@shazzbot – I kind of assumed the episode was originally called “Hide and Seek” and got shortened to make it more snappy like Blink. There are a least 2 people hiding in the house, after all (attune time traveller […]

@bluesqueakpip – totally agree that theres a family shaped hole thats being heavily foregrounded. I’m not necessarily persuaded that implies that Susan must be the peg to fill it, or even that it should be filled […]

@bluesqueakpip @pedant @shazzbot @zaphod – I agree a family heirloom is a lovely idea, but so far @bluesqueakpip is right, its just an wishful idea so far.

Here’s a thought – maybe he went back to gallifrey for […]

@HTPBDET – 100% agree with your precis of Season Six! But this season is different – if there has been an equivalent of Rivers bald “imprisoned for murdering the best man in the Universe” statement that semaphores […]

@ScaryB

Can’t think where Dan Martin gets the idea that we have “intense speculative discussion on everything but what’s happening in the episodes”

Damn right. So. What’s everyone’s favourite recipes? 😀

And I think this more or less summarises every Moffatt plot ever. I think the plot of “Journey … ” may actually be stolen from this …

Footage from the anniversary special has been leaked, and it looks epic !!!!!!!!

… um, not sure why Clara turns out to be a magic pony though …

@chickenelly – liking the wig! It suits you!

@htpbdet I think we need to define what you mean by “save”. Clearly on a day to day basis, she’s been saving the docs bacon. However, I’m suggesting her duty of care may end when the doc gets to Trezidor.

When […]

@bobbyfat @shazzbot – we seem to have eliminated any possibility she can be anything other than completely innocent. Therefore the laws of drama insist that she can’t be!

@htpbdet – she doesnt want to save him, she just needs to keep him alive long enough to get him to Trezidor.

Also it’s completely counterintuitive and therefore must be true, in MoffattWorld.

Hang on hang on, what’s with all the sympathy for neve’s makeup burden, but not Dan’s?

I’m sure they could get round the problem with liberal use of veil and helmet, respectively. Anyway, what to call […]

OK – based partly on the clip posted by @wolfweed – I call that Clara is Madam Kovarian, deep under cover.

Or maybe she eventually becomes Kovarian? However she’s definitely lording it over what looks […]

He seems the very definition of the ultimate desirable male ..

@scaryb and the doctor, sitting in a tree K – I – S …

;-D

@shazzbot – I must unbeknowingly having a lot of near death experiences then :-O

Anyway I didn’t say I was concerned by an amorous doc (at least – as long as he’s not in the vicinity). The opposite, in fact!

@scaryb – I thought the possibility was being left open in the viewers mind that ladyG blinded her own child deliberately to create the freak show exhibit Ada became.

If mr sweet looks phallic, I’d suggest […]

@thedoctordude – good point about the chair, that fits well under the “mirroring” thread, and “Clara not acting until she’s been show what to do”. The latter is troubling though – does that mean she was awake all […]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@ardaraith – you’ve pointed out a couple of times the poignancy of Clara taking the docs hand as he grieves for the tardis.

@bluesqeakpip, you made me remember, the only other time I can think that happened […]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...
