I have a new bonkers theory, back in Before the Flood when the Doctor was talking to O’Donnell, while Bennett’s prawn sandwich is repeating on him, they talk about how she was demoted for dangling someone out a window in anger. This struck me as an odd thing to say, it could have been just a throw away comment, but what if O’Donnell was a Zygon…[Read more]

a quick thanks to @craig for posting the link to the scripts. I’m going to enjoy reading them, 🙂

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@JimTheFish re the horned helmets and electric eels being deliberate. I thought so too, and also thought this may have been happening last season too.

I enjoyed this episode a lot, as I did the last one – I just never got round to posting about it. Very interesting conversations between the Doctor and Clara, (in both episodes) – the tension between them was rather taught at times. She’s still seems to be pushing him about something and he still seems to be wavering between yay and nay. I’m…[Read more]

@Craig I was aware of that. But, you’re right, it’s not going to be anything so obvious. 🙂

@FatManInABox it could be that the words refer to other celestial objects, so ‘dark’ could mean a nebula, black hole or a dark matter object and in that case they could be co-ordinates – in the area of the black hole and temple constellation – kind of thing.

@Mudlark yes, I think you are right in that it seems unlikely that the Doctor’s expl…[Read more]

@Craig well, if you’re going to turn me into a Borg, I want some say on the upgrades thanks. 😀

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@Craig  you posted that while I was typing up my previous post, lol

Another great episode.

A theme of people dying but turning out to not be seems to be developing, assuming the Doctor isn’t dead.

I also thought the Doctor’s and Clara’s exchange about Danny was interesting, I’ve only seen this episode once so will need to make sure about this, but I did wonder if Clara’s tension was not simply her not being over…[Read more]

@Mudlark agreed, I think it was a metaphor Missy would have gotten as well.

@Juniperfish it seems he will continue to struggle till he finds Gallifrey, remember his reaction when he went to the co-ordinates Missy gave him and nothing was there. The TARDIS console got quite a beating – poor Sexy.

@purofilion yes, back after the summer hols and…[Read more]

Ok, so this is my takeaway from the two episodes.

The Doctor’s method of escape that Missy also used to get her and Clara away from the Daleks may also explain how the Doctor knew she wasn’t dead. We see the Brigadier blast Missy and that may have been the energy source she used to escape and the Doctor realized what she’d done.

Now, for some…[Read more]

Another great episode, so much to think about. I’ve only done 1 viewing so don’t want to comment yet. The things that I noted on my 1st watch have already been brought up.

@Juniperfish I agree, it was really creepy to see Clara inside the Dalek. Took a while for the penny to drop with the Doctor that Clara was inside the Dalek.

@Phaseshift I li…[Read more]

Ok, one last bonkers theory before tonight’s episode. We have a medieval arena and Colony Sarf comes in and throws down the sonic screwdriver – I thought of it as a kind of throwing down the gauntlet, a challenge to the Doctor. But, what if the Doctor saved boy Davros and now adult Davros, who is dying, wants to return the favour and help the…[Read more]
