SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

I received the same message. Sadly, not “the one” after all.

In the immortal words of the spousal unit, “How the hell are we supposed to know what to subscribe to for the content we want?” Yeah, my words exactly. Or some paraphrase therein.

@jimthefish

It’s all down to contracts and renewal dates but the chances are that it’ll be pulled from Canada too at the earliest opportunity.

@arbutus

Yes, I imagine that the contract runs out at some future date and then we will lose it as well.

Gah, my hopes hopes dashed. Oh well. If I’m going to do any more Doctor Who binge-watching, I’d bet…[Read more]

Interesting development: In the previous Dr Who News (3) thread, I read that Doctor Who was being dropped by Netflix on Feb. 1. However, I just took a look, and at least with Netflix Canada it is still there. Maybe this is something we will actually have that Netflix U.S. doesn’t? That’s rare. Our Netflix lineup is far less substantial than the U.S. one.

Well, I’m late to this party. Doctor Who is no longer available on Netflix? I’m glad I did some reviewing between “Hell Bent” and the Christmas special. I guess that means I’d better save the episodes I recorded on my DVR.

Never mind, I found it: Dailymotion (thank you again @lisa)

I’m not sure where to post this question, so hopefully I’m not too far wrong here. Someone once kindly posted where Doctor Who episodes can be found online. May I have a reminder as to where that is, again? Silly me, I did not bookmark it. Thank you.

@puroandson You know, reading other posts here, I felt a bit guilty in liking the Slitheen. I guess fart jokes still crack me up, sophomoric humour and all. But I felt there was a balance there between the humour and the seriousness of what the Doctor is all about. He is about protecting Earth and human civilization, yet he is not without…[Read more]

Cautiously dipping a toe into the heated waters of this debate: I remember the “reboot” debate circling around Daniel Craig’s entry into the Bond franchise, and all that entailed in terms of adapting the Bond canon into a contemporary setting. I vaguely remember the term “retcon” being bandied about as the more appropriate term. Yes or no? I won’t…[Read more]

Well … I loved the first season of Broadchurch, but was quite underwhelmed by the second. And we have only a Christmas special to look forward to in 2016, followed by Moffat’s last season in 2017? That’s a long wait. Ah, well. There’s always that treasure trove of past episodes on Netflix.

The other night I gave “Husbands” a second watch, then rewatched the “Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead” episodes to reacquaint myself with how we viewers first met River. I think I shall have to review the Amy/Rory episodes, as well, as I have forgotten so many of those details. (‘Tis the curse of binge-watching Doctor Who on Netflix.)…[Read more]

Rewatched and spotted the new sonic near the end in the control room.  However, it was on screen for less than 30 seconds.  I’m not the only one who missed it.  The closed captions writer thought it was the sonic trowel.

I’m about to do a rewatch, but if I recall correctly, River did have a sonic trowel. The Doctor thought it quite…[Read more]

My goodness, how many fellow Canucks are there here? I am in Canada by way of the U.S., so I still feel like a bit of an interloper (Canadian citizenship notwithstanding).

@mccottonthedoctorfan

Welcome to this forum! I really enjoy the intelligent discourse here. By and large we are troll-resistant (notice I didn’t say “-free” … but we do our best to keep that silliness at bay).

@ichabod

It’s a form of meditation for him, I think — better than sitting on his TARDIS in a sort of yoga posture, more like this Doc…

@puroandson Someone has Jenna Coleman confused with Katie Holmes? There is a bit of a resemblance, but ouch. That had to have hurt worse than the needle prick.

@puroandson

Do you have favourite season of X-Files? Or did you believe the whole thing was a flop?

@pedant

First 5 seasons were OK (and occasionally very good indeed), then it went badly off the rails and they were too slow putting it out of our misery.

I agree completely. I was never a fan of the convoluted mythology episodes, and really enjoyed…[Read more]

I love this guitar-playing Doctor. I think it’s wonderful that he does something besides fly a TARDIS … but that’s just me. For what it’s worth, I have enjoyed all of the new-era Doctors equally, but differently. Each time a new actor comes on board, I think there’s no way he can top his predecessor. And then I find I enjoy him precisely for the…[Read more]

@geoffers

upon reviewing this scene, i did find it odd that ashildr/me remembers the events of “face the raven” so well, given her terrible retention. perhaps the time lords brought her forward in time, as well, and those events aren’t all that long ago to her, now? (but that doesn’t explain how she’s remembered everything while waiting for the d…

1. Sunglasses: Clara gives them back to the Doctor who, later in the diner puts them on the countertop to connect his electric guitar to the speaker system. BUT, the diner and the furniture in it are all part of Clara’s shiny new TARDIS, so when she dematerialises to leave the Doctor alone in the desert with his old TARDIS, the s…
