Oh, never fear, I believe I may have ranted about the tarot a bit in BBC Approved Spoilers 🙂 and had a bit of a chat with @Phaseshift and @Kharis and others in there on the subject, where we mused on the cyclical nature of the tarot journey, which fits in rather nicely with all the snake (ouroboros) imagery.

Yes, Heaven Sent could be…[Read more]

Clara also has the dust in her eyes so will eventually become a sand(wo)man…And finally I did really like the different uses of POV because…[Read more]

indeed this could survive in isolation as almost a ‘concept’ story, rather than an episode in a series.

Yes, that is precisely what I was trying to say, but you captured it far more elegantly.

@soundworld Thanks for that. And you are not the only one struggling for the right analysis-words. I face that struggle every day!

ah, i see now. i agree with you, it would have been a smoother, easier to watch ep that way.

the only thing i can think, is that there’s some future/past* significance to the “dust camera” solution. i posited earlier that maybe it’s how missy managed to monitor the doctor and clara all last season, with impunity (the doctor wondering if…[Read more]

there are no helmet cams, and no cctv cameras in the base. that was clearly stated by nagata and the doctor. therefore, ALL the footage is from the p.o.v. of the dust cameras (or, in the case of people who’d used the pods, their actual optic nerves have been hacked)… however that works?

also, to those who think clara, as a teacher,…[Read more]

What I fear is that episodes I liked as a child I may now dislike. For instance, I remember loving the Slitheen double header, but I fear that if I watched it now, especially now that I’ve seen the Zygons, I would just…[Read more]

I had missed the post of @jimmyp. Yes, of course.  And I agree that this is not a normal AG Who outcome. That is why I think it is Gatiss doing a version of a BG Who story. On the issue of the Doctor “losing” and 38th century Earth being threatened, I strongly feel that Gatiss has consciously written a m…[Read more]

Isn’t the big take away from this episode that, for once, the Doctor lost? As noted by @jimmyp he didn’t just win and then leave behind issues or a mess (a big theme this series), but he lost.

Still pondering (among other things): How, exactly,…[Read more]

Certainly not one of the best but that does not make it bad and  I suspect it will improve on re watch but might not be an episode that invites repeated re watches.

Which personally I love because it leaves more ‘gaps’ for other novels/stories/fanfic to fill. So i think the timescales for it all happening with her…[Read more]

If one of Claras students would die (or be lost/trapped what ever) it might just possibly break Clara. Eighter leave her broken and empty or turn her into a fury. maybe out to safe the world FROM the Doctor?

Also what would happen to the Doctor, if a child would die on his watch? People die around him all the time,…[Read more]

Sadly, because (as expressed above) I’d rather not have things go that route. What’s that you say? They don’t write the show just for me? Wash your mouth out now, sir, you’ve clearly been brainwashed.  🙂

Which would be fun, in keeping with this episode’s ‘change is always possible’ theme, and a bit of a different approach to the Master’s character. 😉

By the way, anyone noticed that there’s yet another bit of evidence for Clara’s unconscious telepathy/empathy?…[Read more]
