gallifrey:

when the doctor reaches the wall (and the word “home” is…

@geoffers

when the doctor reaches the wall (and the word “home” is there, then disappears) for the first time (our viewpoint), he clearly thinks that it’s the TARDIS waiting for him on the other side. his “home… away from home,” so to speak. he doesn’t realize he’s broken through to gallifrey until he’s on the other side. he looks around, see…

@geoffers indeed, I posted, went back to the main forum page, and your post was already up!

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]

@bluesqueakpip  if Sarah Dollard has seriously written a script that says ‘Don’t try to be the Doctor, girls, you’ll only get yourself hurt. Your job is to be the companion,’ then she ought to be ashamed.

Dollard has nothing to be ashamed of.  The message you see here would be, IMO, better stated this way: “Don’t try to be a powerful, quasi-imm…[Read more]

@geoffers totally concur with your point about Clara’s departure being exclusive in the fact that she is the only companion so far (AG) to have actually died in the viewers true sense. or so we are being led to believe….

@Lewis

Yes, I agree with your post too. Clara the Nanny/caretaker of the Doctor. She
was born not only to be the impossible girl but also with strong instinctual gifts to be a
nanny which made her perfectly suited to be this Doctors companion. She was that from the time
he was a small boy telling him his fear was also a companion. He helped…[Read more]

@geoffers   i think rassmussen himself is the man who hasn’t slept in five years, perhaps? his nervousness and mannerisms throughout the episode, at first, could be due to the monsters, the life or death situation. but when we find out he’s been a bad guy all along, i think it’s a clue that he’s just not been sleeping well/or at all. [Read more]

@geoffers – we had hardwired holograms* in ‘mummy on the orient express.’ maybe the rescue crew in this ep are those, as well?

This brings up a good point.  And thank you to everyone (@purofilion in particular) for all of your comments, which have forced me to rethink my opinion of this episode.  I still didn’t care for it, but I think now my rea…[Read more]

@geoffers Your thoughts re. the dust cameras:

maybe it’s how missy managed to monitor the doctor and clara all last season, with impunity (the doctor wondering if he was ever truly alone, in ‘listen,’ and missy watching the events of ‘in the forest of the night’

I love this idea! I’ve wondered before whether we’d ever get an explanation for that,…[Read more]

@geoffers

the only thing i can think, is that there’s some future/past* significance to the “dust camera” solution.

Or it might be metaphorical. How do we see the Doctor’s adventures when there’s no cameras around?

There was quite a bit of playing with the fourth wall in this episode – the one I particularly noticed was the Doctor’s reply…[Read more]
