    @bluesqueakpip – good points. There was certainly something with her conversation with Psi about him wiping his memories to protect family and friends.

    it feels they are alluding to Clara not quite knowing something about her own past – perhaps having had her memories wiped/suppressed for the same reasons

  • TheatreGuy replied to the topic Time Heist

    I liked it – a solid adventure, great guest star, and a wonderful supporting team for the Doctor to bounce off of.

    I need to watch again, but something odd seemed to be implied when the Tellor was going into Clara’s memories, I remember noting something important was implied but have now forgotten!

    And The Guardian seem to be very positive about it!

    @phaseshift

    I can’t help but feel that this episode is more important to the overall arc of this series than we can possibly see at the moment.

     

    I was having this discussion with a friend this morning. Although I feel it’s important – I wouldn’t put it past Moffat to make Robot of Sherwood as the most important to the overall ark, just to r…[Read more]

    @barnable I think the young doctor was crying and afraid because he didn’t want to join the army and he couldn’t join the academy (at least that’s what I gleaned from the two older voices)

  • TheatreGuy replied to the topic Listen

    Ok I’m really convinced Clara is related to the Doctor now. She gives the toy soldier to a young Danny, Orson then gives it to Clara saying it’s been passed down as a family heirloom, then Clara gives it to the young doctor.

    Has to be something there

  • TheatreGuy replied to the topic Robot of Sherwood

    I enjoyed it – not nearly as much as Deep Breath and Into the Dalek but still a solid romp of an episode.

    Something about Capaldi didn’t gel will me in this episode (and I hate saying that) – not sure if it was due to the fact this was the first script Moffat was hands off, but something felt amiss. The bickering between the Doctor and Robin…[Read more]

  • TheatreGuy replied to the topic Into the Dalek

    @thommck – Soldiers: I think the rejection of Journey Blue and the Doctors antipathy towards soldiers actually makes good sense with Peter Capaldi. Soldiers are trained to use logic and reason – and not to let their emotions get in the way of making decisions. Could you imagine Peter’s Doctor traveling with a companion who thought that way? he…[Read more]

  • TheatreGuy replied to the topic Into the Dalek

    @ScaryB I noticed too how Journey being picked up by the TARDIS, was similar to Gretchan’s appearance in front of Missy. The only thing that makes me doubt Missy is in a TARDIS is you actually saw Gretchan and even half-face the previous week die (skewered on top of a building in half-faces experience).

    I wonder if the similarity between the two…[Read more]

    @PhaseShift APPLAUSE

  • TheatreGuy replied to the topic Into the Dalek

    @smeglennon have you not enjoyed the show since it game back in 2005? I’m intrigued because if you felt the Danny/Clara stuff you must have hated the RTD era

  • TheatreGuy replied to the topic Into the Dalek

    @fonsini – do people like you actually exist? Danny Pink is an attractive, likeable and intriguing character, and his and Clara’s dialogue seemed something straight out of Coupling. What does his race have to do with anything?

    Seems you have an agenda, not the show…

  • TheatreGuy replied to the topic Into the Dalek

    Just rewatched Into The Dalek again, even better and richer the second time. For a show that often gets accused of writing poorly for women I thought Jenna, Zawe Ashton and Laura Dos Santos were the episodes heart and centre. I like Capaldi and think he’s growing into a fine Doctor – but surrounding him with such amazing talent certainly helps the…[Read more]

  • TheatreGuy replied to the topic Into the Dalek

    Oh and that Clara slap was felt all the way through time and space – another belter from Jenna

  • TheatreGuy replied to the topic Into the Dalek

    Great episode – one of the strongest Dalek episodes since Ecclestone. Zawe Ashton was wonderful as Blue, I’m wondering if Danny Pink was a version of the dead brother – placed in Clara’s way

  • TheatreGuy replied to the topic S33 (7) 10 – Hide

    One thing that struck from Hide was when the Doctor said ‘I don’t, i’m just running her in’ to Clara (speaking about the TARDIS). Surely if the current TARDIS interior was in existence when the Doctor was mourning […]
