@kharis and @missrori—

Yes, I think there’s a bit of misdirection going on re. The Vault. I don’t think there’s any doubt that it was Missy that was put into the Vault but I’m not sure it’s Missy that’s going to come out. There always seems to have been this assumption the Doctor and Master’s confrontations happen in the linear order that we’ve…[Read more]

@missrori  OH!  GOOD!  Back to bonkerizing then, wa, ha, ha!

Wouldn’t put it past Moffat, one word: Pandorica.  (;

@missrori “I’m thinking of his lines in “Deep Breath” about all his bad years and the mistakes he’s made.  He wants to be better than that, and trying so hard…so hard.”  So true, and so sad.  This Doctor really pulls at my heartstrings.

@wolfweed: Thanks for that. I am always listening to audio books, if not them, Radio 4 Extra. I shall have a trawl at my library.

@missrori: I’ve never heard of them.

@ichabod: Yes, I do know what you mean, and he does do that! As martin Freeman said about Sherlock, everything is going along nice and evenly, then WHAM you get a shock! I am really…[Read more]

@icahabod and @countscarlioni My heart sank too when I read that.

@missrori  and @winston Yes I think there is far more to Bill’s Mum than meets the eye. When I first saw the photo I thought Susan but then that might just reflect my own wishes to find out what became of her after the Doctor left her. I have always felt that there is an as yet to…[Read more]

@missrori   . . . the darkest the show’s been since “Dark Water”.

Oh, wow — *can’t WAIT*!  It could be that Moffat took on the earlier, lighter episodes just to lull us into a (false) sense of security, and now — one hell of an oncoming storm!  I would like that.  No, let’s be honest — I would love that.  He’s got an actor with a fine, stygia…[Read more]

@pedant  We also saw him lose his screwdriver.

But the Tardis, as we saw in Hell Bent, can make him another, right?  Trouble is, how can he use it effectively if he can’t see?

@janetteb   I wonder how much Nardole really knows about the Doctor.

And v.v..

@countscarlioni  Chris is sticking with a team he’s got used to working with on Broad…[Read more]

@MissRori

Wouldn’t a single death be an acceptable loss if the fate of the Earth is at stake due to that prisoner?

No. We’ve had this conversation – one does not do the right thing because it is part of a calculation, one does the right thing because it is the right thing.

And you go on adventures with companions/assistants/sidekicks because t…[Read more]

>@blenkinsopthebrave: Love the video – thank you!

@lisa: Interesting and could explain why he wears his glasses a lot.

>@janetteb:  Agree with @mudlark that the Doctor does not appear to be telling Nardole the truth about anything and may well be exaggerating his blindness. I wonder how much Nardole really knows about the Doctor.
>Good point.…[Read more]

@missrori

Right theres definately flaws in this theory. Still its compelling 🙂

@MissRori

I was thinking more of loss of advantages and tools. If the psychic paper goes next, we’ll know I onto something.

@MissRori  (and others)

The Doctor is blind, but I have wondered whether he was telling Nardole the whole truth, given the signs of their somewhat edgy relationship.  Although I didn’t spell it out in my post on Saturday evening, my assumption has been that he had reverted to wearing the sonic glasses because he could use them to help overcome hi…[Read more]

@missrori  Of course it’s sad but beautiful. That’s practically a theme of Capaldi’s tenure…

Mmm, yes!

And what will Bill do if/when she finds out he’s still blind because he saved her?

Ow, yes!  That’s got to be a tough one for her.  He, of course, will make light of it (sorry, sorry . . . .)!

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@missrori   So true — it’s the *trying*, it’s the not passing by on the other side . . .

@alexwho  Suchet is excellent; always a pleasure to see him at work!
