He must have been quite upset at the Doctor.   The distress calls may have been a way get the Doctor to come to that planet.   If I was going to set a trap for the Doctor then a planet that attacks the brain would be us…[Read more]

Funny how on my first viewing I didn’t notice Eric’s shirt had Slayer written in mirror image when he was on the other side of the portal.  Returned to normal once he got back to the normal side.   Nice touch.

I wonder if Ryan and Yaz will pack a lunch next time out?

When the Doctors asks you to “Be sure” then you better be sure because your next waking moment can be spent looking at the business end of a sonic mine in the final seconds before detonation.

Joy soon changed to terror when you realize the travelers are in 1950s South.

Lots of work do do still.

Most terrifying episode I have ever seen.

    Did anybody else have a bit of a reaction to how often JoDoc uses the sonic? 

I didn’t focus on how often it was used as much as HOW it was used.   As the end of the episode grew near, I began to wonder which mode she would use each time she pulled it of her pocket.  Seems like it has at least two modes……(1.)going to poke a wil…[Read more]

The contestants just needed to arrive at the Ghost Monument site.  Viewing the monument wasn’t required.

What do you mean by intro segment?

 

Not it sure what to call it exactly……Title Sequence maybe?

The bit that is played right after the opening scene of each episode.   Usually a tune, with a video representation of moving though space-time…..during which the TARDIS appears at some point.

Bit of adrenalin …

Dash of outrage…

Heat of panic…

Nice batch of ingredients.

Yep – and since the Clara tribute was still on it, we can deduce that it was carried to Nevada, rather then went under its own steam.

Agreed.  Well deduced.

Taking that thought a bit further….I presume Clara must have been very moved to see the tribute left on the outside of the tardis.   She no doubt would have known exactly who did…[Read more]

@swordwhale

I wonder where they filmed “Nevada”. Maybe a CG wild west was easier than actually going there. Also nobody here drives… whatever that “truck” was. Looks like a mutant Landrover.

Conspiracy theory after watching HB tonight
The Doctor left the sonic glasses on the console on purpose knowing Clara
would watch on the screen, He also left the mind wiper there. He set it up?
He figured out that he had to part from Clara. So was he making it easier for
her? Seems to me that he really didn’t loose a lot of his memory. I r…
