    Hello everyone. I wish all of you the happiest of new years. And I hope for all of our sakes that Pete Tyler comes across the void one more time to bring us all over to Pete’s World. All of us except for the Master and his minions, that is.

    @whist, so sorry to hear the double whammy of your friend’s passing and your employment situation.…[Read more]

    Popping in for a moment to wish everyone the best of the season and a much better 2017!

    Been away from the forum for some months for reasons. Not because of you all, but because of stuff IRL and the recent dystopian exercise we went through in the states. And I won’t be back again for a few days to avoid spoilers, since I’m in a media-free home…[Read more]

    @Puroandson

    Been Away From the Keyboard, as they say, for a bit. Lots of local, local politics going on in a community group, plus a lovely musical retreat last weekend.

    How are you holding up? The Southern California winter weather is rapidly becoming more and more like an Australian summer — neither of which are particularly great…[Read more]

    … loving the “Frosty the Snowman doing a wild fandango on the Seventh Gate of Hell” image.

    Sure beats the image of Donald Trump behind the desk in the Oval Office…

    Sending love and TLC your way. I’m grateful you’re so close to good medical facilities, but ICUs are hard for the patient and their family.

    Happy Australia Day. Have you ever considered swapping out the lamb for haggis in honor of Robert Burns’ birthday, complete with bagpipers, toasts, and recitation of Burns’ famous ode to a…[Read more]

    @blenkinsopthebrave and Puro mere,

    From what little I know of Puro mere and Puro fils, it’d probably be best if Puro fils saw it in a couple of years. There are a number of deadly sins on display in the scene with partial nudity, and … SPOILERS OMITTED… I think the moral implications are somewhat more troubling than the amount of skin exposed…[Read more]

    You’ve probably already seen The Big Short by now, but I quite enjoyed it. Are you sure the Washington Post review said it was fatuous? Not fabulous??? Perhaps the reviewer assumed her paper’s readers were more familiar with the complicated financial shenanigans and near total collapse of the world financial system than average…[Read more]

    And thanks for the understanding, @Puroandson. Whew! That’s quite a relief! I’m not a big fan of make-up, so I’m happy to forgo the rouge. What with already being blue as a Tardis and all, the tremendously red visage makes for an overly dramatic in-your-face sort of first impression. Not the sophisticated yet compassionate earth mother look…[Read more]

    Son of Puro, I am so embarrassed. I was not up on all the Australian slang. I NEVER would have used that word to describe Puro’s vanishing had I know or realized its slang context. My sincere apologies to anyone I might have inadvertently offended. Let me make amends by picking up the tab for…[Read more]

    Back at you, @Puro!

    I’ve been lurking on the episode threads, but haven’t had anything to add to the discussion there (and have been distracted by IRL). I logged on a while back to give @purofilion gentle hugs and TLC when she first posted about the effect medication was having on her, but that was about the time she *poofed*…[Read more]

    Changing topics rather abruptly,

    My Pocket app feed today included a searing and fearless *beautifully* written personal essay about having Chron’s disease. Not the sort of thing you’d usually read or discuss in the conviviality of TGIF at the pub, but reading it has given me so much empathy for @Puroandson‘s journey. Here’s the link, for those…[Read more]

    Delighted that you’re posting here.

    In fact, you may be our fist hybrid member. That’s certainly in keeping with one of the themes of season 10.
    Way to go! I haven’t seen much LOL’ing or OMG’ing hereabouts, but you’ll see a fair number of expressive faces interspersed among the verbiage.

    Happy almost birthday, ilion!

    Dear Melissa (@Purofillion)

    I was absolutely gutted when I read your post. I have no words to express what I’m feeling. I can’t imagine what you’re going through right now. My heart is sorrowful and worried about the year and years to come.

    My heart is breaking for your son. No child should lose his mother that young.

    @JimTheFish,

    TY, your fishiness.  I definitely will check out @PhaseShift‘s blog when I have a mo or ten.  Want the time to give it justice.  Have a friend coming over for dinner in less than an hour and no Tardis to cook the turkey in!  Gotta get crackin’

    Seconding, thirding, fourthing, nthing your post #23848

    You’ve succinctly stated what I’ve always thought about River Song: Her adventures and travels with the Doctor were not limited to the time he was Eleven (Smith) or Ten (Tennant). When we first meet her in tSitL, she clearly states she’s seen his faces and has never seen…[Read more]

    @PurpleCup.  Sorry.  Must have confused you with the cat in Caption Competition #51.  No idea why.  My bad.  And @CathAnnabel.  I should learn that when I write treatise-length posts the short window of time to edit disappears before I find and correct most of my typos.

    Such wonderful bonkers theorizing, @all. Welcome, @PurpleCat. Long may you theorize; rarely (I hope) may you continue to lurk. Great introductory posts.  Definitely looking forward to more, whenever you chose to step over the lurkdom threshold.

    @JimTheFish,

    couldn’t have you really bugged about David McCallum now … 1960’s international heartthrob (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) and the best bow tie wearing and opera loving forensic examiner currently on screen in the states (NCIS).

    So I took quick look-sees at reviews of some likely-looking listings on his long list of credits. No slam…[Read more]
