@JimTheFish

I may not have expressed myself very well.

All I meant was that by the end of Ghostlight 1 we do not really know anything about the Doctor’s manipulations. We know he has tricked her by not being […]

Ace:                        It’s true, isn’t it? This is the house I told you about.
Doctor:                 You were thirteen. You climbed over the wall for a dare.
Ace:                       That’s your […]

@JimTheFish

Yes, its a stupid plot – happily, your reboot will be able to fix that!

🙂

@Arkleseizure

You don’t come across as a naysayer, fear not.

I don’t, for my part, see any difference between Dalek Invasion of Earth and War Machines, as story types,  except degree. The Doctor is not there […]

@JimTheFish

Agreed – that Invasion animation is great. I too am looking forward to the Moonbase one…I always thought it was the scariest, moodiest Cybermen story – it builds suspense beautifully. That moment […]

@JimTheFish

Yes, no issues from me.

Its not possible to watch the Troughton equivalent of Talons or Caves because it doesn’t exist in the archives. 🙁

You are right though – absolutely – that the […]

@Phaseshift @janetteB @ScaryB

I have been the beneficiary of Craig posting for me. Will amend tomorrow.

Apologies.

@MadScientist72

Again, fair enough.

I reconciled that by taking the view that Lucy had been mind-controlled by the Master to shoot and revive him- and once that was done the spell broke and she was […]

@Craig @Shazzbot

Maybe we could just rename the topic?

Companions and Concepts: past and present

What do you think. This one is very organic in its twists and turns. But, of course, whatever you decide is […]

@MadScientist72 @Craig @Shazzbot

True re the Master, except that as the story develops it becomes fairly clear that Lucy did not kill him but did what had been pre-arranged so that he could be revived.

So, I […]

@Arkleseizure

Yes, you are quite right – there are  a number of murders of Time Lords in BG Doctor Who.

It is an interesting question this: but I have always thought one way to rationalise it is that if the […]

@Arkleseizure

Fair enough.

For me, the iconic scene of the Dalek emerging from the Thames represents, in a very fundamental way, the concept of aliens invading Earth, regardless of whether or not they have […]
