….. he’s also dealing with the mega overload of information from the universe, that he needs to be able to select the relevant bits from to make the right pattern. (Much like dealing with the internet being wired straight into your head I’d imagine!)

I should really have made reference to this in my musings on the nature and size of the…[Read more]

@Juniperfish Hope you’re feeling much better

@Pedant

I am more attracted to the idea of pink and blue as representing choice, in a blue pill/ red pill way. Moff is all about the metaphor.

Interesting comment in the context of this episode where they chose to forget. There’s a lot of potential gaps here, where other things could have happened. I’m…[Read more]

Maybe I am just very easy to please, but so far I have enjoyed all the episodes this season, each in its own way and for different reasons, and this is no exception. I appreciated it even more on second viewing today since, although I grasped all the main points the first time, I was conscious that some details were slipping past me (I blame the…[Read more]

@Juniperfish

watch the episode for lighting, you will see that it switches  between red and blue at points –

Yes, I saw that in re-watch. I am now entirely convinced they are doing it just make sure you are awake.

I always think that the flaw in Schroedinger’s wee thought experiment is the idea that you could get a cat into that s…[Read more]

Two time streams? I find this absolutely baffling

There weren’t. After the events of Day of the Doctor War Doctor/ Nine genuinely believed that they had destroyed Gallifrey (this was made very clear at the National Gallery, when the three Docs were discussing before going their separate ways) and did not come to understand t…[Read more]

Oh I like the idea of Blue/Pink mirroring the two different time streams. So perhaps the one where he did destroy Gallifrey is Blue (Journey Blue was a soldier) and the one where he doesn’t is Pink (Danny Pink is an ex-soldier)? @Juniperfish, I think I too shall go back and watch all the eps again for more Blue/Pink clues!

Anyone else think of t…[Read more]

@handles Nice idea about the “monsters” being sideways or parallel to our universe. For some reason I keep remembering that the original title for season 7’s  Hide was apparently Hider in the House. Which also featured a pioneering and lost time-traveller. Who was a descendant of the people who found her. (Crosses fingers that @JanetteB might ge…[Read more]

Posting a whack of thoughts now even though I may well have to contradict or backtrack shortly, as I haven’t yet read all your thoughts. But I can’t read three whole pages of comments and still keep track of my own!

@Juniperfish   Yes, definitely “dad skills”, and believe me, as the mother of a boy who never did fall asleep easily, I was insta…[Read more]

@cathannabel

Haven’t worked out what I think yet about Rupert/Danny/Orson etc (and what about the Blue chappie from Into the Dalek? Does he/how does he fit in?).

I think it would be beyond awesome and funny if that was put in for no other reason that to yank @Juniperfish‘s chain.

@chickenelly Moffat got his budget cut? Reason?

@Juniperfish Hello you! Still not well? It’s about time you kick that thing in the b***.  Yeah, I’d also say it’s been ‘Dad skills’ -we also know what he did. He did it to himself in Deep Breath, remember?

@JimboMcMaster We will have to wait and see if he is still bothered by those questions. He…[Read more]

@juniperfish – I agree, her best performance so far. I like the new dynamic rather than flirting again.

@Juniperfish    (Sorry you’re still sick, that is nasty!)  On first watch, I actually paused and went back to try and spot the importance of what the Doctor was suddenly eating with that spoon. It kind of jumped out at me right away. Later I realized that it was only included there to set up the duel with Robin. (Which, silly though it was, I rea…[Read more]

The woman in the shop is Susan. I know this was suggested long ago but after a few wines and lots of gardening I am (for the moment anyway) convinced. Susan has an interest in connecting Clara to the Doctor, not sure why initially but it is also Susan who manipulated the education system to get Clara the job at Coal Hill. It has to be Susan…[Read more]

@Juniperfish

Glad to hear from you, but sorry you’re still not feeling better. Hopefully, as and when your swimmy head can cope with it, we’re keeping you entertained. I couldn’t believe we were having a conversation about red-ish and blue people and you weren’t around. IT DIDN’T SEEM RIGHT!

On missy, I was wondering about that Garden configura…[Read more]

@Juniperfish

Re – War Doctor/Healer Doctor + medical ship/army ship + 2 streams facility + good man/good dalek etc –

This is why we’ve missed you!! Hope you feel much better very soon. (What colour are your tablets btw – not red and blue by any chance…?!)

🙂

(And LMAO at Pink-icles!)

This Doctor knows he didn’t kill all the children on…[Read more]

@Cathannabel

Nice shout out on the “don’t breathe/don’t not breathe”

And @Wolfweed and @Chickenelly‘s “eyes” motif

Lots to watch out for, including the resurrection of @Juniperfish‘s red/blue strands (thanks @Phaseshift)… or maybe it’s Reservoir Doctors! (And seconding that wish that we see the finny one back here, fit and heartily bonkering,…[Read more]

Ooohh. Enjoyed it even more second time around. The miracle of sleep.

Hope @Juniperfish is feeling better, and immensely cheered that with Pink/Blue names she can continue her spectrum based musings.

I’m not willing to wager what Missy is yet, but I don’t think we can automatically assume that Ms Carlisle’s “harvesting” (if that’s a good word)…[Read more]

I agree with you @Serahni  I hope there is more to the impossible girl story.  I’m still in the Rose is connected to Clara camp. Clara’s mom died on the same day Rose “disappeared.”

I loved the way Twelve said Clara didn’t see him, when it was the opposite that Eleven didn’t see Clara when they met, just the other two verisons he knew of her.…[Read more]

@tardis-pilot    I think you will find it is your tone that people object to, not so much your opinion. On this forum, people deal with each other respectfully. Coming on and announcing that you found the forum by searching the internet for crap? That you signed up merely to tell us that it was crap? Not “here is what I thought about it” but “i…[Read more]

Whew. I took a few cups of coffee to get through the posts made since last night.  I have scribbled down a few comments so here goes

Firstly @PhaseShift, No need to apologise for being overly harsh. I applaud you for protecting this forum from the mindless barrage of hate posts that have afflicted the Guardian.

@Cath Annabel Welcome back and…[Read more]
