Why did Orson wear his helmet in the restaurant?

Moffat does love his bizarre imagery. And seems to have a special affection for Space Men showing up in the strangest places. 🙂

Why did Danny phone Clara?

The second time, after Danny stormed out of the restaurant in anger because he perceived Clara as lying to him.  He then regretted…[Read more]

@TheBrainOfMoffat  (love that!)   @thommck

I don’t think the Doctor was thinking it through. Clara was trying to tell him that she got distracted, he didn’t want to hear it. If he was so uberfocused on his plan as to ignore her statement that she had never been to this place, he certainly wasn’t taking the time to think logically about what he…[Read more]

Welcome along @thebrainofmoffat, your “Evidence 3” reminded me of something. Didn’t Doctor 11 go and look all over Clara’s timeline (or at least her past) to try and figure out why she was so impossible?
Surely Doctor 12 should’ve known that the orphanage was somewhere she had never been? I guess that can be swept under the rug marked memory…[Read more]

The things I got from this forums is just MIND BLOWING, Listen anagrams to Silent, Orson is Our son, that is good speculation, and I don’t think my mind can take this anymore lol, anyway, i’ve just watch the episode, once, earlier this morning and it is good, it left us with a lot of questions and it kept playing tricks on my mind.

I don’t…[Read more]

@Craig – good practice.

Looking at my own possible not-so-good practice, I can think of a private post (about Journey tt CotTARDIS) where I quoted @PhaseShift, @PhileasF and @HTPBDET – but it was private, I said where the original posts were, and if I ever get asked to place it on a public site, I’ll ask them first. Or if any of them want to PM…[Read more]

@PhileasF – ooh, Lawrence Fox!  I love him as Hathaway – so much not said, not shown, but glimpses of intellect and passion and sadness…  I’ll be very happy if it’s him.

@PhileasF but she would have seen herself regenerate!
@bluesqueakpip I think I understand what you mean about her possibly being a future echo, I just think that may be one paradox too far!

@PhileasF

It looks like Clara has the same mother in all her lives. If every Clara gets a whole past and future, just like any other real person… then how much of the human population of spacetime exists because […]

Agh! I love it all.

First off @PhileasF I got a really good chuckle from this

‘River seemed a little harsh when she warned Clara that her splinters would only be copies. Pot. Kettle.’

And I am assuming […]

@PhileasF

I now expect that in every episode until the end of the series, even long after JLC has left, we’ll see Clara, in a crowd scene, on a screen, peeking around a corner. Not participating in the episode, […]

@Shazzbot We need an ex(xilon)pert! Sorry. GI forgetting – he’s seen a lot of stuff and is, well, old. Souffle Girl – like her mum, leaping into the way of cars/timestreams and ‘getting it right’.

@PhileasF […]

@Craig thanks for the link.

@PhileasF thanks for the regen post.

@everyone_else thanks for the really interesting discussion.

@PhileasF  Can I trouble you to repost that here:

Its a great post – and contains much to discuss…at length…

Cheers

@PhileasF – was about to say the same thing about two parters.  They’re a hard thing to accomplish, 2 stories that work as standalones, but the first sets up the second well, the second resolves the first […]

@PhileasF

I have found most of this run enjoyable but the last half (of this half) has stalled a bit for me. “Hide” seems to be the peak IMO. I have hopes for the finale but they are not the grand hopes I had […]

@PhileasF – thanks for the clarification – like @ScaryB I’m trying to go cold turkey on spoilers and it’s not easy. I’ve never forgotten being spoiled for the ending of Utopia – and waiting for the big reveal you […]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

Thanks @PhileasF – it would be very unusual for Moff to give away too much detail – as you say, if he’s referenced it, then it’s more likely to mean it’ll all happen in first 3 mins! (OTOH even experienced people […]

::psst:: @PhileasF

Don’t mention the spoilers!

@Blenkinsopthebrave and @PhileasF – My pleasure!  I think very few people have seen this prequel, and it absolutely seems like something SM would do – hide clues in ‘plain sight’ where nobody sees them!

It […]
