@PhileasF Thanks for the screengrabs. Very interesting!

@Margaret-Blaine Don’t let the odd post-scramble put you off posting. It happens occasionally, don’t know why. (Welcome to the dark (water) side 😉 )

@jack Re Dr Sarkosa – he would appear to be dead and cyberised – see the inscription on the skeleton-case in his office

@phaseshift There’s no way you could get me in a dress, even for charity. I had to cross-dress for charity once, but even after much persuasion I only went as far as wearing a blouse and a hair band (even then I still acted like a miserable git about it). I guess I’m just a bit of a stick in the mud like that.
Or maybe I just don’t like showing…[Read more]

@Phaseshift @JimtheFish @Craig Yes PLEASE to the calendar . It could be Master/ Doctor themed featuring (a different) Missy with each of the twelve docs. I’ll get my Fourth costume together 🙂

@Serahni

Well, apparently The Doctor has a patch that makes her dream so vividly, she thinks it’s reality.  >.>  That might be…important

Yes, it might…[Read more]

Well, that was quite, quite splendid. Quite traditional finale territory in many ways, after a series that I think has taken some admirable risks and twists and turns. But lots of moments of real darkness here too. This is real assured stuff — SM writing at the height of his powers and I think with even more  elan than The Day of the Doctor. How…[Read more]

@miapatrick

Different phone call…?  I didn’t pick up on that 🙁  Are you saying that because of the post-it notes? (Will need to rewatch)

One thing that has slipped down our collective awareness – well mine at least, and it’s just occurred to me – Missy’s “Clara, my Clara…” hasn’t been explained yet. (Tho at least there was an explanation a…[Read more]

@Phaseshift I too am looking forward to the pics of the Mary Poppins outfit. Just think of all the fun you can have with wigs as well. And the Master/ Doctor snog photos, across all twelve incarnations, which will now pervade conventions.

@Spider I liked your journey to acceptance 🙂

Looking forward to finding out how the Master escaped the…[Read more]

@PhaseShift  Totally agree. I wish I could have watched that episode without knowing it WAS going to be Cybermen. It lost a lot of the impact. Although seeing the cybermen slowly being revealed over the skeletons was very, very creepy.

Ah. Earthshock. Probably THE defining moment in my early years of watching Doctor Who!

((;;/)/)

@PhaseShift I you haven’t already bought a Mary Poppins outfit I’m going to be disappointed 😉 In fact I bet you are wearing it right now! XD

((;;/)/)

@Bluesqueakpip

Re Orson – further to my post above, and what you were saying about Danny already having a family – if he doesn’t and Orson is his child, but not born yet, does that not create a paradox with the gunless soldier being given to the young Dr, as it came from Orson to Clara?

@Phaseshift We demand pics of you cross-dressing 😉 (And…[Read more]

Well, well, a long overdue Doctor/ Master snog… some corners of the fan fiction universe will be beside themselves with delight and others… not. Moffat is a ridiculous troll sometimes – he’s just waiting for all the forums to explode one way or another 🙂

And @Phaseshift I think you can congratulate yourself on the raised from the dead…[Read more]

@Phaseshift

Some people are really going to hate this.

Is it really bad of me to find that roll-on-floor funny 😆

I thought it was audacious, brimming with confidence and very emotional.

And I’m glad it’s presumably not Gaiman’s instant-upgrade cybermen. Much as I loved them in lots of ways, it’s a bit of a writer’s dead-end.

Possibly my…[Read more]

@PhaseShift

But here you are, boring me already. Go away…watch this series, the one you’ve been commenting on, the ONE WITH CLARA, and then report back.

Because I wrote:

But as I didn’t watch anything beyond Clara’s debut, then I’m probably not in a position to surmise…

The line to which you take offence is an adjunct, something I overlooked…[Read more]

Evening all,

@PhaseShift – I also noticed the wolves and tiger in the museum and then, later, the predators in the forest happen to be wolves and a tiger. It seems a strange coincidence, but then it could be just a coincidence. But the closer I look at this episode the more I get a sense of someone making this up (or parts of it, at least) as…[Read more]

I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this, but I swear the voice-over for the Voice of the Trees is Michael Sheen, the voice of House.

@PhaseShift – ‘We are the Life that Prevails’, fitting in with Dalek Rusty’s Road-to-Damascus moment of ‘Life … prevails.’

@devilishrobby “For this reason in my personal opinion it can be forgiven for straying from factual science. ”

I’ll refer you to @BadWulf on this – basically saved me a lot of typing, so thanks.

@phaseshift “And it seems the lost (and perhaps dead), are starting to return”

Brilliant – it hadn’t occurred to me that Annabel might have returned…[Read more]

Ok – found some time this evening (night) and listened to all the great stuff people had posted (thanks from me let alone all the other lurkes out there hungry for great music!).

And, as I may have spotted a trend of post-ers posting to a thread and then next to the Spoilers thread, I’m even scared a little of reading an threads in case anyone…[Read more]

@Craig, @fatmanInABox, @PhaseShift

The post above needs to be edited to remove the spoilers that mention the trailer.

I absolutely loved it!  I’m surprised by the amount of  negative comment.  ‘Rewilding’ is quite a theme just now in ecology, so it was wonderful visually to see that concept of London taken over by giant forest (and a shame, IMHO, so see it disappear just as quickly – I’d like to see the forest stay, and people learn to live with the forest and th…[Read more]
