Hi @whisht All kudos for the egg whisk of Rassilon belong to @phaseshift, not me. I am still stumped on that one. I suppose my current theory is either the 13th Doctor, or the 1st Doctor, but basically I am waiting for another clue.

Sorry for the delay…

@pedant – I’m not surprised. Hope the dog’s OK.

@missy – Oh(!) what a night!

@phaseshift  – Yes! ‘It’s about time!’

@blenkinsopthebrave – Thanks – It’s great to be back.

@thane15 (& Puro) – Thanks for the welcome back. Hope you are both well.

Howdy again to everyone else (too many too mention)…

@Phaseshift – that is a great version of the Passenger! Not heard that version before!

I got to Bowie too but via a different route. After people here mentioned The Lodger I went back to his album to have a listen and see if anything there useful for bonkerising.

Its not a favourite of mine in any way, so here’s the only one worth smiling about…[Read more]

phew !

LOTS of great comments – and far to many names to @ back to but really loved reading all your thoughts.

I’ve only seen it the once (last night) and will re-watch now that I’m armed with what you’ve all seen, but some thoughts…

If my memory from last night is not faulty… I loved how Bill got into danger in the end, ignored the…[Read more]

@thane15  I am *so* glad to hear that your mum is doing better — have never forgotten her comment here that she’d be, er, tits up in a matter of months, so the doctors said, yet here she is still!  That’s great news.

And in one sense I’m in a similar situation to hers — I’ve bought S10 through iTunes, downloaded it today, and got — only the s…[Read more]

@phaseshift I was thinking along the same lines, but more proof that IT IS the same species, or at least  the same group motivated by the same end, is the landing scorch marks match the pattern of the machine in ‘The Lodger’ not to mention the rot in Craig’s wall could easily be explained by weird water creatures, water tools or lures.

But why…[Read more]

@phaseshift, @kharis, @juniperfish et al — and of course Bill and Heather is a nice little tribute to (the) Hartnell(s)

This was a wonderful intro to season 10.  Adore Bill, but how could a person not adore Bill?  She’s original and absolutely endearing.  Agree with @jimthefish and @nerys that this has a wonderful introduction to a companion and I enjoy the sense of whimsy, humor and wonder infused back into the show.

@MissRori, @mudlark @juniperfish @phaseshift @pedant @miapatrick @jimthefish Agree, agree, agree.

Peter Capaldi has been my favorite Doctor since season 9 (not feeling it in season 8, plus still loyal to Doctor 11) but this episode reminded me why he is…[Read more]

@Phaseshift

Did you miss me

Yes, obviously…

Delighted to have you back… glad things feel a bit less grim, despite the new world order of “alternative facts”.

Interesting re Moffat’s Sherlock and Who as written in parallel and their inter-textual relationship with one another.

Hypertext is specifically a word from a digital text context, so…[Read more]

@phaseshift Glad to see you back. And what a way to come back! Fantastic post, as always. You’ve been missed. Sorry for your loss, and that 2016 was a horrible year. I’d give you a hug if I could (unless you wouldn’t like that) 🙂

@phaseshift Welcome back! Sorry to hear about your problematic 2016, but it is great to read your, as ever, excellent reflections again.

And thank you for your praise, although I confess that I had forgotten all about my catching the gender-neutral references to the sibling in The Abominable Bride. So much so that I had to go back and re-watch…[Read more]

@phaseshift —

That sounds excellent. Will duly be downloading. I have fond memories of the old Who pinball game (in the old RGIT union in Aberdeen I seem to remember).

Yeah, I definitely did to a blog on video games but I can’t find it either now. Many of the older blogs have now been lost in a morass of fan film reviews, it seems….

@puroandson @ichabod @mudlark @janetteB @pedant @whisht @fatmaninabox @arbutus @jimthefish @phaseshift and all of you who I’ve forgotten or don’t have time to include. Happy Easter to you all too. I fully intend to be back to normal service after this little seasonal break, which has allowed me to get my breath back. Tomorrow night I’m going to…[Read more]

@JimTheFish @Phaseshift @puroandson @bluesqueakpip

Dealt with – thanks for the alert.

@Craig or @JimTheFish or @Phaseshift

I seem to have a new little friend (robbins) who is very interested in my profile and wants to share pictures with me.

Sadly, I suspect that they may be two-timing me with other members of this forum. 🙁

Yes, indeed. A shout-out to @puroandson. Hope all is well with you. And also to @phaseshift who I hope is not submerged in floodwater somewhere…..

I was thinking about how “Bad Wolf” and Fenric ought to be connected (thank you @phaseshift for pointing it out).

Suppose Rose Tyler is one of the “wolves of Fenric” – a descendent of those tainted by Fenric and a pawn in the ancient evil’s plot to re-emerge and defeat the Doctor. Since she helped the Doctor, ater sacrificed herself, and then…[Read more]

Aaaand more of page 2 🙂

@Misterhoo and @puroandson

Apologies if someone else has already replied to your query – but The General stated quite firmly that Clara’s physical death is a ‘fixed point’. We’ve seen before what happens when someone’s death is a ‘fixed point’ – Rory, who simply could not die until he finally reached the place and time…[Read more]
