    @ps1l0v3y0u the Tardis was exploded by the Silence effectively implanting this in Dr Song’s mind (at that point relatively early in their I hate you/I love you relationship). 🙂

    Even in the Tardis itself, in The Pandorica Opens, River says over & over “I’m sorry my love” as it begins to explode causing a detonation event across time and space w…[Read more]

    Complete Narrative Collapse sounds a bit like theoretical physics.

    Yes. Or a New Wave band.

    Spear of Destiny

    That’s a somewhat left-field 80s reference, blimey. And the related band Theatre of Hate. Liberator – their most famous song and the ship in Blake’s 7. The Beeb should reboot that. Sorry, I’ve gone off on several tangents…[Read more]

    the tardis exploding

    This would be an exploding TARDIS which caused Big Bang 2, that Sutekh somehow survived. The more you think about EoD, the less sense it makes.

    I’ve heard a couple of RTD interviews where he basically says that the script was written for the internet age.  i.e. to drive speculation and bonkers theorising…[Read more]

    @mudlark -ah yes, no, I understood (a tad late) but I’m not sure that PPP is going to be any different to RTD’s original intention. It would be interesting if there was a different configuration.

    @miapatrick. Absolutely. I wholeheartedly concur. & I think that RTD explained, somewhere, that the hooded woman was “shadowed by time……[Read more]

    @mudlark @whohar @ps1l0v3y0u @vickymallard  et. al

    I appreciate the theories but I wonder to what extent it’s likely the Christmas episode (or Eps 1-2, next season) will address issues of the Position of Pointing Person (PPP)  particularly the differences between the first & last episodes under forensic analysis? 😁

    Thanks for the tips. So basically anywhere, as long as you pick a series. But Night Watch, I’ll start there.

    @ps1l0v3y0u

    Mabinogion

    Ah yes. Thanks. I’ll check it out. Probably some crossover with Irish tales, of which I have a reference text.

    I’d not seen that Pratchett-ism before, although I am no expert. I keep meaning to read Discworld but there’s so much of it, I’m not sure where to start.

    Another writer! I liked Jackson’s LOTR but hated The Hobbit. But even the Hobbit is genius when placed next to that Amazon atrocity.

    I’m similarly minded. Although wasn’t there a Torchwood episode with evil fae in it? I may have imagined this…

    And, as @ps1l0v3y0u mentioned previously, I’d also prefer more science in the Sci-Fi part of Who. I also would like to see less of the romance angle unless it can be…[Read more]

    As  @ps1l0v3y0u  says, there is no answer; in fact nothing adds up in terms of the explanation offered. Who attaches a road sign to a lamp post on the premises of a pub, anyway? (For the record, I checked all the scenes in the Time Window where the lamp post is visible and, although the images aren’t exactly crystal clear, t…[Read more]

    I really like this theory – which might lead to the Great Intelligence, as others have previously theorised, given the snow connection. Or alternatively to a Time Lord using a grand-scale version of The…[Read more]

    Yes, indeed, but did you not see Kate and Col. Ibrahim reach out and hold each other’s hand after they miraculously come back to life. My heart sinks about where that might lead.

    @ps1l0v3y0u. quit possibly we’ll see him actively looking out for his daughter/son, which he said he’s rather shied away from, but knew would exist at some point, because he knew Susan. RTD hasn’t told us/decided yet how much he knows. I think he thinks Jenny is dead. But this is one thing I really do like – the Time-whimey child, who’s own child…[Read more]

    The rest of the Pantheon??? I doubt if all is at it seems. Sutekh may be a front for someone else. The whole thing may be virtual with, on the one hand, the multiplicity of baddies representing significant people in the Doctor’s past. How else is Susan Triad everywhere?

    And yes (edit) RTD likes massive buildups, flying things with pointy sharp bits, listing baddies, and computer or TV screens which judder about but slowly show important or final name of ….. Big Bad

    I going on my ever-more-wrong record as saying the hooded figure is the Trickster.  Setting the trap.
