@whisht  Now that is a bonkers theory and I like it!  😀

I do wonder about that woman looking like Heather — easy to miss if one wasn’t looking…but if any loose end needed tying up, it’s that…

@nick Could be.  But how much does the Doctor have to do to redeem himself?  He hasn’t been evil, like Missy.  Just making mistakes, having too much hope — trying to do noble things that perhaps were never meant to be, out of love and loneliness.  And when he tried to redeem himself by correcting Clara’s death, everybody was a jerk to him…

@lisa Yeah, he might have been a little faster.  But that guy was trigger-happy; he wouldn’t listen to reason and rushing might have been even worse.  And Bill probably shouldn’t have spoken up to begin with…

It will be interesting to see how Bill and Missy turn out next week.  At this point Nardole’s fate’s a bit of a wild card innit?  And I j…[Read more]

@nick  I think he was too shocked by her shooting to react fast enough to the nurses taking her away — and he didn’t know why that would be so bad yet, either.  (Also, he just isn’t big on guns.)  And you’re right about the dithering.  On the other hand, he had to deal with the Missy issue sometime, and I’m not sure how else he was going to fin…[Read more]

@pedant 40 lashes with a wet noodle for me, sorry.

Yeah, I know the show traumatizing kids is a beloved tradition at this point (as seen in last year’s BBC Christmas advert!) but there’s no justification Bill has to “die” for real if everybody else gets wiggle room.  She’s suffered enough and so has this Doctor.  😉  Besides, this Doctor’s ne…[Read more]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

Also, with regards to the Doctor and Bill, I’m tired of all these folks elsewhere saying that it’s all his fault!  There’s chatter elsewhere chewing him out for putting Bill in danger and all with the Missy test, but she chose to help him; she knew him to be a trustworthy man and he was honest with her.  It’s like how a lot of people seemed to bl…[Read more]

@ichabod  I like The Thick of It.  There’s something weirdly cuddly, as well as funny, about Malcolm’s cussing, isn’t there?

@thane15  That’s an interesting way of putting Twelve — “equally confused as his companion”!

@thane15  I just want the Doctor and Bill to have a happy ending.  I read a comment elsewhere about how a viewer’s kids are heartbroken by Bill becoming a Cyberman.  Apparently, she is a very popular character with kids.  So the viewer wondered out loud if Bill is just going to bite the dust next week, since Moffat has nothing left to lose, eve…[Read more]

@ichabod (cuddles)  I’m sorry to make you cry.  I think many people are crying right now tonight…

@glasgowboy  According to Steven Moffat, what’s going to happen is that the ending of “The Doctor Falls” is going to have a twist that will lead directly into the Christmas episode’s events.  And Capaldi is coming back for Christmas, one more time.

What might happen?  Who nose?  But Moffat’s gone on record as saying that while “The Doctor Fal…[Read more]

@ichabod: So you dropped off after Eccleston too and came back with Capaldi?  That’s my story!

Yes.  I wound up binge-watching much of that first series and was eager to get into the Tennant Doctor.  I liked his style.  But I started thinking things were getting rather cornball and too needlessly angsty around the time of “The Girl in the Fir…[Read more]

@thane15  So, do you regard the Doctor and Bill’s reunion as a happy thing for them, talking about the good and bad things in his lives?  He kept his promise to protect her within reason…and they could be together forever now, as I noted.  She can still feel, and he can heal her pain by giving her all the wonders of the universe, and helping he…[Read more]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@nick I’ll see it in a few hours.  🙂  I know what you’re trying to say, but the Doctor is a healer after all. He can find a way…

And @devilishrobby has a point; he might not be able to fix her without causing a really bad paradox.  Maybe this was all meant to be.  So make the best of it…people who are disabled or suffer constant pain can sti…[Read more]

@nick But she will have the Doctor with her!  He can make her life so rich and wonderful, fill her heart with beauty to ease the pain, cocktails with Moses!  Wonders forever and ever.  She’ll be human as she ever was…alive…

@nick Well, as I said – if Bill is still there, then getting her out from under Cyber-control should be easy at least.  He tells her to shake it off, think of love, his love, her mum’s love.  And then they just take the lift.

Or, maybe he realizes he doesn’t need to “fix” her.  He doesn’t judge by appearances.  He will always love her no mat…[Read more]
