anyone seen a recent horror movie called ‘it follows’? one of the best horrors made in the last decade for me. it’s just the opening prologue immediately conjured it up in my mind.

also, why did the crystal wall not reset like the other rooms in the prison…? did i miss an all-important sentence?

capaldi, as most have already said, was totally…[Read more]

@phaseshift – good point. ME could well mean Ashildr. the plot thickens….

so the time lords spend 2 billion years trying to torture information re. the hybrid out of the doctor, he breaks out and apparently confesses almost immediately – ha. i love this show so much. capaldi is the epitomy of the ‘cool doctor’.

one question though; why did the crystal wall not reset like all the other rooms..?

roll on saturday 🙂

@arbutus – ashildr herself may fit this criteria no….?

It might be fun to see some distrust, some uncertainty.

 

just remembered that the phrase cards made a little appearance again. loved that.

@geoffers totally concur with your point about Clara’s departure being exclusive in the fact that she is the only companion so far (AG) to have actually died in the viewers true sense. or so we are being led to believe….

first off – phenomenal episode, as usual.

in a previous thread, possibly ‘sleep no more’, one of the wonderful minds on here, (sorry i forget who it was), made a post re. the arc for this series having a solid thread of prejudice/refugee/acceptance, or lack of, of others despite differences etc. running through it. this episode, in my mind, was…[Read more]

@kharis – is River still ‘psychically linked’ to Clara? (name of the doctor)

re. the sandmen being blind. how do we explain the Rasmussen sandman? he had fully functioning eyesight as far as we know. i suppose if he was the ‘5 year sleeper’, he may have gained the ability of full human reconstruction…? i suppose it ties into that ‘the whole…[Read more]

all this talk of dreams and dream-worlds reminds me of the episode ‘amy’s choice’ in series 5 featuring the dream doctor, brilliantly played by Toby Jones. i loved that episode.

there’s no obvious links to ‘sleep no more’ but i just fancied mentioning it. maybe the dust is a load of psychic pollen floating around….hehe.

i noticed Clara refer to the cables that ‘pulled her in’ to the Morpheus machine as snake-like. did anyone immediately link that to the first 2 episodes? Colony Sarf and his cable mimic…? hmmm

maybe some dalek foreshadowing…?

i liked the episode. Capaldi on top-form as usual. Shearsmith never fails to impress me either.

on the subject of memory-wipes; was anyone else feeling echoes of the series 6 episode ‘the beast below’?

sorry my bad – the episode i was referring to was in series 5, not 6.

@jphamlore great analysis re. the human ignorance toward ET life followed by some great replies. i forget, how is it that the whole RTD era of humanity becoming aware of alien life has been somewhat expunged? was it Smitty’s crack or bang maybe? i realise Amy’s memory was affected due to the crack in her bedroom but was the whole planet…[Read more]

@Missy – thanks so much.

i have a capaldi to go up shortly.

so i drew John Hurt’s doctor.

Clara’s mother’s maiden name is Ravenwood.

Episode 10 of this series is titled; ‘face the raven’

clues…..?

some great theorising on here as usual everyone.

<span class=”useratname”>@spacedmunkee – re. It Follows (great film)
</span>

@nerys – oh right. i was referencing the moment in ‘name of..’ where she jumps into the timestream;

hi guys. great forum, great minds, great show.

pretty new here. nothing to really add in the way of theories that hasn’t been floated already.

however, a little niggle. Isn’t the quote from Clara; “run. run you clever boy and remember ME” ?

hi all. i’m pretty new here so don’t know if was mentioned earlier but the name of the founder of the 3W facility – Prof. SKAROsa – is/was a nice foretelling of the ‘magicians apprentice’ scenario i thought….

<span class=”useratname”>@meisiluosi</span> – thanks very much. glad you like my style. one of the reasons i adopted it is because nothing is ever really finished. i don’t like endings.

great work too btw.
