@wolfweed please tell me that Dalek was being built as some kind of wicker man effigy to be burned ceremoniously by some strange whovians cult . 😉 ;p

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

Ok.  Just did MY second watching and am ready to fire! 🙂

Missy reappearing definitely creeped me out! More on her later. (But don’t expect me to be very serious.)

Question: When did they get cleaned up after the protein bath?!  The climbed in the “bolt” hole, and one commercial break later they were nice and dry.
Danny Pink: is there some sin…[Read more]

@wolfweed I got that exact same feeling as @pedant, that the Doctor will forget to honour his promise, which will in turn earn him the ire of Gretchin.

Also, @wolfweed, you made me remember, Journey’s uncle seemed to be her commanding officer, and her brother was also with her in combat. I wonder why they included that family link. The uncle bit…[Read more]

@wolfweed

I wonder what exactly the Doctor will do in her name?

I suspect it will be his failure to do something that will come to bite him in the arse.

@wolfweed

That is an absolutely incredible video!!! I wish that I could’ve gone to FanExpo.

@Craig

*sigh*

I told you not to break anything!

What state did you leave the mountain in…? No doubt there’s big chunks out of that as well!

(Welcome back btw 🙂 (And glad to see it’s not your mouse finger))

@Wolfweed – re twisting your ankle – you may not have been a companion yet, but you have all the necessary qualifications. Keep…[Read more]

Hi @Wolfweed @Bluesqueakpip @Arbutus @Barnable @tennantlove9090 @VashtaNerada @PhaseShift @FatManInABox @Rob @JanetteB @Whisht @ScaryB

Well, we did it and survived, mostly. That climb that takes up the first minute of the video is probably the most difficult, and at times scary. My friend almost bottled out 50 metres up the cliff face because she…[Read more]

@Cathannabel

Nice shout out on the “don’t breathe/don’t not breathe”

And @Wolfweed and @Chickenelly‘s “eyes” motif

Lots to watch out for, including the resurrection of @Juniperfish‘s red/blue strands (thanks @Phaseshift)… or maybe it’s Reservoir Doctors! (And seconding that wish that we see the finny one back here, fit and heartily bonkering,…[Read more]

@mystery

I think @wolfweed has covered it with his answer. Fanzines used to thrive on contributions from fan cartoonists who were covered in the parody class. This went up to people like Tim Quinn and Dicky Howlett, who (as I’m sure @wolfweed would agree) were the Masters of the form for Doctor Who Monthly. There is a collection of their work on…[Read more]

@Wolfweed Very cute.

A case of headscarf envy perhaps?

@wolfweed I don’t understand why this can’t just be treated the same as any other kiss on TV… It’s ridiculous that one kiss between two people who are obviously in love, and have been portaryed as so on the show for 3(?) years now, can’t express their affection in any way without having all this commotion about it… :s

On the good side, the…[Read more]

@Wolfweed – 5.2 million against Simon Cowell with a 24% live audience share is fine. Better than fine, in fact.

If you want some comparison, there’s a ratings accumulator showing initial-overnight versus final for Series 7 at Doctor Who TV. As they say, the figures don’t include iPlayer. They also don’t include the overseas showings of Doctor…[Read more]

@Wolfweed 25% audience share is still impressive, and there will be a big jump-up when the timeshifted figs are added.

“Leader of the pudding brains” haha (tho that is a VERY scary photo to expose people to on a Sunday morning!)

ah, @wolfweed – “Gretchen Alison Carlisle sacrificed herself. Did Humpty sacrifice himself?”

someone around here theorized that missy could be some cosmic toymaker, i believe? if so, is she collecting all the “playthings” the doctor is “discarding” along the way, for some future devilry? or is she setting up the board for a cosmic game of chess,…[Read more]

Hmmm @wolfweed…. Humpty last week collected some eyes, and the Doctor seemed to be having trouble with his eyes (ie not being able to see properly) – a theme continuing on this week if you take into account his comments to Clara?

A theme like the eggs and lights from last series perchance?

Random thoughts –

Why couldn’t/didn’t the TARDIS save Journey’s brother?

Missed ref in mightbesherlock’s list above – The pilot that McGann’s Dr tries to pluck from the jaws of death in Night of the Doctor

@Wolfweed Thanks for the link (and no prob re overlapping posts – different timestreams & all that!)

Is Courtney a soul-sister of Melody…[Read more]

@wolfweed

Did Humpty sacrifice himself?

It’s looking like it, I think. I don’t believe the Doctor pushed him, he’s not changed that much. But like Gretchen, Humpty may have been persuaded to follow his own inclination. Both sacrifices save others.

@Miapatrick I agree re a CAL/papal mainframe/matrix type thingy. But how do  they get there? HFM…[Read more]

@wolfweed

Oh, you’re good. (Tips imaginary hat.) Great tracks, too!

@Bluesqueakpip You’ve redecorated.

I like it!

Also liking @Wolfweed‘s Melissa of Crete link.  Now that’s creepy – especially given the rather salacious way she keeps talking about her “boyfriend”

And how did HFM/Humpty get to “Paradise”? If it’s a matrix type simulation (and we’re mostly agreed it doesn’t look real) that suggests consciousness…[Read more]
