Sutekh seems to be many things and Susan’s company name was “Triad”. Could the one who waits be the next level baddie?

Based on two major threads this season – music, and changes to history (mavity). One could assume, there’s a Goodbye Ruby Tuesday. . . I mean Sunday coming.

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.

Heh! All the important issues covered here 😉

Today’s the first time I’ve heard “pants” used in that context.  Is it a British thing?

I heard Rowan Atkinson (I think) talking once about language in comedy and that using the word “underpants” is inherently more funny than using the word “underwear”.

Now with all the talk about Clara’s demise, I am wondering of the confession dial is hers. Given previous storylines where Clara impersonates the Doctor, I wouldn’t put it past them to do the same here.

In The Magicians Apprentice and Witch’s Familiar, the doctor barely acknowledged the confession dial when presented to him by Missy. What if the doctor has not actually sent the dial to missy yet (in relation to his own current timeline). This would mean he is yet to send it to Missy.
