Wow!  I’m inspired!  I shall  market it on Etsy and at  Comic Cons   🙂

@MissRori

Missy in possession of  the Doctors confession dial was  ultimately a Rassilon setup wasn’t it?

Could this be some part of the long story where she cuts another deal with him?

She delivers the Doctor to him and gets some new regenerations?  I know Missy

is a gaslighting  Queen  but I’m mulling over if she can get around the Docto…[Read more]

Yes-  I used to know that before I forgot it  🙁    Thanks Nick

So maybe here we go again?

I read in Tardiswiki and interesting little factoid about the 10th Doctor and the 3rd.   Apparently

the 3rd was drawn into the same time period as the 10th as he was going thru his regeneration.

In a book called “The Christmas Inversi…[Read more]

@Blenkinsopthebrave

Can 1 Time lord steal another Time lords regenerations?  Does Missy have the ability to ‘feel’

this is  as you say that  the Doctor  is ‘in embryo’ ?  If she is in her last  regeneration but

knows the Doctor has many going forward it might be her intention to ‘steal’  some of his

regeneration energy when the time arises…[Read more]

– Well I think this 1 was really good.  One of my favorites coming out of Gatiss since the “Unquiet Dead’

which I have always liked very much.    Loved the Victorian space suits and this Ice Warriors design

especially the Empress and her ‘hair’.     More referring to the Doctors health again.

@optimall  yes!!

Was it Nardole that decided…[Read more]

Very interesting take on Brexit.   Do you know about the EU/USA banana wars?

That went on a very long time but it was interesting cause in the end the multinationals

won a ruling against the EU for basically trade obstruction/protectionism..  My take

away about the whole Brexit kerfuffle is that trade would still continue to kee…[Read more]

I’m relatively familiar with British politics because  I lived there for a few years albeit

26 years ago.  I get most of the basics of the system.

DUP is something akin to evangelicals here to my mind or at least something

ultra conservative.  Not good in the 21st century.

But who in the Tory party can replace May?  Yes –  I’d be…[Read more]

@Nick

I texted my bff over there in the East Midlands both last night and this morning.

She cant stand May.   She’s always complaining about her and I complain back about

‘orange cheeto’.  She was hugely pissed off when May called the election.  Her reason was

that she felt May just opened up an opportunity for the  ‘revenge of the remaine…[Read more]

@tardigrade

LOL!! Yeah,  they got these new things I call grannie pull ups – but that would be like

a super violation on a hip chick like Missy don’t ya think?   Um,  I dunno

Clearly this is far  too extreme bonkering  🙁

Update.   I previously suggested that Missy should get a TV in the “vault”. Just  seemed like a

rational idea.   Well   I had another very close look  behind  the piano there seems to be a  TV!

It has a blank dark screen in a mid-century modern white cabinet!

.   Thought I would share my joy over this happy discovery!

@nerys

Well with respect to the way that  the Doctor has always been avoiding his own kind even when he

was very young by hiding out in the Cloisters on Galifrey  just indicates to me that he’s

never missed them really all that much.  No doubt he missed a few individually.  Including Missy!

I think he’s only lonely for the companions that he…[Read more]

@Constance

Totally agree with you about testing Bill and also that something seems a bit ‘off’ with the Doctor.

That’s what I was getting at when I  posted earlier about the Doctor calling out to the  ‘appalling

hair girl’ !   Really?  Just doesn’t seem a Doctor-ish  thing to say and in fact  even maybe a bit Missy-ishy ?

I tell which bit it i…[Read more]

Just gave the episode a 2nd re watch and I’m still  not completely happy with how they brought

this episode to conclusion.  I guess after the first 2 episodes I anticipated something a bit  different.

Some one wrote ‘underwhelming’ on the thread for describing the ending -yes.

And I wanted more Missy !  Well,  that’s only because I  always th…[Read more]

There ere aspects of this episode that felt some what cop out-ish to me too.   In the end it didn’t

have a lot of power for me.   The resolution was too simple.

@Serahni      I get the same feeling about the Missy stuff as you.  Its the Missy stuff that potentially has

the real surprising   ‘Missy-direction  for me’.   When the Doctor calls ou…[Read more]

@thane15

Well I guess what has the most value to you is not what most engages me about the show.

Yes the show is full of wisdom and Bill has strengths and weaknesses.   I get that.

But what I really get  enthusiastic about is the  Doctor’s mythology and story arcs.

That’s what makes it awesome for me.  The plots, the journeys, the gags, the…[Read more]

(Puro)

Yeah some folks just seem to come off so conceited  when they post- Geesh!

Still I suppose every ones entitled to their own opinions aren’t they?

This I  completely agree with you  on  –

it  can be unacceptably rough world even for the  toughest of us  that live in it .
