@phaseshift Yes, you gave me another reason to rewatch the episode. I really loved the ‘Rings of Akatan’ from the first watch, and was shocked that other people didn’t enjoy it.  I begged people to give the episode a second watch and look for the layers, artful moments and beauty of it.  So, in light of that, I will go watch it now with a very open mind.

@bluesqueakpip Yes, I agree, I love that Doctor Who takes risks.  In all artistic endeavours, actually in ALL endeavours, it is best if we are given permission from others (and ourselves) to fail.  It was a courageous attempt and may possess some of the bones to build an awesome story arc, like @miapatrick ‘s great idea.  🙂

@purofilion Your review of ‘Sleep no More’ is so eloquently expressed, and thought provoking that I will certainly give this episode real attention and not throw it into the part of the mind I threw ’42’ which I never bothered to rewatch.

Even on the first watch I think there was a very interesting theme expressed at the core of this episode,…[Read more]

@janetteb YES!  Agree, I love the serious episodes and the fact that Doctor Who is not afraid to dive into the hardest questions, be rich in complexity and deliver a speech like in last week’s episode, but this ‘Sleep no More’ really was placed in the wrong spot in the season.  This season is epic and fantastic, but we have not had a fun and w…[Read more]

@erebos Okay, I tend to glaze over streams of colourful metaphors, so can you give some examples of what it is about this episode that has you so impassioned?   It started out a little predictable, but I felt it ended strong, and the speech had me in tears.  What are your reasons, in the form of examples as opposed to a stream of cussing, for d…[Read more]

Choreographing some Doctor Who dances for spring.  Will keep you all posted on how it goes.  🙂

@janetteb Also glad to hear you liked it.  I’m definitely going to give it another chance.

I agree that this was a stand alone and the theme of Clara taking other forms must be preparing us for the big finale.

@purofilion So glad you liked this episode because it makes me consider giving it another chance.  I’m going to watch it again tonight when my house is finally quiet.

@sirclockface Good to know you liked this episode, and also surprised you didn’t like ‘Robots of Sherwood’.   Goes to show that Doctor Who has something for everyone. 🙂   One of the great things about Doctor Who is that it is so diverse that it appeals to so many.    I loved ‘Robots of Sherwood’, and ‘Sleep no More’ I found boring.  That’s good…[Read more]

@alexwho @catladymeow @drben Exactly how I feel which is hard, because I was really looking forward to a good sit down with my favourite show.  This episode was beyond laboured, it was seriously my least favorite episode, well almost, ’42’ left me disappointed too.

@lisa @purofilion good sleuthing! Yes, I agree, the themes are strong and…[Read more]

Just watched it, haven’t read the other posts yet.

Well, I’m sure everyone caught all the names in the beginning in typing across the screen

Goes with all of our “Clara in a dream state theories” and may be a hint to the long month.

I don’t like to be negative, but I would be lying if I said this episode wasn’t the slowest episode of Doctor Who…[Read more]

I could just picture people on this Forum serving the dish at a Who Party:

Is the ______ the recipe or is it the ______?

If you use the same batter you poured into the Charlotte mold into ramekins, what do you call the ramekin version  a “Cake”icle?

Sorry, I do apologise, I’m squirrelly this morning.  😉

Please humour me fellow Forum members waiting for tonight’s episode.

I just love that the Charlotte mold used to make soufflés in was referred to as “Fez-shaped” in several of my cook books.   That was a particular laugh for me.

For fun:  I think we should officially add another treat to Whovians parties, plus add another fun name to the co…[Read more]
