    The strange bit of that character is that she knew she wasn’t a Zygon (as she had the inhaler) and she shared this info with her counterpart. This has the potential to lead somewhere if we ever go back, or see the after effects, of the negotiation.

    On reflection, I think this was a very clever bit of writing. The two “foot-soldiers” had…[Read more]

    Love the pics of you and your 2 boys, Yeah the cinema people got the Strax warning for mobile pohones, filming and crunching screaming popcon… but not the trailer for the Xmas Special. We just wanted ot hit “replay” when it finished 😉

    I don’t have  a problem with the Dr and Clara having just walked out of his timestram (NotD) – it…[Read more]

  • @thommck

    i love your theory of Clara being the daughter of river and the doctor and it would be plausable.

     

    however there is one thing I am

    absolutely certain on after having rewatched the name of the doctor so many times I’m convinced Clara’s mystery is still unsolved. She isnt finiajed baking yet (kind of like buffy in season 7 with the…[Read more]

  • Thanks for those updates @thommck. My PVR has been working overtime this week with Radio content as well. Talking of which, I think I’ll be listening to Graham Norton at the convention tomorrow, and recording the […]

    Thank buggery it’s Friday! One more sleep, no more work and I’m going to enjoy a Who weekend.

    @Thommck

    I agree with @Juniperfish in that there is nothing to stop the young watching it in terms of content, but they might find it a bit dull. I think you’ll enjoy it though.

    Hi @Thommck

    It’s suitable for kids using the traditional “no sex or violence” criteria but it’s not made for kids. It’s very much Gatis’ love letter to early Who/ behind the scenes at the BBC, and thematically it is quite sad as it focuses on William Hartnell’s declining health.

    @TardisBlue *waves back* My pleasure – simply one quick search away. I hope a lot use the opportunity! Haha, I just remembered Marta’s journey around earth to tell everyone to think of the word ‘Doctor’ when the countdown ends. Will be something like that for me personally.

    I am doing something similar @TardisBlue. I invited the only friend who…[Read more]

    On Zygons, in their original showing they needed biodata to copy a person and have the person hooked up to instruments to have access to their memory, but those had been in hibernation on Earth for a […]

    @thommck– getting two bonkers theories about my avatar really confirms my love of this site.

    And yes, Yorkies are scarier. Many times when we have rescued one, we have progressed from ‘why would anyone abandon this dear, sweat little dog’ to ‘ouch! plasters! ah, that might be why’.  The dog in the picture has never had teeth in the time we’ve…[Read more]

  • I was hopping up and down with excitement when I first saw Paul McGann. If there was anything I wanted from a prequel it was this, the missing regeneration. Like @thommck I had some reservations about the acting […]

  • @Thommck

    So we know now the Special will definitely be about the time war :O *does a little dance*

    I think more likely about the downstream consequences (where “down” may also mean “up” and “sideways”).

    Re Hurt replacing 9 in the Doctors’ timeline – made me chuckle – very meta 😉

  • WhoHar commented on the post, The Trailer – Discuss it here

    @Thommck

    Interesting idea about Hurt Doc effectively replacing Doc9.

    Maybe Moffat’s doing some payback to Ecclestone for his comments about not liking people who run the show. Or possibly because Ecclestone […]

  • @Thommck

    However, that doesn’t explain why 10 doesn’t recognise Hurt in the trailer.

    We don’t see what question 10nant is responding to (Remember “She’s very pretty, isn’t she?” not referring tot he twice-dead […]

  • @thommck

    When you say 10 doesn’t recognise Hurt, I think you may be reading too much into that clip. The clip may not be actually connected to Hurt’s words, but to something else. For all we know, the phrase “I […]

  • WhoHar commented on the post, The Trailer – Discuss it here

    @thommck

    I think Moffat’s a skillful enough writer to be able to introduce any concept, be it new or previously referenced. I tend to agree that he will do something new but with knowing winks to older stuff. […]

  • @thommck – Tennant regenerating into Hurt isn’t a big problem either. One flashback to initial regeneration, then it completes into John Hurt, CGI’d in. Tennant goes ‘but that’s not what happened!’

    Sorted. […]

  • @Thommck – well, my money is still on ‘between eight and nine’, but it would be just like Moffat to suggest ‘Time War’ and then have an entirely different incarnation the one who got included in the Time War. […]
