@mudlark,

Thanks for that excellent description of the Time Window sequence. I was struck by the colours you mention, particularly as they hint at Sutekh (as in P of M). I wonder if this could mean that the woman in the cloak and hood becomes possessed by or respondent to Sutekh as the events play out in the Time Window? If so, this might explain…[Read more]

@Mudlark

Thank you so much for clearing up my muddled time-addled little brain! I’d forgotten it was a Time Window they were looking at. (Funnily enough I’ve been mis-reading Sunak for Sutekh a few times! 😛  )

@Juniperfish – sorry, not worked out the music for that scene yet, need another look/listen

I first typed Sunakh instead of Sutekh. How’s that for a Freudian slip :-O

@mudlark

Haha. Only unless you agree with my puppet theory you’re surely attributing a power where there is none!

@thane16 @Mudlark – Wild Blue Yonder astronaut was definitely equine inspired.

I’m also concerned about Cherry – she doesn’t look at all safe with Mrs Flood, but is she just a minor character or is there something more to her that we’ve been distracted from?! (And indeed, what about Mrs F?)

(Douglas Adams had a lot to say about the power of a…[Read more]

@Mudlark – that is just AWESOME work! 🙂

As @Blenkinsopthebrave says the TARDIS also groans in Abbey Road, and I think at least one other time this series (possibly in Space Babies).

Interesting pick up from Twitter –

I believe it groaned as they were crossing Abbey Road in 1963.

@mudlark @pufferfish @whohar @bunface and calling those with knowledge of Horus … People have suggested Ruby is part of an altered reality. Has she been placed in different time streams by the Doctor to fight Sutehk?

And, as others noted, when Kate articulates her chrysalis theory, Ruby arrives at UNIT with her VHS. S Triad is the vessel for e…[Read more]

@scaryb @juniperfish @mudlark et. al.

Yes, this is juicy! ScaryB, yes, something is very odd about Ruby -Maestro says “she has music hidden in her soul…. This creature is VERY wrong. And HE can’t have been there that night!”
@unitpicker “she could of course be the real Susan.” Oh yes! That’s most intriguing.

Juniper -yes, me too. How can the f…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave to those who said it’s not sutekh…. Take a bow! And @ps1l0v3y0u and all those others who followed early Who and remember those very early episodes.

24 hours ago, and not having seen him before, or the years in which he travelled: “the mother and father and other of them all” all I could offer was The Beast because RTD LOVES a…[Read more]

@WhoHar (and @Juniperfish)

Great summing up of questions, and possible answers.

So how much is RTD teasing us, how ultra meta is this going to go, and how much is relevant?

I agree with @Mudlark that it all goes back to invoking the salt superstition in Wild Blue Yonder... or actually to the beginning of that episode with Susan Twist’s first…[Read more]

Thought I’d do a recap ahead of the two-part finale.

@ps1l0v3y0u

“River’s wedding barking brain blower.” 🙂 🙂

wasn’t it just? and I SO wanted to see the nightmare child! I had visions it _was_ the Doctor, at one point.
I’m envisioning something different now: is Ruby her own mother? I think not as @mudlark pointed out -it’s not a particularly great twist: “there’s *always* a twist..”
