Yes!  Exactly @juniperfish I think this is exactly what Moffat is doing.

@blenkinsopthebrave I don’t see the glasses as cool, I see them as another way to hide his face.  Also, I live in Silicon Valley, so it just seems like a incognito version of Google glass.

@lisa Cool deck.  🙂   The Doctor definitely is the Fool according to the stories concerning his journey.  The rest of the deck is mostly fun.  Missy as the High Priestess is actually a very intriguing concept.  Having studied the history and archetype since I was a child and being surrounded by the Arthurian writers my mother hung out with in m…[Read more]

I have a very lengthy, complicated and possibly crazy theory involving the origin of the tarot, the Greeks, Italy, Atlantis, Sabine, Karn, Egypt and the Doctor himself and his true name and it fits in rather neatly into it.  🙂

@juniperfish

Loved reading your write up about redemption!  Very insightful.

In the tarot there is a metaphoric journey of the Fool, which the Doctor refers to himself as.  The first card in the numbered deck is the Magician, the second card is the High Priestess.  The stories behind each card and where they are in the Fool’s journey co…[Read more]

@Mudlark I thought Missy was just expressing tough love?  😉  There are some schools of thought that being extremely tough physically and mentally on a student is a sign of love.  Ever observed a student of a Russian ballet teacher when that teacher sees promise in his student?  The teacher will torment the chosen one and be incredibly nice to…[Read more]

My IBM dad raised me on Doctor Who and my hippie mom on tarot, so there is a chance I’m completely reading into this and it’s complete rubbish.

Of course, years ago I was the first to mention my CAL theory on a forum and now I see it all over the net.  Maybe it is my job in the time loop to get another idea moving again; set the flame in my little hippie California town.  I raised by a hippie who looked like Romana 2, so naturally I would be the one to see the correlations.  I was li…[Read more]

I have checked every Who forum and article and no one has mentioned the tarot correlation?  It can’t be just me.

@braddy There is little doubt in my mind that Davros will go looking now

@bluesqueakpip @purofilion The only time I recall a Dalek asking for mercy was the Dalek in the Big Bang asking it of River.  It would be incredibly cruel to find out someone was in there that was important to the Doctor or River, including one of Clara’s fragments of…[Read more]

@doctorcapaldi I think the look was about when Missy/Master turned all the people he had been taking care of at the end of the universe into Toclafane, or the dead into Cybermen.  M/M is just like that.   Doctor know MM would do the same thing to the Time Lords given the chance.

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@bendubz11 Good point, really good point.   I would call it a bookstore where I am from, so I completely overlooked that, but I am Californian @purofilion so I would most likely say, “Dude, where’s the bookstore” or just say point me to a coffee shop, since most bookshops in SF are coffee shops.  😉    My dream was to work and live in Great Bri…[Read more]

Well, most likely they are dead and a catalyst for the Doctor going back to save them, or Missy, who clearly survived last time by using her vortex manipulator, used it again and Clara’s was a slave to hers so off they pop when and where the crazy Mary Poppins decides.  Of course, then Clara would have vanished when Missy did.  So, dead.

Wow!  Viewing down?  Their loss.  That was a jaw dropping episode.  Way to start a new season.  I feel like kid now waiting for the second half.

Sorry, I’m writing while on video chat.  What I was trying to say is that someone at the BBC has to apply to have a non-citizen come to work at the BBC.  That is hardly ever done.   So I gave up on the dream of living in Cardiff.

@purofilion Wow, @JimTheFish He is incredibly lucky.  I’m going to see the 3D recap and I’m over the moon.  I seriously feel like a kid, all giddy to see what Moffat has in waiting for us.

I’m guessing that @JimTheFish lives in England, which I’m also jealous of.  I tried to work at the BBC, but unless someone there applies for a work visa, a no…[Read more]

Ha ha! @purofilion Yes, my theories that the whole point is that The Doctor needs to “save someone” from Gallifrey.

@purofilion He he!  You were probably the first to know!  🙂   I feel like a kid counting down to Christmas.  I am so excited!  🙂

And it’s 2:38 in the morning here, so sorry this is vague and childish, buuutttt…Moffat rocks.  End of story.  Good night.  🙂
