    @PhaseShift I you haven’t already bought a Mary Poppins outfit I’m going to be disappointed 😉 In fact I bet you are wearing it right now! XD

  • Spider replied to the topic Dark Water

    I loved (most) of this episode. In particular the Doctor& Clara, with him not caring that she had betrayed him. That hit me right in the feels!  And poor Danny! Did not expect THAT at the start. Shocker! The Cybermen were no surprise, too many spoilers around for me not to have known that in advance. Still, the ‘reveal’ with the 2 doors was very…[Read more]

    What? What WHAT! 😮

    @purofilion

    I’ve had the nickname ‘Spider’ for many years, partly due to the irony that I can’t stand spiders and partly for other reasons far too convoluted to explain (even here in good old bonkers land). So that is why I’m bouncing not scuttling! 😀  I think there is still a large dent in my sofa from me trying to burrow into it during the…[Read more]

    Ok for the record of musings on the finale. I don’t think Missy is the Master, I think she is some sort of Death minion of some…type. Really would like there to be some new big bad we haven’t seen before.

    Clara, that I just can’t decide. So many things! Evidence obviously points towards her being some sort of pawn? in Missy’s plan. But what…[Read more]

    All saints day! ohh I hadn’t made that connection, nice one @purofilion. Now I’m probably going to have some sort of manic dream about that 😉 *kidding*! Or…am i 😮

    @Miapatrick and @purofilion  also glad it’s not just me XD

    Now. If we all end up having the SAME dream tonight…that would be weird 😉

  • Spider replied to the topic On The Sofa (5)

    Times when you know you are far too obsessed….

    Had a rather vivid and vaguely disturbing dream last night that woke me up in the middle of the night, general apocalyptic badness, cities bombed, oh no where is the family, must find people, running round, angry mobs etc. And at one point in the dream while running away from some angry looting mob…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic On The Sofa (5)

    @beancounter, yes you are right in that the people Missy meets are random and not all the people who die on DW show up there – however, this is only what we have been allowed to see, it may be there is far more going on and we just haven’t seen it on screen. In the Caretaker episode Seb does reference that they have ‘had a few in’ from the stovax…[Read more]

    The Doctor is at least 2000 years old. Because he was ~1000 years old (ish – possibly younger, I think 904 was said in Voyage Of The Damned) when 10 regenerated into 11. And 11 spent at least 1000? years on trenzalore, plus there was at least 200 years of him time travelling about when Amy and Rory weren’t traveling with him. Plus probably lots m…[Read more]

    Hi @commishkc sorry to hear you aren’t enjoying this season.  I do agree a little bit about the social media comments aren’t needed, I also am not a huge fan of having too many kids in episodes (and they haven’t been in ALL the episodes) but personally I think in this latest episode it works well (the kids) as being something quite different.

    I…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic In the Forest of the Night

    Having watched the episode again tonight I’ve completely changed my mind about it. On first watch I thought it was a bit ‘meh’ in general and pretty weak. But watching again (admittedly when its not so late and I’ve had less to drink ;)) there are so many lovely moments. Seeing the Doctor react with kids, Danny/Clara dynamic. Clara having to cope…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic In the Forest of the Night

    Oh and another thing i forgot to say, the girl sister of child-i-have-forgotten-name-of who appears from the bushes in a haze of golden flashes and gives a lovely smile? My immediate thought was ‘future companion’ 😀

  • Spider replied to the topic In the Forest of the Night

    Overall, have to say although i did enjoy a lot of elements of that it was mostly very disappointing. Not with the Characters/Actors, who were great, or the story which was good… but there was something just very MEH about the whole package for me. Now, that is on first watch, will have to see it again. But i think it was in a lot of places one…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Flatline

    With Clara changing too ‘quickly’ for some, i agree with @JimmyP that there looks like there have been lots and lots more episodes than we have actually seen on screen and so more dynamic/change. Which personally I love because it leaves more ‘gaps’ for other novels/stories/fanfic to fill. So i think the timescales for it all happening with her…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Flatline

    @ScaryB hee hee! No probs, great minds do indeed think alike 😉 Nice to have someone backing me up (since I wasn’t entirely sure I was remembering bits of episodes correctly).

    Ah ok, cheers for the reference. I’m kind of torn about whether or not I’d want to see River again, on the one hand I’d like that story line to be finished but on the other…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Flatline

    @MelloYello I think it has been explained why she doesn’t know the other Doctors:

    As @thommck said Clara suffers memory loss after coming back out of the Doctors time stream so she doesn’t actually remember meeting any of the other Doctors? Although I can’t remember if this is established as a fact in the episode or just an assumption on our part…[Read more]

    @fangirl.slowly  (dunno if this link has worked properly) welcome!  Glad to hear you are obsessed, i think you have come to the right place 😀

    Yes there is an episode that hints towards Jack being the face of Boe, but it is a slight tease and we do not know if that is really the case. Ep is Last of the time lords with Doctor 10 (not 11), Jack a…[Read more]

  • Spider commented on the post, Missy

    I second @ScaryB with the removal of even semi-spoilers. @DrBen was really good enough to add good warnings in, but please, should not be in here at all IMO!  I also managed to not read what it said, but  only […]
