    Yep, been there, got my gay crush’s Sonic Youth ‘Confusion Is Sex’ t-shirt (I am wearing it today, LOL).

    I absolutely did not have ‘time hotel door opens to catch the Doctor’ on my rescue guess list! Enjoyed all of it (and the way it clattered along) until the first resolution, and then I thought ‘oh shit, he is outta there’. Millie Gibson was fa…[Read more]

    Well, I loved when Whittaker was cast because she is tremendous in Attack the Block and her debut (Venus) proved she could hold her own amongst beloved skilled chewers of scenery. I thought she would nail it as the Doctor based on both of those things but to not research previous Doctors a bit when your episodes feature montages of your…[Read more]

    My favourite Onion headline will always be:
    ‘37 Record-Store Clerks Feared Dead In Yo La Tengo Concert Disaster’

    …which shows my age, just a bit!

    I love to note how much Conrad resembles Wes Streeting.

  • Pufferfish replied to the topic Wish World

    Hello all – have been lurking all along! I would highly recommend having a look at the series 2 preview trailer if you want to see glimpses of the final episode not present in the clips released online or at the end of Unleashed. I think one shot is definitely of Omega!

    Streets Kitchen is fab. Well done, Craig.

    Oh FFS. Sorry about the format disaster; did not appear that way when pasted.

    @juniperfish the song is Roam by the B-52s.

    The lyrics should tempt anyone looking for bonkersness:

    Hello!

    In Boom, Ruby’s age is simply calculated from her birth year in the 21st century.

    Loving the return to Bonkers Theories, and hello to all the other fishes, Puro and Scary B!

    @blenkinsopthebrave

    The most egregious Americanism (and I should know) was 14 saying LONDON TOWN. FFS, not even Dick van Dyke etc etc…

  • Pufferfish replied to the topic The Star Beast

    Well hello!

    Enjoyed that, but before I elaborate, a few questions:

    When Donna is at her computer, what is she looking at? RTD usually has people at laptops for reasons.

    Sylvia – TUNA Madras? Is she trying to maim them?

    Rose making toys – just foreshadowing or will something in that shed come to save the day?

    @PhaseShift interjecting with a possible Bowie ref for this episode:

    On the day of execution/only women kneel and smile

     

  • Pufferfish replied to the topic Knock Knock

    If we’re bonkersing, I feel like nobody’s paid attention to that last scene in The Pilot where so far it’s assumed the Doctor/Tardis came directly from the office above. I’m not sure he/it did.

    That book inspired the internet itself:

    @mudlark

    Kezzia is probably an alternate spelling of Keziah, one of Job’s three daughters – it means ‘sweetness’ and has the same derivation as Cassia (cinnamon). So the character’s name fits in with the general positivity of the other colonists’ names. Also a very popular name in Puritan/early Protestant circles (I have a few of them dotted…[Read more]

    Hello all!

    I’m glad to be back and glad to see everyone back. Big love to Puro – now let’s get settled in and see where we are.

    Capaldi was interviewed recently and was delighted to be asked what David Bowie song should play in the TARDIS.  His answer: “Time”. Make of that what you will. I’m totally down with Bowie references as we go along…[Read more]

    Love her, love the Purple Rain t-shirt. If you go to Pearl Mackie’s Twitter, she’s a massive Prince fan and appears to be (as the youf say) fairly woke.

  • Pufferfish replied to the topic The Fox Inn

    Welcome home, Puro! And I hope it doesn’t embarrass him or you, but your son is tops and already posting at a rate of knots. Must run in the family ;-)))

  • Pufferfish replied to the topic The Fox Inn

    Dearest puro,

    You’re one of the nicest and most accomplished people I’ve ever had the pleasure to encounter online. Thank you for being here, and know that I am so very sorry to hear about your health problems (I’d been reading between the lines that something wasn’t quite right, and it stings to have it confirmed). I’m sure I will not be alone…[Read more]
