Returning, in a marking break, to chew over a couple of things regarding some of Ncuti’s Doctor’s characteristics.

I liked this more emotional Doctor, but I wanted his weeping to be addressed as having some meaning, seeing as he cried in almost every episode, beyond – eh, this incarnation is just more emotional.

On the other hand, I have not…[Read more]

@pufferfish I agree with your surmise that Ncuti (darn and I’d

just gotten used to writing his name without thinking about it) was probably offered  a major medium to long term project probably late 2024 after they’d finished principle photography but before they went into reshoots for season 2. He was probably originally offered a rene…[Read more]

Lots of midges content to catch up on (will comment in a few days time).

Just a couple of hours to the finale, so will post my last one for Wish World.
Slightly ties to the Interstellar Song Contest (ABBA) and of course, The Rani.

;¬)

Oh and @pufferfish – I owe you massively!
You mentioned Yo La…[Read more]

Yet more American interference in British institutions! First it was Trump and Musk, now it’s The Onion. How dare they!
(OK, to be serious for a moment, I got a good laugh out of it. Well done Onion.)

Actually, I think the full text of The Onion’s incvestigative journalism is worthy of reproduction…[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]

@pufferfish I think the Rani should be called dumbass forever onwards. And Conrad.
Also, why does Ruby feel the need to see Conrad face to face? She isn’t hoping to “reform him” Is she?  (Echoes of The West Wing there and Sam….).

Puro.

Hallooo everyone. An exciting but short series!
Love the theories and the characters within the  the rich Blodeuwedd tale. @whisht A shout out to a QLD minimalist composer, Peter Gundry and his Blodeuwedd fantasy composition (available on YouTube).
@whohar you’re definitely one of the gods of prophecy (aren’t they all?)! Perhaps Apol…[Read more]

Mrs Blenkinsop and I just finished watching all four episodes. Tremendously enjoyable. Also, tremendously hokey. But was the latter necessary to ensure the former…? Somehow, I suspect it was.

What insight did it provide to the Rani’s plan to bring back Omega on Saturday? Perhaps it confirms @pufferfish‘s brilliant assessment of the current Rani…[Read more]

Welcome back @pufferfish I love your thinking!

@Mudlark The whole point of the false world is that it can be destroyed by doubt… And the Doctor’s breakthrough doubt is powerful enough to break into the underverse where Omega is supposedly trapped.  So Conrad was employed as a flawed world maker. Set up to fail… poor Conrad!

Random thoughts -…[Read more]

@pufferfish: The problem with getting rid of the Pantheon of Discord on the way to setting the universe to rights is that the Doctor is probably going to have to use Desiderium’s powers to save Earth, as there isn’t any obvious solution to the problem otherwise (and telling him the right story fits into the themes of storytelling and control this…[Read more]

Hallooo Puro here! I’m on Son’s new address. I did have some of this post saved in word doc…  This post addresses the musical concepts, in general, of current investigations into Time Windows, in relation to fractals in music and the interconnectedness of the universe and music. So many posters have written extensively on the importance of…[Read more]

@mudlark @pufferfish @whohar @bunface and calling those with knowledge of Horus … People have suggested Ruby is part of an altered reality. Has she been placed in different time streams by the Doctor to fight Sutehk?

And, as others noted, when Kate articulates her chrysalis theory, Ruby arrives at UNIT with her VHS. S Triad is the vessel for e…[Read more]

@pufferfish @juniperfish and Roam is from the B52s album Cosmic Thing… (also containing the brilliant Love Shack).

@pufferfish – thanks for the song find!

Seems like a gloating song from Lord Sutekh – he’s got control of the TARDIS (/alternative Red TARDIS – let’s see) so can presumably spread his dominion of death throughout time and space:

“Roam if you want to

Roam around the world

Roam if you want to

Without wings, without wheels”

@pufferfish There are two tabs atop the upper right of the posting window. If you paste text, switch from the default Visual tab to the Text tab. That way you won’t get the formatting code interspersed with your text.

@pufferfish <waves at fellow fish!>

@thane16 @blenkinsopthebrave @mudlark  – loving the speculation that Ruby could be her own mother.

However, whilst I can see someone being their own father as theoretically possible (Back to the Future gone full Oedipus) wouldn’t being your own mother create an immediate temporal paradox of the kind that, in…[Read more]

@mudlark is probably correct here. I had forgotten about the DNA scan but there might we ways around it, some kind of scriptwriting jiggery pokery. Ruby might be a granddaughter and possibly the Doctor already has some human DNA, given that he is not of Gallifreyan origin after all. Had the Doctor ever scanned their own DNA? (I really need to make…[Read more]

@pufferfish

really? Boom was in the C24th? I can’t remember 15’s exact words but he didn’t seem to think so.

@pufferfish  @jimthefish  @ps1l0v3y0u

That reference to ‘London town’ is indeed weird. I confess I missed it at the time – possibly I was so engrossed that my mind filtered it and I just heard ‘London’ – but I checked the transcript and, yes, there it is. But even if the writer hadn’t been RTD, I’m not sure that it can be counted an Am…[Read more]
