@shazzbot– it’s a love/hate relationship I grant you! In spite of himself you might say.

But you said it all with “you can be so much better”. We’re in the quagmire, but from up there with a view of all our […]

@shazzbot – the 1996 American tv movie tried to answer exactly the question you pose, by introducing the idea that his mother was human (ie Spock). Feel free to gnash your teeth for a while. I can wait.

Ready? […]

@shazzbot – I agree that turn left ultimately was fairly banal, but for a while when rose shows up you are left thinking “who the hell really is Donna to warrant all this?”.

I can think of a specific scene set […]

@phileasf – 100% agree! Although I’m not sure about the dream lord, but I think the idea that the doctor is starting to persecute (the thin end of the wedge being he’s being less than honest with her as Emma could […]

@scaryb – totally could be read that “not happy”=”I’m terrified” and emmas observation as they leave the house supports that… Until the flashback then it becomes the evidence that they were not alone in the […]

@shazzbot – the actress Kemi-Bo Jacobs has only ever appeared on tv elsewhere in Lewis. But as noted elsewhere, the costume is familiar …

@shazzbot @ardaraith the arm around clara moment is really interesting:

1) as the doc says “this is a love story”, Clara smiles to herself in a very particular “I think he likes me” kind of way. The docs sudden […]

@phaseshift – going over next weeks clip, you can take swimming pool off the sweepstake as you can clearly see it (under an open sky!) through a doorway. It looks suspiciously lined with giant bookshelves…

@shazzbot (cc @phaseshift) … “all your theory are belong to us” 😀

Mr Shift ( or can I call you Phase?) – good call on nightmare man, Bob Holmes at his best. Leaped on it when it came out on DVD. Had a […]

@juniperfish – chin not only up … But unusually prominent! 😀

Well less than 24 hours after I posted that I would like the idea that the eye of harmony resides in the tardis (instead of under the panopticon on gallifrey) expunged from history, the doc wheels out a “subset” […]

Well we definitely saw something impossible this week. The T-Box (I really am going to persist with that until it catches on) really doesn’t like Clara. And you know what that means?

I. Was. Wrong.

Like I […]

@JimTheFish – arf! He’d only pick an argument with Russell T Dave-fish …

@ScaryB @craig – No nesting? Well who wants to break that bombshell to @chickenelly? (Maybe that’s whey bobbingbird can’t fly over?)

I demand more egg friendly facilities! We can’t be – um – eggs-cluding … !

@bluesqueakpip – “So, do we now have a shoal?” We shurely do!

Shurely everyone knowsh that fishes don’t have shoals …(hic)?

… Something Fishy This Way Comes …

@craig – the problem with that idea is that star trek tos was recorded on film, and arguably looks better remastered than tng. (Certainly mixing old and new footage looks great, but even then, that was done on […]

@phaseshift – 1,000,000:1 at some point someone says about the tardis “OMG…actually, it’s full of stars”

1,000,000,000:1 a gravity bubble with another police box at the centre

1,000,000,000,000: the eye of […]

Sorry, but nightmare in silver is a rubbish title. Neil, please feel free to help yourself to my unused cyberman story names:

When in chrome
Much ado about rusting
Tin god we trust
I would have got away with […]

@Bluesqueakpip – hmmmm maybe “same bunch of atoms” isn’t the best phrase since as you say you can shed all of them over 12 month and still be the same person. In the same way, you can shed all your atoms (through […]
