    On re reading this, I wanted to make an extra point, although I cant edit for some reason.

    The description of the Thals also shows that the show included serious points for adults and or […]

    @JimTheFish

    I thought the rationale at the time was that the Thals have, after their own cycle of genetic mutation combined with the historical memory of the global thermonuclear war, essentially become firm […]

    Re Paul McGann. Let’s hope so. Its much easier for them to keep the secret when there is no outside studio shooting. They have been pretty good at keeping these secrets after all. They would […]

    @JimTheFish

    As ever, there’s little in your post and analysis I would actually disagree with. Your explanation that the Older foes form a welcome break between the more psychologically scary AG elements […]

    @ScaryB

    I never know quite how much I should write. My point with the %’s is that RTD/SM have managed to find quite a lot of screen time to use BG foes. You can’t therefore argue that there isn’t screen time to […]

    I hadn’t thought about it until today when I saw the news, but it just had to be didn’t it ?

    The pictures look good. This and the length suggests we have every chance of seeing something […]

    @JimTheFish @JanetteB

    Now that’s a challenge. I’d suggest one of Terror of the Vervoids, Revelation of the Daleks or Vengence on Varos

    (it will be a shame to loose Alexei Sale, but I’m afraid it is a […]

    Well done. Very believable. I see you have the original River prototype on her way as well 🙂

    I understand where RTD and SM are coming from as former fans. They have a difficult call to make as show runners. Whilst there is undoubtedly far too many BG ARSEs out there, I think on balance they […]

    I’m not so sure that ending the 12 regenerations limit (13 Doctors) has got to go in quite the same way you think. You can actually argue that when River gave the Doctor her remaining Artron energy he […]

    @JimTheFish

    I’m not so sure that I am against changing past continuity at all and I think that AG Who has been far too conservative by bringing back and reusing BG Who foes (too often and far worse far given […]

    @Bluesqueakpip

    The continuity changes are generally subtle (except for Skaro), but they’re consistently there throughout both Asylum and the second half of Series 7. And while most of them could be explained […]

  • Nick replied to the topic Companions past and present

    @HTPBDET @Bluesqueakpip

    But there is a whole SM season devoted to the Eleventh Doctor altering his own future to avoid a fixed point in time where he dies…

    Was this ever a fixed point in time in the first […]

    @Bluesqueakpip @HTPBDET @MadScientist72 @ScaryB @Shazzbot

    It seems to me that trying to debate anything to do with the Daleks, Davros and the destruction of Skaro is problematic anyway as both the Doctor and […]

  • Nick commented on the post, Wibbley Wobbly, Timey Wimey

    @Bluesqueakpip

    Fantastic. I even think I understand it (well maybe).

    I think fixed points are a matter of perspective as much as anything else, which is a subtly different way at looking at your Rume 1 and […]

    Re the Tardis show

    This originally came out of a point I raise which questioned why the Doctors ability to steer the Tardis in the AG-SM era hd mkedly improved than in earlier series (both […]

    SM story arc/arcs

    Yes I actually believe he will tie them all together before he goes. We may well be in for a shock if he does as I think he’s probably playing a long game he had in his mind at the […]

    @Madscientist72

    One last thing before I go home for the weekend. I thinks its probably best to leave out real life physics 🙂 Apart from the fact that I doubt we have anything like the full understanding yet, […]

    @Bluesqueakpip

    Thanks. I must pay much much more attention lol. I can see that it appears SM has been pretty clever again (something I never doubted), although I’m not sure whether you list supports your idea […]

    I agree of course, but is your description entirely correct description. The “fall of 11” as dropped in quite a while back, but we still don’t know what it exactly means. His narrative is ? […]
