OK, OK… you’ve all convinced me that Osgood probably ( 😉 ) isn’t Kate’s daughter (dammit – another good theory bites the dust!)

@Juniperfish

I am a firm believer that the creation/ the text is greater than the creator

I agree with that.  This whole site is based on it, haha!

I also agree that the 2 timestreams ex…[Read more]

@Juniperfish

For what other reason does the Billie Piper conscience of The Moment ensure Hurt to Eleven do not remember the Clara intervention?

That was nothing to do with The Moment. The time lines were out of sync, War and Ten couldn’t retain the new information when they returned to their proper place in the order (as explained by Ten who was…[Read more]

@Juniperfish – he was simplifying stuff. That there are two time streams is in the text – the Tennant Doctor, when they’re trying to persuade The General says:

The Smith Doctor: Because the alternative is burning.
The Tennant Doctor: And I’ve seen that.
The Smith Doctor: And I never want to see it again.

The Doctor would never do that. But the…[Read more]

@Juniperfish !!!!!!! I just found this and see my theory fully intact. So happy right now.

“So that was the story – of course he never did that, he couldn’t. He’s the Doctor – he’s the man who doesn’t do that. He’s defined by the fact that he doesn’t do that, whatever the cost, he will find another way. So it had to be the story of what rea…

Where are you @Juniperfish ? Caught in RL? Looking forward to your answer!

@Wolfweed @Shazzbot

@JuniperFish and I were at the convention on Saturday and we both spotted her at the same time and shouted “Look, it’s Linda Lee!” So then her Dad asked if we’d do an interview. Me, being true to my mostly lurker status said to JuniperFish “You can do it”. So JuniperFish sat on the floor and was interviewed by Linda Lee.

She…[Read more]

@Shazzbot – Pray do tell us about @Juniperfish & Lindalee…….

@Juniperfish

Okay I watched it. And I have to agree with you. Looks like the two stream facility idea I settled for earlier. Gallifrey looks so different. Definitely after the time lock (and supposedly burning). So maybe in the version we have seen this weekend the Timelords have not yet decided that they will end time itself.

But that would…[Read more]

Lot’s of good stuff to read here (@pedant, @timeloop, @wolfweed, @scaryb)

OK, Deep breath, here are my somewhat organised ramblings. I’ve tried to mention the people who sparked of my thoughts. Sorry if I missed anyone.

Numbering: @Hudsey, thanks for the info direct from Moffatt regarding the numbers. I was already getting confused before this…[Read more]

@Craig

There was even a classically style one right at the beginning. Seriously: people who try to lecture Moffat about the rules of story telling are on very sticky wickets (not least because the point of learning the rules is so that you can break them with impunity).

@Juniperfish

Moffat’s entire tenure is about time and what can and cannot be…

@Pedant

I seem to recall saying to @JuniperFish shortly after watching that there were at least 13 Deus Ex Machina (what’s the plural) in this. I thought there would be complaints too. Go figure?

@Juniperfish I will have to re-watch this two-parter sometime soon before I can form an opinion and if the pictures of Gallifrey suggest a different past. I would like to give an informed answer.

Do you really feel it would take away the depth? He would be dealing with the same issue. The only thing he would have is a lucky escape. It is no…[Read more]

You can always find something you don’t like when you stubbornly keep looking for it. It saddens me that so many in the interwebs feel entitled to so much ARSE. Telling them what they should have done. Moffat has packed so much in this one episode. I was afraid there would not be enough time to get through it all in time but he managed it…[Read more]

@Juniperfish

s. However, it was a baggy old, saggy old beast of a script, which rather reflects the totality of Who thus far.

There was one moment when it flagged a bit for me. Then Billie turned up and all was well.

Given more time, it would indeed have been great to consider in-depth serious peace negotiations between humans and Zygons.

No. The…[Read more]

@Juniperfish

Yes – I managed the cocktails for Doctors 5 – 11 in the end, I was nursing “11” during the movie and did feel a bit whoozy. I was convinced I had broken this part of the internet when trying to set up this topic on the homepage. I’ve been informed that it was nothing to do with me, and our countdown timer acted up when it reached…[Read more]

@Juniperfish – great review!! I think some on here should be writing the public reviews!  Have you read the drivel out there?

An important update to your excellent ideas.  You say, “The High Council in the “Day of the Doctor” seemed more bewildered than intent on becoming non-corporeal entities. This made Hurt Doctor’s choice grittier of c…[Read more]

On a re-watch I must admit it is not the idea of the two streams facility. This event is time locked. Up until 11 the Doctor only thinks he has done it which brings along his change. In no reality did he ‘burn’ Gallifrey.

@Juniperfish “The end of time” still makes sense. But instead of trying to escape the time lock they look for a way out of the…[Read more]

I watched on TV as there isn’t a cinema for 60 miles where I live, but it was just amazing.  Visually, the scenes with the paintings worked so well in that it looked 3D and you could see the depth in the painting even on a flatscreen.  I shall be watching again later when time permits!

I’m with @Timeloop and @Juniperfish – really like your a…[Read more]

@Craig @Juniperfish @Bluesqueakpip – a joy and a delight to hang out with you at the Doclands party, complete with its own TARDIS console, twin Troughtons and zygons.

Thans everyone who came to the pub last night, another special night.

Special mention to @Bluesqueakpip for calling it’d be about saving the children of Gallifrey; @Craig (and…[Read more]
