I am sorry, I don’t follow.

How does the possibility that the Doctor has been there before account for the two different photos? Edmund only died once and could only have died once.

It […]

@Blenkinsopthebrave.      Well, if you are right about Moffat planning for the Doctor to be behind Clara then it is just a rehash of last season. I am trying to see a way that is better than that, assuming that […]

@OsakaHatter.     No, it was never explicitly stated that Hartnell was the first but it always seemed that way.  Brain of Morbius is often quoted as evidence that Hartnell was not the first incarnation because the […]

@HaveYouFedTheFish

Why do you think Clara is not there to save the Doctor? Do you have a reason or is it just you think that can’t be it? Genuinely I am interested.

It seems to me that we knew that Amy was […]

Some thoughts/responses to all your great contributions.

@Timeloop.  #7734

He is clearly undergoing conversion to Cyberman – but, no doubt, he will get out of it. But it looks exciting…although possibly […]

 
Well, that’s two strikes for Mark Gatiss – another cracking Doctor Who story, this time a fabulous homage to the Fourth Doctor and, particularly, Talons of Weng-Chiang and Horror of Fang Rock, with a touch of […]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

Yes, welcome back @Craig.

I am about to post some medication inspired thoughts on the finale in Spoilers if anyone wants to fume with rage or snigger with contempt or even express mild agreement…

@ScaryB. […]

@Bluesqueakpip.    Although Sam was very nearly Doctor 11…

@HaveYouFed The Fish.   You got there before me – I completely agree with you re Hartnell and the relationship between he and his companions – Rose was very definitely the new Ian and Barbara.

I think the real […]

@Bluesqueakpip. 

Age:     Well, you might be right. Romana 1 struck me as the personification of what the Doctor did not like about Time Lord society. She was smug, self-assured, totally on top of theory and […]

WhoHar.      His brother? It’s the King Peladon David isn’t it? His son?

@Phaseshift.   Are there people who don’t like A Very Peculiar Practice?

@Bluesqueakpip      Your analysis above is, with respect, spot on. #7669

I agree that the Doctor’s issues with his age may be part of his overall memory loss here. He does seem, in some ways, to be falling […]

@Bluesqueakpip     I may be wrong, but I thought that the Dr ran from the Ood cave because they told him about the Master’s wife and the possibility of his survival?

@HaveYouFedTheFish   No, I agree that the […]

@Bluesqueakpip     You may well be right – as I say, I am no expert on End of Time.

I am not sure what passages you are referring to, but all I can say is that what you have said about Time Lords appearing to […]

@PhileasF        I think the ‘Doctor’s origin story is that he originates from the story’ could work

Yes, no doubt. Possibly will.

But in an “in-story” way – with his friends, companions, the TARDIS etc – […]

@Phaseshift

Rescue has this:

BARBARA: Well, what was the year when you left Earth? VICKI: 2493, of course. My mother had just died and Daddy wanted to get away so he took a job on the planet Astra. IAN: You […]
