I completely forgot the 8th Doctor’s movie was set in San Francisco.  It would be all too easy to pick up the story here.  Unfortunately, I completely blocked out the 8th Doctor’s movie, mostly because it was terrible, and I was so excited to see it.  He was brilliant in the mini-episode and the audios and that’s why I think he deserves hi…[Read more]

@lisa I loved the Peaks District too and the Lakes of course and as for those roundabouts, grrr. It was the double ones and those that were only painted on the road that really got me. We have plenty of roundabouts here now but they are very standard, easy to negotiate apart from all those drivers who don’t know the rules regarding indicating…[Read more]

If you see a mistake you want to correct, there is an EDIT link on the right-hand side of your post, next to the number. It stays active for about 4-5 minutes after you post. It has saved me on numerous occasions!

@lisa  Thanks for the tip on the picture of the box! I just posted something on this image in BBC Approved Spoilers.

@lisa @blenkinsopthebrave  @purofilion   and fellow box theorists, I wondered if the Osgood Box was anything like a match to the box in The Day of the Doctor, but it seems not, though it’s hard to be sure. The box that was on the table in front of the Osgoods at the start of The Zygon Invasion does look a bit larger. Or is it simply the camera a…[Read more]

Sapphire. Now that is really interesting. “Sapphire” was the name of a cutting edge movie about race relations in late 1950s London. The plot revolved around the murder of a young black woman who had been passing herself off as white. It was about both racism and the issue of denying your identity in order to fit…[Read more]

@lisa “So do we have anyone that wants to make a prediction about the Tardis blue Osgood Box?”

So here’s my theory from an earlier posting.

3) What’s in the Osgood Box?? Nothing. The box was left by the Doctor simply as a `security blanket’ for Unit and its political masters so they’d feel better about the Peace Treaty. The Doctor really wante…[Read more]

@lisa The two scenes you mentioned bothered me on first viewing, for much the same reasons as your own. However, on second viewing, I thought the first scene was a play at humor. Stranger sitting in a swing on a children’s playground, then approaching two little girls who are eventually snatched away? It is creepy on first take, but I thought that…[Read more]

My take on the soldiers going into the church was that UNIT, as it often is, is being used metaphorically rather than with any attention to whether it is actually behaves in an effective military manner. After all, the pension budget for UNIT has always been a little on the microscopic side. And they practically faint if…[Read more]

@lisa – 1. When I think about the idea of an older man talking o 2 young girls
and then they get snatched well just saying that it felt unnerving and i cant decide
if I think that scene is courageous or crude

I actually found this scene very funny, in the way that it flipped expectations.  I expected the Doctor to be mistaken, and to look like a…[Read more]

@Starla   @Lisa   Re the UNIT soldiers being fooled into entering the church:  since the Zygons were able to lift information from the soldiers’ minds and use that information to replicate members of their families, perhaps they were able also to manipulate the soldiers’ minds into believing and trusting what they saw, despite the briefing that…[Read more]

It’s only Part one (series 9) that’s coming – I blew it, thinking it was the Box set. *blushes)

Don’t make my mistake. I still shan’t watch anymore though.

Cheers

<span class=”useratname”>@misterhoo I think you and @lisa are definitely on to something.   Why did he say to Clara “This is Doctor Disco” and not just the Doctor.  My guess is it’s his code word for it not being the real Doctor.    </span>

@lisa –well, that’s a relief!

On the zygon front, I am not sure who was human and who was zygon in the scene, just that it could have played out in different ways.

I am also not sure if zygon Clara/Bonnie really is an evil younger zygon, or an elite middle-aged zygon, or even Clara pretending to be a zygon!

Back in the 1960s in the TV show…[Read more]

@Mudlark couldn’t agree more.  See you at the pub and I’ll spot you a tonic.  (:

@lisa Physics was my emphasis, but I teach astronomy, oddly enough.  I am still chewing on your notice to the Doctor referencing himself TWICE.  He never calls himself Doctor anything, so this immediately stood out to me too.   Originally I dismissed it as poor chara…[Read more]
