@nick:

As we say, just speculation.

@mirime:  I’ve only watched it once but didn’t he say ‘this is the other last of the Time Lords’

Yes he did.

@miapatrick:

Good point, but we are watching an episode written by Toby Whithouse, not Moffat, so who nose?

@missrori: Clara wasn’t immune to comments about her appearance in Series 8!

@Nick @Mirime  That bedroom… (2001ASO)

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@nick could well be, but I’ve seen that once and it was 20 years ago while Deus Ex is one of my obsessions hobbies!

@missrori

All that’s certain is that the execution that wasn’t was “A long time ago” — at least from the Doctor’s perspective.

Unfortunately “A long time ago” doesn’t mean a lot for a time traveller. It seems to have been at least 70 years, which by itself would be a long time for Missy to be in solitary confinement- not the best way to foste…[Read more]

I agree with @Nick ! If a ‘Mod’ could move 2nd vid to approved spoilers or just delete it I’d appreciate it…

I’m more awake now! (That wouldn’t be difficult)

I haven’t read the last two pages of posts yet, so apologies if I’m going over old ground…

@Nick    I’m not sure that any citizens were actually killed during those 3 months (it seemed in ‘Pyramid’ that the Monks could be ‘merciful’ and perhaps only killed to gain consent). Although what…[Read more]

@nick “that also means that D12 and D3 both spent several years living on Earth at the same time”

Hah!  That’s a great thought! 😀  I wonder if that’s how UNIT got their decades confused.

@ichabod I also really liked the episode and I generally like the volatility of this Doctor. I think for me it was just a problem with the particular scene involving shooting. As <span class=”useratname”>@nick mentions earlier, the Doctor specifically told Nardole that he is teaching Bill and what he taught her here is that sometimes the best…[Read more]

@missrori  I think what Moffat and co. meant about Bill not being “special” was that she does not enter the story as having some great mystery surrounding her, as Amy Pond did with the crack in her bedroom, or Clara Oswald did with her multiple lives.

Yes, you’re right — and thanks for that post, it’s really right on the mark (especially that…[Read more]

@nick I guess I’m thinking that we can’t take anything we’ve heard this season to be completely accurate.  But rather smeared through the Doctor’s hazy perspective.

The repeated notions of reality not being reality and things remembered not being what they really were lends some weight to this.

For instance, for all we know, Bill knows all…[Read more]
