SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

great song @pedant – it will shock and sadden you to know that I’d never heard it before!

:¬o

As for World Enough and Time…

Well I’m still flogging this horse if no one else is(!) but is this too obvious a Bowie link?

;¬)

Well, just to throw in my tuppence…

Loved it!

Overall I loved it (Rachel Talalay and Moffat seem to be a great team), but I also loved details like the tear-shape on rim of the eye hole that echoes the later designs and the Master’s ripping his mask off like an old villain (that would actually not happen like that with the actual makeup!!)…[Read more]

@JimTheFish many thanks. I was at friends in Cambridgeshire yesterday and have only just got back. @Pedant @thane15 @rorysmith @devilishrobby et al, I will keep an eye on it but feeding the troll now would probably do more harm than good.

But it is noted.

@pedant

Yes in that case, Moff made them all forget (something due to the regeneration wasnt it ?). However, as a general explanation it doesn’t work in any of the BG multi-Doctor specials.

@pedant 40 lashes with a wet noodle for me, sorry.

Yeah, I know the show traumatizing kids is a beloved tradition at this point (as seen in last year’s BBC Christmas advert!) but there’s no justification Bill has to “die” for real if everybody else gets wiggle room.  She’s suffered enough and so has this Doctor.  😉  Besides, this Doctor’s ne…[Read more]

@nerys  @blenkinsopthebrave  Agreed; self-doubt rooted in a lively self-awareness that I don’t recall seeing much of in previous AG Doctors.  I get the sense of a very complex and sensitive subjectivity in this Doctor, and that’s part of both the hesitance and the impulsiveness that I see there.

@wolfweed  Old lady: I already knew that bec…[Read more]

@thane15  So, do you regard the Doctor and Bill’s reunion as a happy thing for them, talking about the good and bad things in his lives?  He kept his promise to protect her within reason…and they could be together forever now, as I noted.  She can still feel, and he can heal her pain by giving her all the wonders of the universe, and helping he…[Read more]

@pedant   I had no idea it was such a contentious issue! That’ll teach me not to trust everything I Google…

That video should be included on the series 10 boxset! Love it.

Moffat is hereby pardoned & can roam free to finish episode 12!

@pedant

I’m sure regen energy could repair Bill. I couldnt tell if the face in the window was Heather or not. Nice idea though 🙂

@Missy @Pedant I get an email every time someone posts on this thread, for obvious reasons. And I got Missy’s this morning.

I don’t know what to suggest Pedant, maybe check your junk folder or allow the site URL. It may be the case that one message with a lot of links in it activated your spam filter.

Hope you get this!

To everyone else, please…[Read more]

@pedant I thought the British Labour Party was escaping from its neo-liberalism straight jacket and re embracing some of those fifties socialist values and it was that ditching of Blairism and picking up of some Clement Attlee values that helped swing the election. Of course not all fifties values were good and neither was every idea of the Attlee…[Read more]

@pedant Very good. Thank you for the reminder!

@pedant I just got a notification regarding your comment of notifications not coming through, so it may just be you. But everyone, please let me know if there is a problem.

@bluesqueakpip @pedant

None of my business (other than its an interesting debate, which I recall from earlier). When scientists (at least some depending on the discipline) talk about proof, they also take the precision of the result into account.The experiment has not only to be replicable, but the outcome also has to be measured accurately.

As…[Read more]

@pedant

See the answer I gave some moments ago

Which explains hypothesis testing quite nicely. But you are missing the essential point: hypothesis testing requires repeatable events. If your event is not repeatable then you are left with its effects; you can’t investigate it directly.

And you will know that you had inadequate information…

@pedant  Poor Doctor’s headed for tragedy.  Hope is a terrible thing on the scaffold, and he’ll be on it soon.  Be brave, be brave!  😉

This was a lovely episode, probably the best overall since “Extremis” wrapped up the season’s first half.  And the ending is a nice lead into next week’s vale of sorrows.

@pedant: As Osgood said: “Oh god, so it was.” He also said “I’m having a bit of trouble.” Lawks he was funny, nut irritates me now. Thank you for that.

@cathannabel:  Nice one.

Missy

@pedant Thank you – it means a lot to me that you like it.

@pedant:

Really? What a shame. Definitely the best Science Fiction programme after the Doctor.

Thanks for that.

@wolfweed.

Many thanks!

Why is Cardiff so far away – not fair.

Missy

p.s. Had a look at the Experience,  gawd I’d’ve loved to go.  I wonder if they sold MR HUFFLE in the shop?
