Love the photo! It certainly gets my vote for the image to celebrate for out first birthday.

Wow. A year…

I can think of someone who really deserves a birthday present for that date… @Craig, without whom none of us would have had a year of bonkers theorising in this wonderfully warm bath.

@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 can act (to find…[Read more]

@Craig, @PhaseShift, @JimtheFish, @FatManInABox

Dear Time Lords, I know you are out there, behind the crack in the universe.

I wonder if it would be possible to change the image of Matt Smith, now that he has gone?

Since it may be too early to feature Capaldi, and since the show (and our discussion) is about all the Doctors, would there be a…[Read more]

Excellent call @PhaseShift, I hadn’t made the Shining connection, but I would be v v surprised if that wasn’t lurking somewhere in the background when the Angels were dreamed up.

@Bluesqueakpip @PhaseShift

I’ve not but I will do now!! Thanks for the heads up!

@FiveRoundsRapid – have you taken a look at @PhaseShift‘s blog post on the topic?

@ardaraith     Just because the Doctor says (believes, hopes, wishes?) that the Time Lords will return in peace, doesn’t mean that they will!

@PhaseShift     The pleading by Clara about “loving him” (surely a “LOL” moment on the other side of the crack)     Hahaha!

The only jarring thing slightly was the voice, but we can’t do much about tha…[Read more]

@Phaseshift

I agree with you re not asking for extra regenerations. We’ve commented before about how wrong that would be.  And that in contrast to Tennant’s “I don’t want to go”, Smith’s Doctor is the one who is resigned to actually dying, never mind regenerating.

I had a quick look on the Graun board, but couldn’t bear more than the first half…[Read more]

“I’ve lived over 1100 years, I must have drunk wine at some point”

@PhaseShift OMG your Floyd post is so dead on, can anyone get hold of Matt Smith to verify?!

Hi @Phaseshift – good memory! and yes, he’s partnered with The Actor Kevin Eldon.

Also in that episode – John Simms!

(as well as a Dredd poster!)

🙂

Hi @Phaseshift (and everyone else!).

In terms of post xmas / NY tv viewing, all those sound good. Never did get to see any of those shows for a long period (just a few before inevitably trailing off).

Another comedy that could work is Spaced (too many Who-related people to mention). I happened to randomly catch an episode last night and raised a…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave     They may well be in a cup-o-soup waiting to be discovered, but they may also be able to communicate through the crack.     Yes, that is certainly possible, especially when considering that the mystery woman in The End of Time was able to appear to Wilf.

I agree with everyone who has pointed out that there are lots of poss…[Read more]

Nice summing up and speculation by @Phaseshift and @Bluesqueakpip in particular.

We’ve been saying since this forum started that we suspected we might see a mighty reboot his year.  I would not be at all surprised if we go back to the crack as @Blenkinsopthebrave says. The thing I like most about Moffat’s reboots (so far!) is that everything…[Read more]

I am afraid that I haven’t “been around”, @PhaseShift. Like @MartyB, I am desperately housecleaning before the in-laws descend upon us. (the horror, the horror) and finishing off the hand made Yuletide cards. I second @Blenkinsopthebrave‘s suggestions “re Babylon Five. I don’t think there is any I would add, except perhaps And Now For a Word s2…[Read more]

Some great ideas here.

@PhaseShift     Oh, he’ll complain about the end when it comes, and is in no hurry to jump the queue, but actually seek it an extension? I doubt it somehow. It would put him with the crazy people.     Perfectly said. I agree that it the doctor seeking immortality or anything like it just doesn’t seem very “doctor…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave,@phaseshift and @bluesqueakpip I have read your posts with great interest.I agree having David Bradley “reprise” his role as the Hartnell doctor would be an incredible nice touch, especially if they are going to revise or break the 12 regeneration rule it would be interesting if they could “involve” the first doctor in the…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip

Gallifrey is now a fairy-tale kingdom frozen in time, waiting for the Doctor/’prince’ to fight his way through and reawaken it.

That is a lovely way of expressing it. And yes, I think that is precisely what season 8, 9, 10, etc, will be.

I also agree with @Phaseshift that the Time Lords won’t grant The Doctor a new set of r…[Read more]

@PhaseShift – of course there’ll be explosions. Everything’s better with explosions. 🙂

I dunno whether they’re going to put him as ‘no. 13’ somehow, but I’ll continue to go with my ‘meta-arc’ theory that Matt Smith is the last of the Classic Doctors. We’ve recapped the classic series and Day of The Doctor has recapped the moment just before the…[Read more]

@PhaseShift

Now that I think about, perhaps the perfect entry point for the show was the TV movie, Babylon 5: In the Beginning made near the end of the run. I haven’t seen it in years, though, and am not sure how hard it is to get. In fact, I may have had a long-lost VHS copy. If so, I must rectify this omission immediately!
