good to hear that @purofilion

And though its a bit soon to be quite happy enough to cakewalk into Brisbane city centre, this also has some tuba (and you can never have too much tuba)

@Purofilion – I’m really, really sorry to hear about your dad.
And general crappiness that Life seems to be dishing out.

I think I’ve shared this track before but it jumped into my mind when I thought of “something that will make walking through crowds of shoppers and general shit easier”.

I always think its uplifting, beautifully played and…[Read more]

So – massive apologies for neglecting this thread (and the forum).
Will blame work but ‘reasons’ and ‘excuses’ are different things, and work is an excuse. My new job is in retail and so xmas is a “big effing deal” (ie upwards of 50% of profit for the year) but still.
No matter how busy, I should always make time for friends.

@Phaseshift an Boy…[Read more]

Ok – I don’t think I saw any of this when it was first broadcast (or since). ‘ve heard of it, but nothing I’ve seen is ringing any (cloister) bells.

So – excellent! I’m seeing it fresh!

I like the pace but wish the incidental music was toned down – is trying way too hard and (because of its nature) is far too abrasive.

Love the underwater shots…[Read more]

@Arbutus – what Cath Annabel said!!

🙂

this thread is fantastic!
I just find it really interesting hearing other people’s stories in terms of Who, as its been such an influential show both at a cultural level (new words like “Dalek” and “Tardis”) as well as on a more personal level.

Thanks for sharing @Belshazzar , @fuzeelogic , @GTBI @whofangirl-73 and @dont-blink-2 (and everyone else!)

Hi @BFINCH – just wanted to say that I have some sympathies with what you’re saying.
That basically Clara and 11 had a flirtatious relationship (at times) but that 12 put an end to that (indeed he realised that it was time to stop that).
So – Clara will feel put out. She may even feel ‘betrayed’ to some extent (in a ‘where is my best mate that I…[Read more]

@DanMartinUK – just to add my thoughts to many here; I’m for one really grateful that you run a fun blog on the Guardian that is unfortunately populated by commenters who probably don’t read what you’ve written.

And by that I mean the posters who don’t reference your post, but simply want to run into a bar and yell their ‘thoughts’ as loudly as…[Read more]

I know I’m late, but also just wanted to say I’m glad your brother’s getting better @Phaseshift

ok – Bonkers theory!

Danny has been taken back to the Nethersphere, but it is collapsing and when it does he will truly ‘die’.
Clara manages to find the solution of pushing him into another dimension in order to survive.

This other dimension will be Flatland.

Clara will decide to leave the Doctor and her family and join her beloved in…[Read more]

@Apopheniac – yes, but that’s because I shave my head.

Otherwise – sparks!

zzzzztttc-htst!zzzzzttttttt!tttzzztzttch!!chchttzttzsttattzttttz!!

😉

@Bluesqueakpip – ha! Hiding behind that “they just need to give the role to the best person in the audition” rubbish.

We all know the truth – and that is that the Doctor will NEVER be ginger.

Fandom will never accept it.
I mean – imagine Amy with a ginger Doctor – you can’t. And that’s because it would be unnatural and wrong.
How could we have…[Read more]

There was a conversation (by others) before this episode about the Tarot.

Seems clear that the Doctor is the Fool (or “idiot” in a box).
Which was always the likeliest option I think!

😉

A few new posters here and just wanted to say “Hi”.
I shouldn’t pick people out (as I enjoyed all the posts!) but that’s a great first post @Belshazzar !
If any of the new people want to pop over to the Memories thread to introduce themselves, then its always welcome!

In terms of Death in Heaven – I enjoyed it but I wonder if the slight…[Read more]

WOW

What I really love is the way Moffat plays with the audience (“ooh, you thought Missy was an avatar… or Rani or.. oh and you thought Clara was the Doctor…?)

BRILLIANT!

😀

“ha ha ha!” are the exact words @ScaryB I squawked when I saw your reply to @theKrynoidMan ! Excellent!

Always liked Blondie though only listen randomly nowadays.

Only a few hours before the episode, and I may have to watch it tomorrow morning!

so… some songs that I found on my hard drive based on Death.
Annoyingly by bands we’ve had plenty…[Read more]

@burrunjor – if I get you right, you’re saying that there can’t be a female Doctor, because if they continued with the current dynamic of the Companion being the moral compass (“one who cares”), then that would be a male role and the audience would think its sexist.

I have some sympathy with this, except that the role of the Companion is not set…[Read more]

ok – medication kicking in….

Bonkers theory – Dr Skarosa won’t be an evil Cyberman!

No real reason to think that other than ‘wouldn’t it be neat if s/he’s been imprisoned in his cybersuit and tank, imploring Clara to release him’ (or breaking out but not attacking though we think it might).

nah – she’s in peril!! 👿

But Seb’s gold pin……[Read more]

aw @Spider (and before @Purofilion ) thanks – actually I instantly regretted that post as I ended it sounding all po-faced. I meant it, but still, thought I came across as holier-than-thou.
But thanks, you’re kind

@Bluesqueakpip – yeah, I know, I kinda squee a bit with the gang’s all here moments.
Thinking about the Mummy, the obvious is to think…[Read more]
