    @wolfweed – just also wanted to say its good to have your eagle eyes back!

    ;¬)

    btw, not sure if anyone else has mentioned, but Bill is very much a Companion for this forum.
    Her theories as to what is happening are indeed more insane than what is actually happening.

    And I like to think that Moffat is speaking directly through certain lines when…[Read more]

    Cheers @wolfweed love Connolly (and Tennant of course). Been a bit busy over the weekend but can I also add my voice to those welcoming you back. Hope the internet issues are all sorted now. Your contributions are always great.

    You are 100% right. I haven’t noticed it on my cell phone. I thought the picture is visible only in the first shot and the circles are just darken. But I watched it on my computer and it’s so obvious. The circles definitely have a texture.

    @wolfweed a new Doctress.

  • janetteB replied to the topic On The Sofa (8)

    @wolfweed Indeed it is good to have you back. You have been missed.

    Also a welcome back to all our friends who have been absent. It is like a gathering of the clan at the moment.

    Cheers

    @wolfweed  Thanks for the link.

  • ichabod replied to the topic The Pilot

    @wolfweed  Couldn’t help it — I had to laugh!  The title alone did it.

    @wolfweed Dr Poo was disgustingly funny! Particularly the response of the Daleks.

    I’m thinking that the tech used can derive energy from biologicals (i.e. food). David Weber has a similar problem for his human personality imprinted android in the Safehold series – it can use food to scavenge needed materials, so it poops out the stuff it doesn’t need.

    Is this the first time it’s been definitely confirmed on the…[Read more]

    @nerys  @redlemons  I never cared much to re-watching DW — until the Moffat/Capaldi team took over.  That was the point at which I began suggesting to the people who were uncomfortable with or unable to connect with or understand S8-9 that they wait a bit, and then watch again.  That stuff was layered as fine cake (dark; probably bittersweet cho…[Read more]

    I think Moffat wanted people to spot them. The painting hangs in the background and thin circles as they are in the oryginal could be missed.

    @kharis the bust I’ve mentioned has a mane of hair and chubby cheeks. I think it’s Beethoven.

     

  • Kharis replied to the topic The Pilot

    @wolfweed @mersey @thane15 Found some articles that highlight the similarities between Shakespeare and Rembrandt. A really great quote form one, “Élie Faure, the French art critic and historian, wrote this of Rembrandt and his work: ‘His humanity is truly formidable, it is fatal like lament, love; change continues, indifferent and dramatic,…[Read more]

    @mersey and @wolfweed

    Now I am looking up all kinds of things about Rembrandt.  Very interesting guy.

    The bust is Shakespeare.

  • blenkinsopthebrave replied to the topic The Pilot

    Yep, it was pretty great! I especially liked the the slow moving start, that built up tension, and the fact that it was told from Bill’s perspective. That reminded me of An Unearthly Child.

    And, as everybody says, what, indeed, is in the vault?

    And does the self-portrait of Rembrandt, which as @wolfweed (great to see you again!) points out, is…[Read more]

    @wolfweed Thank you!  What a fun Easter egg for Easter.  (:

    @wolfweed What do the windows mean?  Can you fill us in? (:

    You’re back! And it’s about time! 😉

    @thane15

    Yes, will see you at the pub, glad your mom has found some new meds, excellent news.

    The music was intense, and extremely well-done as usual.  Murray Gold always inspires me to choreograph.  (:

    Yes, @wolfweed ‘s observations were very keen.  Didn’t Shakespeare say that there were only seven stories in the world?  Not surprised this epi…[Read more]

    @mudlark: Oh I remember the Ration books well.  the first thing I did when everything came off, was to go and buy a packet of Wriggles chewing gum. It tasted so good.

    @wolfweed: Hello there. Could one say of your 24 years absence “What a night?’
