@Spider That’s a beautiful story! There’s magic in it just like in Doctor Who.
Thanks for sharing! 🙂

@DrBen Although I found this episode in some sense a bit unsatisfying still
I see Mathieson can write good stories that cross over to very different places extremely well.

I also wondered about Ashildr’s youth. She is at least not as young child as in the “Interview”
movie. She seems to me about the age of Clara when she met…[Read more]

So is it ‘run you clever boy and remember me’ as in never forget what you did to me
so it wont happen to anyone one else?

@denvaldron Deepest condolences

Have we all noticed how the Doctor has been somewhat reckless? In Witch’s Familiar he uses a
lot of regeneration energy up in the Davros trap and I think he knew that was coming. Now he
is bringing back the dead. This is something I expect to see from Missy. In before
gap Who maybe I’m wrong but it seems the Doctor would often ask himself if he…[Read more]

@purofilion About your ‘a dr’ idea – have you read this?

good catch puro!

@221Badwolf
I felt that when Ashildr was telling the Doctor about always being different
it struck a cord in him. As a very young Doctor he may have been approximately
the same age when he had those same feelings. Therefore when she died that might
of been in his mind and so hit him particularly hard. That might to be in part
why she was…[Read more]

@ozitenor 3 helmets dropped down? Good grief Charlie Brown! You really do have to watch
this a frame at a time! I think that last thing he said in the Tardis about the hybrid
started out about Ashildr and ended up as a possible revelation about Clara. I’m not sure
they are the same but there could be some connection.

Thanks for the sonic…[Read more]

@nerys Thanks. Just re-watched and saw that they captured 2 helmets in the magnet trap.
@purofilion When the Doctor said “if anybody had a problem with that…” I was
thinking he may of meant the Time Lords?

Just realizing that I seem to have also missed what happened to the broken sonic sunglasses.
Did the Doctor get those back?

Wasn’t the Dalek nano tech in Clara sort doing the same thing as the chip inside Ashildr?
I believe Missy said something like that to Clara when she was installing her in the Dalek.
Maybe this is why the Doctor doesn’t give another chip to Clara? So this is definitely
a ‘thing” happening twice within a few episodes.
Ashildr said she made all…[Read more]

@Ichabod That’s interesting about the chips to me because like you say he
might have a few more? So why not share a chip with Clara? Maybe because she is
already a different form of immortal?
Liked very much the yo-yo. Thought of Tom Doctor having a yo-yo. It seemed he
always had lovely things in his pockets like the yo-yo and the jelly…[Read more]

The fact that Ashildr had no mother was a detail that stuck with me. Sort of like Clara also.
I wonder in my bonkersdom can they be half sisters sharing a timey whimey mother? Is that
why Ashildr says she is ‘weird’? Both girls are dreamers. Clara had her book of dreams about
places and Ashildr has her puppets that took her to places since she…[Read more]

@plainolddave Math (US) and/vs maths (UK) – 2 of my favs 🙂

My question is how did there come to be only 2 chips? There were a lot of mire. I have
to re watch but it seems to me that there could have been more then 2 that the Doctor could
have taken. I think I’m missing something.

This episode seemed odd to me. I guess I was expecting something different from the guy
that gave us Mummy and Flatline. Jenna seemed like she had very flushed cheeks? I read
that someone else thought her voice sounded rough. If she was ill then her performance
didn’t show that. Also, as far as the Mire go they were not as threatening as they…[Read more]

@Ichabod Great deduction! But the Doctor always suspends TL rules.
I think that might be because he thinks that the TL way of *seeing* has more dangerous
consequences? Isn’t that why every episode is about some sort of intervention?
Always saving people and other aliens?

@pedant Yes – She is of this world the same Clara but recurring thru time. You said it better!

@Purfilion Don’t forget that in the “End of Time” It was admitted by Rasillon
that he implanted the sound of the drums into the Master and I think it was implied that
it happened when the Master looked into the “bleble”. So I’m not entirely sure that all
of the potential TL kids would go mad looking into said bleble. Might ask Pip or…[Read more]

@Purofilion Sorry about the coffee — oops! Strangely for me its Cruise that I have
some peculiar issues with. I’m always thinking that some other actor could probably be
pulling off his parts better then he does.

@Serahni I think we will getting some details in the later episodes of this series. Very exiting!

@Purofilion I think of the Claricles simply as parallels of Clara. Basically the same person.
