BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

Now for my replies…

@idiotsavon congrats on the “Don’t Think” prediction. It seems like we are being asked to go against our human nature a lot this series.

@bluesqueakpip Was the teleport really the same effect as Gretchen’s? I didn’t recognise it as such. Are you saying that from memory or did you go back and double check!?

@ScaryB – Doctor…[Read more]

@Theatreguy – well, Clara did have her memory wiped in another Stephen Thompson script – Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS. That was the episode where she both saw The History of The Time War (‘So that’s who…) and the Doctor’s name ( on that little tiny…).

And it was very carefully established that The Teller brings…[Read more]

@ScaryB – no, still want a cup of tea about twenty minutes in. 😉

@TheatreGuy I think the most important implication about Clara’s memories isn’t the memories as such – it’s that she’s feeling incredibly guilty about something. Both times, the Teller locks on to Clara.

They give her an in-story reason to feel guilty – she’s gone on a date with…[Read more]

@TheatreGuy when the Teller was getting at her memories, I thought that there was some kind of reference to her time in the Doctors time stream, and wondered if she was trying not to think of it.

Then when the Doctor used him to undo the effect of the memory worm, I wondered if she might have begun to remember something about it that she had lost.

@theatreguy

I wouldn’t put it past Moffat to make Robot of Sherwood as the most important to the overall ark, just to really throw us all a curve ball

How we’ll all kick ourselves, as the secret of the series is revealed to lie beneath Friar Tuck’s robe! 😉

I meant to mention actually – I watched that episode twice and didn’t recognise T…[Read more]

Ok.  Just did MY second watching and am ready to fire! 🙂

Missy reappearing definitely creeped me out! More on her later. (But don’t expect me to be very serious.)

Question: When did they get cleaned up after the protein bath?!  The climbed in the “bolt” hole, and one commercial break later they were nice and dry.
Danny Pink: is there some sin…[Read more]

As ever, so much to comment on!

I really enjoyed the episode, I love these ones that are a bit quieter, despite all the explosions and outer space bits, it is more about what is being said than done. Here’s my breakdown and comments

Danny Pink – I thought people’s comments on a link between Journey Blue and Danny Pink to be a bit of a long shot…[Read more]

@TheatreGuy @JimTheFish

I’ll take a bow, and thanks.

I don’t particularly like the approach, but I think it may be beneficial for some people to learn they can take the time to type what they want, but ultimately we have a singular BIG RED BUTTON that can send their ill thought-out mindwank to the ether.

For those concerned by the welfare of…[Read more]

@TheatreGuy Danny Pink as version of dead brother – interesting idea.  I like it!

Pink/Blue names – notice that they’ve reversed the usual gender connotations.

Another thought about Danny – wondering if he’ll follow Clara one day – into the junkyard perhaps – to find out what she’s up to with the old guy and the blue box.  Clara’s reminding me m…[Read more]

@TheatreGuy – yes, it is odd. And while it may prove to be nothing, in the coming next part at the end of Hide, the Doctor says ‘you can have the machine’.

It might simply turn out that he wants to hide what […]

@theatreguy But in the mini-episode last night we see the Doctor taking River to the singing towers, and it’s 11 who takes her.

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@TheatreGuy —-I’ve never even heard of Sindy–and I thought Barbie was universal, like Mickey Mouse, so I sit corrected.

@HTPBDET —-Your final logic against the Bad Wolf Clara idea is my number one reason […]

@TheatreGuy – you can’t upload, and unfortunately can’t embed images either …

Best you can do is link I’m afraid: http://www.flickfilosopher.com/flickfilos/art/dwfathersdayrings.jpg

Its the same make and […]

Welcome to all new first-posters!

@TheatreGuy I like the deduction that perhaps Clara’s Mum died in the Time War.

@Shazzbot Yes – why was the leaf different?! Does that, perhaps, tie-in with @ScaryB ‘s […]
