• @JimTheFish– I like The Addiction. Mind you I also like ‘Driller Killer’, there’s something wrong with me… I think the acting in The Addiction does cut through a bit of the pretension. I liked the addiction […]

  • This is a really interesting topic. Especially re: vampires/timelords and immortality. Mostly because it is, when you look at it, an absurd title. Literally, it means not going to die, but as used in literature […]

  • woefully late again-

    What I really loved about this was the chain of ethics?, morality? from the first person who takes them prisoner, who says they’re dead if they don’t give up all information, to the […]

    @Shazzbot– Didn’t House rid himself of his assistants and attempt to leave that space ‘outside the universe’ because the Doctor told him he was the last Time Lord? i.e., sexy was the last Tardis that would turn up […]

  • Miapatrick replied to the topic The Next Doctor (2)

    @Shazzbot– but yes that is a good point. If there are ever new time lords, then there probably should be ends to old time lords. (And this is probably the reasoning behind the ‘well, not so much immortal as very […]

  • Miapatrick replied to the topic The Next Doctor (2)

    @Shazzbot– I think I have in the past said something like: What if the regeneration limit isn’t a physical limitation, but a mental one- that is, that there is a limit to how many times a time lord can regenerate […]

  • @Bluesqueakpip– I print! – can’t join up at all. Being sinistral  doesn’t help, though. (Or ambi-sinister as Pratchett once put it)

    Re: Tardis scan- didn’t the doctor deliberately go to see the flesh because he […]

  • @Bluesqueakpip– and yes I did mean confirmation. Vowels are tricky for me. I do try, honest!

  • @Bluesqueakpip–  I’m dyspraxic, which means although I can read very fluently, I find it very hard to pick up on spelling mistakes. What would have happened is I think I probably spelt the word with one n, but […]

  • @Bluesqueakpip– heh, I’m only as good as my spellchecker! (I still read your name as ‘Bluepipsqueak’ and my recently developed ability to write then/than correctly has made me more proud than (see?) is […]

  • @ardaraith– that’s interesting- did we have conformation, before The Eleventh Hour, that McGann’s doctor was cannon? I almost cheered when I saw his face, because I thought he was badly let down by the film, but […]

  • Miapatrick replied to the topic Ghost Light part 3

    really saw a lot of AG influences in here. (as in, influences on AG, I’m not that timey-whimey) Aside from parallels with TCH and hide, what I think is a reference to the Doctor being ‘old’ ‘It’s very old- maybe […]

  • @Shazzbot– but- Tricey was cute! And there was a nice moment between Rory and his dad. ‘you collect trowels, I collect medical supplies’. Other than that, it was a pretty disturbing mixture of child-friendly fun […]

  • @CraigNixon– yes, interesting, Kovarian should still be alive. In fact we haven’t seen the ‘endless bitter war’ that they were attempting to prevent, in a ‘Let’s Kill Hitler’ kind of way. Does the fact they tried […]

  • Miapatrick replied to the topic On the Sofa (part 2)

    @Shazzbot– glad you’re back 🙂

  • Miapatrick replied to the topic On the Sofa (part 2)

    @DrTennant– if you’re struggling to post coherently from those devices, could you try posting from a computer? Your posts are almost impossible to read. Perhaps experiment with forming sentences, with punctuation […]

  • Miapatrick replied to the topic The Next Doctor

    oh god I’m scared to look, go on, what is it?

    how is it spelt? seriously, I’m so bad at remembering spellings- terrible with Tennant. Like banana’s, I start off ok but forget how to stop) and I’m really liking […]

  • Miapatrick replied to the topic The Next Doctor

    @Nick mmm too late? Sorry! 😉

    Anyway, Capaldi is a great choice, I’m almost (almost) looking forward to the regeneration. (Can’t one of his regenerations be the ganger doctor? :() but I do hope any romance is […]

    @Nick– though of course in Vastra and Jenny’s marriage, interbreeding isn’t an issue… arguably, now that same sex marriages are going to be legal (damn I have to buy my sister another present…) the breeding […]

  • Miapatrick replied to the topic The Next Doctor

    @JimTheFish– on the whole I think Moffat has tried to avoid the girlfriend-companion thing. Rose flirting with Captain Jack, Martha looking less mooney then she ever does in Blink, Ten swooning over MdP, Eleven […]
