Have you got a link for the video the first time we saw Jodie and the plinth?

@blenkinsopthebrave …, the connection between Brendon and Yama being discovered as babies is fascinating,…

I’m totally blanking out on this. Who is Yama?

Also, I agree with you that there are hints of Graham and Ravio heading off together into the sunset.

@psymon I agree with your take on Graham’s verbal stumbling as he introduced himself. I…[Read more]

Or maybe they were entities who simply assumed the appearance of the father and the senior policeman.

I noticed the different reactions when I rewatched as well. I think you’re probably right, Mudlark – the minders assumed the appearance of the two people that Brendan would trust most in all the world. His…[Read more]

In order to explain why, I would compare what we just watched with “The Pandorica Opens” and “The Big Bang”. When Moffat did that resolution to his first season, he had seeded the entire season with indicators and references that would pay off in the conclusion–the crack in the…[Read more]

It was a 50 min trailer tbh. We’ve still got the same questions we had at the start of the episode and more.

And yes I thought that too regarding Cybermen, they get their hands on the Cyberium so are in reality able to rebuild their empire as it was in ruins… but there’s only…[Read more]

I’d save the Ruth Doc stuff imo. Keep the excitement going.

@missrori. Is the Cyberium the thing the Alliance sent back through time to destroy the…[Read more]

“Doctors”: is this show good? It seems as though every second Doctor Who cast member has been on it.

@psymon
“they are annoyingly inconsistent this season about fixed points, multi-verse theory, cause and effect, butterfly effects”

Mmm. Although the new Who has not strictly stuck to a plan, several…[Read more]

I didn’t get the feeling that she dismissed Jack’s warning without care, but given what was at stake, when would the Doctor ever have done differently…[Read more]

Mind wiping by Timelords, this allows for the possibility of of  Jo Martin Doctor (Dr Foster from Gloucester) to be a future or…[Read more]

I thought this episode was good. Yes, there was a message, but they didn’t beat…[Read more]

Perhaps the contrast between last week’s episode caused me to be a bit harsh in my comments yesterday evening, but I certainly didn’t think it was as bad as Orphan 55 and, as I said, it held my attention. After a second viewing, now that perhaps I am in a more tolerant mood, I feel less inclined to be critical, but I still have the…[Read more]

Agree with @psymon regarding the difference between Tennant and Whittaker when explaining things. I also always think the best Doctor’s are the ones who demonstrate anger the best. Whittaker doesn’t ever seem to angry, she showed it a little more in…[Read more]

I liked the lack of an overt villain in this one. While i…[Read more]

I was pleased that the environmental issue was done a bit more subtly than in Orphan 55, also the supporting cast were,…[Read more]

Even the police officer being married to the astronaut gave me an eye roll

I don’t see why. For someone to rush to Hong Kong from the UK on the off chance that Adam was alive (and the texts weren’t some kind of sick joke) Jake would have to be either Adam’s adoring brother or his husband. My first assumption was ‘brother’, because the…[Read more]

Yes, I definitely got the impression that the split into different investigating teams has been happening a lot more than we’ve seen on-screen. We’ve seen it a couple of times this series, but they keep referring to off-screen adventures, so it’s not too big a leap.

If all three actors are leaving at the end of the series (Doctors…[Read more]

Ah, I had forgotten…There is a good theory that @mudlark has developed over on the “Spoilers” page, that may well be the explanation.

But I still find it interesting that they go to so much trouble to give us specific dates and ages in the episode. Perhaps more catnip, as @whisht notes.

I think that’s almost a certainty with regards to Big Finish.

And it’s probably too early to say for sure but I wouldn’t be massively surprised if we have, in fact, just met the next Doctor…. at the very least, I think she’ll become WhitDoc’s equivalent of Captain Jack/River Song — a capable peer of the Doctor’s who can show up every…[Read more]

@craig or @phaseshift or @jimthefish – can you do some post removal please? Ta

No, it wouldn’t, but Jodie Whittaker would need a very good reason indeed to effectively announce that she’s unavailable for work throughout most of 2020 and probably into 2021. That’s why it’s so difficult to keep a change of Doctor secret. Actors have mortgages (and small children to feed) and most UK actors (even the current Doctor)…[Read more]

Maybe on early pre-Hartnell Gallifrey it was assumed to be impossible?

That’s what I’d go for. The Martin Doctor and Gat are from Gallifrey’s past. Which past isn’t what the Doctor thinks, maybe. Or maybe it’s her own and the Master’s past?

The thing about the alternate timeline – where are the clues? The only clue I could possibly…[Read more]

As you say, there have been multiple instances of two or more incarnations of the Doctor and his/her Tardis assembling without obvious problems, though I think that there have occasionally been allusions to potential problems arising. What has been shown to cause a serious paradox is when the Tardis materialises inside her past or future…[Read more]
