BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@dentarthurdent

perhaps ‘the idea, that a Ladydoc shouldn’t be blokey, might work’ would be better.

Different docs? ie Docs that ‘work’… If 1&2 defined the character, 3 was the first ‘constructed’ doc: stuck on Earth, gimmicky, comes with private army and bete noir. 4 is iconic but he was actually made by Holmes/Hinchcliffe… and he went on to…[Read more]

@pufferfish

Not sure about the Russian’s enthusiasm for Battlestar Galactica however. DS9 The Dominion War arc perhaps, especially Weyoun. Or as they call him… Marco!

@pufferfish

lol

on a more serious note. The seventh son of a seventh son?? 7×7 is…!!

An Arthur Lee song…!

No! It is 49 no less. And 49 + 1963 = 2012. The Christmas ep 2012 was The Snowmen. Snow. Rain. Tears.

REG. In the scan. Rogue. Who is trapped in another Universe.

May 31st, this Saturday =

1. The War Games… still like that very much,…[Read more]

@missrori

no Susan and Rogue are definitely NOT illusory. Nor is Roger ap Gwillem, Stukey Bill, or the Space Babies. However, everyone apart from Susan, but perhaps her too, are disguised. If anything, they are all rooted in The Doctor’s REAL consciousness.

We know now the exterior of The Bone Palace is unreal. But is the interior? Mavity p…[Read more]

While we may wince at the thought of a Russ ‘kitchen sink’ season end, if it proved to be just an annihilated Omega bootstrapping himself through force of will, I may be slightly disappointed.

I think its all a VR including the Rani VR, in which The Doctor is forced to confront his past and maybe his future. I know the Cyberium might be int…[Read more]

From The Problem with Chris, to date analysis. I wouldn’t usually bother with this level of analysis, but October 5th does seem to have Mindrobber, Remembrance and possibly Paradise Towers links (btw the last one is hard work). Anyway Oct 5th is in the text. So kinda nailed on.

May 24th & 31st is more speculative: the War Games has recently b…[Read more]

Strictly speaking, the Forest of the Dead does not have a date link to the current series. But I had a look.

Q. If the Doctor has a granddaughter but not a child,  might things sequentially in the future for him and for us, be in the past for people who have advised him of Spoilers in the past.

I mean ‘stealing the president’s wife and the moon…[Read more]

@mudlark @dentarthurdent @janetteb

The theory that a Ladydoc shouldn’t in anyway ape a ‘blokedoc’ is not necessarily unsound. You might say it was an act of faith by both actor and writer.

But then the Faye Marsay resemblance is down to either:

1. er… ’kookdoc’ – which is a bit insulting isn’t it? On many levels. I wouldn’t put it past Moffat.…[Read more]

Ok. On the basis that this ep was broadcast on 31st May… and the only other one ever was The War Games, I thought I should check it out again.

Woahhh! This is up there with Blink. Funny that Blink got a mention in Lux. And oh! Yes! THAT name!!

Thesis: the Rani is running a shonky VR based on the nonsense generated by a pathetic conspiracy t…[Read more]

@janetteb

btw yes I meant Faye Marsay. T’other end o’Yorkshire and meant to be the next companion but I think this proves there is some kind of Cartmel 2.0.

Shona grooved like Ace. Or Anita (Sandringham, not Dobson. Especially in Richard Briers mode).

Russ! Time for Faye! I’ll do the script and everything. Faye… & Anita! BAMF!

@janetteb @geoffers @mudlark

Yes! Let’s all have a good rant down the pub.

Hey! I just posted a major essay into the ether. Tsk probably a good thing.

The quintessence:

Ruth is fine but the continuity is weird. It probably needs a bit of retro conversion.

The Division is reminiscent of The Obsidian Order/ Tal Shiar/Section 31. But it and t…[Read more]

@mudlark

But ‘poppy’ is also echoed in the Hellions and their ruined planet. Poppy Honey.

Space Babies and Rogue are emerging from the murk.

Paradise Towers is worth a look… just started. Pity about Mel…

There’s something somewhere about a young actress who played a Red Kang and crops up later. Can’t remember…

I shall deploy the sonic trowel!!

On the theme of the Two Rani’s, and with some help from TWTNTW, I think Patrick Troughton is saying ‘I get a pain in the neck!’

Chib… the fall out from Wish World.

This doesn’t seem to have much to do with him. Russ should be able to navigate his way around this admittedly clumsy execution of the Timeless Children erm… revolution. End of that particular story.

On the other hand we have Ruth. I have issues with Ruth. There was a companion who died for Ruth! Before our e…[Read more]

I suggest observations with regards to this quite all right ep, and the entertaining if slightly self-serving arc that encompasses it, remain to be expressed here… or on forums related to subsequent episodes.

For stuff that pertains specifically to Chib, his decisions, the reasons for those, and the reaction to his departure, perhaps we should r…[Read more]

@whohar

The issue with bigeneration is: who gets custody of the Tardis? For some reason I thought the box also split somehow. Which would seem to be wrong or at least there is no evidence but if, in Journey to the Centre of The Tardis, we learn the Tardis can make everything, why not another Tardis? That is it’s not just a space/time machine b…[Read more]

The Mind has been Robbed.

The Architect is Great and has been Busy.

Omega is Handy.

Omegeddon!

Slightly ho hum. But only slightly. No Fam to speak of. So that’s a good thing.

But why Conrad? Ain’t he just this guy, you know? I really don’t want him to be The Master.

And gods, gods, gods, gods… they get everywhere, don’t  they? Was this cute…[Read more]

This season has been better, though eps 3-6 from last year were very good, and 1-2 only slightly weird with good bits.

There does seem to be hints of Omega and possibly Daleks.

I’m not what you do with The Daleks post Rusty The Good Dalek or Clara The Almost Dalek. Don’t want think about Zchib in that respect. He seemed to wheel them out whe…[Read more]

@devilishrobby
Remembrance: The Hand that killed Skaro was definitely Omega’s… though I admit I’ve made a similar mistake in the past. And there were crypto Mosleyites in the early 60’s Britain. 2 stories later, in Silver Nemesis, a statue of living metal no less, made by both Mr O’Mega and Razzy Lon (who may or may not also be Rog Williamso…[Read more]
