Yeah – I’m a little sceptical. She’s 800 years old, has been around a bit and even been a queen. A meeting with Missy would be sufficient. Not convinced it is necessary.

@sirclockface

The problem with Ellie is that her scrapbook of things to do started when she was 11-ish (as @pufferfish notes), so she would need to be an…[Read more]

@pufferfish Ellie Ravenwood could have been the name that ‘me’ chose at the time much like all the other names she has

@Pufferfish

I took that final scene to be Clara feeling utterly alone in a quiet flat, the way it feels lonely after a row, no matter how righteous one may have felt in the heat of the argument.

Love that. Beautifully put

@Pufferfish That was an excellent post. There were some very quoteable lines in there.

@Purofilion there are times I question the wisdom of compulsory voting, (Such as last September) but I remind myself that for democracy to work the voting public must be well informed. The problem is not with how we determine who votes but how little they know…[Read more]

@ScaryB @pufferfish

Ha! – A little synchronicity.  now that seems appropriate to Moffat’s Who! (I don’t really have time to look beyond episode threads and maybe Spoilers, so I’m not even sure which of us got there first.)

@pedant and @pufferfish seem to be in perfect harmony with the Skids (thanks to both of you)

@drdai Welcome. And well done on wading thro 274 posts!! Maybe you’re right – the Doctor starts a regeneration cycle looking older then gets progressively younger (more or less).

@Brewski love the QE I as Missy theory – you nearly have me…[Read more]

wow – so much good stuff here recently!!

@Arbutus – ah, James ‘Sit Down’.
Brings to mind a story I can’t tell in detail, but which leaves a rueful grin!
The Hacienda club in Manchester 1990(?). Me and a girl on the dancefloor. Everyone hearing this song and doing the dance which involved sitting down.

except me and said girl.

[ahem]

@phaseshift – nice ‘list of top slaps’. I’ve missed much of ‘slapgate’ on here, but when I was reading everyone’s comments, Jackie slapping Ecclestone’s Doc was the one that I was going to mention (mostly because I’ve just done an all-nighter and worked my way through series 1 and 2, so have seen it recently…). As slaps in Doctor Who go it…[Read more]

@pufferfish For some reason, I believed all the Claricles to be infertile, even if I just made that up, it would be a good way to dead-end all the “older Clara” theories. I’m not a big fan of that as there are just to many possibilities from the sheer amount of Claricles

We see a Claricle gets “born” in one episode so they certainly have the…[Read more]

Firstly, completely unrelated in a sense but Jenna Coleman is coming to Armageddon here in Melbourne this October.  My 5-year-old and 9-year-old cousins are massive Doctor Who fans, (we raised them well), and they have just informed me that they intend to dress up as K9 and a Dalek to go have their photo with Clara.

How can I argue with…[Read more]

@Pufferfish   I hadn’t connected the characters who have been “hung up on various Romans” (hee hee); I guess as @Rob says, the Doctor is one of them now.

@Barnable    Where are those paradoxes?   There were no ducks in the duck pond. 😳

@Serahni  She could have found a cloud to sulk on for a while to recover from the loss of a beloved frien…[Read more]

@Pufferfish you can see his side-eye, whereas the dormant droids are facing forward, unseeing. So he never *quite* abandons her in the ‘larder’.

You’re right.  And he is also the “droid” who dragged her away.  I bet that was the Doctor who put the dream in her mind of the kids screaming, so she would start the ball rolling.  He believed in her, t…[Read more]

@Craig @Wolfweed @Blenkinsopthebrave @Juniperfish @FatmaninaBox @Arbutus @Pufferfish @Timeloop @Chickenelly @Whisht @arkleseizure and all the forum members, veterans and newbies alike.

Just a flying-in visit to wish everyone a  Happy Who Day

@JimtheFish @Bluesqueakpip Thanks for missing me! And yes, been doing that cultural overdose thing in…[Read more]

@Pufferfish     This should really be a crazy caption. Something like, “New mouth, new rules! Clara, can you whip up a fig soufflé?”

@Bluesqueakpip @Craig @Pufferfish @Whisht and all DWF members who can get to London on 7 Aug

@DenValdron

Couple of things:

– I strongly resent the implication that there is something passive about my aggression. I have been on the internet way to long to have anything other than zero tolerance of trolling and fuckwittery. I’m quite happy to let everybody else be the good cop;

– Posting a tendencious view is one thing, but when you are…[Read more]

@TardisBlue *waves back* My pleasure – simply one quick search away. I hope a lot use the opportunity! Haha, I just remembered Marta’s journey around earth to tell everyone to think of the word ‘Doctor’ when the countdown ends. Will be something like that for me personally.

I am doing something similar @TardisBlue. I invited the only friend who…[Read more]
