McLeela and I were convinced Weng-Chiang was the Master by the end of this episode.

After Deadly Assassin which Robert Holmes also wrote…

Thanks again for time codes – we found Tennant. We had thought that was Rory!

And we found the possible McGann – we had thought that was the GI…

Cheers
 

WENG:  Chang, I have given you mental powers undreamt of in this century. You are thousands of years ahead of your time. What can you fear from these primitives?
CHANG: True, Lord, I read their minds with […]

@Bluesqueakpip

Wise words…
The assassination attempts are pretty specific. The one at Lake Silencio ‘kills’ the Doctor, then shoots him again in the middle of his regeneration – preventing it from […]

@PhaseShift

I think @bluesqueakpip has the view that the Silence/Kovarian forces wanted to kill the Eleventh Doctor to prevent him from regenerating into a future Doctor.

It just seemed to me they wanted to […]

I keep forgetting to mention this from Asylum of the Daleks:

 
First: there were the Daleks. And then there was a man who fought them. And then, in time, he died. There are a few, of course, who believe this […]

@Bluesqueakpip
Apologies – yesterday was a not-good day. Happily though, today is Talons Part 2 day!

The novelisation describes him as the penultimate reincarnation, the one between regenerations twelve and […]

I am fortunate that there is a lovely Nurse here (Jennifer)  and she lets me split up my hour across the day – and she lets me stay logged on for long periods so that my visitors can have a peek for […]

@Whisht

Smith can get off at any time (just as Clara can/ did) – he hasn’t met 10 until he goes into the scar and travels along it to visit 10.

I wonder…

The versions of Clara we saw in Asylum and […]

@OsakaHatter

I have to say I rather suspect that your wild theory will not be too far from the actual mark.

It won’t happen like that I suspect – but I will not be surprised at all if there is an aborted […]

Broadchurch is just divine. I have just finished it myself.

Therapy you know….very recuperative.

@Bluesqueakpip

(Thanks for this – its fun!)
 
If Hurt isn’t a ‘hidden’ past Doctor, how can he be the Thirteenth? Firstly, we’ve not yet had Twelve – so it’s going to confuse the heck out of the audience. […]

The impression that I received when Clara read the book and said “that’s who” was that the experience got erased due to temporal paradox.

Sorry @FishComBomBulated – do you mean it was erased as she read it? or […]

Of course, if the [insert ominous sounding name here] incarnation of the Doctor is number Thirteen, it’s very important. Because if the Eleventh Doctor is really the twelfth body of the Person Generally Called The […]

@Miapatrick

the idea of the doctor suppressing his memories is heavily featured in NIS. But once the Doctor is dead? Who could do it then? 

I think the question is more why would the Doctor’s memories need […]

@FishComBomBulated

@ScaryB is right.

The BBC is a unique institution. Its funding is completely separate from its editorial charter. They are given the money and can spend it as they choose.

There are […]
