@geoffers, @jimmyp and others: someone on the Guardian thread said they got quite excited at one point, thinking that we might be seeing the origin of the Angels- whatever holds the image of an Angel becomes an Angel etc- Amy had something in her eye…

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@geoffers You’re entirely right – it’s stated no helmet cams, CCTV etc. What I meant to type was that the soldiers ‘could have had’ helmet cams (i.e. change the story) and us watch just through their POV (slowly dwindling down to just 1 camera as they get picked off). Gatiss committing to a fully-formed, found-footage concept. So do away with the…[Read more]

@purofilion @mudlark Both great reads.

@geoffers Great bonkers theory!  It’s plausible, she became part of his time stream.

@frobisher Thank you, it makes sense now.  I agree, that has to be why the Doctor NEEDS to know, it’s like plastic Amy, he needs to see how convincing she can be.  Clara is clearly not just Clara, and his glasses are not en…[Read more]

@geoffers

now, i don’t know if this has been posited elsewhere

Yup. Extensively. Very intensively, in fact, before Capaldi’s casting was announced. I think most of us ‘Clara is the Doctor’ theorists took the Death in Heaven scenes with Clara claiming to actually BE the Doctor as Moffat’s ‘no, she bloody well isn’t.’ 🙂

But it could have b…[Read more]

This series just gets better and better. I felt last week that we had pieces of a puzzle that did not fit together. However the shape of the picture was there but without the conclusion it lacked meaning and what a conclusion it was. I have yet to rewatch, preferring to leave a day or so between viewings.

Everything I could say has been said and…[Read more]

@geoffers  I just logged in to find out if anyone else had picked up on that line about Clara not leaving your head once she’s in there.  On the surface, you accept it as a poetic way of referencing her ability to appeal to him in that pivotal Moment, but it’s a bit too word-crafted to be just that, I think.

Notice the complete and utter lack o…[Read more]

@purofilion
Love to hear your stories! You always have an entertaining perspective about everything.

@Geoffers @Bluesqueakpip
Regarding the song Amazing Grace, I immediately thought that since its a song about conversion
then has to be a subtle reference to Clara and the hybrid conversion. But I also can get the
Zygon hint too.…[Read more]

@geoffers

it’s the zygon osgood

Having it be the Zygon Osgood makes considerably more sense thematically. It’s what I’d call the more interesting choice.

For one thing, that would mean Missy killed someone the audience really did care about; and Zygon Osgood becomes equally an audience substitute. She’s just as upset about Osgood’s death as t…[Read more]

@pedant @geoffers

Well if as geoffers pointed out Osgood said ‘I would give all the lives I had’ then it seems it must be part of the evolution of the zygons. Unless of course the Osgood (zygon?) is referring to other humans copied lives she has duplicated?

Osgood must be a zygon then.. Aargh.

Their must be a few Osgoods. The original has been…[Read more]
