Ooooh, lots of lovely juicy theories, thanks everyone.

@Lisa and others – Post-it notes

Well obviously Clara has stumbled into Steven Moffat’s workroom by mistake and is faced with massive spoilers of her own life, predestination paradoxes and a sneaky paranoia that she is being watched. And possibly controlled by an unseen presence! 😉

@TheBrainOfMoffat – No, it wouldn’t. -_- Pregnancy makes for good drama, most women have children, and the best time to have a child is in one’s 20′s. We know that Clara likes children, and she’s in the latter half of her 20′s, if I recall, so it’s a good, realistic, time. I would like to see this kind of complaint about Moffat disappear, b…[Read more]

@TheBrainOfMoffat – Someone earlier got me to thinking about the hand in Day of the Doctor: when the Doctors emerge from the painting, Clara follows them out, but we first see a hand that, if I remember correctly, seems to be the hand of the opposite side. Who would reach across themselves to grab onto something like that? It always looked weird…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave    Yes. I really enjoyed this, all on it’s own. Someone earlier suggested that it was only interesting as part of the arc, but I disagree. I enjoyed the story for it’s own sake, and felt that the character development was touched on only lightly.

@zeitgeis   I’m not sure that we have really learned anything that we didn’t alr…[Read more]

I feel some people are over-egging the gravity of the plot so firstly (along with those awful puns) I present the origin of the moon-egg 😉

Here is some useful official BBC content that helps clear up a lot too

@TheBrainOfMoffat – 7. The Doctor says something about the Moon being, what, 100 million years old? The Moon is actually thought to be billions of years old, yet no one said anything about the age he said it was?!

He says the Moon’s been tagging along with our planet for 100 million years. So it can still be billions of years old, but it only…[Read more]

@Arbutus I agree, I think Clara’s memories of being in the Doctor’s timestream will be very hazy. Maybe he did a wee memory wipe as well after he carried her out.

@TheBrainofMoffat Spiders everywhere – you’re too right! A monster one just scuttled across my kitchen floor!

Only just watched it, and just the once, so lacking in any terribly coherent thoughts.

@TheBrainOfMoffat – Auton or otter – I heard auton, my son definitely went with otter, and his hearing is likely to be better than mine what with being young and all.

@phileasf – The parents’ evening comment – I didn’t register it at the time, but (and without…[Read more]

@TheBrainOfMoffat     That is an interesting idea, and opens up area for further speculation about what regeneration energy actually is.  Is it like a blood transfusion? And what might it do if you get the wrong kind?

@Serahni    Wow, that’s a workload! Hope the performances went well. Yes, it’s true that some fans have a harder time letting…[Read more]

@TheBrainofMoffat

Oh, well done, young sir, in infecting the whole family. It’s actually pretty unusual to find the route of infection going from young to old as it’s so often the parants who introduce the children. Nicely played. 🙂

Has anyone written one giant document trying to make sense of it yet? I’d be extremely interested in reading s…

Welcome @TheBrainOfMoffat and all the other new members who have introduced themselves here. Take a seat, enjoy the ride.

@Arbutus Yes I did think it odd that after advocating Mark of the Rani so eloquently he did not comment on it. I do hope he is well.

Cheers

@theBrainofMoffat —  the toy soldier was taken out of a box that Clara found  to give to Rupert- so that’s the bit where I am confused

— when and how did it get to the box

@thebrainofmoffat you are right, sorry about the mis-quote there  🙁

@TheBrainOfMoffat  (love that!)   @thommck

I don’t think the Doctor was thinking it through. Clara was trying to tell him that she got distracted, he didn’t want to hear it. If he was so uberfocused on his plan as to ignore her statement that she had never been to this place, he certainly wasn’t taking the time to think logically about what he…[Read more]

Welcome along @thebrainofmoffat, your “Evidence 3” reminded me of something. Didn’t Doctor 11 go and look all over Clara’s timeline (or at least her past) to try and figure out why she was so impossible?
Surely Doctor 12 should’ve known that the orphanage was somewhere she had never been? I guess that can be swept under the rug marked memory…[Read more]
