DISCUSSION ABOUT CLASS - SPOILERS...

<waves at @Whisht in return>

Yes, I haven’t forgotten the Who Forum and all you good folks on here – life has just been busy, and there has been no new Who to get our teeth into!

I’m pleased they’ve launched Class, however. We’ll see how it unfolds.

Thanks for the article link about the 50 years since regeneration 1 – I saw that on the Grauniad…[Read more]

Hi everyone <waves>

Russell T. Davies’ version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is on BBC1 at 20.30 this evening.

Bernard Cribbins (Donna’s Grandad) is in it, amongst many others.

Worth a watch!?

Here’s a clip of Oberon, Titania and the faeries:

Hi folks,

@miapatrick and @janetteb – I haven’t visited the Guardian yet.

I think the publication of their research on BTL comments was really interesting (if both unsurprising and depressing in its findings). How they go about changing the culture there is another matter (especially as it’s bedded in now). It won’t simply be a question of more…[Read more]

@todeledo – quite – we are inside Sherlock’s head for most of the episode and as the doctor of Vienna, Freud himself, is actually mentioned (by Sherlock, during the awkward “impulses” talk) we are invited to use Freud’s methods to analyse the drugged dream-state of Sherlock’s Mind Palace (those methods can be found in his Interpretation of…[Read more]

I thought people here might enjoy this rather brilliant post on why rather than simply contemporary drug addled Sherlock’s Victorian Mind Palace mashup, we may have seen two alternate universe time-streams brought together by a freak atmospheric weather storm.

Maths analysis and a Minkowski matrix…[Read more]

Well the internet is exploding nicely 🙂 Tumblr loves it, BTL Graun is confused and angry…

Looking forward to a re-watch.

Happy New Year everyone!

I loved it too – a rewatch definitely in order.

Turns out not only does the Doctor lie, but Sherlock lies too.

Mycroft deduced that Sherlock was already high when he said goodbye to John on the tarmac at the end of His Last Vow. He didn’t neck a bunch of drugs to solve Moriarty’s return in his Victorian AU Mind Palace.…[Read more]

@JimtheFish Why thank you kind Fish. And you, with yet another “in universe” mention and all!  🙂

@pedant and @Puroandson (Puro half)

Just catching up here… I will have to be (relatively) brief as a) I have a deadline and b) I am sure everyone else on site is starting to roll the whites of their eyes re said topic.

I think you are mis-ch…[Read more]

Oh and just had to drop back in quickly to say I enjoyed the tribute to The Importance of Being Earnest” !

The “handbag” (containing the head) and River’s Oscar Wilde quote about her diary, “you should always have something sensational to read on the train a spaceship.”

Happy Boxing Day everyone, on several continents!

Well, I knew Capaldi and Kingston would be great together, and they didn’t disappoint, both on comedic and romantic levels – what a whirlwind.

Moffat has made rather a speciality of writing long love speeches (I’m thinking of Sherlock’s wedding speech in The Power of Three) and River’s long rant…[Read more]

@Pedant

It doesn’t matter whether you like or dislike Avatar and/ or post-modern architecture. Taste is not the issue.

I picked Avatar simply because it’s an interesting example of a text with global reach and multiple public receptions (not quite sure why you think acknowledging those multiple receptions is “patronising”).

You write that “……[Read more]

@Puroandson

Yes but you’re saying -quite openly -that if people disagree wholeheartedly with the narrative of post structuralism and lit crit then it’s a “populist hack contempt based on a superficial understanding”

Puro, not at all – I also write in my post #49484 “there are intelligent critiques of post-structuralism”. I was specificall…[Read more]
