I love the idea of the rehabilitation of Gallifrey being the Doctor’s actual challenge, rather than just finding it and/or bringing it back. It will be a new approach to Gallifrey story lines, which I think would be needed in light of earlier discussions about the Time Lords and their history. And it could…[Read more]

On Doctor numbering: In my mind, the numbers of the doctors, like names, have become so intrinsically linked to their faces and personalities that I doubt I could separate them now. When I think “Ninth Doctor”, I see Eccelston and all his swagger, and “Tenth Doctor” brings up the emoti…[Read more]

I guess if they could send the energy through the crack why couldn’t they have just gone through the crack themselves?

Perhaps they could have, but they knew it wasn’t safe to do so – hence calling for the Doctor.  He’s their man on the outside, waiting to let them know when it’s safe to come out.  This does suggest that the s…[Read more]

@Phaseshift – Yes, your On the Sofa comment inspired me to watch it! It’s great!

I was particularly happy that the stereotypical “markers” for “female” in animation, such as boobs or long-eyelashes were totally absent from EVE. She was a scary mo-fo 🙂 The musical score was marvellous too.

I haven’t read @Cathannabel ‘s blog yet – but I wil…[Read more]

I was looking thro the blogs for @Phaseshift‘s brilliant rundown on the morals of the Time Lords – but I can’t find it now 🙁  But safe to say they’ve never been a particularly reputable or trustworthy bunch – and generally get worse every time we’ve seen them. All that (almost) absolute power n stuff.

But I agree – they’re now available if…[Read more]

@Phaseshift – TV suggestions – seconding, thirding, fourthing…. SPACED!! (How could I forget 🙁  )

Cheers everyone.

We are 1 – woo-who!

Couldn’t put it better than @Juniperfish (both red and blue fins, with extra sparkles 😉 ) and @Phaseshift have already said… except – maybe we should head for the pub (before Emperor @Craig gets grumpy about the spilled drinks all over the web!)

Thanks everyone, it’s been a great year. Coffee and alcohol…[Read more]

Seconded! The Doctor Who Forum has almost 1000 members and many more out there glancing at the pages.

Thanks so much @Craig and mods @Shazzbot @Fatmaninabox @Phaseshift @JimtheFish (any others?) and everyone who uploads content and musings!

From @Bluesqueakpip ‘s diagrams to @Wolfweed ‘s crazy captions and carefully sourced fan art  to @ScaryB an…[Read more]

Happy Birthday to us.

Well done, Craig (and all mods, past and present) and thank you for all your hard work in the past year.

Nice front page, Craig and @PhaseShift. 🙂

@BESD1     @Phaseshift     “It does seem to suggest that the Time Lords (and Doctors) fears about them being frozen in that moment in an alternative Universe were unfounded. Time seems to play out at some pace on the other side.” Or is the question looped over again because the Time Lords are frozen in a discrete slice of time during which they ca…[Read more]

Really, guys, I was only away for three days. Whilst I was communing with my sister arbutus trees during the day, and enjoying lots of lovely pinot noir in the evening, you all were going crazy on here. I expect that it will take me until 2014 to get caught up.  🙂

@PhaseShift     The Doctor had previously stated in the Doctor 10 Cybermen two…[Read more]

@Phaseshift  re “brilliant and bonkers” <laughs fishily> 🙂 Well, we have to live up to our by-line, right?

@Purofilion and @ScaryB glad you enjoyed it!

What some of our dear participants seem to be missing, is that fan speculation is a form of play. And play is such an important part of being fully alive, whatever age you are. The Doctor w…[Read more]

@PhaseShift

Sounds like a plan!! I was going to suggest something like that myself but didn’t want you all to think I was getting ideas above my station 😉

I’ve got a few ideas on how Moffat might want to run with it but I’ll save those for the new thread!!

Hey guys,

many things have been already said. that’s what happens if you take your time.

Let’s see if I can add some new aspects:

According to the last episode we saw the Doctor was absolutely bluffing in Nightmare in Silver. He could have not got rid of Mr. Clever. (Maybe that is what he kept hidden together with Hurt) with a…[Read more]

@Juniperfish @Bluesqueakpip

I am completely in awe of you both!

And delighted that the Egyptian myths, dual timestreams and rebirth into a new cycle theories have made it through.(I’m also delighted that we (haha – royal “we” is great) continue to more than live up to our collective strapline. And yet… both of you hook your theories so…[Read more]

@Phaseshift

I second @Blenkinsopthebrave‘s vote for Strax as avatar of the month for January 😉 (1st birthday, pushing 1000 members and over 20k posts… whatever did we find to talk about?! Thanks everyone (and especially @Craig for actually doing it), it’s been a blast!)

@Cathannabel Glad you managed to get access to a TARDIS so you could…[Read more]
