Oh my what an influx of posts o/n @juniperfish I too wondered what this means for Gallifrey though so far the only ones we know were resurrected we the ones dusted by Sutekh’s dust so presumably those that were dead prior stay dead. Right now to look back at the posts I missed

@juniperfish and @bunface you both referenced the Spoon.

@bunface & @juniperfish yes, I’m thinking which is it?
If it’s collective wishes emerging from Wild Blue Yonder then why did the Doctor narrate a completely different reason for the return of life itself? That  “ memory is life ?”

@classicsrule1

A pedantic friend said that RTD “has the gift of conciseness.”  In rewatching  Before Gap or classic…[Read more]

Brilliant posts people!

With the wishes at the end of the universe as @juniperfish elucidated, is it possible this applies to “death to death = life” @bunface you wrote of “2 wrongs don’t make a right.” And @blenkinsopthebrave yes, it seems “stupid” unless it IS connected to the wishes?
But if that’s so, then wouldn’t the Doctor need to wor…[Read more]

@juniperfish

Totally agree that it all may have worked better if it had multiple episodes to develop, as in the early days of Who. On the other hand, perhaps he did have multiple episodes, but chose to prioritize other issues in those episodes. Stuff like the snow, Ruby’s relationship to music, etc , were left strangely unfilfilled.

Love the…[Read more]

I think the spoon is a reference to the Fourth Doctor’s quote from The Creature from the Pit:

@juniperfish

Also to Robot of Sherwood?

@juniperfish

Why could Ruby physically make it snow through the power of memory?

Why were her memories able to physically manifest a “Memory TARDIS” (with the help of the Time Window and then the Memory TARDIS’s own memories of herself)? It was a bit of a “death trap” as the Doctor said, sure, but it could actually fly?

I thought the Doctor sa…[Read more]

I’ve been musing on that question of infection/possession – who was channeling a supernatural entity, at what point did that entity gain access, and to what degree were the people affected aware before the point at which the full manifestation of Sutekh himself was about to break through? The identity of these entities, other than Sutekh himself,…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave of course, Molsdorf is her new nickname now.  😊

the theory of @juniperfish that Ruby is Horus deposited by Isis… is a very good one (apologies if Son & I mixed up our gods!) & those who paused on Ruby’s mum’s chin to be certain enough she’s human or human -looking, helps too. Admittedly, when I originally saw the first ep…[Read more]

@Mudlark

Thank you so much for clearing up my muddled time-addled little brain! I’d forgotten it was a Time Window they were looking at. (Funnily enough I’ve been mis-reading Sunak for Sutekh a few times! 😛  )

@Juniperfish – sorry, not worked out the music for that scene yet, need another look/listen

@juniperfish

Not the first thing to disappear this series… I blame the Pantheon!

(Which would be really spooky!)

The jukebox from The End of the World (second NuWho episode where the Doctor takes Rose to Platform One to see the end of Earth):

Same! Good work @juniperfish. The end of the world (which world??!) is nigh! Again…

@juniperfish  was a blank post intentional

@thane16

The head of the astronaut in Wild Blue Yonder looked somewhat equine to me, and I’ve seen enough excavated horse skeletons to know. So I don’t think we can pursue a hawk/Horus connection that far. But, just to confuse matters, in some Egyptian depictions of Set/Seth/Sutekh, the muzzle of the jackal has a distinctly raptor-beak like…[Read more]

@juniperfish

Thank you for having registered the list of the deities listed in the pantheon – and forgive me if I’m harking back to earlier points of discussion, but after staying up last night long past my bedtime I’ve spent all day playing catch up.

In ancient Egyptian art Sutekh is depicted as a man with the head of a jackal – the head of a…[Read more]

@pufferfish @juniperfish and Roam is from the B52s album Cosmic Thing… (also containing the brilliant Love Shack).

@juniperfish the song is Roam by the B-52s.

The lyrics should tempt anyone looking for bonkersness:
<div class=”ujudUb”>I hear a wind<br aria-hidden=”true” />Whistling air<br aria-hidden=”true” />Whispering<br aria-hidden=”true” />In my ear</div>
<div class=”ujudUb”>Boy Mercury shooting through every degree<br aria-hidden=”true” />Oh girl dancing…[Read more]

It’s interesting re-reading comments on 73 yards — @wolvesarerunning “everyone who meets Spooky Ruby manifests that original loss” is most interesting considering the recent episode.

@juniperfish also “when the Doctor has to restore the timeline …Ruby will have to vanish like the changeling she is- back into faerieland.”

Now, considering t…[Read more]

Maybe the Doctor has a circular rather than a linear relationship to time, and at some point a future incarnation of his regenerates into the Hartnell Doctor and the cycle goes round again.

@juniperfish

Well, I think if RTD hasn’t thought of that, he jolly well should.

Only it’s a bit like a sourdough starter, where it’s essentially the same…[Read more]

@juniperfish

Agree with blenkinsop, a cracking post! 💫Totally won over by your good/bad divergence theory. Everything has been doubled, tripled multiplied… It has to be.

Incidentally, it’s Ruby who walks back into the room immediately after Kate’s line “A chrysalis doesn’t know it’s a butterfly. A phoenix is just a bird until it burns” an…[Read more]
