I’m interpreting/hoping that you think this episode is a difficult, if worthy, topic and it makes people uncomfortable to realize that the USA was so blatantly, no-doubt-about-it racist.  Hard viewing, but also inspirational and emotional.

If you come to Doctor Who for more science- fantasy escapism, (yes, I do too) you are hoping…[Read more]

Yeah!

I’ve enjoyed Tennant and Smith, but Capaldi’s run is as if they decided to do Who just for me.

Love his story arc, love his hair arc, love Clara (who I think belongs with him more than 11), love Bill…[Read more]

Strangest post ever. I thought I wrote it! 🙂

Right with you on the PCAP love.

That’s ok, thanks for the info.

Originally, I just wanted to be sure it wasn’t just me.

The login issue: me too.

And with that pic, you win Wednesday!

I don’t think we fully understand yet what this regeneration means to girls.

Mind, blown.

You win Tuesday!

A last comment on Clara: Is she the the only character besides the Doctor to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow??  I can’t think of another one.

Sadly, my Doctor Who knowledge is puddle-deep. No idea if anyone ever did it before, or even who said it first.

As long as we’re watching videos! Can’t get too much PCap.

Hope that link works. Some Youtubers have a great touch for these.

So, I read all the comments so far (really) and now it’s my turn in the mix. Bullet-pointy I think:

– I’m not a crier, but I teared up a bunch reading the comments. For the special it was the Christmas truce and the final speech…[Read more]

Thanks for posting that!

Merry Christmas!

I’ve never spent a Christmas Eve less focused on Christmas and more on Doctor Who.

I guess Capaldi really is my Doctor. (Sorry Tennant, I just can’t help it).

@miss Rodri,

I also hope the reason to regenerate is interesting/compelling. Maybe even mentions that he’s beyond the usual 12 and what effect that might have. (In my dr…[Read more]

Now we know your superpower!

2 more days…

I have been researching some, but I’m getting turned around with the numbering convention.

Whats the best way to buy these?

Thanks!

I’m looking forward to the Christmas episode, I’m fine with Whittaker, but, no more PCap!

Argh!

(Yes, I know, this post in neither helpful nor enlightening. The fan-girl struggle is real.)

Not sure if that link works, but Tardis Builders has a great thread on  ‘Evolution of the Capaldi Costume’.

Invaluable.

You’re definitely not alone. Remember more than 1/2 the voters didn’t vote for Trump. Doubt they are all thinking they should have voted for him afterall! Also feel very strongly that many who did vote for him thinking “anything but Hillary” are deeply regretting that move.

As for the ‘kind’ part, thanks for that. It’s aspirational…[Read more]

USA Midwest? What state? (unless you’d rather not say).

Our president (and by that I mean not “ours” but the current 45), is a giant (insert here worst thing you can imagine).  I’ve read in some papers he seems to have forgotten Puerto Ricans are Americans. I think he’s forgotten they are human beings. We can only hope for…[Read more]

Sigh. Even if you had the same views as your loved ones, this would be a challenge. I gripe with my friends, but unfortunately we don’t feel any better when we’re done. Aside from some early postcard wrting/emails to our representatives, I think we feel that we can’t do much. We contribute to the organizations we feel need the  extra…[Read more]

I love it because it’s more Capaldi.

I hate it because no more Capladi after.

Your name is too long. 🙂

Otherwise, I took it as ‘I won’t change again, I want to stay as I am or die.’

I think he’s burnt out with the effort it takes to get rolling again in a new form. I think also, Bill being turned into a Cyberman, and Missy dissappointing him was all a bit much to an already fatally injured…[Read more]

So, a funny thing happened on the way through this 8/9/10 rewatch…I fell in love with PC’s Doctor .

How awkward to fall like a brick at the end of a Doctor’s timeline! And I really don’t have time for this. Game of Thrones is almost half over! I should be all about Brienne and Arya, but here I am instead, trapped in a shipper’s pocket univ…[Read more]

Regarding the Doctor’s present state of mind (and I’m sure I’m not the only one to say it), couldn’t this have something to do with the number of regenerations he’s had? Maybe there is a good reason for a max number of 12 (or was it 13?). Maybe living that number of lives (and they are different people in my opoinion or reg…[Read more]

To further wrap my mind around the 12th Doctor I’m doing a…rewatch! How original.

Now that Capaldi’s reign is over, I find I’m watching these episodes more intently than I did at first. Each episode provides so much FUN regardless of plot issues. Each episode advances the Clara /Doctor relationship (and I’m realizing now that’s what I’…[Read more]

Yes! I aslo think Season 8 Calpaldi had that whiff of Malcolm Tucker about him.

Also, I “Follow the Hair”:

Short and severe in Season 8, longer (and my favorite) in Season 9 to go with his more laidback look and approachable demeanor, and full-blown Super Pertwee in Season 1o, indicative of…I’m not sure what.

Maybe his focus on…[Read more]

Lots of thoughtful commentary. Lost of attempting to engage rather than the trolling I’ve been reading lately.

For my part, I’m very ple…[Read more]
