Oooh, the wet squelching — thanks for that — ?  I am cracking up here, over the “old magic”.  Yah, let’s think about it according to preference . . . (hoo hoo hoo!!  My preference varies entertainingly).

@tardigrade  Oh, yes, okay; thanks!  Only he goes on to say something about how you have to “touch between the fronds” or something, which doesn’t sound much like kissing an Elizabeth shaped Zygon to me . . . ?  More like, um, remembering how to, ah, persuasively touch an actual frondy Zygon thing like the “command center” Zygon thing he’s ac…[Read more]

I guess an interspecies relationship with a 900 year age difference had the potential to come off as somewhat creepy.

That potential is always there, IMO. I mean, how did you feel about that throwaway line in Zygon Inversion, where the Doctor says, “I snogged a zygon once — ”  WHAT?  It sure gave *me* paws, as it were!  I do…[Read more]

@arbutus   @tardigrade           This episode showed us that the Doctor could get pretty angry and frustrated with his companion , although he is quick to forgive. I think Rose was much more the “puppy” to the ninth Doctor, scolded and forgiven because she didn’t know any better.She was after all  , only human.  The romantic type of relationship…[Read more]

@tardigrade  @winston    When I watched this again recently, it came as a pleasant surprise how much I enjoyed it. I remembered having been really irritated by the Reaper monsters as I found the concept unconvincing. I would far rather have had a rational reason for why Pete’s death couldn’t be changed, which would have been easy to do given the…[Read more]

@tardigrade  This is one of my favourites form the first series. The story of Rose trying to save her Dad and change her history is something most of us can understand. Which one of us hasn’t thought about doing this. “If I could go back in time I would change…….” But this episode points out the “rules of time travel” pretty clearly. You…[Read more]

@tardigrade

I think you are right, begin with David Tennant.

@nightfell

You can always go back and watch Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor at a later date – when you’ve settled in, as it were.

Cheers,

Missy

@tardigrade I like that idea!  Ms Ward is still lovely as ever and that would be a wonderful surprise for the fans.  I like it better than my Time Lady regeneration into a ballerina, ha ha.  Plus,  I doubt Sarah Lamb would leave her position as lead dancer for the Royal Ballet for any role in reality.  Of course, if they insisted on a rege…[Read more]

@ichabod @tardigrade

It was simply a riff on the idea that we have yet to have River’s enigmatic remark from Name of the Doctor explained. They have a 24 year long night to do some ‘splainin’, so to speak. Make (or more likely adopt) human kiddywink. Arrange for her to be adopted on Earth (I think it was @bluesqueakpip who noted that we did not…[Read more]

@tardigrade

I has just occurred to me that you might wonder why I didn’t want any spoilers.Some of the members know.

I ordered Series 9 from Amazon, so didn’t watch the last 6 episodes, preferring to wait

until I get the DVD.

However, the Christmas special I could watch, as long as there were no references to Clara’s leaving the…[Read more]

This is from an old post long before we knew River was coming back, and the original back and forth on this topic can be found in the Silence in the Library thread.  I still feel the exactly the same, and so why rewrite?  🙂  @tardigrade and others wondering how River will find a way to project from the Library, well, I think we see it with Ta…[Read more]

@puroandson  Puro Solo,  the little reference to Clara’s tune when River begs the Doctor to find a loophole and he says “sometimes things end”,

Okay, that answers my major question: this is CapDoc *post-Clara*, having traveled back in time to a Christmas season between Angels Take Manhattan and Silence in the Library.  This is the echo we need…[Read more]

@tardigrade: I think the pattern is that in the new series, Doctors have one companion with an extreme emotional relationship, and then a follow-up companion they can hold more at arms length.  Thus the Tennant Doctor had Rose, the Smith Doctor had Amy, and the Capaldi Doctor had Clara as their extremely close emotional companions, but then the…[Read more]

And a happy Saint Stephen’s Day to all. Wasn’t that fun? River and Twelve were predictably great together, her speech about the Doctor was beautifully done, and the recognition scene afterward even better. And so many fun bits I can’t keep track of them all. Of course, I loved the Doctor’s “bigger on the inside” moment.

Based on his words to Ri…[Read more]

@jphamlore  Losing Moffat both as showrunner and lead writer would be a tremendous loss for the show. In some sense I think he is speaking to us as fans, telling us to enjoy the moments we have left with him.

Good point — and whether he’s telling us that or not, it certainly is my intention to do just that!  Though another 24 years might be a t…[Read more]
