    Oh joy of joys, another admirer of Mark Gatiss! How d’ye’do.
    Isn’t he a wonder.
    Interesting thought, aobut him taking over from Steven Moffat. I’d think that he’d almost certsinly write at least one episode for series TEN.
    He will of course be co-writing Sherlock with Steven Moffat.

    i also loved Dark Water but was not to impressed with Death In Heaven (Michelle Gomez was superb though) as for the finale I’m not going to give anything a way but for me personally it was a game of two halves!

  • ichabod replied to the topic The Woman Who Lived

    @kbranagh  Oh, I agree — inspiration works both ways.  The writers do things like the monologues because Capaldi’s delivery is mesmerizing, and Capaldi takes bits of what the writers provide and runs with them because he can — like turning “I don’t think I’m a hugging person now” into a whole visual vocabulary of communication with Clara by t…[Read more]

    @kbranagh  Well, he’s sure been impressive in my books; I’d like a couple more years of his Doctor, assuming he enjoys working with Chibnall and the next companion, and his character as written still gives him plenty to that’s interesting and challenging to do.  Good example of “Be careful what you wish for” — every fulfilled wish has its down s…[Read more]

    @kbranagh    I agree about Clara. She is a good companion for this Doctor.

    While I have enjoyed the maturity of the CapDoc series , I also loved the playfulness of the 11th ,the flirtiness of 10 and the shell shocked 9th. So I am ready for whatever happens in the future and I know I will like it.

  • winston replied to the topic The Woman Who Lived

    @ichabod  @kbranagh   I agree that CapDoc is very over protective of Clara in this series. I think he also sees that her loss of Danny has made her vulnerable and reckless to the extreme and he feels the need to protect her from herself. Even if she doesn’t want his help or protection.

  • ichabod replied to the topic The Woman Who Lived

    @kbranagh    the doctor is so over protecttive with her this year! I don’t remember Smith acted like this with Amy.

    No.  I think this is new, and it’s kind of the point of the relationship as it develops: the basic problem of extreme disparity between a devoted pair (on whatever level[s] you choose to see that devotion).  He has found “some…[Read more]

    @Kbranagh  @puroandson

    I don’t think that the Doctor who threw the screwdriver to the child Davros was an earlier incarnation. It is the same incarnation operating in a temporal loop.  The sequence as I read it is as follows:

    The Doctor, looking for a bookshop, accidentally ends up in a battlefield in the war on Skaro. Or maybe the Tardis, who d…[Read more]

    @Kbranagh

    I think is too convenient that not quote at least one or two of the 20 future companion.

    Not at all. If, for example, I should suddenly and mysteriously meet the Third Doctor travelling with Jo Grant, I’d know perfectly well not to mention Sarah-Jane, Tegan or Rory. I might ask after Liz Shaw, or Polly.

  • Miapatrick replied to the topic The Witch’s Familiar

    @kbranagh– Maybe Davros didn’t contradict the Doctor because at that moment he was working on the Doctor’s sense of guilt for his dastardly plan! If he realised that in the doctors timeline, he hasn’t yet gone back in time to save the little boy, he can manipulate him, and he doesn’t realise that it is after/because of the failure of his plan…[Read more]

    @doctordani @kbranagh
    <p style=”text-align: left;”>And what about a situation in which Davros kills the Doctor and he can’t save Davros in the past? Would it erase Davros from the history and prevent him from killing the Doctor (and many more)? I think in both cases Davros would survive because of the screwdriver.</p>

    @kbranagh Hi guys, i loved the episode but i have a question about the continuity that bother me.
    The mercy line, the doctor and boy-davros…all of this is always happen from the beginning right?
    So Davros should remember that the Doctor have save his life! But when the doctor said “i left you to die in that field” why Davros don’t tell anything…[Read more]
