Adam, played by Bruno Langley, was the boy genius In DALEK and THE LONG GAME, therefore appeared in the credits

I guess I didn’t really say that very well.  I meant in the opening credits BEFORE the “Doctor Who” title card.  I wasn’t trying to include guest stars per se unless they got billing in big letters “above the title”, so to s…[Read more]

@pedant

Well, I guess that’s “an answer” for those who can’t live without one.  Like ichabod, I never really cared once Danny was removed from the chessboard.

But it’s kind of funny that Moffat would give an answer and then turn right around and say that that answer doesn’t mean anything… “Nothing is actual till it’s in the show.”

Maybe he…[Read more]

A shout-out from “THE BLACKLIST”

Their IT guy just said, (paraphrase) – “I downloaded the fourth series of Doctor Who.  Tom Baker is amazing.”

@mccottonthedoctorfan

That’s kind of what I meant when I said…

“Perhaps it’s like people who have a Doctorate who get insulted if you call them “Mr.”  Maybe she was saying that she was much more than JUST a companion.”

But my point was that I don’t think that eliminates her from ALSO being a companion.

@doctordani

On the face of it, that seems a little strange.  I mean can you imagine someone saying “She’s my wife, but she’s not my companion”? (And what if she heard you?)

You can be a companion without being a wife, but can you be a wife without being a companion?  I know that Doctor Who and River are not a conventional couple and they may n…[Read more]

“Oh, OK. I think I saw Batman when I was very young -the series and I liked it. I was about 5…”

Well, I could read before I went to school because I was reading comic books, like Batman. Even though they were pretty tame back then I still had an appreciation for the Dark Knight. When they brought it to TV I was around 10-years-old…[Read more]

“you seem really familiar to me? Do I know you?  Maybe you’re at school with me?”

LOL.  No, young man(?).  I’m much closer to the end of my race than the beginning.  Oh, to be 14 again.

“Anyway, hallo and welcome to the site. It’s good to have new members all ways . So let me extend my welcomes.”

Thank you.  I’m sorry I didn’t respond…[Read more]

Now that’s more like it.

Take a look back at my first post and see that the very next thing I know I’m being called names and being “instructed” by some *****ss about how to write posts to satisfy his ego.

(Although @puroandson did post a very nice welcome, but I’m afraid it got lost it the crossfire.  I should try to make up for that.)

@craig

Surely there must be someone on this board who isn’t a pompous a**.  Know anyone?

@fatmaninabox

Sack Moffat?!  Sacrilege.

I may not be entirely happy with the current episodes but Moffat has certainly proven his worth.

According to tardis.wikia the only mention of prostitutes has been in books and audio, with the exception that “The Next Doctors” companion, Rosita Farisi, was apparently a prostitute before she met HER D…[Read more]

Sorry, guys I would like to post deeper, more analytical arguments, but I work for a living and I’m a fan not a fanboy.

I’ll try to make more of an effort if I can find the time.

@puroandson

“no dude, you did. You said some thing along the lines of “the doctor is nuanced. Yeah right””

Congratulations!  You just won “The Silliest Reason for Flaming Someone Award”.

So expressing incredulity is some kind of insult now?  Nonsense.

“the most subtle, nuanced actor”

Oh God, I don’t even know where to begin with that one.

Does riding on a tank playing heavy metal guitar ring a bell?  I know, one example, but I don’t have time for more.

So we’ll have to agree to disagree.

I’m sorry guys, but I’m just not feeling it.

Capaldi is the most irritating Doctor since Colin Baker (maybe worse).

I like a multi-layered story but lately it’s getting ridiculous.

Clara is a most forgettable companion (pun intended).  She started out with nuance and mystery only to end with confusion and broken storylines.

She’s in love.  …[Read more]

I’ve been reviewing the old episodes because I created a “Watch list” for a newbie to give them the DW bug.

I had a couple of disappointments with this episode which probably come from being on the US side of the pond.

First the title is a spoiler.  I remember showing this episode to a friend of mine who had a passing familiarity with the…[Read more]
