 I think it’s time for another bet with you. I don’t think Moffat will tie up those issues you mentioned – I suspect they will be utterly ignored. And I don’t think the Doctor will be walking back in his […]

@HTPBDET – 100% agree with your precis of Season Six! But this season is different – if there has been an equivalent of Rivers bald “imprisoned for murdering the best man in the Universe” statement that semaphores […]

@htpbdet I think we need to define what you mean by “save”. Clearly on a day to day basis, she’s been saving the docs bacon. However, I’m suggesting her duty of care may end when the doc gets to Trezidor.

When […]

@HTPBDET. We are kindred souls, my friend.

Re: comics and their rekationship to the TV show. My initial research indicates that the comics work independently of TV but they have to send their scripts in for approval to the current prod team. […]

@HTPBDET. Nothing wrong with being optimistic. Surely, the capacity to be optimistic is why we are on this wonderful site, rather than with all the moaning minnies on the other (unnamed) sites!

I don’t think he […]

@HTPBDET. #7912

Actually, I am wondering if the Doctor is more in control than we think.

In many ways, I think that Moffat has modelled the Doctor on…Moffat! They are both full of tremendous enthusiasm, […]

@HTPBDET – Well, yes, I expect in all likelihood the Fall of the Eleventh will prove to refer to the Eleventh Doctor, but somethings been nagging at me about it, it’s almost too telegraphed.  Perhaps just because […]

Can’t help wishing that Clara still turns out to be a regenerated fob-watched Susan though…

@HTPBDET – My money is still on Clara’s mother as a regenerated Susan. That date of death – the day the Doctor returns […]

@htpbdet i’m not sure how vigorously i should defend my speculation as i’m not sure i ever got to grips with river in series 6, but i think there are differences, most noticably that claras role is to save the […]

@htpbdet – she doesnt want to save him, she just needs to keep him alive long enough to get him to Trezidor.

Also it’s completely counterintuitive and therefore must be true, in MoffattWorld.

@bluesqueakpip @HTPBDET

Yeah son not brother! Durrr.

Didn’t know about Michael or Sam though.

@PhaseShift @HTPBDET

And remember, A Very Peculiar Practice had Pat Troughton’s brother David in it.

@HTPBDET – On the internet, you can meet people who have a low opinion of EVERYTHING and ANYTHING. It’s a remarkable gift to the world. 🙂

@htpbdet – when it suited them, TLs had complete control over the tardis – the CIA sending it where they needed the doc to do their dirty work. If they can do that, it’s probable they can check the logs if they […]

@HTPBDET – no, not that bit. I’ll have to haul the DVD out and take a look – it’s earlier, when he’s told the prophecies by the Ood in Wookey Hole.

I think the point is that in most of the Gallifrey stories, […]

@HTPBDET – I think you’re missing a crucial point re:age; the Tardis will have a very accurate log of how long the doc has been travelling for, being with him more or less continuously through his personal […]

@HTPBDET – “How would Romana know?”

I thought it was fairly clearly implied in Utopia, and made pretty explicit in End of Time, that Time Lords appear to have some kind of biological clock going which makes […]

@HTPBDET

Not sure I’m buying this thing about the Doc not knowing his own age – the TL’s must have a way of tracking events linearly as well as in a timey-wimey way. If the Doc genuinely can’t work out his age, […]
