@craig it’s fantastic that you help -not just for a day a year (nothing wrong with that) but twice a week. That’s a tremendous commitment. I was reading about food insecurity in the UK, via the Food Foundation Tracker where 15% of UK households experienced real difficulty putting together any kind of meals at the beginning of this year. Aus…[Read more]

@ps1l0v3y0u

crikey and hells bells of St John you never said dome-shaped heads of ….anyone. (though perhaps in another timestream).

As you were.

And yes (edit) RTD likes massive buildups, flying things with pointy sharp bits, listing baddies, and computer or TV screens which judder about but slowly show important or final name of ….. Big Bad

@blenkinsopthebrave of course, Molsdorf is her new nickname now.  😊

the theory of @juniperfish that Ruby is Horus deposited by Isis… is a very good one (apologies if Son & I mixed up our gods!) & those who paused on Ruby’s mum’s chin to be certain enough she’s human or human -looking, helps too. Admittedly, when I originally saw the first ep…[Read more]

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

“So Set was killed by Horus, god of light…”

“The world is facing the greatest peril in its history. The forces being summoned into corporeal existence are more powerful and more dangerous than anything even I have encountered.”

We never saw PoM, so this is fun homework (is there any other kind?)

thanks Craig! -PuroandSon

Yes, the cloaked figure may well be Old Ruby in a timey whimey way @scaryB !

interesting that in Rogue, Ruby was very nearly trapped & I wonder if this is signalling at least one possible future out of all the time streams or multiverses. Is time collapsing in certain timestreams? Are tiny decisions, the ones we regularly make every day, leading…[Read more]

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@mudlark @pufferfish @whohar @bunface and calling those with knowledge of Horus … People have suggested Ruby is part of an altered reality. Has she been placed in different time streams by the Doctor to fight Sutehk?

And, as others noted, when Kate articulates her chrysalis theory, Ruby arrives at UNIT with her VHS. S Triad is the vessel for e…[Read more]

Sutehk’s doghead brings us back to the Beatles singing “My dog he’s alive he’s not dead” in Devil’s chord.

@pufferfish @juniperfish and Roam is from the B52s album Cosmic Thing… (also containing the brilliant Love Shack).

It’s interesting re-reading comments on 73 yards — @wolvesarerunning “everyone who meets Spooky Ruby manifests that original loss” is most interesting considering the recent episode.

@juniperfish also “when the Doctor has to restore the timeline …Ruby will have to vanish like the changeling she is- back into faerieland.”

Now, considering t…[Read more]

@dr-pepper-bean

I don’t think the Dr needs to be punished. Since 2005 the Dr has carried a burden associated with this work, with his name. We know he’s saved countless billions.

I’ve noticed we’ve moved away from the Dr being the sole saviour, particularly since the Moffat era & into Chibnall’s, the ‘companions’ have had to solve their planet’…[Read more]

@juniperfish I like it! “ That in an alternative universe the Doctor said yes.”

ooh, yes, I think you’re onto something here. The TARDIS groaning & the fact we have STRIAD/Sutehk appearing everywhere (& in places we haven’t specifically seen) Ruby & Doctor travelled in the universe.

That we have 2 TARDIS perhaps one is an Alt reality where t…[Read more]

@scaryb @juniperfish @mudlark et. al.

Yes, this is juicy! ScaryB, yes, something is very odd about Ruby -Maestro says “she has music hidden in her soul…. This creature is VERY wrong. And HE can’t have been there that night!”
@unitpicker “she could of course be the real Susan.” Oh yes! That’s most intriguing.

Juniper -yes, me too. How can the f…[Read more]

@bunface “not as a costume” -in other words, originally playing at dressing up, to a point… Now, the Doctor is more fully immersed in this culture -he wears what he wants, as he wants which is precisely what we humans do. He is thus more natural, fully at ease in himself…. Or is he? 😉 As you intimated, too.

A VERY good point bunface….

@miapatrick. Yes indeed, perhaps pressed for time though, he said “a different face, same person” but Matt’s Doctor phoned Clara to “help” this new Doctor because he would need her… and as he was so very different to the previous incarnation….  Absolutely. A friend like Mel must tell us truth – you’re amazing but get up! To have a  friend one tru…[Read more]

@bunface –very interesting yes…learned human social graces (?), which, to others like Kate, may seem odd or different for the same reason characters in the Doctor’s previous iterations (2006-2016) found his occasional coldness, his “jibber-jabber” timey whimey quite jarring. It is the centuries -long question, as you say, thoughts, or deeds-…[Read more]

@miapatrick I should clarify that I don’t mean to describe the Doctor as vain but rather they had a smell of vanity, occasionally -in the way it might be perceived by earthlings…In Gridlock the Doctor admits “I lied and I liked it. This way I could pretend. That they were still alive [context is everything!].”

Puro.

@miapatrick yes! I recall Tennant & Capaldi mentioning their vanity: the conversation with Martha in Gridlock fraught with loss & memories of “the mighty citadel under twin suns with fields of deep red grass, capped with snow.” And he didn’t want to share this, as to make it concrete was to no longer contain despair…

and yes: blind or vain, b…[Read more]

@bunface Yes I see what you mean.

And the Capaldi iteration had a carer: “Clara cares so I don’t have to” so possibly there’s a more relaxed Doctor wearing heart on sleeve; carefully introducing characters to Gallifrey; to Susan; & ruminating on potential children…

Perhaps in keeping with his new personality: confident in himself; putting o…[Read more]
