Favorite companion duos:

Sarah Jane Smith and 4th Doctor

11th and all of them, LOL, but it’s true, his personality seems to bring out the best in everyone.

12th and River

10th and Donna

@arbutus @thedentistofdavros @puroandson @ichobod When we were discussing Logolopolis on the music three it occurred to me I don’t have a very creative explanation for the Watcher.  I have a strange sort of unformed idea that it is a part of himself, but that seems almost too conventional.

What are the member’s of the Forum’s ideas and theories…[Read more]

@arbutus Couldn’t agree more.  Murray Gold elevates every emotion and in his own way is an incredible story teller.

@missy @puroandson The very thought of him leaving made me panic, I almost feel we shouldn’t even discuss such a horrid thought for fear that putting it in the universe could make it real.  Murray Gold’s music is the constant companion and elevates every episode.  It would be more heartbreaking to hear Murray Gold was leaving than any actor or w…[Read more]

@ichabod Quick recovery and good luck.  🙂

After watching the mini episodes involving Amy and Rory, The Power of Three and Dinosaurs on a Spaceship again I have decided that Chibnall gets it.  He learned from 42 and is capable of better things.  I should have given him more credit.  His characterisation is great and his storylines are fun.  It may even mean a return of the Ponds and som…[Read more]

@arbutus @thedentistofdavros @ichabod @puroandson Going back and watching the scene with the painting of Clara in Heaven Sent and then watching the scene in the courtyard in Logolopolis that switches back and forth to the White Watcher I would say both the courtyard itself in Heaven Sent and music in that moment are at least nods to Logolopolis a…[Read more]

@ichabod I am so enthralled with his music.  It always amazes me to see how people can transcribe music from a symphony to one instrument.  I’m not a musician, but I am always impressed by people who are.

The one small phrase when the Doctor looked at Clara’s picture sounded cut from old Who.  I also noticed the courtyard in the castle re…[Read more]

@arbutus @thedentistofdavros I was also blown away by the soundtrack in Heaven Sent; it was incredibly moving.  For the last few weeks I have been using it for choreography in my classes.

Watching a lot of classic Who you get used to the music and rhythm.  The music from classic Who has a contemplative and “sciency” sound that has a late 70…[Read more]

@arbutus @ichabod @puroandson @Whisht @pedant @thedentistofdavros

Was it just me, or was there a piece of classical Who music infused in Heaven Sent?

@janetteb  I had no idea Moffat was going to be a part of the spin-off series, what wonderful news.  (:

@missy Completely agree.

@puroandson and @doctordani  Yes, the actress would have to be incredible.

@pedant I didn’t believe the rumor, it was my annoyance that people are throwing out names, even silly names, almost all of them female, an…[Read more]

@arbutus I agree, I think the show has done best when they pick an unknown actor.  Matt Smith is a perfect example, HE WAS THE DOCTOR, and no one had even heard of him.  My wish for the show is that Peter Capaldi stays on for another four years at least.  The chemistry between Capaldi and River was brilliant,  I wish they could have a whole sea…[Read more]

@pedant couldn’t agree more!

@puroandson @doctordani and @janetteb YES!

This quote:

I suspect, though, that the Stupids have won and want all episodes to be like Blink or The Family of Blood. I loved them actually -Paul Cornell did a pretty good job in that Human Nature two parter. Mainly, though, the Doctor ran, cried, sobbed, snogged and…[Read more]

I remember when I used to look forward to Saturday night and now I will not enjoy that feeling for over a year.

I forgot “the” above so my tag didn’t work. @thedentistofdavros

@janetteb Great list.  🙂   Glad I am not the only one with Robots of Sherwood on my list.  I have also not seen Romans,  mostly because it’s hard to find classic Who on-line.

@dentistofdavros Good idea with the lists, gives all something to do while we wait a whole year for new episodes.  Great list, and I’m glad you listed the 5th Doct…[Read more]

@ichabod Good observations of emotion and tone, as usual.

I wonder though, on the day of his “death” the Doctor was watched over by an almost identical diner, it facilitated the meeting of the people who he trusts the most.  Maybe just watching over? Plus the Doctor is someone she risked her life to save in the Name of the Doctor, she went back…[Read more]

@missy Great list, so thorough!

@thedentistofdavros is right, Doctor Who is so unique and wonderful that each list is so different from each fan.  For example I really enjoyed The Rings of Akhatan and Hide

@arbutus I like your classic Who list, and I also noticed my list included a lot of Moffat, including my favourite episode, Heaven Sent.…[Read more]

It really is heartbreaking.  Like life, “we are all stories in the end” and being human it is always a loss when someone who knew us young and amazing is no longer available to remind us.  That in itself is a huge loss to the self.  Of course the most grievous part is the loss of her closest friend.  It must be a horrible temptation to stay in his…[Read more]

@pedant  I didn’t realise the two authors were so notable until I looked them up,.  Now that I know the authors’ history I am sure you are right.  On the other hand, after having a peer of equal talent proceed, one could almost expect a higher calibre of writers looking to take on the challenge.

@puroandson Yes, I could see why some old fans wo…[Read more]
