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]

Aw, shucks! (But in reality, there were many finer minds that arrived at the same conclusion)

@The Beast (aka @glenisterm)

I think we spent most of the episode inside the Master’s TARDIS–the nethersphere on the inside, St Paul’s on the outside.

As for next week (can it be a whole week?) I have no idea what Moffat will pull off.…[Read more]

That is how I generally watch. My first viewing is very much an emotional one (which is probably why I rarely dislike an episode!). On rewatch I can see more twists/possibilities/flaws, and if I am formulating theories, it’s usually then that I do it.

Ive said before I think this series is suitable for a SJA reboot (ducking potential…[Read more]

why did she need all 7 keys?

The stage play/Big Finish Audio Adventure: Seven Keys to Doomsday.

Yes, Steven Moffat’s One Of Us. 😉

I actually loved this episode, it seemed so bizarre from the get-go I thought it would be really cheesey but, despite all the comedy, it actually managed to be really scary and unnerving. Great work by the Director I guess. Not to mention the writer and…[Read more]

I confess I’m having a hard time understanding those who feel that there’s been too much companion and not enough Doctor. The balance doesn’t feel any different to me than the Amy/Rory/Doctor balance did…[Read more]

Good spot on the Edwin Abbott Abbott connection. That’s why Rigsy’s estate is the Abbott Estate ( blog from writer Jamie Mathieson explaining the background to the episode Also includes the drawing he pitched it with)

Yes, Arbutus Jr. was talking about that recently too. What would we do without our kids to tell us how things actually work!   🙂

@pedant    If it ever become important I imagine Moff or a future showrunner will make something up.   Indeed. Like running out of regenerations. Whether it means anything to regenerate…[Read more]
