@trudawg Hello 🙂

Well the thread is @Whisht ‘s baby so he’ll probably give you his take 🙂

I think of it as virtual decks/ music lounge where you can hang out with other people who are in the mood and […]

@Phaseshift Yes, I can see why you don’t want to put the prequel in the spoilers thread.

Maybe it should get it’s own thread, so those who don’t see it as a spoiler can discuss it and those who do can avoid […]

@Craig I like that – a Cyber-Dalek war in the Doctor’s head, one designed to neutralise the other! Wow that really is a very nasty case of the space-flu 🙂

@Bluesqueakpip and @Shazzbot re the pawn becoming a Queen on the chess board….

Indeed and, as I mentioned in an earlier episode thread, this is precisely what happens to Alice in Through the Looking Glass […]

@Wolfweed  Good spot on the puppet from the God Complex ! I can’t shake the fact that that’s a key episode (given recurrent minotaur references (ball of string and maze) and the cloister bell, as well as the also […]

Just nipping in to do a dance of dark Doctor joy. Gods Smithy’s just great at the tripping the dark fantastic isn’t he?

Mr. Clever was indeed a rubblish title, even worse than the King of OK 🙂 But the […]

@EveryoneNew Gosh – so many new sign-ups!  How marvellous.

Welcome, welcome, have a jelly-baby why don’t you.

See you all here and on Dan’s blog on The Guardian after Nightmare in Silver. We generally hop […]

Well cripes and crepes – so much to catch up on after only a couple of days away!

@Confuseus I thought for a while River Song might be the Twelfth, despite the crossing timelines, and I think she would have […]

Whoa! Everyone’s on fire today! Just skimmed, cuz am working but “excellent bottom” all (to quote the good Captain Jack) – so many lovely layers and levels.

@ardaraith – that prequel is very interesting – […]

@HTPBDET

 I think it’s time for another bet with you. I don’t think Moffat will tie up those issues you mentioned – I suspect they will be utterly ignored. And I don’t think the Doctor will be walking back in his […]

@HaveYouFedtheFish Hahaha 🙂 Dark Doctor was awesome and so was the rainbow power of love magic…

@WhoHar “The Boss” made me think of “The Master”. Now I think about it, one of the lines in the song “To Be a Pilgrim” which Mrs. Gillflower sings as she launches the rocket is:

“Let him in constancy, follow […]

@Feralcat Oooh that’s such a good catch on the GK Chesterton reference and definitely the kind of period fiction detail I would expect from Gatiss.

It’s a long time since I read that novel, but it is about a […]

@ScaryB – re anachronisms – hmmmnnnn <borrows @Chickenelly‘s pipe>

Yes, time is being subtley altered? Or, we’re in a “through the looking glass” universe sometimes. I’m going to keep coming back to that quote […]

@shazzbot I think Dan was just playfully teasing us – if he didn’t love us, he wouldn’t have linked us!  Love ya too Dan!

@JimtheFish It’s still a fun space over there I think. I really enjoyed the Anthony […]

@ardaraith

I’m replying to your post in JttCotT here because it was about this episode…

Honestly I don’t know why the Doc is so frisky with Clara one minute and so grandpaternal with her the next. I […]

@confuseus Welcome! Most of us watch the episodes a second time for fun clue-hunting here too.

I like your thought that Clara is a trap but an innocent trap.

I’ve thought for a long time that the Doctor’s […]

@Timeloop Hello there – there are no “rules”, as such, about our interaction with Dan’s blog on The Guardian. 

This wonderful space was set up by our marvellous webmaster @Craig when Dan’s blog on the Snowman […]

@Shazzbot – Yes you’re right – the first picture was ordinary Doctor, the second was “red Doctor”. Huzzah for more doppleganger Doctors!

@Bluesqueakpip – oh nice on the out-of-time song references. I don’t know […]

@HolyMackerel

Re the Doctor and his flirt-fest. He did seem to have taken his happy pills this week.

Maybe the writers are having a laugh about the two versions of the Doctor running around fandom – asexual […]
