@JimTheFish

Oh right – yes, that was fairly traditional ‘Dr Who really doesn’t get the military (or quasi-military) way of seeing things’ wasn’t it?

@JimTheFish

But despite that, the plot which contained them was a little too illogical, a little too unrestrained (though this is the Master we’re talking about so why should I be surprised?)

Not sure I buy […]

@JimTheFish    I enjoyed reading your summary of Twelve and his character. I will admit that he had me from the moment he came bursting out the TARDIS, exuding confusion and madness. Everything that came after […]

@jimthefish – wow. Fantastic summary and making me want a rainy day i can re-watch the series in one go!
Agree with most of what you’ve said (based on memory of seeing them once).

I don’t have time to express […]

@apopheniac @jimthefish @phaseshift @craig

re the offending term – I hadn’t come across it till I heard it in connection with RTD, when it conjured up images of Emperor Ming and his followers (cheap scifi, […]

@apopheniac @jimthefish @phaseshift

Like @juniperfish, I think this was one of RTD’s misses. I know it was probably just a derivation of ding-dong with maybe a bit of Morlock thrown in, which he definitely […]

Hello @JimTheFish

The word ‘mong’ has been in the vernacular here in the UK far longer than that execrable Ricky Gervais ‘sitcom’.  He merely publicised it, on the back of his success with The Office and […]

@JimTheFish Maybe we will end up with Clara and Orson as regular travellers in the Tardis. Orson seemed like a good candidate for a Companion. (Much better than Danny who was carrying rather too much emotional […]

@ScaryB I agree wholeheartedly that an encounter between Missy and River would be delicious

@JimtheFish Yes, I like your suggestion this season was a long slow regeneration crisis. I think it’s bigger than the […]

Hello @janetteB

Sorry, I got home from work last night feeling like @Arbutus‘s ROUSs had trampled me.  @JimTheFish, ‘ming-mong’ struck a nerve because I work in the mental health sector and phrases like that […]

@JimTheFish

Excellent stuff as usual Mr. Fish. I’ll put some thoughts into a long response later today. Overall, I was pleased with a couple of minor reservations which I’ll expand on.

I just thought I’d […]

@Apopheniac  I think that @JimTheFish is using the term Ming Mongs not to refer to all those who have opinions that are contrary to his but to those whose weekly abuse of the show does not rise to the status of […]

@Arbutus Me too! (well more like a week away rather than hours) but what a lovely blog to come back to. I’m going to be really boring and agree with most of what Mr @JimtheFish has said, especially about this […]

@JimTheFish thank you for another excellent blog. I too agree with most of your points but am with @purofilion re’ the finale which I too thought was great. The cybermen themselves are not “scary” and never really […]

@JimTheFish   Wow! Just in from three hours of running around in the rain, and lo! A whole new blog for my reading pleasure. There’s far too much here for me to make much response without a careful second reading, […]

@JimTheFish Just to add that I’ve always thought it a shame that we’ve never seen a multiple Master story, the way we’ve several multi-Doctor ones. Obviously it’s never really been possible although maybe it’s […]

@JimtheFish @ScaryB

Thanks for the compliments over the graphic. I think I cocked up Delgado, which is a bit unfortunate, but I may revisit. I’d actually like to post some clips if possible highlighting certain […]
