Oh just one quick thought – time lords upload their mind/souls/memories to the Matrix just before they die and once there – just like the repository in silence in the library – its hard to tell its not reality… […]

My spelling auto correct keeps changing asylum of the daleks to asylum of the dales.

I now can’t get out of my head a scene where every significant dale in history – dale winton, Jim dale etc – is gathered in a […]

@thedoctordude – by the point asylum occurs, earth has been invaded by daleks (and sent packing) and humans have had many skirmishes the doc name checks exxilon, spiridon and Kembel alone in the ep. It’s probably […]

@bluesqueakpip – If I had to summarise what it is about who i love in 3 words, “bit non standard” would just about do it.

Anyone for a “doctor who – it’s a bit non standard” t-shirt?

@janetteb – I think you’ve inadvertently nailed what’s making me uncomfortable: “whose only weapon is a sonic screwdriver”. Time was when the doc didn’t carry a “weapon” at all and how it was brandished in this ep […]

@wolfweed – it should have been the author.

@bluesqueakpip – interesting you mention the skeleton just after a scene where the doc made quiet clear that nothing could separate him from his screwdriver (implying the skeleton must be him, not someone he just […]

@Shazzbot – Off the top of my head: I remember from the dalek invasion of earth, opening the door (with a comb between the poles of the magnet) was an intelligence test that was part of the plot. In the Aztecs […]

@Craig – please don’t get me wrong, in no way should you apologise for anything – we all have nothing but admiration and thanks for the time effort you’ve put in for us. I just mean that the incidents seem new and […]

OK this is a question I’d like some feedback/voting on. It’s grown out of a conversation between myself and @ScaryB :

I think Eric Saward was right to kill off the sonic screwdriver and it should never have […]

@craig – seem to be a few people mentioning losing posts (including me, just now – I got a DNS resolution failure)… might be something you want to check out…

@Juniperfish – *cough cough* … did someone mention a memory wipe/amnesia reboot theory …

NP its a collaborative effort, yada yada etc etc 😀 !

@shazzbot (my most favourite ever swear word, followed closely by phooey) – my take on it was that 9 had awareness of TL’s anywhere in time as well as space.

i.e. The Time War didn’t just take out TL’s from […]

@Tiddler – The Master was temporarily transformed into a human and so undetectable (the Doc did the same to hide from the Family of Blood).

Technically you’re right, I should have included that as a 4th option […]

@scaryb – no apologies required. Criticism from anyone on this board is just a much needed prompt to get my ideas more cogently assembled.

Yeah I felt the “looks different” was significant but was framed to be […]

@jimthefish – I much preferred the last one too. Can’t help noticing this one is much smaller, maybe it was pure practicality – the last one took up too much studio space. It really reminds me of how mission […]

@scaryB – I know what deus ex machina means! But i obviously didnt explain myself very well: IMHO God-Rose and Doctor-Donna are archetypal such moments – “a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly […]

@jimthefish – probably this should go on the sofa stream but my filing is notoriously chaotic:

I found CIF is now just a horrible experience and I suspect Dr Who is now subject to professional trolling; at […]

Also it being “all about the future, not the past” is a theme that keeps cropping up (you’d think as a reference to the anniversary and maybe an admonishment to old fans) but equally could apply to Clara. The doc […]

@chickenelly – good catch on red riding hood: lots of nursery rhymes and children’s stories woven in, in a story about singing lullabies…

The hover bike FX have been getting a lot of stick but I’m prepared to […]
