It sounds plural but you can refer to a single person in a gender-neutral way by saying ‘they’, for instance if the gender is unknown. Or perhaps if the person has been both male and female.

Also, surely the Gomez Master is due another appearance before the series ends.

I am also still 4 in, with one to go – I hope to rectify this tomorrow! I dare not leave the Great White Wizard Qui Quae Quod waiting – he might smash my lampshade!

@acciotardis Welcome!

Getting a tiny bit fed up with all these timey-wimey circles though. But enjoyable, possibly equal to Listen for me…[Read more]

I’m four episodes in. It’s fun stuff, although the horror movie atmosphere seems to disappear after a couple of episodes, which is a shame, and I was also sad that the (BBC3!) TV crew and the archaeologist aren’t as prominent as the first episode led me to believe.

Also, maybe this has…[Read more]

I wonder if she didn’t realise the significance of her having been on Gallifrey though – or maybe her assumption is that it can’t be Gallifrey (cos it is in the pocket universe), therefore it definitely isn’t – much like how Serahni has pointed out it needn’t actually be…[Read more]

I might just be being stupid, but I couldn’t work it out. Wouldn’t telling him what happened there ease his anxiety over the under-the-bed things? Help him understand why he is so bothered by the idea of them?

Also, doesn’t this mean that Clara just went to Gallifrey? The…[Read more]

Just a thought…

Although, in answer to…[Read more]

I like the idea that Time Lords have evolved the ability to just put their children to sleep when need be. Makes life a bit easier (although doesn’t stop them waking up again!) This of course confirms definitely without doubt that the Doctor is Danny Pink’s dad.

But here are some thoughts that have now developed in my brain.

The episode took a strange u-turn at the end, where instead of giving us any more answers to the questions being asked by the Doctor, it simply told us why the…[Read more]
