• What I mean is, the version we have seen over the years is has to be the final version post Clara intervention as this is was the version his personal time line was written to. For us then, nothing changed.

    @Bluesqueakpip @Nick

    Ah, this is fun 🙂  Don’t think we’ve had an in depth discussion about the TARDIS before. Kudos to whoever sneaked her on to this thread as a companion.

    Bluesqueakpip – I forgot about […]

    @Bluesqueakpip @nick @shazzbot @ScaryB

     I think it is important to work out about whom we are speaking.

    Who are the AG companions?

    For RTD,  is it Rose, Martha and Donna? Or that group plus Adam, Mickey, […]

  • @Nick – why is this TARDIS special? Two reasons. One, when the Doctor nicked her, she was in the repair shop – for repairs to her faulty navigation circuits.

    What was the fault? Well, if the ‘fault’ was that […]

    @Nick

    once this happened, it became there from the start.

    Exactly.

    It’s only our own linear perspective that makes this a problem. Everything we (the audience) has seen in the show’s 50 year history is what’s […]

    @Nick

    harder to reuse without repeating essentially the same story

    I just don’t understand how that doesn’t also apply to creatures with an “agenda”,  eg if it’s the daleks then they want to take over and […]

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

    @Bluesqueakpip Excellent analysis as ever, hope you’ve cooled down a bit. (Come up to the far  north, we’re struggling to hit 20 here)

    @Nick –

    For me the other interesting question is why RTD and SM chose to […]

  • ScaryB replied to the topic Companions past and present

    @Nick

    I’ve always told myself that we only get to see the adventures (good TV) and all those visits to other places where there nothing remarkable happens just aren’t televised. Of course the Doctor can’t go from […]

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

    I think if this is to be a Blog, we need someone to clearly state a position to start off. Potentially – what they see the differences as, and whether they are a source of concern to them. As @nick has expressed […]

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

    @Nick, @bluesqueakpip, @PhaseShift,@JimTheFish ,@Shazzbot and @everyone else!
     Not much time today – but just to throw a few bones into the pack…so to speak 🙂

    Agenda

    I cannot think of a single BG […]

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

    @Phaseshift Sorry, meant to comment on your idea re Weeping Angels being like psycopathic killers – that’s neat. Also that we may not know everything about them yet – scope for new story with them.

    @Nick Was it […]

  • @nick

    Well it’s always good to clarify these points, and in my absence, @JimTheFish and @bluesqueakpip have covered most of the points I would have raised.

    The comparison with serial killers is a good one […]

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

    @Nick

    Re all the AG stories about the end of earth/universe/all of time and space etc, and why don’t we see an effect of that after wards… apart from my response above re it’s not that kind of show – what […]

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

    @Shazzbot First rule of this forum is that given enough time we will ALWAYS ramble 😉 But we usually ramble back on topic sooner or later!

    And I do think much of @Nick‘s problems with the AG show is to do with […]

  • @Nick – yeah, sorry, I was using ‘common fan theory’ as shorthand for ‘there was always that suspicion, but it was never official’.

    By the time we were getting into the fifteenth year of the Doctor landing on […]

  • building a food warehouse (multiple food sources are better than one but I see no plan here – more opportunism).

    @Nick – general question: have you ever built anything? Or kept pets? Or had a vegetable garden?

    😉

  • @Nick – if you mean that the Angels don’t match Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, no – they don’t. They’re aliens.

    That said, they are capable of planning and building the equivalent of a food warehouse. They’re […]

  • @Nick – I don’t think making it official that the TARDIS is (sometimes) directing the Doctor’s journeys changes the direction of the show; throughout Before Gap Who that was a fairly common fan theory.

    And the […]

  • @Nick

    Agenda
    I’m not sure why this word causes such a problem

    I suspect it’s because you’re using it to mean ‘political/military agenda’ and ‘formal plan’ – and it doesn’t necessarily mean that. It means […]

  • ScaryB replied to the topic Doctor Who news

    @Nick Well spotted

    re the 50th – “movie length” but he’s not committing to exactly how long that is, LOL. Movie length is good though 🙂 Controversial plot twist – not altogether unexpected, could be a […]
