re Missy not remembering (assuming Simm Master was a previous regeneration)

It’s a convention from every multi-Doctor story ever written. If you go back to the 50th Special, the War Doctor (and Ecclestone Doctor) should have always known what happened when the Moment wasnt used. @bluesqueakpip wrote a blog post in that instance explaining…[Read more]

One thing that I guess we’re meant to deduce, is that the 20 or so Humans (Mondasians) who left Deck 1 to the engine room to put the engines into reverse and never came back grew into a population of thousands (I assume the city was there already ?). Is this right ?

The other thing that didnt make much sense (yet) was if the patients could use…[Read more]

The gravitational side is quite well explained here:

With time dilation, its a relative effect. As a particle spirals towards the singularity, a clock closer to the black hole will slow down relative to one further away, even though the particles themselves accelerate (and heat up giving…[Read more]

Hi. I may be wrong, but I didnt see anything that made Bill the first Mondas Cyberman. There were lots of other Mondasians ahead of her who cybertised (apart from adding the pain/emotion nullifying tech). Also the Mondasians were colonists trying to escape from Mondas, so presumably they can also be created there as well anyway…[Read more]

@pedant

I’m sure regen energy could repair Bill. I couldnt tell if the face in the window was Heather or not. Nice idea though 🙂

@missrori

🙂 tell me that when you’ve seen the episode (I guess you wont get the chance until tomorrow ?)

@missrori

Whilst you’re right about the Doctor and appearances, living as an (emotional) Cyberman is a a long way from living imo. I don’t think Moff would deliver that.

@hynesj

That’s a clever idea: Landing in Antarctica at the time of that episode.

I hope you enjoy the Tenth Planet. The Cybermen  are at their best there (along with Moonbase and Tomb of the Cybermen). That story goes wrong in the third episode (William Hartnell was ill), but apart from that it works really well as a story.

@missrori

I suppose ultimately, a point is only fixed if Moff wants it to be. I dont know if Bill survives, but since the closing scene was a tear from her eye, then it’s clear that she is still in there underneath the conversion. There is some hope then. Having written that, unlike the Raven ,where the episode never felt epic enough for me ti…[Read more]

Well that was fantastic. It seems the Master helped create the Mondasian cybermen, although I think that might be a red herring. We’ll have to wait til next week to find out Bill’s fate. I’m not yet convinced her death is inevitable.

Lots of questions regarding the Missy/Master relationship and when and why the regeneration started. The Doctor is…[Read more]

@cookgroom

Thanks. I must own the DVD then.

@janetteB

Please forgive me if my recollection is faulty, but isnt Nardole a bio-android ? Not so different in conception from a Cyberman even. I wonder if you look at Nardole as being the a mirror image of the Cyberman, there’s an added (moral ?) depth to Moff’s overall story for the season ? I wonder if that is deliberate or an happy…[Read more]

The Chase. I’ve certainly seen some of those episodes although I’m not sure that all of it survives.
