@HTPBDET. I’m not thinking of it in terms either of credit or flak. 🙂  I think that Captain Jack and River Song as characters owe more to the creative imagination of Moffat than of RTD. Both have the fairy tale […]

Re the Tardis show

This originally came out of a point I raise which questioned why the Doctors ability to steer the Tardis in the AG-SM era hd mkedly improved than in earlier series (both […]

@HTPBDET

SM story arc/arcs

Yes I actually believe he will tie them all together before he goes. We may well be in for a shock if he does as I think he’s probably playing a long game he had in his mind at the […]

Apologies to @Bluesqueakpip and @HTPBDET Overlapping posts (I’m a  slow thinker 😉 )

HTPBDET – You summed up the magic just here –

Verity Lambert made sure the programme started with a fearless, fabulous and […]

And it’s not true. The TARDIS did not take the Doctor to where the kidnapped Melody was, for instance.

@HTPBDET – I think that’s a bad use of the word ‘need’. The Doctor almost certainly wanted to go to where the […]

@Shazzbot @HTPBDET

I agree of course, but is your description entirely correct description. The “fall of 11” as dropped in quite a while back, but we still don’t know what it exactly means. His narrative is ? […]

Of the BG Doctors, Hartnell has his moments of utter irresponsibility (breaking a vital bit of the TARDIS so he can stay on Skaro). I’ll leave @HTPBDET to comment on whether Troughton’s Doctor was genuinely […]

@HTPBDET

Little I can disagree with in what you have written. My “problem” with Angels is not with the creation of them as conceptually they are as fine a foe as any created. The reason I chose to highlight […]

@Shazzbot

Haha – you’re just trying to make sure we don’t go off-topic again 😀

I agree with @Craig and @HTPBDET re renaming it Running the Show AG, especially since it is AG that really introduced the role […]

@ScaryB @JimTheFish @Shazzbot @Bluesqueakpip @HTPBDET

An enjoyable discussion. I posted that the lack of returning monster/foes created by AG Who appeard to me to be a distinct difference from BG Who. That […]

@HTPBDET @JimTheFish and others

Fascinating stuff. A couple of points I’d like to add to the original post and comments. I agree that watching the story on first showing in the original context allows a better […]

@OsakaHatter @HTPBDET

HTBPDET and OsakaHatter I intuitively agree with most of your analysis. I do rather wonder what the focus will be post Steven Moffat and post Matt Smith although I have some faith that the […]

@HTPBDET @Whisht

Well said indeed. And glad to see this thread moving from extreme grumpiness (esp from me and @JimtheFish) to something a lot more positive.  Which is one of the unique features of this site […]

thanks @HTPBDET – on re-reading my minirant, I hope people don’t think I’m advocating making money off “free” fan content! (nothing’s free anyway).

I’m definitely not, but (taking just one part of this site as […]
