@elwingt  Hey!  You must not be in the UK, because it’s after 3 am there and this place gets really quiet when it’s 10:45 p.m. for me, on the eastern side of the United States.  But in the morning it’s already […]

@OsakaHatter –Lula is also my nickname, given to me by my sister-in-law, 15 years ago.  Most of my friends and my husband’s family refer to me as Lula now, so it is serving me well.  I’m also a big fan of Back to […]

@Timeloop— Alpha and Omega=beginning and end of everything, yes.  It’s often referenced in literature and, of course, is very Biblical.  Omega is the end.  Is the Doctor (in whatever incarnation) meant to be the […]

@HTPBDET

@PhaseShift

Thanks for taking the time to explain this mysterious (to me!) Omega.  Moffat keeps saying there’s been clues about this S7’s final episode scattered in the past few series, and he did […]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

My family watched The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone last night (my seven year old is a tremendous fan of both River and the Weeping Angels) and I noticed an omega-type symbol on River’s camouflage, as well as the […]

@janetteB –I don’t read fanfiction (too busy reading proper novels!), but if someone wrote a Fringe/Who crossover, I’d read like it was my job and I was working for a bonus.  My love for Walter Bishop is very […]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

Now that I’ve read all of these fun Dalek-isms (I think @PhaseShift wins with Nine-Month-Wait) I currently have the biggest “Mediate” (INXS) earworm.

@Shazzbot —Okay, I’ll admit that I’m most certainly bonkers sometimes.  A popular saying here is, “Southerners don’t ask if you have crazy people in your family–we just ask which side they’re on.”  In my case, […]

@Shazzbot       The center  (centre!) of the Tardis reminded me of Apalapucia–from The Girl Who Waited.  But I thought I was alone in finding in familiar (whether or not you meant that particular episode), so […]

@ScaryB  I do lean toward the wristwatch facing inward as nothing more than a quirk of Smith’s Doctor, however I do love to speculate, so…there you go.  But I must admit that I’ve never once heard of that being […]

Speaking of the fob watch, two things about Clara’s jewelry caught my eye while watching this episode.  First, her earrings are triangle-shaped, which works for obvious reasons.  Second, one of the the bracelets […]

Probably my favorite episode of this second half of the season.   I need my usual re-watch, but my initial fascination is with the Architectural Reconfiguration System, a tree of living metal, “a machine that […]

@Craig  Hope you’re able to watch tonight–you know, 5 hours after everyone else has seen it, aka WELCOME TO AMERICA! And Florida–which has a high of 86 degrees (or 30 C) today.

Would someone mind telling me exactly how “Metebelis” is pronounced?  I read it just as Eleventy said it in Hide, but I’ve also seen all the, “How could they allow him to mess that up so badly?” comments.  I’ve […]

Noted, but I don’t think I dropped any sort of spoiler here, nor did I link to the site or reveal any pertinent information. But please forgive me for upsetting you.

@ardarith I was in Cork on an internship for my university–that’s the simple explanation. There’s more to it than that, but I’m in a vehicle driving across Virginia right now and on my phone–too much to type on […]

@ardaraith You’re in Cork? I lived there in 1997. (Ballincollig for most of my time there.) I loved it and want to go back–husband and daughters in tow–because I still have many friends in that area.

And I […]
