Popping in briefly to say hi and thank you all for this great forum.

I raised a glass to @HTPBDET at 11 a.m. PST, 9 p.m. GMT on Friday. And toasted the Asylum of Whovians at the Dean Swift, the dedicated live-blog hosts, our Emperor, the Time Lord moderators, insightful posters, loyal lurkers, and all the other fantastic forum folk. Not to…[Read more]

@TardisBlue *waves back* My pleasure – simply one quick search away. I hope a lot use the opportunity! Haha, I just remembered Marta’s journey around earth to tell everyone to think of the word ‘Doctor’ when the countdown ends. Will be something like that for me personally.

I am doing something similar @TardisBlue. I invited the only friend who…[Read more]

Hope you all have a great time meeting up and I am genuinely sorry to miss it. Looking forward to the post meeting stories and also how your impressions of each other in RL compared to the online perception. Also…[Read more]

@craig

On @shazzbot ‘s blog one of the comments from @mini-htpbdets was for me to send my “cack-handed (ie not very good [yet]) script” over to them.

Can this be done via this forum? Any file would probably be a pdf. Thanks.

Thank-you for sharing your Uncle’s theories with us at this most difficult time @Mini-HTPBDETs  It had that touch of brilliance that his theories so often did and certainly gives a whole new dimension to our bonkers theorising. Moffat does like to misdirect and it would be so like him to have set up the Hurt Doctor as one of the Doctor’s…[Read more]

hey @Mini-HTPBDETs – no need to apologise (whatever for??).

I only mentioned it as it gave me a thrill when he said he liked it – its a measure of the respect I have for him that I’d be thrilled!

Glad you’re taking a break with your family.
take care and if you decide to keep posting, we’ll be very happy.

@Mini-HTPBDETs – I agree with @Whisht that your posts are very well written. That last one has really got me thinking.

I’ve got to tell you that I love your avatar too.

Thanks again for sharing.

@mini-HTPBDETS

Thanks for posting during this time. I have to say, as @ScaryB and @blenkinsopthebrave mentioned, there is some specific quotes in-show that work against the theory. Then again, the very title of that ep was The Name of the Doctor and that was read initially one way by most of us on here (@bluesqueakpip excepted) and then…[Read more]

@mini-HTPBDETS– I like that theory.

We do know that the idea of ‘self’ for a timelord is somewhat different to that of non-regenerating/reincarnating human beings. When the physical body and personality change, what is the continuation exactly, assuming it is more than memory?

And I think ‘eleven’ said something along the lines of it not being…[Read more]

@mini-HTPBDETs

He wondered whether Mr Moffat was tricking us

Ha! I think that is highly likely!

However, I tend to agree with @Blenkinsopthebrave‘s comment –

“He’s me. There’s only me here, that’s the point”…and…”I said he was me. I never said he was the Doctor

Combining the two is interesting tho, the idea that Hurt has the title originally…[Read more]
