@arbutus   The Master as Wile E Coyote  –  absolutely spot on! Brilliant 🙂

@elbalk-kev   There is not much I can add to what has already been said in response to your post; I pretty much endorse the views expressed by @JimThe Fish, @arbutus and @pedant.  The only authority I can bring to bear on the subject is that of someone who was (at least…[Read more]

@JimTheFish     Or how about the fact that the original Master’s plans for world domination were usually foiled by him suddenly realising that he’d be for the chop as well.

Has anyone ever compared the Master to Wile E. Coyote? Someone must have at some point; if not, I will happily claim it as a brilliant creative insight!   🙂

Thanks to @Blenkinsopthebrave, beautiful toast. (#36737)

To new friends, old ones, lost ones and those who are just temporarily AWOL

Special thanks to our mighty Emperor @Craig and the mods @JimtheFish, @FatmaninaBox and @Phaseshift (I’m with you on 2014, it started off OK but I’m not sorry to see the back of it! (Loved your snow pic from last…[Read more]

@ScaryB @blenkinsopthebrave @Whisht @Juniperfish @Barbaralefty @Spider @pedant @fatmaninabox @jimthefish @phaseshift

Thank you all, and apologies to you all (and anyone else who got a PM). I’ve deleted the offending user. It always seems to happen when I’m out! Just got home after a night out with my brother (first since we fell out over Scottish…[Read more]

@JimTheFish

Yes, there is a lot in Gingerbread to admire and it is, in its own little way, horrifically dark for this point in the run.

@Purofilion @Pedant @Rob @Barnable

Oh the multitudes of academic papers which have been written on the Bufffyverse 

True, but then you have to eliminate the ones that have clearly been warped by Shipper Mal…[Read more]

User [at]jennylve – PM spam.

@Whisht

You ARE special 😉

(And don’t confuse avatars with real people – they’re not always an accurate representation! Beware of dream crabs and perception filters!!)

(If @Craig‘s not around, maybe 1 of the other mods can deal with it? @Phaseshift, @JimtheFish,@FatmaninaBox?)

@Juniperfish Squashed chocolate treats – I thought I’d found all…[Read more]

@Purofilion @JimtheFish @Pedant @Rob @Barnable

Oh the multitudes of academic papers which have been written on the Bufffyverse 🙂

Giles and Buffy’s relationship is lovely – who doesn’t want a Giles.

Okay, finally been able to catch up with Episode 4.

I’ve not much to say that others (especially @Phaseshift) haven’t said. I’d agree that this is an important story; mainly because it was one of those stories in Series 26 that made you think there was more to come.

And then, there wasn’t. But if the show had ended on Trial of a Time Lord, I…[Read more]

Thanks @Phaseshift and @JimtheFish

Great summing up.  The thing with Fenric, is that it was much bigger than it appeared from the outside!

@Arbutus Loved your comment – “you could almost imagine the Doctor thinking that his last few companions weren’t bright enough for it to have made a difference”   I was glad I came across Fenric when it was…[Read more]

@Nine9

Jenna talks about it in the Extra of “Last Christmas”

Total horseshit. There was absolutely nothing that could remotely be interpreted that way in the Extra.

Do you think nobody here watched it?

@Craig @JimTheFish – one to keep an eye on.

@JimTheFish

I suspect our views aren’t too different (well apart from on one of the axes mentioned above), but am wary of saying too much to avoid the risk luring @purofilion into pre-judging.

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a happy time yesterday. Just got the Christmas special watched and read all your brilliant comments. I really enjoyed this and can’t wait for a chance to watch it again. It left me feeling altogether happy.

I loved what @Bluesqueakpip, @Miapatrick, and @pedant had to say about how the Doctor sees people. When…[Read more]

@cubefox Does anybody like her?

I daresay if you bother to read through some of the posts on this forum – heck, just this thread, alone – you might find a few people who like her.

@Bluesqueakpip … yeah, really sulk. By the volcano. It matches his mood.

I like that. It fits.

@JimTheFish Well, that was really good. I’m glad that SM is continu…

@nerys

As @macphisto96 said, it was the Mirror who reported as Absolute Actual FACT that JC was leaving at Christmas. Methinks they were stitched up, either deliberately or as part of a ruse to flush out a leaker.

Useful tip (which I am sure @JimTheFish will confirm) when reading news: if a major outlet runs a story and absolutely no other…[Read more]

@purofilion

Double apologies, yes @jimthefish got the title right (praise him) for Long Kiss Goodnight, and I’ll echo him in suggesting you seek it out. It has some great guest cast turns from people like Brian Cox and Patrick Malahide.

What is amicus horror? Holy hellmouth, is this code?

Yes – me lapsing into film geek mode, I’m afrai…[Read more]

Thanks for the quiz post @JimtheFish, which I did in a timeywimey catchup fashion. Very happy getting Tom, so travelling with @Whisht, @Arbutus  and @Lisa (love your dalek/Mayan apocalypse theory!) 🙂  (Tho I tend to side with @Craig – I’d rather be the doctor than the companion (which thanks to Moffat  is now that bit easier to incorporate in…[Read more]

That’s a nice timey-wimey Christmas wish @Arbutus 🙂

I’d like to raise a glass to @Craig for all his hard work creating and holding this charming Who space throughout the year.

And to our moderators past and present, currently @JimtheFish @FatManInABox and @Phaseshift for stirling services to keeping the sofa comfy.

And also a toast to absent…[Read more]

I got 11, which makes me very happy. Thanks for the link @JimTheFish, I have passed it on to some of my Who friends.

@blenkinsopthebrave – personally, I would love to see both/either River and/or Jack back, preferably both.

@JimtheFish @Craig @Blenkinsopthebrave @BarbaraLefty @JanetteB @Whisht @Lisa @Bluesqueakpip @FatManInABox

I got the tenth – amusing, because I think he’d get on my nerves in actuality, a lot more than eleven or twelve…
