I was pleased that the environmental issue was done a bit more subtly than in Orphan 55, also the supporting cast were,…[Read more]

First shot is huge close up of Ruth’s watch (i.e Time!) it also has dark blue coloured hands, and the push button to the right is blue as well.  Also when she looks in the mirror, it’s hexagonal! Very minor and subtle things but surely n…[Read more]

That is a good point.

I suppose it has indeed been a while since we saw the Doctor do such a thing- therefore they felt a reminder was needed for those who did not know or had either forgotten (ha, see what I did there! XD).  And it is easier to do that with characters in the current story than maybe have a flashback and have to…[Read more]

Did not expect Jack at all, what a great surprise! When we first heard the voice I wondered if it was him but went “nah, surely not” only for him to appear!  I think it had to be someone significant to pass on the message about the lone Cyberman because it means the Doctor will take a…[Read more]

As with lots of others here one of the sticking points I had was the non mind wipe of Tesla/Edison, which just meant that the mind wipes in Spyfall II really jarred all the more.  I can just about go with the “…[Read more]

Or maybe Thirteen knows everything was ok because she also lived through that 70+ years when she was Twelve in…[Read more]

5 stages of grief perhaps?

Well, wow! That has been a great start to the new series! Much better than last series – which I did enjoy but felt was lacking a bit in a few areas – one of which was a lack of proper villains for the Doctor to face up to and riff-off. This (and to be fair last years New Years special)…[Read more]

I caught the ‘don’t stop me know’, which indeed was the Queen…[Read more]

That. Was. Amazing.

Seeing the old console room made me squee out loud. The doors even made the noise!

I was convinced at the start the Doctor was talking to a Clara echo that he had sought out and that it was her who didn’t recognise him. That was VERY cleverly done.

And the barn! And the Doctor on the bed. And Gallifrey and … y’now…[Read more]

That was fantastic! Too much to take in right now. A very different episode, a very different idea. My only slight criticism is it did drag a little bit in places at the start. But Capaldi was splendid in this. The bit when he says something along the lines of ‘but you still won’t be here’ about Clara I think I must have got a bit of…[Read more]

I agree that future episode titles (and perhaps any specific quotes from people about upcoming episodes?) might be better under approved spoilers. Personally i prefer the discussions and bonkers in this forum to just be based on what we have…[Read more]

Yeah my annoyingly analytical brain goes haywire with any little bit of info so i have to try not and feed it. For example had to really quickly stop reading the last post by @bluesqueakpip as i felt that was starting to go too far (i dunno if it did or not as i didn’t read).

Totally agree everyone is different as to what is a…[Read more]

I didn’t even know the name of the next episode (i mean the one next weekend not the one today – which again i only found out here) and i haven’t heard the Moffat interview as i try and stay away from such things (i have a backlog of…[Read more]

All in all i really enjoyed this epiosode and thought it very clever. Loved the way it was filmed. On first watch i had started to twig something was off when i was sure we were seeing Clara’s point of…[Read more]

I had been very skeptical about Osgood coming back, as I feared it…[Read more]

How fortunate for the Doctor that Ashildr did not decide to accelerate the rate of human progress to get off this rock.

Or, maybe she did accelerate it and that’s why we are where we are now! 😉

Oh and other things I forgot to mention, loved the Jack Harkness reference, and also let out a cheer at the shout out to The Visitation, yay!…[Read more]

The bit where Ashildr realises she does actually care made me think of when Twelve has his moment in Death In Heaven with Missy (when he announces ‘I am an idiot’). Ashildr…[Read more]

Ok, now caught up with comments. Overall I really enjoyed the episode. The scene cut from the practicing with real swords to the u…[Read more]

On second watch it all fell together a lot better. Like the way it builds the tension and then we get the…[Read more]

Have read through best I can all the comments, lots of very interesting discussions as always.

Overall I loved it. Was laughing out…[Read more]

Although I kind of see what you are getting at, I disagree. Clara is NOT happy whatsoever with having to deal with Missy – but she has to go with it, for now, if she wants to get what shes wants – that is, finding the Doctor.

I think we need to to remember that just a few episodes ago for us is not the same timescale for the…[Read more]

He knows Missy was the one responsible for putting them together in the first place. And they BOTH came to find him. Plus it was Missy he entrusted his last will and testament too. there is a lot going on there

And LOL to ‘lovebombing’ the daleks. Oh that had me in stitches.

Oh my! THAT is how you open a series. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the like!

I had suspected Davros so pleased I got that right. Knew Missy was back and Gomez as before was fabulous.

I had assumed the Doctor’s ‘will’ had gone to…[Read more]

The Doctors “Attention deficit … something” made me chuckle.

Ah poor Doctor, running from the darkness and trying to put things off. Capaldi is just fab here. Serious to silliness and back again seemlessly.

So only a few hours to go! I would try…[Read more]

Given my track record, this will now become the thing most likely to not happen XD

But regardless, i do think we are up for an absolute cracker of a…[Read more]

Sisters of karn! Yay!

These lines just made me laugh lots.

Why do you always assume i’m lying?

It saves time.

But now totally confused! Although I think most of what is being said is re Gallifrey/Master/Missy, but having been fairly wrong about almost ALL of series 8 I shall just have to wait and…[Read more]

Hmm, ok time for emergency procedures, Strax – fetch the memory worm … and the gloves this time.

As for the look of the boneless, I thought in some scenes they looked a lot like a Lidar scan with visible imagery imposed on top – which I thought was pretty cool since it’s 2D creatures trying to be 3D  – which is exactly what a Lidar scan is trying to…[Read more]

Have been away from here longer than I meant to be. Would love to have the excuse of not being able to pilot my TARDIS properly but sadly I STILL don’t own one.

Not caught up on all the discussions but just in passing, I am a big fan of GoT and looking forward to seeing more of series 5! It’s the characters that I love in this ……[Read more]

I guess thanks to you I will enjoy watching the next Season more than I would have without reading another persons thoughts. (:

What you say here pretty much sums up what I’ve found with this forum and all the brilliant people on it. The discussions, the debates always bring up something I hadn’t noticed in an episode, or a different…[Read more]

I also second (or third or whatever count we’ve got to) not removing the PM function if at all possible.

@FatManInABox if you like we could all spam you a PM saying we love your profile and could you send us your e-mail address,…[Read more]

I  don’t think you insulted anyone (certainly not me), just that with that sudden outburst I’m afraid you opened yourself up for some very sarcastic retorts – I’m afraid I couldn’t help myself ;…[Read more]

Looking again, it’s maybe not stuff from the full 60s trailer (although I think there are snippets) the one I’m really meaning is one of the ones released before the main trailers. These seemed to be called ‘teasers’ rather than trailers, and the one I’m really…[Read more]

So, having now seen all of the episodes and then looking back at the various trailers for Series 8 before any episodes…[Read more]

A few hours to go for me yet – will be happily watching the Edinburgh fireworks on the tele with my Mum, Dad and Brother while sitting by a warm stove with an extremely large glass of Whisky.
