Yes that is a timeless classic 😃

Belated Happy Birthday

Great idea to have a later Official Birthday, you are as your avatar shows a person of high birth and that is entirely fitting for you to have as many 50th birthday parties as you desire (quick Who Forum people we all  need to panic buy jelly [for our cousins across the pond that’s jello], just in case Craig pops…[Read more]

It was a good video call, I’m the only one out working as I’m considered a critical worker (and I always thought I was a sarcastic worker so is critical a promotion or demotion?)

Bonkerising theory No. 47.6

The baby that the Lone Cyberman picked up and says “Don’t be afraid, little one. You will be like us.” (Quote courtesy of Chakoteya.net a great resource for Dr Who) could be Brendan,  who could be The Lone Cyberman, very much A Timeless Child.

I am greatly enjoying Picard I do have a couple of issues with the burning of Mars.

The androids are shown as very much lesser than Data, all locked together overnight like tractors in a barn. They are seen and act as interactive tools. There are only two reasons I can see for this.

1 they are purely talking machines

2 they…[Read more]

Anyone watching Picard?

Have watched the first 3 episodes and am quietly impressed

I have a couple of issues with how the Federation has come to being an insular institution but am loving the return of JLP

Also Craig I’ll download and start reading tonight,  thanks for sharing

We both enjoyed Can You Hear Me, Zellin was properly sinister,  the fingers in your ears, another flashback to hiding behind the sofa.

I get what your saying @jimthefish but perhaps…[Read more]

One of the lads who worked there, looked at me and said “You won’t fit that back into your pocket”,  we shared some Dr related chat

Dr Who all about making connections

Been a hectic week stomping around in mud and getting occasionally stuck in it too

Wizard of Oz, The Master? No surely not he’s more likely to be The Wicked Witch of the West (www his use of computers in the episode?)

Wizard of Oz then is Jodie Whittaker Doctor (or maybe  she’s Glinda) or Rassilon (or…[Read more]

The Master has exceptional hypnosis skills and maybe was in Oz to find some of the Dream Lords pollen put the two together and we get Dallas style dream arc or a Jodie Whittaker Doctor who is not seeing reality but a web spun by the Master.

Alternatively, this Master is from the parallel universe of Jo Martin Doctor, this gets…[Read more]

After some reflection (and several large mugs of coffee) and now reading the musings of the nutters Who-rati my sixpence short of a shilling lands heads on an alternative universe Doctor and tails on a prior/subsequent Doctor.

Positives

On the whole the Skithra were intriguing monsters, the only negative was the queen’s resemblance to the queen of the Racnos though to be fair this could be as both are arachnids

I think The Green Death probably did the environmental argument more subtly and maybe more powerfully. That is because the message was spread over several episodes.

Waves at all 😃

Was away up in Cambridgeshireshire for a wobbly drinks start to 2019 and have therefore only just watched this years only offering.

On the scientifically proven self built Whometer it scored a inspirational 56.78432r  (not sure what that is in Rells though)

I shall post later when I’ve had time to think more about the episode

Had a great day and hope you’ve all enjoyed the same

Ho hum

Overall I enjoyed the episode.

I missed the lights on the planet so ended the programme thinking Tim Shaw had destroyed 5 planets and every living thing on them. No evidence of light coming from the stasis planets either, just bits of rock in a capsule, no water, no ice no atmosphere all at odds with the stasis chambers used for…[Read more]

Granny 5 told a fairy tale to The Doctor

In fairy tales when you kiss a frog it turns into a prince and “happily ever after”

The Solitract wanted a kiss to seal the deal, but was doomed to ever be the amphibian of unrequited love.

Hmmm more coffee needed on this theory I think

One who was make believe

One who paid the price

Two who were redeemed

Was maybe a bit of a long and winding road

So to precis

Awesome new Doctor

Awesome new team

So popped in for a pint or two of calm down

Happy Birthday

Hope you’ve had a great day

Ps it’s still your birthday here

I almost thought that the Tardis was inside of medical ship with all the Time Lord style circles in the white control room.

The characters we met this week were all pretty interesting with only the exploitation of the android being unresolved or more precisely not even really addressed, bar the comment from the brother apologising…[Read more]

Excellent link

@jimthefish

Apart from the fantastic Rosa I’ve felt the stories are average fare but felt that Whittaker pretty much nailed the role of The Doctor

Each to their own though and I completely agree with the concept that some are and some just occupy the role

Rose got a happily ever after though. … eventually……… I think

My better half observed the warning that the Doctor gave all her companions of not being able to promise safety as being a feminine trait that was new to Who, I can’t think of any previous regenerations warning new companions so bluntly either.

Pretty good episode,  especially felt for Graham’s dealing with Grace’s ghost.

Superb episode

I thought that Graham was going to end up having to drive the bus. His reaction to the realisation that he was one of the white passengers (if not the passenger) that meant Rosa would have to give her seat up for was brilliant.

I did a 240 mile charity walk a few years back and whilst stopping for a cup of tea and a slice of cake completed the timeywimey loop and found they had a Tardis hence the avatar

Yes CC made Gran/Grace was shown to be lynch pin for both Ryan and Graham,  possibly hinted at having more than a passing knowledge of Yasmin too, so the Doctor (who remembered their names, wasn’t rude, showed real empathy and sympathy instant gran replacement maybe?) now has two granchildren and a grandfather (who is too old for…[Read more]

Guessing or theories or bonkerising is usually (was willing to be put right by our mods) allowed, insider trading (you know something will happen because you 3rd cousin is the in thd production team or is JW or you’ve seen a something from the next episode even if an official trailer) is somewhat frowned upon

I can already see…[Read more]

Well I’ve now watched for the second time in my little white box on my little black rectangle

Yup Jodie definitely makes the grade as The Doctor

However I still think Gran’s death was veering close to woman in a fridge, for example, a broken arm in a sling making her unable to hold a gubbins and she sees them…[Read more]

Yes @thane16 or more precisely Puro and Thane (or ‘tother way round)

One can never ever have enough coffee, my little steel box in yhe middle of my site in Somerset has two filter machines and a another two cafeterieres for a constant supply of caffeine

Nearly got enough in the bloodstream to start bonkerising…..

Wow, you and the new episode joined together in a timeywimey way there, did you use some Sheffield steel in your repairs too 😁

Missed you all

Hello to those who are thinking who is and hugs to those thinking ut ohh

Think I found enough blue lego under the sofa to make a new Tardis for Jodie

Well, watchd with SWMBO ( who was not really in favour of the change) and we both were pleased with the new Doctor but after such a long wait a little underwhelmed at the story and thought it was a mistake to kill off Gran. It seemed to be the only reason to get Graham on the Tardis when they find it, no reason for Yasmin?
