Architectural reconfiguration?

@Shazzbot It’s the main thing I’ve got from this site! Never really watched the show in that way, it adds a whole new bonkers dimension 😀

Also picked up the focus on motherless children (perhaps including […]

@Shazzbot She said she came to stay ‘with friends’ for a week before travelling, but then the Mum died and she has stayed for a year.

Converse to Harvey (Artie? Nah) also being trapped on the asylum planet for […]

About Clara; perhaps they’ll explain the leaves, missing years, mystery photographer, penchant for dying near epic ladders (another mirror there I think; one going into the earth, the other to the sky), shop woman […]

@Shazzbot the tendency in nu-Who to have companions with complicated family lives

I suspect, first, it’s simply to act as replacement for that family he’s (seemingly) lost and perhaps he does a bit likewise. […]

@ardaraith  I would prefer to see the Doctor’s unique worldview and moral code explicitly expressed.  It would delight me to see a human perspective contrasted with that of an alien species, and both respected. […]

@HTPBDET I think this arc is about, in its simplest terms, how the Doctor needs his friends to survive.

Hmm, isn’t there some literary thing about heroes being surrounded with allies/friends while villains are […]

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

I’m not that eloquent but

@HTPBDET I admit to the fact that I was afraid to make the Hartnell and Regeneration posts – I was worried that there were not what you younger and cooler folk wanted

No need […]

@ardaraith Ah. Just when I thought I was onto something! Like the matriochka stuff during the first half. Speaking of blue light/into water, red light/away from fire. I may still be seeing things which aren’t there 🙂

I don’t really have theories; new at this. Erm… some other (ally) 7.1 characters will make a reappearance? Still curious about the voice-overs for those (missed theorising there) and the Shakri not appearing […]

@ardaraith That was interesting! The monk’s voice did remind me of the Gunslinger though. A meddling monk? 🙂

@Bluesqueakpip I hadn’t thought of mirrors for Clara before. Well, apart from Emma Grayling.

@Bluesqueakpip There’ve been a lot of characters mirroring the Doctor, this half of S7. In Bells of St John it might have been the GI; in fact it’s possible the GI absorbed more of Troughton’s Doctor than he […]

He just took the cot from Demon’s Run didn’t he? Hmm, just saw otherwise. Mind you, how did they get it?

@blenkinsopthebrave (There is some reference to him being the lonely boy.For the moment I have forgotten […]

@Shazzbot (Speaking of ‘Hide’ – what the F was that episode named for?  No-one was hiding or needed to hide in that story, even the Doctor.)

I thought it referred to the secrets people hid, truths obscured from […]

Bit of a callback but the discussions on Caliburn House and The Library? Cal: I burn.

In the history of the show, have people explicitly referred to The Doctor by his regenerations? Just wondered from all the […]

Hello all, another mostly lurker from the other place! Much prefer this one of course. A little thing that’s niggled me is that ‘rapture of summer/summer falls’ mention; had thought it (obviously?) meant Clara as […]
