@Craig

Thanks for starting this conversation

Why can’t people be allowed a free choice without scare stories and intimidation that keep all the vested interested happy?

Vested interests – you’ve answered it yourself. eg majority of the current cabinet have direct links to private health care providers and pharmaceutical companies – and are m…[Read more]

Courtesy of @Timeloop let’s try that again and, this time, remember to include all of the words in the first sentence. Pah, Late night posting…

But more significantly this is the second time (at least) that Clara has very specifically stated that she does not want to know when she dies (and to a Sontaran 12 years is a good innings).’

So e…[Read more]

Hi @Timeloop (and I’ll include @Herisson)

We already have a couple of mentions of Missy’s title on the forums, and they’ve remained because when Michelle Gomez was cast the BBC made the unusual decision to include it in the press release. So it’s allowed under Forum rules (Official BBC sources don’t count as spoilers).

It’s possibly worth…[Read more]

@ Juniperfish Yes, I believe the Doctor said ‘dad skills’. I like the idea that Time Lords have evolved the ability to just put their children to sleep when need be. Makes life a bit easier (although doesn’t stop them waking up again!) This of course confirms definitely without doubt that the Doctor is Danny Pink’s dad.

@Whisht @Timeloop re: the…[Read more]

@timeloop I know she’s been to the barn before but I think they made the whole psychic link ambiguous on purpose.

If Clara does have children with Danny then his childhood becomes party of her history, or if she is related to the Doctor then Danny could be her descendant! Ooh-er missus!

There was definitely a non-human under the blanket as it…[Read more]

@Timeloop – absolutely!

So glad I see that others can only saywhat I was about to say which was

wow.

I’ll need to rewatch this but wow.

And no idea if jenna is loved or loathed (or both) by people but she was amazing (imho).

but will rewatch and offer something better than wow!

Hi @Timeloop

I think an @all would be a bad idea I’m afraid. Although it would make things easy I think it would leave us all open to abuse. And I think if you post a question, you can be confident the regulars will read it even if you haven’t @’d them. I’ve often posted saying “This is for @ everyone…” and many have responded.

About 1500…[Read more]

@Timeloop    My ramblings about the Clara/Doctor relationship came off of something that @Whisht said in response to you, rather than anything you said yourself. And as I said, it really didn’t have any bearing on your theories, just thoughts that occurred to me. The Missy theories are making my head spin a bit! I am inclined to agree that Mi…[Read more]

@Whisht  You know, I never really believed that Clara was interested in Eleven in “that way” (even after the little “reveal” in TotD). I never got that vibe from her. What I did get was that she treated him a bit like a “guy friend”. My teenage son isn’t especially interested in girls at this point, and last year he hung out a fair bit with a…[Read more]

Hi @Timeloop – I can only imagine that I’ve said something that was either too dumb to be funny or too dumb to be understood – both highly likely knowing me!
Not sure what I said re The Hoff but all I can imagine is that I was trying to be ‘funny’ about the interviews he gave around the 80’s/90’s on TV in Britain saying how bemused he was that he…[Read more]

hey @Timeloop – hmmm… nice hook for some bonkerising!

On first hearing it I was (shamefully) thinking it was simply a kinda mirroring in the script:
ie The Doctor is embarrassed with his former regeneration’s desire to be liked so much he wanted to be Clara’s boyfriend, so is sarcastic towards himself “… your ‘boyfriend’ “. Clara is also…[Read more]

@Timeloop

I am highly, highly speculating here but does it work that those that the doctor physically kills, as opposed to may be dying to protect him end up with Missy. She is in some way his appeaser of his guilt complex?

Coming back to your eureka moment, I think you are right it is too much of a coincidence. But I don’t know that it…[Read more]

@Timeloop Thanks for the response.

1st Point. When Clara leaves the Tardis, they don’t acknowledge each other, which is what I would expect old friends to do. There is no “Good to see you again” or “How are things?”, etc. Even with a regenerating Doctor I would expect, “I see you have been having a few problems, Clara”.

2nd point. I said it was…[Read more]

wow – so much good stuff here recently!!

@Arbutus – ah, James ‘Sit Down’.
Brings to mind a story I can’t tell in detail, but which leaves a rueful grin!
The Hacienda club in Manchester 1990(?). Me and a girl on the dancefloor. Everyone hearing this song and doing the dance which involved sitting down.

except me and said girl.

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]

@Timeloop   No, I don’t think he meant either kindness or cruelty in his interaction with the doomed Ross. Kindness is definitely not to the fore in this Doctor. But I am guessing that, over time, the kindness will prove to be in there, exactly as it did with the First Doctor.

And that is fascinating stuff about Gretchenfrage. I really loved the…[Read more]

With apologies for — as @Whisht brilliantly puts it — ‘bonking out load’, I’d like to develop the theory that Missy is the Moment.

I think The Moment is a kind of ‘TARDIS of mass destruction’. We know it was of Gallifreyan origin (‘the final act of the ancients of Gallifrey’), and, like the TARDIS, it is a kind of object that has gained its own…[Read more]

Some have said the ‘River Song’ story finished, what happened to her in the end? In Silence in the library she said of 10 I’ve never seen you this young, then we got 11 so she couldn’t have meant him…[Read more]

@JimTheFish

I’m slightly bemused by all the comments here and elsewhere about the Doc’s Scottish accent. It’s like Sylvester’s Doc never happened.

Depressing isn’t it? It’s as if we can only accept a Scottish actor if they have a faux estuary English accent. I blame the English. Or perhaps, more accurately, trollism.

@Timeloop

I was harsh,…[Read more]

Okay, the mother-in-law is off to the botanical garden, so I have a little time to read and enjoy all your comments! Here are some back. I have been jotting down thoughts as I read yours, so I may end up repeating things that others have said, but oh well.
