Hi @purofilion – just wanted to agree that that was a wonderful post.

thank you for sharing, and looking forward to hearing more!

hey – thanks @Shazzbot!
apologies for lateness of reply, been away from the forum with a bunch of dull distractions!

Right now I’d like to see films I should have seen but haven’t yet (eg There Will Be Blood or the latest Batman trilogy).

If I just need a laugh, surely Airplane can’t be bettered.

Just don’t call me Shirley.

🙂

Hey @Shazzbot – totally agree!

Aileen (oh, my terrible spelling 😉 but it was her own joke) was great – rather than ‘just’ serve tables well (in itself a great thing), she also spent time and energy with us.

Unfortunately we couldn’t give her any of the fantastic gifts you provided – so ‘fame’ (infamy?) will have to do!

Hi @Tennantmarsters2013 – lovely thought as to the final scene being inside a Tardis.

For me the hexagons on the wall looked like artwork (in the gallery) and with BakerDoc being there, made me think that regenerations of the doctor and the Tardis console room often relied on memories.

As well as something that’ll have been on their mind with…[Read more]

Hey @denValdron – I don’t think anyone’s getting at you personally, I think they’re just (also) offering their perspectives.

I thought the show great on first viewing, then weaker on first remembering and have now re-watched and think it much better than when I first viewed it. As for the Moment choosing when to locate/snatch the Doctors, perhaps…[Read more]

hey @TheKrynoidMan – nice list.

Now, as is the way with “top” lists, you and I probably have about a hundred films in our “top ten”. My brother (genius and all round good guy) had a really interesting alternative to a “top” list of songs – he asked “what three songs would I like to hear right now?”

so – what three movies would you like (the…[Read more]

@denValdron – great to hear you here again!

A fantastic plot-hole question!

and how should we fill a plot-hole question??

With a bonkers theory of course!! Its what we’re here for!

🙂

Now, I haven’t an effing clue. Do you?

Oh ok, (channelling ‘bonkers’) – can there be backward echoes of future events?

The GI does enter the scar, so has…[Read more]

@pedant – thanks (that be catnip)!

somewhat spookily, I am The Illuminator.

which is bit weird as I actually used to illustrate for a living*… (illuminated manuscripts and all that).

*well, I say a living. I was an un(der)employed illustrator for a few years before becoming so thin and hungry that I gave in and figured out how to…[Read more]

Hey @Shazzbot – yep, looking forward to it!

Sorry have been a bit quiet of late – just ‘stuff’ keeping me away from the forum, but am lurking and catching up when I can!

And I now owe a few people posts but can’t find the threads, so (for one) hi @denValdron – glad you made it back! Any bonkers theories??

;¬)

So, HurtDr is “The Doctor” in terms of being the heroic figure our doctor took his name from.

HurtDr did something terrible (not killing all the TLs – that was our Doctor), though possibly linked (eg HrtDr gave the Daleks the weapon, our Doctor locked the TLs in Time so they couldn’t escape it).

HurtDr is hated by rest of Universe and our Doctor…[Read more]

erm, would it make sense to have a Trailer thread (its almost an episode in its own right)?

That way, there’s loads of discussion, pulling it apart piece by piece (pixel by pixel!) but no contamination of other episode/ 50th/ sofa threads.

The Sofa is a place to get community news too, so if people are really averse, they may miss stuff about…[Read more]

oh, and actually I mainly agree with Phaseshift’s last post but especially point 2!

Can’t create a problem that massive for the future! Broken window etc – that’s Matt’s Tardis so a bloody nightmare to move on from over the next year let alone years!

And if the above is true (as if) then we will have either TennantDr or SmithDr march HurtDr into his ‘scar’ to be imprisoned. He will lock the scar (as it allows travel to so many crucial points in time) with his name and the whole thing guarded by The Silence (a morally dubious choice if ever there was one).

And when Clara says “oh so that’s…[Read more]

erm – have we had this (variant of the) bonkers theory?

Can HurtDr be Dr Zero because he is actually Doctor Who where “Who” is simply his surname (shortened from the very long silly Gallifreyan).

He was actually a beloved and brilliant Gallifreyan (I was going to say “Man” as in Human but that would be even madder!). He was heroic, a…[Read more]

yep @Shazzbot – I actually think that’s why most people don’t contribute or drop away for periods.
They probably just think they don’t have anything interesting to add and are happy just to read along. which is fair enough.

That was where my silly ‘lurkers outside the pub’ image came from. I’ll admit when I was writing it I thought that most…[Read more]
