no Susan and Rogue are definitely NOT illusory. Nor is Roger ap Gwillem, Stukey Bill, or the Space Babies. However, everyone apart from Susan, but perhaps her too, are disguised. If anything, they are all rooted in The Doctor’s REAL consciousness.

We know now the exterior of The Bone Palace is unreal. But is the interior? Mavity p…[Read more]

Poppy and the army can’t do anything if they’re dead, and they all just fell into giant purple portals with buildings collapsing onto them to boot. The whole Earth’s gone to dust, and they’re not going to have a TARDIS swooping in to scoop them up. We already know from previous episodes that Earth is dead-dead-dead post May 24 2025, an…

@missrori I think anyone falling to their death thinks of their offspring first. It demonstrates how human the Doctor has become. As it shows the very best of us.

@syzygy    I think Clara knows exactly who the Doctor is.   What she doesn’t know is, how much he remembers (and I think she’s fishing for information all the way through).

Of course, WE (on first viewing) don’t know which (if either) of them remembers.   In fact we don’t even know they’ve forgotten, except that becomes fairly obvious in the fi…[Read more]

@missrori

…and no master, and no regeneration. I thought for sure memories were going to LEAP out of the watch and create a new doctor in a new way.

@missrori

I’m alone here I know.  But I am not surprised about the lack lustre response for the next series.

Perhaps when the REAL Doctor returns, things will be different.

Still my opinion. *grins*

@thane16 The Good Place comes highly recommended. Thanks for adding your praise of it! I will have to look it up once we finish Unforgotten.

@missrori There’s not much I can add to what’s already been said. I’m glad that it at least helps for you to express your thoughts and feelings here.

@blenkinsopthebrave Congratulations on your Canadian…[Read more]

@missrori    What I did find helped a lot with my driving test was, I left off taking it for quite a while, just getting in practice driving with my father in the car.   So by the time I took the test, I knew very well how to drive, didn’t even have to think about the mechanics of driving, all I had to concentrate on was answering the ques…[Read more]

@missrori    I have somewhat of a one-track mind but I find I can influence, to a moderate but useful extent, which track my thoughts are going on.   Just occasionally, maybe once a year, I find myself unable to sleep at 4a.m. with my thoughts going round and round like a stuck record.   All I do then is give up any attempt at trying to sleep,…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

as I know others & @janetteb is already aware, @missrori has been told “advice,” stories and help many, many, many times.

None of it is followed. It reappears every few months when people suddenly show up again.

Firstly some old responses that I have been copy/pasting for days.

@dentarthurdent Belated Happy Birthday. Getting older is a misfortune we all share, like lockdowns. Hopefully yours will soon be over. At least you have a responsive government and have lots of water between you and N.S.W though Delta has a way of infiltrating. I believe that we…[Read more]

@missrori I assume you’re young (or at least younger than some of us old relics who saw the first episode of Doctor Who when it was screened and yes I do mean old Who 🙂 So you can take the long view. You have the time. The world will gradually recover from Covid, one way or another. Most people want to travel and commercial imperatives will cause…[Read more]

@missrori  Hello, It is good to know that you and your family have recovered from the virus. I also feel your frustration with people who won’t get the shots that will help us all recover. It seems to have gone on for a long time and like most of us I wish it were over.

Being positive is hard these days but my Mom used to say “this too will…[Read more]

@missrori    Thanks for that!     Still, sounds like it would be worth my while to pick up a copy of Twice Upon a Time to read for myself.

@MissRori     Hi, thanks for that.   While I don’t usually bother with the books (the exception being The Day of the Doctor), I have to say I do like that story.   It fits in with what I’d surmised and doesn’t do any violence to the TV storyline.   It hadn’t occurred to me – but it’s obvious now you mentioned it – that if Bill was ‘collecte…[Read more]

Happy New Year all. Fingers crossed 2021 will see a turning in the trend in world affairs, not just in terms of the pandemic but that we will also see the end of the march of right wing ideas and some attention given to our beleaguered environment at last. We are at a critical point now and, with a new administration in the U.S. I feel as thought…[Read more]

@missrori I hope you are feeling completely well again soon! It’s good that you your essential needs are met. As you say, it can be so much worse. I am glad that you are comfortable, all things considered, and managing your way through this.

@missrori @ichabod I agree with both you about the “too much explaining” going on in Chibnall’s dialogue. Yes, the Doctor has always been wordy, but it wasn’t always to explain each and every thing. I sense a lack of connective tissue in the writing. Which, given Seasons 1 and 3 of Broadchurch, surprises me. Clearly Chibnall is capable of writing…[Read more]

@arbutus We get Crave with our cable subscription, so as far as I know, that’s still the same. We have a combo package that includes HBO, so that gets us most of the programs, films and specials we want to watch.

As for my dad’s recovery, we think this is his last day of isolation. But now my stepmother is faced with the task of finding him a…[Read more]

Hi Puro @thane16 really good to hear from you again. Glad that all is well up in Brisbane. It is like a yo yo at the moment. We are relatively relaxed here in S.A. but everyone is fearful and unwilling to make any plans. So many events cancelled. It does get a bit depressing but at least we can go out. Pubs, cafes and wineries are open and we are…[Read more]
