The dead have already been burried, but they rise as cyber men, so we’re they burried as cyber men? Were they dug up?

As @Phaseshift says the clouds were nano clouds – sort of anti-nice-tree-thingies – and it was spelt out that the tiniest part of cyberman can start conversion.

They had to bring something in at the end to shine just a glimmer of hope. Even evil Moffat, who KILLED OSGOOD (the audience avatar as @ABXY pointed out!) and is making us wait for WEEKS, couldn’t leave Clara and the Doctor as such broken souls. Would have been just too bleak to bear. (And I love that it was Santa not Father Christmas. Would have…[Read more]

@PhaseShift Is “join us” a reference to The Evil Dead?

@phaseshift

He said in an interview I once posted that the Doctor could never be an older actor again. One season of the show would kill him. Peter Capaldi still lives.

But one season with RTD might well have killed him – though I genuinely don’t mean that in a nasty way. RTD thinks script first. Actors perform the script as written. If RTD…[Read more]

@Arbutus Thank you *does little happy yeti skip!*

And look at this series.

If they’d announced prior to it running that there would have been a female Master there would have been uproar. I’m not saying there wasn’t a bit anyway, but it was very much tempered by admiration for Gomez’s performance. (That’s what I meant in an earlier comment about…[Read more]

@Barnable    The Doctor is re-coding DNA into Computer Code on the chalkboards.   This is a very cool idea!

@JimTheFish   Well said. I will admit that I’m not really warm to the idea of a female Doctor. But that’s a personal response, not really supported by the facts. I actually find that I can never really envision how anyone will work as th…[Read more]

@burrunjor @JimtheFish @Phaseshift @Whisht

Interesting discussion.

I’ve been watching the show since 1963, and have gone thro various degrees of ARSE* along the way. I was upset when Susan left FFS! And then the Hartnell/Troughton change. How dare they change my fave programme! The Doctor should be old!! Then I watched Troughton’s first story – < …[Read more]

@burrunjor

Like I said imagine that in reverse imagine a female hero who constantly needed her male companion to save her and needed a man to keep her sane people would find it offensive.

I never once said that those characters were defined by their gender

Actually, you’re still doing it. What I’d say RTD and SM have done is display the…[Read more]

Been catching up with the oh so many posts. So much good chat, haven’t quite got my head round all the current bonkers.

I had barely recovered from almost snorting beer out my nose at @Phaseshift ‘letter to the BBC’ about trolls when I then came across the post from @Whisht and well, lets just say I wishI had some sort of respiratory bypass…[Read more]

I’m still stuck on the idea that Clara is the Doctor and Missy’s kid in some timey-wimey manner 🙂

I also still like the idea that somehow she’s already dead. It fits with the underworld theme.

@Phaseshift Lol at your letter and yes, I’d be delighted to dress-up for the calendar too in a long and multi-coloured scarf.

@JimtheFish I agree that…[Read more]

Well, really. I step out for a few short hours to watch a volleyball match, and someone leaves the screen door open and lets the trolls in. Seriously, are there no responsible adults present?    🙂

But there’s still @PhaseShift, whose eloquent letter really says it all. And @lisa‘s bonkers speculation on the meaning of post-it notes!

I agree wi…[Read more]

Still haven’t rewatched the episode so nothing new to add in terms of theories. (I am waiting until our youngest returns from a school trip as he left Sunday morning.)

@JimTheFish I have the article open but haven’t read it yet or responded but I will certainly recommend your post.

@Bluesqueakpip I agree with you and @Dr Ben re’ the pregnancy…[Read more]

Ooooh, lots of lovely juicy theories, thanks everyone.

@Lisa and others – Post-it notes

Well obviously Clara has stumbled into Steven Moffat’s workroom by mistake and is faced with massive spoilers of her own life, predestination paradoxes and a sneaky paranoia that she is being watched. And possibly controlled by an unseen presence! 😉

For…[Read more]

I just has a additional bit of a theory to tag onto my above post- So if Missy does decide to help
the Doctor it might be because she wants to steal the Tardis- maybe that was the ploy to use Clara ?
Part of what is going on with the post-its maybe is that Clara realizes some stuff about her
journey/existance and she is extracting the bits…[Read more]

I’ve taken the liberty of scrawling a note addressed to the BBC complaints department. I hope people who agree with it will print it out, add their signature, and do the decent thing.

Dear BBC

I write to complain in the strongest possible terms about Doctor Who Latest “Series 8”.

Frankly, Peter Capladi, as the protagonist, Doctor Who (…

@phaseshift

Ah.

Well the truth is, I’m looking for fans of Dr. Who that are willing to answer a couple questions for a questionnaire I’m distributing on web forums.

It’s for a Mass Media class I’m taking and I’m focusing on Television fandoms (whovians, bronies, trekkies, whatever the heck a game of thrones fan is called) for this particular…[Read more]

@pollo20x6

How do I post topics on this website?

You don’t mate. You post topics on Digital Spy, over here, which welcomles thousands of duplicate “OPs” posting alterntive takes on the same subject. Because your point of view will be so important to fandom, and deserve numerous followers or arguers to validate your own weak point of view. The rest…[Read more]

Cheers @PhaseShift I have some even more scary pics! Always up for alcohol. Alcohol and dresses. 😀

I’ve so far seen the episode only once an will defenitly have a rewatch before saturday (get here already!!). also i haven’t had the time to read through all of your posts, working on it, but I got impatient ;D

I really enyoed it. it had me on the edge of my sofa, simply because I can’t wait to fu**ing know everything ALREADY! which I probably…[Read more]

And thanks to @Arbutus and @purofilion for the Orfeo links and info

@Craig was close to getting my track of the week for Heaven but I think @Whisht‘s Stevie Wonder Misstra Know it All trumps it for the title alone!

(I was going to post Don’t Fear the Reaper but @Phaseshift beat me to it several weeks ago! The “Another 40, 000 coming everyday……[Read more]
