@all the Whos down in Whoville……………  I hope you all have a Christmas just the way you like it and a New Year that brings you all what you need. Have a fantastic day.

We will be having a green Christmas in my part of Canada so that’s too bad , but easier for all the travelling we have to do. So many dinners..so little space in my tummy…[Read more]

@mccottonthedoctorfan  Welcome from a neighbour up in Canada. I hope you enjoy this place. It is nice and friendly. I started watching Doctor Who when it came back in 2005 and was instantly hooked. For that reason the 9th Doctor is my Doctor, but not my favourite one. I can’t pick a favourite and when I try to, I always feel disloyal to the rest o…[Read more]

Just finished rewatching this for Christmas and really enjoyed it. Love the slightly bumbling Elves cheering Santa on. The face huggers are creepy and ugly. The dreams within dreams left me bemused and amused. The Doctor driving Santa’s sleigh was the icing on the cake. Scary, funny and silly, all you need for a Doctor Who Christmas.

Frankly one of the things I like about DW is that very few of my favourite characters die. If I want to watch a show like that than there is Game of Thrones or the Walking dead.(no job security there) I like knowing that Rose is alive and living with her Doctor, River is hanging with her friends in CAL  and that Amy and Rory lived together till a…[Read more]

@whisht        Sorry about that last post. It was for you. I have got to check my spelling!

@whist   I think Clara should call herself   The Carer – She cares so you don’t have to.

and I hope Me goes back to calling herself Ashildr again as she is not “just me ” anymore.

I think of the Clara/Doctor hybrid sort of like  Bonnie and Clyde -seperately maybe not so bad , but put them together and they were very bad indeed. Or Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burtin -fine apart but fireworks when they were together.  We all know those couples that shouldn’t be together , or the pals who do stupid things whenever they are t…[Read more]

@puroandson     Thanks for the kind remarks. you are a ” chip off the old block!’

This episode will always be special to me and not just because it is brilliant. This was the first time I was able to watch DW with my daughter. She lives on the other side of Canada on Vancouver Island ,and has been here for a 2 week visit. While both huge fans , we had to content ourselves to talking on the phone about each new episode.  I have…[Read more]

@puroandson   You won’t hear me dissing Moffat , I think he is a genius.  I enjoy his writing and the direction he has taken the Doctor as show runner.

@notime   Your theory about the doctor pretending to forget , in order to release them both from his duty of care is good . I haven’t decided how much he remembered so I still need a rewatch or t…[Read more]

@missy  I almost envy you. To watch it all again but for the first time would be great. I loved series 9. Lots of two parters and new adventures to go on . Clara and the Doctor’s relationship was explored as well as the concepts of death and immortality. The whole series was very satisfying for me.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did ,it was a f…[Read more]

Hello everyone!  I watched twice before posting so I could absorb more of this fantastic ending to a great series. I don’t know if it answered all my questions but it never does (thank goodness). Capaldi was superb as usual, as was Jenna. I am sorry to see her go but Clara’s exciting ending, flying off in her own Tardis with Me, was fun and s…[Read more]

First welcome to @alexpond ! I hope you like it here. I agree that the Whoniverse is a great place to visit.

@everyone  When I was young and was reading a book that I loved, I would race through the pages until I realized it was coming to the end. Then I would slow down , almost dreading the last page and the end to the  story. I hate end…[Read more]

@jimthefish  Thanks for that interestng interview. I would never find those things on my own.

@fatmaninabox   Very cute little clip that I got some giggles from. Thanks for the link. Hope we get a Peter Jackson episode in the future.

@mersey   Thanks for that interview. Lots of info behind the making of the 50th.

@lisa Thanks for that!  I love Peter Jackson just sitting around the house polishing his Oscars.

I watched this again and it seems that the Doctor is experiencing the classic five stages of death as he fights his way through the castle to the impossible wall. I feel the wall itself represents that black veil of grief that settles on us when a loved one dies. We are not sure we can get through it.

1. Denial – he forgets shes gone and sees…[Read more]

It’s getting late so off to mull over this episode as I try to get to sleep. Be back after a rewatch on Sunday to read the great comments and theories from you all.

@theconsultingdoctor   I am glad I’m not the only one having trouble hearing the Doctor over the music.Playing with the audio helped a bit. I love the writing on this show.There is nothing to compare on TV today.

@puroandson   I can’t imagine anything beating this either, and I will always love the Moff and the wonderful stories he has told.

I also have to say that the music was beautiful and haunting in places. It certainly set the mood. The castle was fantastic and the ocean full of Doctor skulls truly creepy. Epic episode.

Just finished watching and I was amazed again at how good this show can be. I really liked it ,if you can call being scared, angry, and heartbroken in equal measures liking something. This Doctor only episode worked because of the skills of Capaldi, he made me feel everything he felt. I was fairly drained when it was over.

There was a scene in t…[Read more]
