    @Nick

    One of the things that interests me – greatly, as it happens – is how the passage of time can affect your view of eras of Doctor Who. At least for me.

    For reasons I have discussed elsewhere, my initial […]

    @Nick

    I guess one person’s OTT is another person’s “fully appreciate”.

    Doctor Who is an uneven palette – always was and always will be (if it is to continue).  What one person likes another doesn’t. That’s […]

    @Nick

    Not sure I see the oddness you do?

    Can you explain?

  • HTPBDET replied to the topic On the Sofa (part 2)

    @Nick

    You mean this:
    1. The return of River Song (25.9%)
    2. Two-part stories (20.1%)
    3. Series arc (11.9%)
    4. An older Doctor (11.7%)
    5. The return of Jenny, Vastra and Strax (7.4%)
    6. Some female writers […]

    No you have missed nothing.

    I have not got around to penning my thoughts – but I hope too soon.

    🙂

  • HTPBDET commented on the post, ALT-WHO – 1.4 – The Mutants

    Yes, I echo @Nick – good stuff.

    I am looking forward to you moving the reboot up a level – you clearly can – so don’t be shy!

    🙂

    I don’t think The Space Museum really helps.

    There are two solutions offered there. The Doctor speculates that the traveller’s interactions with the people they encounter […]

  • @Nick – when the Space Museum first broadcast I was very busy with complicated matters. Like managing complete sentences, though I believe I had ‘No’ and ‘Mine!’ down pat. 🙂

    @HTPBDET might be better at this […]

  • HTPBDET commented on the post, The Distinction in AG Doctor Who

    @Nick

    Of course, as a BG fan, I wanted to see the Ice Warriors again (for example). Even so I would have preferred something newer than we were given (basically a repeat of there original introduction (melting […]

  • @Nick —

    I don’t recall seeing a Time Lord actually dying in BG Who although the Master came close quite a few times

    I would suggest The Deadly Assassin as the answer to that one. The President is indeed […]

  • @Nick –

    Was this ever a fixed point in time in the first place ?

    Since time completely stopped when it was changed, I think the answer has to be a categorical ‘yes’.

    Although we don’t exactly how a Timelord can […]

  • @Nick

    I think fixed points are a matter of perspective as much as anything else

    Judging by The Wedding of River Song, fixed points are a fact of temporal physics.  That is, if you change one too much, time […]

    @nick @scaryB

    Yes – I’ve always thought it was better to have one topic which may stop and start on occasion than what would be seven topics which would probably never restart. People can back and forth in […]

  • ScaryB replied to the topic The Faces of the Doctor

    @Nick @Phaseshift

    For what it’s worth, I think it works like this – there’s been a bit of backtracking to different Drs and, yes, @HTPBDET‘s brilliant blogs on various Drs as alternative.

    The homepage has […]

  • PhaseShift replied to the topic The Faces of the Doctor

    @nick

    I honestly think that splitting the topic in the way you suggest won’t make a blind bit of difference to relative uptake. I’ve repeated myself on a few pages that people new, or just joining the […]

    SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

    @Nick

    Let’s hope so, indeed . McGann certainly deserves it.

  • ScaryB commented on the post, Running the Show – RTD v SM

    @Nick

    You know my thoughts on the above, so don’t worry, am not going to repeat myself (much)!

    I don’t really understand what your % are showing – that there are fewer appearances of daleks and cybermen post […]

  • HTPBDET commented on the post, Running the Show – RTD v SM

    @Nick

    I did not mean to suggest that we were at the end of any particular SM arc or indeed any arc…there may well be an over-reaching one – we wont know until SM leaves I expect.

    But we have had mini-arcs […]
