Duct tape, bungee cords and fence wire… oh yeah, and cable ties…

@janetteb

Well said.

Indeed, we need these kinds of stories more than ever now (Dear Britain, sorry about the trumpocalypse, ergh). Tribalism and fear of The Other is a running theme in human history, and we need to be vigilant. News and facts are fine, but stories go down deep and bring up the heart of truth.

Perhaps those who did not have…[Read more]

So much going on in this episode I have to watch it again (I’m watching on Amazon, the only way I can get it).

Malorie Blackman, well done. More please.

Relevant to what’s going on now, and scary that it might rear its ugly head in the future.

Weird that it starts in the year of my birth, 1955, I was four months old at the time of Rosa’s moment…[Read more]

PS: the East Berlin PA (USA) library is a wonderful place where I can borrow DVDs for free…

They have Doctor Who: Lost in Time, Collection of Rare Episodes

It’s several William Hartnell episodes from 1963 to 1966 (when I was 8 to 11 years old). A couple episodes are audio only, which is odd, because you have to imagine the action, and it is…[Read more]

@juniperfish … as a child who was definitely wired differently, I really wanted a hero to evoke that quality of “it’s OK to be your own wild self”. Sadly, it was the 50s and 60s, across the pond in the US and mostly we had westerns and cop shows. Well, then there was Star Trek… and Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and other science fiction and…[Read more]

Thanks to the Australians who defined “a cup of tea, a Bex and a good lie down…”

I really need to go to Australia…

wait….

Donna’s Diner…

huh?

Thanks to all the fine folks who analyzed “Nevada” and trucks. Silly me for not recognizing a Ford Bronco… but then, I’m better at recognizing real “broncos” (various equines). >D

The bonkers theories are nearly more fun than the show.

Did I mention that I love the way they play with time and the timelines of stories? And how much space they…[Read more]

Diners… 8)

a sampling from a Pennsylvania diner…

pierogi-style omelette with garlic mashed potatoes, onions and American cheese. served with homefries, your choice of bacon, ham, or sausage and your choice of toast… bacon, burgers, fries (the chunky old fashioned kind), hash browns, pancakes (blueberries, chocolate chips, or…[Read more]

First of all… brilliant episode and season!

Also the insightful critiques and analysis by all you fans. Despite owning The Scarf (hand-crocheted by a friend’s mom in the early 80s) and a hat that might go with it, and being able, since the 80s, to say “exterminate!” with the proper accent, I’m a bit of a Newvian, as I couldn’t really watch the…[Read more]

@serahni

“Capaldi you sodding genius.”

Yep.

Accurate post is accurate.

Enjoying the comments from the Aussies and Canadians…

Been to Canada (to the bottom of the St. Lawrence River, in fact: shipwrecks, really big crayfish, and cute dive boat guys)(and to the World’s Fair back in the…eh…. 60s somewhere)(also, my favorite Iditarod/Yukon Quest teams seem to be Canadian… also the only ones gutsy enough to run…[Read more]

wait…waht?

what was that about the Star Spangled Banner?????

(Embarassed American slinks off to adjust eardrums)

Why is the Doctor doing the SSB???

There’s an overall sense of the tangulation of time being discussed here… that the episodes themselves aren’t necessarily in a linear order. If that is indeed the case, it would be an interesting concept.

I mean, time lords don’t travel in straight lines either. Why should their stories?

What did I just see….

…and who’s been poking around in my nightmares… stairways to nowhere, doors that open onto walls (or more doors), buzzing flies, creepy lurching veiled thingies (why do they always creak and lurch and move reallllly slooooow?!?!?).

Capaldi… capaldicapaldicapaldi…omg.

Love the conversations with Clara, how she is…[Read more]

Well, hello everyone!

Just found this site, and while I am hardly a Newvian (having heard of Doctor Who and seen snippets of it since I joined general fandom in the early 1980s) I have not been able to consistently watch it until now (online, on Amazon).

I love the comments and insights on this episode and am looking forward to reading…[Read more]
