@mudlark   . . . the realisation of how much individual insight and historical knowledge is lost when any individual dies, but a Time Lord has the advantage of at least being able to carry that forward through successive regenerations

I know that feeling (we do seem to be on a wavelength here, and happy birthday to you too!).  It’s so fru…[Read more]

@pertweetroughton  So really, if you average it out, the era is mediocre, but for some reason, it doesn’t feel like that.

IMO, the reason is that it isn’t mediocre but so much better than that, that the “lows” can’t hold the rest down.  And I think that Moffat-Capaldi-and-all achieved so much *despite* the lapses and flat bits etc. that it’s the…[Read more]

Had a birthday Sunday (I slept through it, actually, an aftereffect of a bout of food-poisoning), woke up today thinking about CapDoc and “I don’t want to go!”  And the rest of it — I can’t keep on becoming someone else, someone else walks away as me, etc.  I thought I’d like to hear him say — this Doctor more than any of the others, because o…[Read more]

Yeh.  That great big hole burnt right through poor Bill — feels kinda like that, but first, the last Hurrah!  Damn.

@missy  Oh, I’d go for it!  New universes to be conquered by . . .

@missrori   I think “The Lie of the Land” comes off as a bit rough, even half-baked, which in fact the script was — that’s the one Moffat apologized for in an interview because he was still working on it when his mother got sick and died.  He lamented the fact that he never got to do a final revision or go over the draft that he turned in with C…[Read more]

@hiker  . . . I took it as ‘I won’t change again, I want to stay as I am or die.’

An echo of CyberBill, “I don’t want to live if I can’t be me.”
