I enjoyed this very much.

I was moved.

I’ve long had this idea of how the Doctor should regenerate – about what constitutes a suitably heroic end. The suitably heroic self-sacrifice, where the Doctor knowingly gives up his life to save the world or one person. The series hasn’t followed my strict requirements very often. Pretty much only in Plane…[Read more]

Sigh. I heard the news Sunday morning (local time), checking the news on my phone. (I have Google news customised to give me Doctor Who news.)

There’s no way this could have been kept quiet in the age of the […]

D’oh! That’ll teach me to Google dialog rather than checking for myself 🙂

I think most of my interpretations still make sense though.

I know a lot of us have been thinking about the possible interpretations of the Whispermen’s verse (the last song in a season of songs).

The man who lies will lie no more
When he lies at Trenzalore.

Here’s […]

And she might have seen herself in the timestream and not realised she was seeing the Doctor — she’d have thought she was seeing herself, now that she’s all scattered over the Doctor’s life.

@Shazzbot, you’re right (re River’s harshness). Harsh wasn’t the right word (a bit of a cheap shot really).

I was attempting to express the idea that River, despite being ‘only a copy’, still seemed fully real […]

Did I really say (a million posts ago) that the time for theories was over? It all seemed so straightforward immediately after that first viewing. Then I thought about it, and read some posts 🙂

It isn’t so […]

Regarding Susan’s claim that she coined the word ‘TARDIS’, which seems to contradict the repair shop guys using the word in TNOTD.

This has been discussed since the original series, when it was established that […]

The Name of the Doctor just finished airing in Australia about 20 minutes ago (at the time I started writing this post).

Whoah.

I was very moved by the awesomeness of it all.

Much as I love the Moff, and […]

My typically long-winded thoughts on regeneration:

The first two ‘regenerations’

I’ve always been fond of the notion that Pertwee -> Tom Baker was the first time the Doctor regenerated.

The 1st Doctor […]

@CraigNixon, nice theory about the Guardians. They’re one of the best ideas of the original series that hasn’t been seen yet in the new series.

If there’s someone that could fill the gap left by the Doctor’s […]

@WhoHar, season 14 was about the middle of Tom Baker’s run, consisting of The Masque of Mandragora, The Hand of Fear, The Deadly Assassin, The Face of Evil, The Robots of Death and The Talons of Weng-Chiang. To my […]

(Draws breath. Time for a fresh post…)

It seems a little pointless to theorise when a lot of people have apparently been spoiled by a BBC trailer. (I’m trying hard not to look. It could be misdirection, and […]

I enjoyed this episode very much. Do I say that every week? If I haven’t, I’ve meant to. I have enjoyed everything this half-season a lot, with the exception of RingsoA, which I only enjoyed. Perhaps that doesn’t […]

I enjoy the Lindalee videos, but I don’t imagine for a moment that they’re entirely her own thoughts. Still, even if she’s reading an autocue written by her parents, she’s very talented and very comfortable in […]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@Bluesqueakpip, re spoilers.

Sorry if I startled you with spoiler talk. The @HTPBDET post I was referring to was in the spoiler forum, but his ‘Doctor’s funeral’ idea was based on spoiler-free thoughts (mostly […]
