@gamergirlavatar @thane16 @janetteb @missy @ichabod So nice to read all your posts, I also “disappeared for a while” and yes, the limelight moves at the traditional 670616629.3844 per hour for sure, for good and for ill.

I was feeling pretty lackluster after watching the new trailer, which prompted a sad rewa…[Read more]

Absolutely: Loved PC in this role; loved all the stories -even The Moon As an Egg which, despite the general hilarity, I found rather endearing. And it had Hermoine….? wonderful actress who isn’t seen often enough (on telly at least).

Still, looking forward to the nex…[Read more]

It’s nice to see someone else shares the same sentiments that I do! I’ve always felt like Capaldi has been really neglected by people despite him being the perfect Doctor, really. I’m just glad I’m not alone in my love for him and the amazing character he created.

Unfortunately the login issue is something I have no control over – I get locked out by it too.

It’s a security issue, as Wordpress sites have been under attack since December when there was a massive databreach of 1.4 billion usernames and…[Read more]

I was fortunate enough to get to a cinema show last week, and thought Rachel Talalay’s direction was even more impressive on a big screen than on TV. The shots up and down the sta…[Read more]

@missy   I never was good at writing down my emotional response to anything. I simply feel.

Well, that’s what us hyper-verbals do in the world: put it out there for people to recognize as their own; or, just as importantly, not, or not quite.

For those who th…[Read more]

Me and Mum are waving hello to you all the way over and above in Canada. After Dad and I visited Adelaide which didn’t have humidity and even when it was 35 it felt like 25 Celsius, made me seriously think of living in South Australia or going somewhere colder. Dad used to walk the ‘beat’ in the London Met and says “get orf…[Read more]

@gamergirlavatar: thank you

@hiker: Ta muchly – I was almost happy until you mention Time!

Missy

I’m in two minds, part, like you, is looking forward to the special, but the other part is dreading it. *shudder*

I shall buy it separately this time.

Missy

Thanks for the links.

Missy

I agree with @bluesqueakpip. I rarely watch the news, and only read one newspaper The International Express – our British members will no that one.

@missrori: Well, I agree with your mother about JD, but nothing else. All I can offer, and it isn’t easy, is stick to what your gut tells you. Don’t listen to anyone else, just you sense of…[Read more]

I already try to keep up with those shows you mentioned Craig — I’ve followed some of them for years now — but it’s getting harder because I work nights and Mom notices if I have used the On Demand system on our cable boxes to catch up during the day.  She says I “better stop w…[Read more]

As said, a great countdown. Also more PC then no PC – I hate it.

Missy

@ichabod: That’s how I read it too.

@missrori; What would be wnderful is if someone tells him about Missy’s change of heart.

Missy

You could be right. Perhaps he thought that enough was enough.

@hiker: I have high hopes for the Christmas special. I’ll miss Capaldi. I hope he hits it out of the park!

If anyone can, he can.

Missy

An echo of CyberBill, “I don’t want to live if I can’t be me.”

Yep; this is deep learning, to come from experiences no longer consciously remembered, so it is a signal itself that the Twelve/Clara relationship was a particularly powerful one.  What m…[Read more]

I know what you mean @nerys  ,I watch on Space and hate the commercials, I can’t wait till I own them and can watch them like they were meant to be.(for hours in a row till my bottom hurts.)

When I first saw that Peter Capaldi was to be the new Doctor I thou…[Read more]

Many of you may remember me whining when Netflix was set to drop Doctor Who. Where was I to find my Doctor Who fix? In Canada, CraveTV has carried on with the licensing, and we signed up over the weekend. I was finally able to watch “Heaven Sent” … sans commercials. What a difference! I knew it was a brilliant…[Read more]

I also like @hiker saying that maybe more than 12 reg…[Read more]

Steven Moffat said so early on — that this Doctor is “an exposed nerve” of emotion — and Capaldi played that beautifully.  It helps to have a face that reads like a contour map of the Highlands, of course.

@hiker  Each episode adva…[Read more]

Just for yucks, my favourite of his episodes would be:

1. Heaven Sent
2. World Enough and Time
3. The Doctor Falls
4. Listen
5. The Magician’s Apprentice
6. The Zygon Inversion
7. Kill The Moon
8. Hell Bent
9. The Pilot
10. Mummy on the…[Read more]

Yes, the hair seems to be key. (Odd how you can follow the trajectory of certain Doctors in their tonsorial styling. Pertwee, the first Baker, Capaldi.) Oh and that New Statesman article is great.

Welcome. I hope we see you contribute your thoughts on Jodie’s version of the Doctor next year as well as Capaldi and Tennant’s era.
