Hey, we’re in the Solitract!

Erm, HOW do we get back?

Hang on, tell me exactly how many eyes, teeth and arms you have, because you could be a PRETENDER! A sentient universe eating our actual universe and the two can’t co-exist. We’ll go all “kaleidoscope” with our hands.

Test question: who SAID that? (I liked that description). Great…[Read more]

@winston

Right on. Letting go aint easy and with Thane ‘n’ all: letting him solve his problems is the hardest thing I’ve ever done (including Crohns surgery and that’s sayin’ something!).  Your particular political climate IS very difficult. We’re all here in Aus watching with horror as the next statement by The Orange Creature is blasted thru…[Read more]

@craig

Not sure where the comment went about “deleting” a conversation? When we clicked on it, we ended up with the top of ‘The Ghost Monument’ page  – – -but with no pages -like a whole different universe!  A solitract, maybe.

I just scooted thru ALL the comments on this page and was happy to say that  I didn’t “lose it” (as I was prone to do…[Read more]

Frogs are cool 🙂

@kevinwho Who’s saying sorry? Who’s saying so??  Who? Who?

LOL. No need! The above is Mss Evangelista who was ghost looping (not those words, though).

Ah, @pedant Hannah Arendt. Now we’re talking.

Yes, the entire good history of very good telly had many companions/friends/adventurers/fighters.

Billy Shipton was central to the plot of Blink – wi…

@miapatrick @bluesqueakpip Agreed.

“You could argue cracks were showing, and that he was becoming dangerous…”

I found 12 in his night-shirt quite distressing. Walking around London searching for the lost dinosaur? Bleating on the top of buildings? It was almost undignified! People complaining (and I get it, I really do) that the current Doctor…[Read more]

@kevinwho

Or Heaven Sent, where there’s nobody for the Doctor to engage in dialog with. Or Flatline, with the Mysteriously Shrinking TARDIS, and the resulting outrageous scenes of Clara pulling a sledgehammer out of her purse and the Doctor letting his fingers do the walking on the subway tracks.

I think Heaven Sent demonstrated how well the D…[Read more]

I must refer you to @bluesqueakpip who has excellent blogs on the timey whimey nature of the 11th Doctor.

Puro.

@swankycriminal  Good stuff. And welcome to the site….

Yep. I think you answered your own questions. The Doctor -particularly number 12 is very old, he doesn’t remember everything. He simply can’t. Even 11 has issues there. But in Day of The Dr it’s his present. And from then on, I assume he remembers. Missy is the same. But worse. She’s done…[Read more]

@miapatrick @swankycriminal

Absolutely! Miapatrick: Your version is much better than mine. Of course the 11th Doctor remembers only from that point on because he’s the latest iteration and thus going back to meet 10 is the very thing he’s doing now… As you say, because that’s in his past -and his linear, chronological present too.

@swankycriminal   @pedant

Partly, they were “all” there to save Gallifrey at that moment in time. They do not, and cannot, remember ‘out of the cup of soup’ which is how they knew to keep Gallifrey frozen IN that moment (though the Gallifreyans were said to be living normal lives -but in a hidden part of the universe).

It was almost like a…[Read more]

No sand, no effective *sense* that there’s that weig…

@arbutus

I did! Thank you for your wishes. It was so great!  It was an hour and not like the $300 for 8 to 11 minutes which is pretty expensive for the time. This was $67 (I found the receipt because Mum has to get better at hiding things) and the hour also involved walking around the copter and learning what all the different pieces of…[Read more]

@ichabod

Bet I’d feel differently if I had some kids here to watch it with me!

But you do. I’m here. Also, @pedants niece and other assorted kids. They may not be in front of the telly but they’re coming to the site…..

@paul

I’m not sure.

But I actually think three “f” over 19 words isn’t sufficient for alliteration?

Paragraphing is your friend, Paul, especially during persuasive writing: which it was.

Nice to read your opinion.

T16

was it said by people that the Doctor “ate shit”

She’s a shit eating grinner even?

I love that. Almost as if in the chaos of time the writer knew people would be complaining. On one of our other threads a person is saying the last doctor and companion were the best ever. Or was it….Can’t remember. LOL. That might learn them. As mum would…[Read more]

@arbutus

Thank you v3ry much! I liked the 2nd one the best. You can see them all having fun. I have no clue to understanding this music as I mainly like punk, rock 80s rock and then the people from the 50s but this is very interesting music. My head is nodding 🙂  Yeah, it’s nodding! And my foot too!

@whisht

Happy dreams dude.

Thane

@amdamiri I am with @nerys. Also, kinda looks like you’re complaining. Have you seen Rectify? I mean, you can complain ! 🙂 That’s alright! Maybe there was something you liked in the episode too?

@ichabod

As a 17 year old 🙂 I think “gravitas” doesn’t have to be all “old” and “parchment” and “maaaa story iz  soooo long, maaaa memories are soooo…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip @tardigrade

True. That’s a good point. But I liked the frog -I think it’s very ‘Daniel’ from Rectify. It wouldn’t be that would it @cathannabel? Except there was no actual frog – just mentioned by Daniel and Tawnee. I’ll ‘ogle it 🙂

I was concerned it would be a real ominous talking person, all ‘received pronunication’ and filled…[Read more]

@craig! Man that IS AWESOME!  I know this story. I thought I did, I mean. I heard of this

I’m telling Dad.
