    It’s definitely the lighting. The coat looks dark blue but it still has the dark red velvet glow.

    @countscarlioni  on the hybrid: It appears the Doctor truly believes he is the hybrid, but that does not necessarily mean that he’s right. Or perhaps there can be more than one hybrid. It might not be either/or.

    Excellent point — he’s been wrong before, after all.

    @jphamlore  Not only that but for just this one episode, that the Doctor’s pocke…[Read more]

    Assuming the theory that we’re seeing the events of this series in an alternate order from the Doctor is experiencing them, I cannot wait to go back for a re-watch in the “correct” order.  Knowing the “oh, that’s what that line/look meant” in relation to some of the Doctor’s asides with Clara would be fantastic.

    Whoever set up the Doctor’s “personal torture chamber” knew him intimately. 

    Theu knew him well but not intimately. They should know that Doctor never gives up.

    @tardigrade  It occurred to me that the Doctor’s time in the confession dial could be seen as a possible fulfilment of the hybrid prophecy. He’s destroyed a billion hearts (actually more like a trillion), it’s just that instead of it being a genocide, it was suicide – he’s been knocking them off two at a time and they were all his own. And, as wi…[Read more]

    That is a good point!  It would  had to occur before Galifrey got frozen in time.

    But it may be possible.    So she could potentially be someone’s mother?  The one that

    created the hybrid?

    Also, maybe she was the woman holding her head in her hands to Rassilon’s side in the “End

    I’m not so sure about the idea of it as a mini Tardis, bigger on the inside and able to contain the Doctor physically. @tardigrade agrees with this idea, but it seems to me to have a major flaw. As @ichabod says, if that is the case, how does the Doctor enter it? When the external dimensions of the Tardis shrank in Flatline, the Doctor c…

    It has taken me most of the morning to refresh my memory of yesterday’s discussions and to catch up with all the posts from the night shift. So much food for thought!

    @ichabod

    He’s accepting what he feels is just punishment for Clara’s death; and it’s hardly enough, because he needs absolute *masses* of expiation if he’s to move beyond the enor…
