Too good to resist…

I think I may have squeed a bit.

Bizarre.

The Doctor didn’t save Clara because Clara told him not to, which is what made it so devastating – that she faced the raven like a Boss. But it was also obvious that Clara’s story wasn’t done because it was obvious that Moffat would end it it on “Run you clever boy” (c/w “Raggedy man; goodbye”). And…[Read more]

Do you have Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s Cosmos on Oz Netflix? It is a remake and update of Carl Sagan’s original. One of the episodes has a very clear explanation of relativity (although the standout episodes are the one about the forgotten women of astronomy and then the one where Clair Patterson set about trying establish the age of the…[Read more]

That is a masterclass in equivocation. Very good.

@mudlark @nick

Could have made for some very cool visual effects.

@brewski @thane15

A continuity error would be something like a piece of costume appearing and disappearing from a character throughout a scene.

I may be recalling badly, but at 120 miles orbit, time passes relatively “quicker” by a very small amount than on earth. I think the measured difference is equivalent to 1 second over about 80 days compared to earth orbit.

It has also bee…[Read more]

The TARDIS seems to know where everyone and everything must end up, it seems.

Oh can everyone stop taking this so fucking literally. When Sexy said it it was a little brag, more for the polemic poetry than the mechanics. Almost as bad as the literal reading of River and The Doctor “meeting in reverse”. Never. Meant. Literally.

And the…[Read more]

Yep – it was clearly explained in text that the Hybrid was the gestalt entity that had become more than the just sum of Doctor + Companion. After dancing around various definition, when Ashildr posited this the Doctor immediately accepted it and immediately knew what he has to do. Clara promptly chucked a spanner in the works but did not…[Read more]
