@HTPBDET – ah gotcha. My take on it was that the doctor was speculating and trying to reason it out before it became apparent that the GI was behind it all along; with that, all previous guesswork went out the […]

@htpbdet – doc created GI? Could you elaborate on that? The doc might have inspired it to attack the underground, but it had clearly been posessing simeon for 40 odd years, and we know it had already long called […]

@HTPBDET – oh and I love the theory that Susan healed Doctor One with some regeneration energy on their trip to Akhaten and that was imitated and became the mythology of the seven rings… rather a Face of Evil […]

@HTPBDET

The trouble is that the Doctor has never really regarded himself as a God – he may act like one occassionally but has always eschewed the title and not thought much of those who appointed themselves as […]

I thought the effects were extremely similar to a regeneration too. I also think it was the exact colour as used when he used a bit of regeneration energy on River’s arm last series, so I am with you on that one, @HTPBDET…

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

Big greetings to new members! This site is really growing.

I enjoyed @HTPBDET and @JimTheFish discussion re the merits (or otherwise) of Smith’s portrayal. I think his inconsistencies are quite deliberate. Not […]

@HTPBDET no probs but honestly, is more me having to sort out website/server issues, is nothing to do with anything you’ve done.

However, Brigadier’s daughter is now confirmed for the Anniversary Special. And […]

@HTPBDET

Great post – there’s lots I agree with, some things I don’t, although I can empathise. Totally with you on the 6th Doc for example.  And don’t apologise for your well-thought out opinions.  As Elwood P […]

@HTPBDET

You’ll have to forgive my slightly insolent whimsy. I wouldn’t dream of asking you to change your name for one instant – think of the paperwork for a start.

Here’s what I don’t quite understand […]

So, do you think Clara’s Mum is Susan? Is that the idea?

@HTPBDET – I honestly don’t know.

I’m now fairly secure in my belief that ‘Clara’, on a meta-level, represents ‘Doctor Who’. The dates are too precisely […]

Hi, @HTPBDET. Welcome to our merry gang!

In answer to your ‘wouldn’t she regenerate?’ query, I suspect most of the proponents of the ‘Clara’s mum as Time Lord’ theory are thinking of a Time Lord who’s been […]

Nice post @HTPBDET although how you cannot love Smithy … I know, I know, you don’t like them dark and I agree he is… which brings us to that cosmic vampire doppleganger does it not?

I like your vision of […]

@HTPBDET

that’s why I’m wondering how she died and if a body was found. Perhaps she did regenerate…

Ah… just noticed @HTPBDET is on here.  And @bobbingbird. Excellent.

 No-one’s mentioned this (I think) but Clara’s book  is “101 Places to Visit”  (may have misremembered the title). The 101 immediately […]

@WhoHar good to see you over here again – and you can rib @HTPBDET about the “S” in person as, happily, he’s made it over here too 🙂

As for Smithy, he deserves all the awards. It will be pretty fascinating to […]

Heheh @Craig – why did you think I’d typed that on here rather than on the G’s blog? I managed to get @HTPBDET to comment on the Asylum blog last year with a similar wheeze when we hadn’t heard from him for a […]

@PhaseShift I told @HTPBDET you’d been questioning him. Apologies, but good debate is always welcome. 😀

@HTPBDET if you put an @ before a person’s name then they will get an email saying “You’ve been […]

@HTPBDET ! A very warm welcome – you made it over here 🙂

Hmmn – it is interesting that we have The Great Intelligence consuming souls via Wi-Fi upload followed by “Grandfather” also consuming souls and […]
