@purofilion ha 10 mins?  No, no it had to have taken longer!

All right, you caught me. 😉 Still, it was better than my first attempt: “The Alzariuses moper mouth”.

Hi @ScaryB. And thanks!

Clara’s asked “What did you say your name was” – and replies truthfully. But not to the question asked. Instead she blurts out “bubbly personality masking bossy control freak”.

re your post 24143

That is such a moving parallel to the Doctor’s experience of being a “displaced person”.  Thanks for posting

@purofilion Without Googling (look ma, no hands!) I am going to guess whence we also get “purify”.

Welcome, and thanks for a great post to start up the speculation again!

The Doctor never said that River couldn’t be buried (as you would assume he’d say after the Library), he just said that ‘they’ would never bury his wife there. Does this imply that there is a way to get her out of the Library and back to a body again, in order for…[Read more]

River’s grave – as pointed out, wasn’t actually River’s grave, it was there to alert the Doctor to the fact it was actually a secret passage; But yes indeed, who made it? The doctor himself…? (he’s on Trenzalore for a good while – 300 years (no TARDIS), + unknown period of time when he…[Read more]

Tasha flying the TARDIS is a genuine, original, no previous owners Deus Ex Machina. 🙂

So it got talked about under the ‘Deus Ex Machina’ discussion.

What excellent points!

I recall that River said she had seen all of his faces (up to 11, or beyond?) and I keep remembering the line about him turning up with a new haircut and a new suit (or words to that effect). I think it is left open that River could have inhabited all of the Doctor’s timeline, for the whole 50 years of…[Read more]

My favourite notion is River using the cot as a Mother – You could really be on to something there…
