@Bobbingbird – right there. That’s why I love this site. Collective theorising is so much more fun, especially when you get the benefit of other peoples admirable knowledge of Doctor Who history. 😉

Really happy to see the new posters over here. I used to really enjoy going to the DM blog in the morning and reading through new comments, but the nesting and the quality of the negative comments are close to […]

@JimTheFish– god, that’s a good point, maybe he did lose some memories. Maybe not 11 memories, but previous doctors.

Which could lead into the 50th anniversary… and he would be less likely to be aware of it.

OK, I didn’t mention it last time because it seemed so tenuous- but the Doctor’s tooth marks? Two times last episode we saw him biting into something then putting it down/passing it to someone, and here he did it […]

@janetteB, I agree about Clara, there is a lot pointing to it, among other things the differences between her reactions to the Tardis in the Christmas Special and this episode. Here she is pretty shocked and […]

@Juniperfish– I loved the dancing. I’m not as a rule over-fond of physical comedy, but Matt Smith always plays it just right, with enough self consciousness to make it seem creditable.

Having sobered up and […]

Re: eggs. Of course no eggs now it’s Easter.  wanted to get my boyfriend one today. No eggs left. amazing how relevant who is.

Although, a theoretical egg is there, given that with River Moffit seems to be on […]

@ScaryB I’m not sure now, but I remember noticing flickering lights, and thinking of possible significance.

OK, bonkers theory: Earth was a computer but the files became corrupted (six times nine indeed…) so in TBB (or TWORS, which would fit in with the whole ‘new’ thing) it was dismantled and the components used to […]

@JimTheFish: giving a little irony to all those ‘this is new’s…

I’m torn between your theory, and ‘our’ doctor being the big bad. Mind you, RTD had two Doctors, one rather more dangerous than the […]

@Whisit there is a lovely Peter Pan element to the I am Spartacus idea.

Two things I keep coming back to. The fact that the Doctor said ‘this is new’ or ‘it’s new’ in every episode of the first half of the […]

@JimTheFish Mind you, the Fall of the Eleventh could mean nothing more than he trips up and gets back up again perfectly unharmed. I wouldn’t put it past Moffatt.

Nor would I…

@JimTheFish– the stormageddin stuff was brillent. Kind of makes me wish Moffit would remake ‘Look who’s talking’…

Agree the Cybermen part were terrible, like @janetteB says,  the ending fell off badly. Even […]

For all the flaws to this episode- I like the Craig episodes, mostly I think because he’s almost an anti-companion. Craig was the one who didn’t want to go anywhere, who chose instead what the Doctor calls the […]

@Whisht– agree about the new actors- but more because of the characterisation of the new cast.

The original was essentially a recovering drug  addict, an agoraphobic and a bi-polar personality disorder […]

Hya, thank you to everyone for your congratulations- would have replied earlier but last weekend was my friends birthday eve, birthday. and birthboxing day (/ happy 95% to me) celebrations, and on Monday I got an […]

Hi everyone… sorry for the smugness but have to put it somewhere- the OU assignment I mentioned elsewhere- I got 95%! And given that it involved creative writing, which I intend to pursue with the OU, I am so very happy!

Just realised there is an edit function on posts! @Craig, I love you!

@PhaseShift– that is so interesting, that coldness and cynicism can be reassuring, but it really was. Then again, isn’t it (especially according to Rory) the Doctors bursts of enthusiasm and lack of calculation […]

I really love this episode. As i might have mentioned, i love Moffitwho in general, but this episode almost stands out to me the way Moffit episodes stood out in RTDwho.

One thing that struck me, re-watching […]
