Everything has an end, Clara, even bonkers theories*

Oh, you think??!

Just cos there’s a few less dangling ends than usual, you think we’re gonna stop now?!  @Juniperfish, @Bluesqueakpip and me are just getting started on the wealth of possibilities that is Tasha Lem, for starters 😉

(Feel free to join in!)

*We should maybe clear…[Read more]

Cheers everyone.

We are 1 – woo-who!

Couldn’t put it better than @Juniperfish (both red and blue fins, with extra sparkles 😉 ) and @Phaseshift have already said… except – maybe we should head for the pub (before Emperor @Craig gets grumpy about the spilled drinks all over the web!)

Thanks everyone, it’s been a great year. Coffee and alcohol…[Read more]

Phaseshift ‘s “watch with Master”

I so wish I’d thought of that. 😀 Hopefully though, I won’t be writing them all.

Really, guys, I was only away for three days. Whilst I was communing with my sister arbutus trees during the day, and enjoying lots of lovely pinot noir in the evening, you all were going crazy on here. I expect that it will take me until 2014 to get caught up.  🙂

@PhaseShift     The Doctor had previously stated in the Doctor 10 Cybermen two…[Read more]

@Juniperfish

That’s a lovely idea that Lem is a tribute to Stanislaw Lem. I really hope we see more of Tasha (big fan of Orla Brady). Created by the TimeLords, huh?  Interesting, but comes up against the same problem as my “she is a Time Lord” theory – if that’s the case then why couldn’t she call to the TLs thro the crack – her voice would…[Read more]

@Juniperfish – wow! intriguing idea.   Unrelated – I’ve been itching to revisit Soderbergh’s Solaris – I always loved how he managed to take the original film and make a completely unique, yet still intellectually and emotionally involving, reinterpretation.

Hey guys,

many things have been already said. that’s what happens if you take your time.

Let’s see if I can add some new aspects:

According to the last episode we saw the Doctor was absolutely bluffing in Nightmare in Silver. He could have not got rid of Mr. Clever. (Maybe that is what he kept hidden together with Hurt) with a…[Read more]

hah its very funny to watch you all trying your hardest to justife a very poor last two specials  , due to moffats lazy and unmotivated writting .

@juniperfish what a post about trenzelore !! oh i am afraid thats way way to deep to be presented in this way, we can say this is the case off course,but i really doubt moffat was thinking in that…[Read more]

I’m still trying to digest @juniperfish s analysis. Both brilliant and bonkers. I may have to come back to it!

@ScaryB. Maybe, like AG and BG we need to develop our own shorthand. Peter Capaldi could be Doctor 2.1. Second regeneration set, first iteration. (Hartnell was Doc 1.1, Troughton 1.2, etc with it all getting a bit messy at the end). Any…[Read more]

@Juniperfish @Bluesqueakpip

I am completely in awe of you both!

And delighted that the Egyptian myths, dual timestreams and rebirth into a new cycle theories have made it through.(I’m also delighted that we (haha – royal “we” is great) continue to more than live up to our collective strapline. And yet… both of you hook your theories so…[Read more]

@Juniperfish – I’ve just realised your ‘two Doctors’ theory was right all along.

Except, the ‘two Doctors’ are caused by the same kind of time-loop seen in The Big Bang, where we apparently have two Sonics (same sonic, but at two different points in its personal time-line).

Throughout Eleven’s run, there’ve been ‘two Doctors’. One: the…[Read more]

@Juniperfish and @JimTheFish

I’d say the Clara/Doctor schtick was an important part of the set-up for the Capaldi Doctor. Because it established that – yeah, Clara fancies him. The Doctor himself is not unwilling. But nothing has happened. He’s definitely – that phonecall establishes – not her boyfriend, they certainly haven’t slept together.…[Read more]

@Juniperfish

Hello! Irrespective of whether we get a dark doppelganger in the ep, can I ask if you will be gracing us with a final comprehensive look up guide to bow tie colours for Matt Smiths run after this episode? Such vital research must be discussed!

::stumbles in and flops on the sofa… traumatised, but still trailing sparkly space-glitter*::

2 days trapped in a time-bubble, with no internet, waiting for the nice man from Virgin to come and free me! Not to mention flickering lightbulbs and strange scurrying noises in the corner… Well, the last one may have been just my imagination… or…[Read more]

::sneaks back in to brush flecks of @Juniperfish‘s space-glitter off the sofa before @FatManInaBox notices (haha he’s probably too busy playing with John Barrowman 😉 ) ::

@FatManInABox @Juniperfish

As pretty as it was, all that glitter you were dropping just had to go

::stamps foot and looks hurt::

Wasn’t me! I’m a victim.  It was that bow tied doppelganger-obsessed fish… in the alternate timestream of  Sofa 3!  Not my fault it cascades out of my fur every time I mo…[Read more]

::waves @FatManinaBox and does a deep grovelling bow of congratulations at your new modshipness:: Nice one 🙂

Thanks to various re comments about living museums. The one at New Lanark (near Glasgow) is really good too.

@Purofilion Times were tougher back then, glad you seem to have survived it OK.  Kids are remarkably resilient, and tend to…[Read more]

Marvel Agents of Shield

It’s that age old conundrum for me – when do I give up on a series?

I’ve been bitten before – Firefly initially passed me by because I watched the first few at the wrong time really. My mind was on work and other things, and I ended up dismissing it. I only really got into it after seeing the Serenity film, and then bu…[Read more]
