@JimtheFish @Wolfweed (and any others of the Scottish persuasion/location)

It maybe ranks as a pimple on @Craig‘s Snowden scale of intrepid adventuring, but this might be worth exploring for our next DWF (Scottish arm) meetup. It doesn’t involve climbing, and it  includes a pub (and option of other Whovians… ooh! scary!!)

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

Thanks all. @Wolfweed Cheers. Will pack the psychic paper so they don’t think I’m the Master.

@Serahni Excellent, spirited defence of Clara and thank you for the raising the cracker scene. At Christmas we saw Clara at her best. Now she is not so much “a long way from home” but far worse, “a long time from home” and her only chance of ever returning to her own time is The Doctor and she no longer knows what to expect of him. That would be…[Read more]

@wolfweed  And I see your point about Vastra & Jenny. Oh… They’re married, so they’re ‘allowed’ to share oxygen…

They could’ve spent that beat watching Clara fiddle with the sonic, not know what to do and put it in her pocket.  I don’t remember there being a chance for her to have given it back.

@wolfweed    It started with a phone call. It e…[Read more]

@Pufferfish you can see his side-eye, whereas the dormant droids are facing forward, unseeing. So he never *quite* abandons her in the ‘larder’.

You’re right.  And he is also the “droid” who dragged her away.  I bet that was the Doctor who put the dream in her mind of the kids screaming, so she would start the ball rolling.  He believed in her, t…[Read more]

@wolfweed, is Baker looking shocked at Sarah Jane taking his Baked Alaska out of the freezer early? [UK viewers will be able to  tell what I’ve been watching tonight!]

However, that’s just a distraction.  Just idly watching some bits from Deep Breath and it may have been mentioned above – if not I’ll claim what little glory there is.  The adv…[Read more]

Whew so much to catch up on. The “night” shift have been hard at work. (It is after all, a question of perspective.)

I am wavering towards Missy being an entirely new character partly from a writing perspective. I think post 50th Moffat wants to refresh the show and so is unlikely to rest the story arc upon the resurgence of an overworked villian…[Read more]

@Whisht    Missy is the SS Madame de Pompadour.   Score! This is brilliant.

@wolfweed    It started with a phone call. It ended with a phone call…   That is rather lovely.

I read your links regarding “the kiss” with interesting, particularly some of the embedded tweets. This one gave me a good laugh (not that it reflects my view of the episode…[Read more]

Wow, that took a while to catch up on messages since my last post!

First of all, thanks to @pedant for helping me understand why Clara found the Doctor’s new look so hard to take

Clara isn’t a Claricle, she is Clara

Secondly, I half re-watched the episode again while reading through the email alerts from this forum and I made sure I listened r…[Read more]

@wolfweed

Beware of any future character called ‘Stream’

Maybe the Twostreams facility from The Girl Who Waited (which seems to have some kind of link to Missy) = Two Masters?

@wolfweed oh that’s classic and the frightening thing is I actually remember the advert. @FiveFaces lol you know I’d almost forgotten that aspect hehe

@Wolfweed

That’s (another) new keyboard you owe me!

*splutter*

😆

@wolfweed oh lol o lol

@Wolfweed – or the tramp was so terrified of this lunatic by that point, he just gave him the coat.

I admit I did wonder how he had the watch, given that he was wearing that nightgown and the Doctor’s traditional long johns. Surely the watch would have stayed in the waistcoat pocket? But I think I really read it as a ‘no, the fob watch isn’t…[Read more]

@Wolfweed – loved that Everything Everywhere! Vaguely heard the name of the band but not heard their stuff – brilliant!

Ok, here’s a theme for the 12th Doctor.

Well… at least in terms of Deep Breath.

🙂

Okay, the mother-in-law is off to the botanical garden, so I have a little time to read and enjoy all your comments! Here are some back. I have been jotting down thoughts as I read yours, so I may end up repeating things that others have said, but oh well.

@Miapatrick    quibble: if thought eleven though he wouldn’t regenerate. I know the doct…[Read more]

@wolfweed Fantastic spot. BBC cost-trimming by recycling locations, or significant plot point? I have to say, I’d go with the latter. (In the same way that I fondly believe that Moff never lazily re-uses ideas; he’s always just being self-referential.) Add in the white robots from The Girl who Waited, and is this more support for The Mind Robber hy…[Read more]

@Wolfweed – yes, that bit was funny. 🙂 You could tell the argument had been running throughout the making of Series 8, especially when Moffat said ‘Don’t fall asleep, Jenna’.
