@OsakaHatter Suitably bonkers! However, I think that your theory would require the participation of Eccleston, to return at end of episode to replace Hurt. Come to think of it…Jenna Coleman was kept under wraps before Asylum, so who knows?

@OsakaHatter

Always felt those bowed Time Lords were a plot line that needed some exploration in the End of Time specials, they seemed too tied to that plot to leave hanging.

There were a few of those I seem to recall…

@OsakaHatter

Presumably, as D11 has already witnessed these events once (when still D10) and remembers, he will somehow alter them, breaking out of the loop.

In the past when there have been mutli-Doctor stories, the TL’s have been there to help and avoid any paradoxes. They are not there now so this could all become very messy: D11 should have…[Read more]

Some interesting thoughts on here, and thanks @Blenkinsopthebrave in particular for eloquently expressing what we’re about.

One thing @Craig has always stressed is that it is about “we” ie EVERYONE who is a current user of the site has a right to state an opinion about it (so long  as it’s civil and not trolly). The “flavour” of the site changes…[Read more]

I like the idea of  a trinity of past, present and future Docs on screen together

So do I. Reading the recent posts, and fortified by a morning espresso, I just re-watched parts of “The Name of the Doctor”, and I think it is entirely possible that the Hurt Doctor is not only a future Doctor, but the LAST Doctor–the Doctor that the…[Read more]

@Osakahatter

Yes, Hurt could be a future Doctor (between Smith and Capaldi say). The only substantive objection I’m aware of (bound to be others though) is that D11 refers to him in the past tense. This and the apparent link to the Time War lends itself to a pre-11 setting better than a post 11. That said, I’m always (probably) going to have…[Read more]

@osakahatter @d12345

Excellent analysis. I’m don’t really agree about this:

I do like the Doctor-Zero theories, mainly because the Doctor 8.5 concept has never felt right for me

I’m in the other camp on that one. I find D0 concept hard to believe as the Hartnell Doctor seems so lost at the beginning. To me he has little practical experience in…[Read more]

@OsakaHatter and @TimeLoop Thank you both very much. Change is always a bit worrying, but glad you think I’ve got it reasonably right.

@Shazzbot @ScaryB @OsakaHatter @TardisBlue @Bluesqueakpip @JimTheFish @Blenkinsopthebrave

and everyone else.

So I spent most of yesterday evening building a new sidebar widget that combines all recent activity together – forum posts and blog posts and comments. It’s basically a simplified version of the Activity page.

I’ve therefore taken the…[Read more]

@Shazzbot @ScaryB @OsakaHatter @TardisBlue @Bluesqueakpip @JimTheFish

Hi all, I am in two minds about shortening the Recent forum posts sidebar, but I thought I’d try it and see if people can live with it. If not I will of course lengthen it again. Despite my new title I’m in no way a dictator.

The length was fine before we had blogs, but now…[Read more]

@Osakahatter and @Shazzbot

Yay! Well done Mr Hatter.  And yes, good idea re liveblogging in the Rose & Crown.  I can theoretically do it on my phone – may have the hang of it by then.  Am sure @Craig or someone will have the necessary tech. Then we can be virtually here, and there, and the same time 🙂

PS So long as it isn’t pics Wh…[Read more]

@OsakaHatter – glad you got some!

@OsakaHatter

Yip most of your points have crossed my mind too. Actually I rather think most of the 450 D2 years sat with D1’s incarnations, before he got involved with the universe.

I certainly think its […]

@OsakaHatter

Hi there. My idea was a bit less subtle than that. My thinking was that once in the time line, Clara volunteers to look after all of the TimeLord Children for the Doctor, therefore creating two […]

@Shazzbot @OsakaHatter

Hi there. These are my thoughts on this thorny subject (as of today; I promise to change my mind tomorrow and I blame the sheer number of bonkers ideas I’ve read on here. I also don’t […]
