@whisht — well, if you’re going to get picky about it 😉 Did no one  tell you that time was relative?

@Whisht, when you come back, you come back with a bang! 🙂

Hopefully not too obvious. Is great though. Will steer clear of Ruby Tuesday though!

@Whisht

Nice contrast in song choices there

🙂

<Waves to @Whisht>

Thanks for your “troll” post. Absolutely agree. Generally it’s better to engage than to blast out of the water.  We live by the question “What would the Doctor do?”

(Likewise I’ve been doing more lurking than posting recently. Damn that RL!!)

And welcome to cute Shetland troll @Summersmith Some trolls are very welcome! 🙂

There have been some absolutely wonderful ideas, eloquently expressed, about the nature of the Doctor over the past few days!

@Craig   I’m pretty sure that Campbell’s writing has come up before in discussion here. I would agree that I find the mythic hero at the root of all the stories a more convincing connection between the Doctor and Chris…[Read more]

@Jonathan I’m baffled by the idea that Jewish creatives (whether culturally, ethnically, observantly, agnostically, orthodoxically, ultra, or other) coming up with a time-and-space traveling outlaw-cum-busybody/meddler/fixer (or, for that matter, any other fictional protagonist) must somehow be operating on the level of Christian allegory. Why?…[Read more]

@whisht Thank you. [applause] Not on my behalf, but on behalf of all of those who have contributed to make this such a lovely place.

Its a nice place to discuss and chat

I really want it to stay that way. And I really appreciate your post. Thank you, again.

Yeah, @Whisht, @bluesqueakpip, think it got real there o_O

Further attempts to get caught up with all I’ve been missing around here! Random bits of music occur to me during the day. Earlier today I had reason to think about the phrygian mode (that’s the one that always sounds as if it’s ending on mi instead of do). I don’t think it gets nearly enough love- what do you think, @purofilion? So here as a be…[Read more]

@Whisht Ah, well, yes… ahem.. thanks(???) for Charlie Drake! 😉 So… WHY is he hanging out with Daleks and Cybermen and Ood?!  But I will happily forgive you for the Teardrop Explodes. And join with @Purofilion in wishing you a happy birthday (belated from me – hope you’d a great day).

Happy to report Pete Wylie’s still about (Julian C as…[Read more]

@purofilion And Orson Pink. Not sure If I quite get that one. Not a long English speaker. So pardon me if I don’t get any fancy word.

@Whisht Eh…? Again, pardon me If I do came in here looking like a troll.

Somebody gotta guide me real quick and real nice around here. xD

Cheers,

Nick

@The Krynoid Man — oh, thanks!  Love the ANTZ music!  I nice lift to the end of the day (here, anyway).

@whisht — Now, *those* are some eyebrows!

@whisht – just steer clear of the John Denver 😉 !

@Whisht

It’s awful isn’t it? Especially when you realise they’ve spent the best part of a year (I think) road testing it and taking feedback. Never mind, they don’t need us, they get 1m + impressions every month. Tho I suspect that’s just cos people get so confused with it they have to keep reloading 😈

I’m gonna have nightmares now t…

@Purofilion  Did I pick you up correctly that you are going to conduct the Dr Who score (with orchestra and choir)? That redefines awesomeness!!

@Pedant – great link to the Aussie film  remakes, much chuckling

@Whisht – Agree re marketing “segments”. The problem with it is, as you say, that it tends to become self-limiting and encourages p…[Read more]

I’m a big fan of the Alice Zhang stuff. So pleased the BBC has picked up their stuff.

@whisht — there are are still old-school tablets available but their new Cintiq pressure-sensitive screen range is the dog’s danglies — if you have the cash for them. The price is starting to come down though and they’ve just released a new range. They’ve also…[Read more]

@Whisht

the Doctor was actually not the hero but in fact the “mysterious stranger” who is untrustworthy and with other agendas (would I be right in thinking like Prospero?)

I think that’s pretty spot on, especially for early Hartnell. They do play it as if they are possessed in the first part, but they’ve each had a knock on the head, and are conc…[Read more]

Oh my… still recovering from @Craig‘s country mashup!! 🙂

It’s a shame, country music gets such a bad name in some circles (not always unjustified for some of its 70s big hair incarnation) but it’s such a wide genre that there’s probably something you’ll like (that you didn’t even know was “country”!). A  lot of it is cutting edge and has a…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip @Juniperfish

I was called out today, but have just watched that documentary and highly recommend it. A lovely reflection of fan enthusiasm after reading unhinged internet comments, and just fantastic to see the creativity and diverse nature of fandom.

It was interesting to see the spread of the demographics as they moved around.…[Read more]

@purofilion  I think it’s a form of — waking up?!  What???  Blasted face huggers!  Never trust a (face) hug, it’s just a way to eat your brain . . .

I’m not in the UK but in the American Southwest, though I’m often still up at 1 a.m.  It’s the other thing — basically, a health issue at home (not mine but SO’s) has been festering since diag…[Read more]
