4th viewing tonight (a little obsessed now I think).

yes he definitely remembers each incarnation but he only remembers when he gets to the wall – never before.  That alone must be torture for him.

@mudlark

You’re spot on about a rebirth when he leaves the dial. It fits in with some of this series themes of inversion and death and…[Read more]

Thanks @countscarlioni

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

For those who like their rock n roll can I suggest you try out a band call The Tea Party. I’m sure all you Canadians out there already know of them. Here’s some samples of the best work

I had the pleasure of…[Read more]

Howdy all,

It’s Friday night and it’s beer o’clock so just jumped in to share a thought I had. I wasn’t sure which forum was most appropriate for this so I’ll dump it here.

I re-watched TMA the other day and something about the Doctor’s statements that he is A doctor, plus the continual serpent imagery throughout the series set off a lightbulb…[Read more]

@doctordoctorwho

ahh yes. Just rewatched with volume up<i>.</i> Too many concerts and loud music over the years has taken its toll on my hearing. Thanks for clearing it up

When you watch DW for long enough, any part of an episode no matter how insignificant can appear to be a reference or call back to another episode or story arc. But hey that’s half the fun of DW – trying to figure out what is relevant, what is not, and what fuels the next round of bonkers theories which is done so beautifully in this forum.

So…[Read more]

Just got home from AC/DC concert in Sydney. Such a great band. They sounded the same as the last time I saw them 20 years ago. Wondering if anyone out there has seen them recently and what they thought of them

@purofilion

After typing out the below I decided I better move this to the sofa as I was getting a bit political, (which I don’t normally do).

re Osgoods death. Yes, the emotional payoff was massive. At the time I had forgotten about zygon Osgood and was disappointed that they had killed her off. Then I remembered and denial kicked in and…[Read more]

I think the Osgood puzzle is an interesting one. I doubt we will ever find out which one she is, and maybe that is the point. It shouldn’t matter whether she is human or Zygon. If anyone was to find out, then perceptions of her may change with possible judgments made. “Oh, she’s Zygon. Can I trust her?”.

Imagine identical twins, both ra…[Read more]

When Ashildr mentions a death is required to activate the amulet the doctor says something like

Every death causes a tiny fracture in reality

a fracture. . .  like a ripple.

Now how many Claricles have died throughout history saving the doctor?

Enough to create a tidal wave?

@starla

yes I thought it strange that ashildr would be so dismissive…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox

was too busy squeeing my pants at ‘the news’. It took 3 swift mugs of coffee to calm me down

Are you talking about Tennant’s new audio dramas. I’ve never listened to any but that seems like a good place to start.

Careful anyone googling Doctor Who news. The second article in my search result mentioned potential serious spoilers for…[Read more]

After reflecting on the ending of the episode where Ashildr can be seen in the photo, I got a “Watcher” vibe from her. It made me feel uneasy just like first time the Watcher appeared so long ago. That sense of foreboding. . .

@purofilion

in this house, dodgy horror = good horror but I stopped watching the paranormal movies at about number 4 I think. Watched a cracker the other week called “It Follows”. Check it out if you have a chance.

interesting time for Aussie cricket. Golden age definitely over but I’m hopeful some of these kids will stand up and if the Mitch’s…[Read more]

@puroflion.

Lol. No footy here in Oz now (unless you like soccer – but let’s not revisit that thread). Waiting for cricket season to get into full swing.

theres so many snake/serpent/dragon references in human history. I find it amazing that nearly every culture has them part of their mythology. It must tap into something primal going back to…[Read more]

@purofilion

To keep with the recent musical theme, “Ramble On” I say.

Well said and I think it sums up how a lot of fans feel.

Your comments re our connection to DW have spurred my to put my jumbled thoughts into some sort of coherent post.

One of the the ways the audience connects with DW is via the companions. Since the show originally…[Read more]
