@lisa   There’s a Mrs. Sarff that has democratically voted to hunt Missy down to avenge her late SO. 

Thank you, Lisa!  So satisfying . . . cue Mrs. Sarf, please!  Or, maybe a little bit later on . . .

@lisa About the double tied legs, my mind immediately chopped this up to the very practical reason that she was wearing a below the knee skirt which would be ackward.  Crew probably argued to Moffat that it was a no go in that outfit and at that point he would have to agree.

@purofilion @bluesqueakpip What still bothers me is how is Clara born…[Read more]

@lisa

Oh, I agree. Half the fun of this season is going to be deciphering all the little clues until we finally work out or are told the answer to the Great Mystery.

Whichever theory happens to be the right one, it’s going to be a whole lot of awesome watching it unravel. 🙂

@lisa @juniperfish Watching ‘The Witch’s Familiar’ again I started to wonder about the sisters of Karn.  Like Missy they are unpredictable.  Maybe Missy works for them, maybe she’s the familiar?  Just a random idea while in bed with bronchitis.   (;

@lisa  This is also where my mind was going.  I think you’re right.

I must admit that the Clara as daughter idea is not that interesting to me. But @bluesqueakpip’s idea of the Doctor’s son and the Master’s daughter producing Susan could be interesting. @lisa, personally, I hope they steer right clear of that loom business as I have never cared for it! (My personal ARSE moment)

A lot of people here and elsew…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip

thank you, i had no idea it’d been done before. i have watched a good deal of BG episodes, but ‘frontios’ is not one that i remember. i guess i could tardiswiki it, to refresh my memory…

@lisa

i’m certainly not magical, then. all my pockets produce are tons and tons of lint! (perhaps this might come in handy, if there is a…[Read more]

@lisa   Yes, that was Clara at the library with the tenth for sure.  (:

@lisa  Yes, born and raised.  The tarot theory is on The Witch’s Familiar thread.  I have a much more complicated theory involving a lot of the Whoverse, tarot, Atlantis, Egypt, Greece, Rome, etc.  but I am not a great writer, plus my last theory on Silence in Library and Forest of the Dead I posted not long after Asylum of the Daleks came out and…[Read more]

@lisa

Regarding the brooch: it could certainly have been a mourning brooch – though if it is, you’d expect it to open and have some kind of memento inside it. Admitting that Missy is an entire plantation of bananas, her delivery when she says the Doctor gave it to her seems fond rather than sad. As if she’s recalling a happy memory. It doesn’t…[Read more]

@kharis

I agree with your point about the Doctor and the sunglasses (hiding his face), it is more the type of person who turns up at a party (indoors, at night) and keeps their sunglass on that I was referring to. They may as well wear a big sign round their neck that says: PRAT.

@lisa

I too was a bit concerned about the amount of regeneration…[Read more]

@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]

@lisa

I have to say I don’t like seeing dark lenses indoors.

I agree entirely! I also think it’s a “I’m so cool I’m going to be aggressive and confrontational about it” sort of look. I do hope this doesn’t encourage a wave of indoor dark glasses wearing Whovians!

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@lisa

I can think of two occasions when you’d give the Master a present because of a daughter. One is the birth – though our custom is that the presents are for the baby. Still, even if Moffat’s following that, it’s possible that the female looking brooch was for the baby girl, and Missy’s daughter is now dead.

BUT, Missy said ‘he gave it to…[Read more]

@lisa to be honest, I thought Moffat intended as a joke and that’s how I took it. 🙂

@ichabod darn, I thought it was the Doctor who said it. Never mind, I still think there’s the possibility that there are two disks, or, as you say, Missy has tampered with it. I wonder how Ohila managed to get it to Missy? Maybe that’s just irrelevant, we jus…[Read more]

Hi @lisa 🙂 Thanks for that. I remember the dalek antibodies vaporising people – but don’t remember the daleks managing it. (Mind you, I don’t remember what I had for breakfast most days.)

@Brewski    I took a couple of screenshots, but don’t think I’m registered with a photo-sharing website, so can’t show you. If I can register somewhere w…[Read more]

@lisa

Could have been a Gallifeyan Wedding Anklet. 😉

Not sure what, but just think I saw something there.

I’ll try to find a link to a screen shot.

@lisa

Thanks for the link.  I hadn’t come across the article in Archaeology, but I was aware of the project.  Norfolk and Suffolk were my professional stamping ground before I retired, and I am familiar with quite a few of the churches.  Norfolk in particular is a good place for investigating the incidence of such graffiti, if only because of th…[Read more]
