I have in no way caught up with all these posts – got too much going on! -, but have rewatched Heaven Sent and Hell Bent – the latter on my tv instead of my tablet, yay!

Further things that have sprung to mind in the meantime/more thoughts I’ve had…

I like the way last year had Clara betraying the Doctor over Danny’s death while this year had…[Read more]

@thebrainofmoffat or 4th possibility, Clara’s Tardis takes her back to Gallifray at a time it decides is appropriate for her to face the Raven.

If I were going to guess, I’d say that Moffat was poking a bit with the half-human reference.

@arbutus oh yes, but it just reminded me of Osgood and her insistence that it didn’t matter if she was human or Zygon, she was just Osgood.

 I do think he should not have made an enemy of Rassilon.

@catladymeow Apart from any horrors he was res…[Read more]

@stara I think this quote:

At the end of everything, one must expect the company of immortals.

covers how the Sisterhood were there.

Well. Best finale ever? Maybe.

Thoughts…

I still think Missy contacted Ashildr/Me at some point, though that’s been left open to interpretation.

Have we just been ‘Osgooded’ over if the Doctor is half human or not?

Will need to watch again but did the Doctor imply he’d always known he was in the Confession Dial?

Can Clara still be Orson’s…[Read more]

And he’s lying when he says it’s him, isn’t he? He couldn’t lie when he was in the confession dial, but he can now he’s out. Is he trying to protect the hybrid and/or Gallifray?

@mudlark could be one of those running away from destiny causes it to happen things? And he did recognise Ashildr.

Not that I’m convinced it is Ashildr, I think Clara is still more likely – though I’m not convinced of that either.

Having rewatched without the drawback of being on large amounts of painkillers, I have to say it’s been upgraded to magnificent and I now get the missing flagstone and where it went  – which should have been obvious, but I wasn’t at my best on Saturday.

@jphamlore like the ideas about the dial

Not read through all the posts, not been very well, but that was rather marvellous!

I’m hoping the watching it chronologically from Clara’s point of view rather than the Doctor’s theory is true and that we just saw the creation of the Confession Dial.

Definitely need to watch it again when I’m less dazed – what was the missing octagonal f…[Read more]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel there’s bits of story missing? Clara’s recklessness seems mainly to have been in adventures we didn’t see – I don’t remember her being particularly reckless in Under the Lake, Before the Flood, The Zygon Invasion/Inversion or Sleep No More. She wasn’t really in The Woman Who Lived.

She was a bit in The G…[Read more]

and the only ones who know about a confession dial.

@jphamlore Davros also knows about the confession dial and expressed interest as to what the confession was.

I imagine he’ll be blaming himself for her demise given that he allowed her too much rope.

@lisa maybe more than that. His couple of little chats with Clara about her needing a new hobby are somewhat similar to his telling O’Donnell to stay on the Tardis when he suspected her to be next to die in Before the Flood where he was accused of not t…[Read more]

Just wondering how Me/Ashildr knew to be at the school and in the right place to show up in the background of a photo that would end up being shown to the Doctor?

I’m wondering what Missy’s clever idea was back in The Witches Familiar and if it has anything to do with who ‘they’ are.

Me may not have guessed what Clara would do, but Missy might.

On Robots of Sherwood, I must admit I don’t like it, but it’s mainly the end I don’t like and that has sort of coloured my view of the whole thing. I loved the fight with the spoon and the Doctor and Robin bickering was very funny.

Not sure about Sleep no More, need to watch it again. My initial impression was ‘meh’, but I wasn’t watching under…[Read more]

@spacedmunkee

The computers insistence on the soldier singing the “Song” . Seemed like an obscure piece to add to the story.

Seemed a bit of a nod to GLaDOS from Portal to me. I almost expected the computer to offer him cake and a weighted storage cube.  Then try to kill him.

@janetteb I also thought of Gaiman’s Sandman. Dream had a raven as well…

And Clara and getting trapped in a pod/enclosed space again. Cables described as snake like in the way they pulled her in as well.
