@MissRori

((Hugs)) in return.  I hope that you know and feel that here, at least, there are people who are sympathetic, and that you have a space to vent, along with the rest of us 🙂

@thane15   (puro) good to see you here.  I am reasonably well, despite SDS (seasonal dormouse syndrome), and an alcohol intake that is greater than strictly pru…[Read more]

@missrori    Being a Canadian I have watched  the U.S.  election closely without having a say in the results of course and it was very frustrating to watch Trump win even though he was such a …….lets just say “bad choice.” It must be so much worse for the Americans who did not vote for him. Also there is fear and uncertainty about the futu…[Read more]

@MissRori  The feeling of helplessness is a big problem for all of us and not without reason. We have been made to feel helpless, over and over. Everytime there is a mass protest movement that achieves nothing another generation throws up its hands in despair. Back in 2003 when thousands turned out to protest the Iraq war there was a real sense…[Read more]

@missrori: Sorry your bummed about Trump and everything he stands for. But you and everyone else are definately not alone. I was feeling empty on election night and was in denial for about 2 weeks after. But I decided I would rebel against the vile bitterness of the next few years by committing everyday acts of kindness.

I suppose like Sisyphus i…[Read more]

“This struggle is turning up a lot in the real world.  Those who show and encourage compassion are mocked and shunned, the needy and small are neglected, no one can be trusted, and the bullying and powerful always win in the end.  If it is good to do good, to be a Doctor, why is it those people who get the short end of the s…[Read more]

Strange developments are beginning to unfold here.  Trump supporters have begun to realize that “the ACA”, the medical programme that is maintaining their families’ health and lives, is in fact the exact same thing as the hated “Obamacare”, so when Trump & co said they’d dump Obamacare, it meant “We’re taking YOUR benefits and supports, you…[Read more]

@Arbutus – wow, Autumn Leaves. Haven’t listened to that in years and so listened to it like it was the first time.
Made me stop, not twiddle with my phone, not read something else while listening, not watch the TV.
My mood matched the song, so thank you sooooo much!

@Missrori – I’m sure others have written better than I about the Doctor’s…[Read more]

Oops sorry. Not paying attention. @missrori

Cheers

@missrori:  You have us m’dear. Talk away.

Missy

@missrori  Goodness, yes!  Maybe parents are more critical of that sort of thing here because here in the US we had that mad “comic books will pervert your children’s brains!!” scare from Dr. Frederick Wertham back in the fifties, and then the “bad music will rot your children’s morals!!” scare, and then the “Play these records backwards and t…[Read more]

@missrori:

I understand how you feel, the world is in a terrible mess. That is is why, for me, Doctor Who is essential.

Escapism Tardis style.  I hope that your family don’t talk round you today, and that your other relative,

is much better.

@missrori   No “Mysterio” for me til next Tuesday — I’ll be seeing it in a cinema plex thing Tues. night, since my current TV services aren’t delivering it at home.  Bah.  I’ll have to go across the blasted river for it!  Ah, well.  We’ll see.

No Christmas lights show downtown this year, no tours.  Everybody’s still shellshocked around here…[Read more]

@missrori

Oh, what a shame! Next time.

Were you able to open the link? I assure you, the answers given by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss are very funny.

Missy

@missrori: Still sounds great. What was Billie Piper like? She was my favourite companion.

Have any of you seen this, hope the link works.

@nerys. My eye is still sore, but the soreness goes away after a while, I still wear dark glasses everywhere – even indoors- or both eyes become very tired.

@missrori: Thank you for that. What fun, although I’m surprised that PC and neither of the writers were there too?Forgive me if I seem to shorten sentences, but it’s a strain looking through…[Read more]

@missy  This multiple-channel mind process hit me first when I was watching rehearsals for a stage play. The actors would do a scene, everybody uptight and emotional, and then one would stop, completely dropping the “act”, and ask the Director if maybe *this* would be more effective, and then bam, he’s back in that charged dramatic moment again…[Read more]

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@MissRori

You need to appreciate that these rumours are usually published first in tabloids with a massive anti-BBC agenda, so a perfectly harmless throwaway remark will be spun out of all proportion. They are also fed by those within the BBC with an anti-Who agenda (perhaps feeling it steals budget from their own show). So (unless you have a…[Read more]

@missrori

I agree. But on the other hand, this is a rather a special place.

I, too, read about it:

Next “Doctor Who” To Be Young Again

and since it is apparently on the Radio Times as well I suppose it is sort of official. Maybe.

Anyway, perhaps this is yet another reason why we should watch another story from Chris…[Read more]
