Hi you! Happy new year. I did, yes. I couldn’t recall what they were called. I was thinking werewolves or forelocks 🙂

Hi doods!

One fun lecture down and bakery to go (long story).  So, I loved it. But Mum cried because our gen has to remove all your mistakes. I saw that in the young mechanic: confident, but scared -when hiding silently from the herd of predators -As kids we’re told to be silent.

Like @arbutus I felt it contained  waay too much stuff? but then I…[Read more]

attained an external herd drive

Outstanding!

if all of the world is a political speech to you, 

No, but the political exists in the polis & every one of us is a part of this.

Except in Africa, parts of Europe & South Africa where a child who isn’t white is worth less than a privileged white American child. National Anthems are…[Read more]

I noticed that when the Doctor said “deep breath” in Babbage’s house, her hand was grabbed by Ada.

Niice.

I see that, as much as the recording by the Doctor for the flying instructions (ECAM -personal -to -Ryan -if it was an airbus?), weren’t a retread, more a homage?

I’ll check for more.

So, is this a Tranquility Base -thingy? I thought Midnight was set on a Tranquility Base? Could be completely wrong. So far no-one has mentioned this (because either my memory is wormy & I don’t have a clue, or any connection exists only in my mind).

Anyway, sorry about the troll reaction. In future, I will mind them as I would an orphan…[Read more]

@drwhoopinion

his episode just lost me and my wife as fans. Soooooo tired of political correctness being preached to me.…

Fucking hell what utter bullshit. You’re still fans. That’s why you’re here. Also so you can complain about actual MANNERS. You’re new here too? I don’t think they take requests. Most members tend to the Left. Well, no,…[Read more]

You’re probably not wrong. The ‘web’ is a multifaceted place which brings all sorts of things. That’s the positive. The negative is that the ‘web’ is multifaceted place which brings all sorts of things.

The different webs are generally ‘acceptable.’ There’s where all  our ‘stuff’ is kept -credit details, logins. The other…[Read more]

@nerys

No worries, Nerys, this wasn’t about you, or about anyone disliking or feeling something. It was a thought, mainly to do with something else I should’ve been clearer about.  I do have a history, I must admit, of  worrying about the ‘internet.’ My main concern was with how clear Yaz was regarding her emotional state. And how people don’t o…[Read more]

@vervain

Agreed. It’s not phallic. I have absolutely no idea why that happened !

To the rest of the gang. I’ve mentioned before,  about 3 years ago, that the internet’s great. Except when people start using terms that others copy. It echoes.

Two years ago: new Doctor. Only now, we have one person ‘admitting’ “oh, actually, it’s flat. No…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave

Them other brains -the newbies!  And @mudlark too.

I’m re- watching Who -the 3rd run now – as a desperate way to avoid comments on the thread to do with the… Dead One (I aint looking, no spoilers: I’m up to episode 3).

Syzygy the Old

@Claire54

maybe I’ve been sleeping through some episodes,

I think probably so. 😉

@mudlark

It is perhaps significant that the Master’s words evoked a flash of visual memory for the Doctor, suggesting some kind of embedded, perhaps racial memory…

Agreed. I think as @blenkinsopthebrave suggested that there’s a deep seated memory, hidden from suc…[Read more]

that’s @mensabrains above. Clearly @rob my morning beverage isn’t as strong by half

😈

Good morning & welcome to the …brains! Holy schmeck, my ol’ brain is a hurting now. @rob I prepared my beverage before attempting to read the thoroughly wonderful posts. Happy NY to you & good to see you out back (or front, or transactionally eternal, no yesterdays, todays, tomorrows, all time pre-existent…!)

@vervain @mensabrain.  Welcome…[Read more]

@galaxymage

I agree on the mind-wipe. My son, didn’t. However, Lovelace saw some truly shattering images & despite her obvious curiosity & later work with Babbage, I would think that exposing her to the Doctor’s world, though briefly, could change Lovelace’s time line. She’s made a considered decision to have Lovelace’s life play out without the…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave @miapatrick

Yes, this is going in a good direction…. An existential “shattering” which corrupts the very basis of what the Doctor has chosen to be: so that he/she is not really a Doctor... But as you say, something to do with the vortex & the child who is timeless, also empty, who is buried deep in nightmares?

What if the…[Read more]

as you were. No ‘r’ in Kasaavin.

so others have this I think but akrasia is Kasaarvin. No great help as it means to act against one’s will. Like incontinence.  Julian Jay Savarin (word find) was a sci-fi writer.

Hmm.

@galaxymage  I meant to add to your complex (and wonderful) theories that in my re-watch the Master says “before you die” or “in your last moments I want you to know that everything you think you know is a lie.”

So, before killing her, he was ready to give her a hint and then “puff.” But being a TL he plans for the possibility he doesn’t…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave up there, apologies.

@missrori

It’s the Doctor, on his own, with other humans (River). It’s Ashildr who is Mire and human. The dynamic of the Doctor with Clara is still complex, enough. However, you might be right  suggesting something deeper. That there’s a ‘thing’ (that’s my word, I’m sticking to it!) the Doctor is responsible for/doesn’t know about/a myth he…[Read more]
