A lot of people saying the Monks look like the Pyroviles. Methinks they look more like Starving Weeping Angels…
What if they’re quantum unlocked Angels? Maybe they are the mid-stage between Angels & Time Lords?
So Bill’s stats – looks like she’s 26 years old, 167.6lbs… I can’t read the rest….. (maybe the 6s are 5s? -anyone got a microscope?)
Hmmm… That’s 11 or 12 stone… doesn’t seem right…Got to wonder why the Doctor bothered giving Nardole human lungs at all (never mind cheap knock offs). If he’s mostly human, which bits are robotic?
Doctor Who is set in a different universe to ours. TPATEOTW has an orange president – probably Trump. Perhaps an Oompa Loompa or the Tango man… Presumably the Monks have tried several simulations including ones with Hillary Clinton as POTUS…
Must assume that Bill has gone on many more adventures than we’ve seen (see comics & novels)…..
4th Wall:
It looks like the Doctor might save the World by becoming a TV Show…
Predict all possible futures with this delightful decorative curtain…..
Is it just me or does she look like Theresa May?
Dark Crystal prequel TV series (‘Age of Resistance’) announced. Filming begins this year. Will air on Netflix.
@phaseshift Bowie found! Plus 5.15 (pm) is the transmission time of the 1st ever episode of Who in 1963…
I can’t work out if what’s in the vault is Eric Roberts or a GooSnake…
‘It’s not something that’s ever likely to happen but what with regeneration ever present in our minds this series what would it be like if the Doctor’s regeneration was actually triggered by something other than self-sacrifice this time (say, suicide)?’
Reminds me of the other Frobisher (John)…
‘Who frowned me this face?’
(Grasping at straws) Penelope was the wife of Odysseus…
There must be Bowie somewhere…..
I wonder if the Papal role was before or after Brad Pitt in her timestream?
I didn’t know Sophie Winkleman or what she looked like. Here’s a pic:
We learnt that the Doctor’s killed shedloads of beings but he won’t kill his friend… (& still I wonder if he nearly did?)
I forgot to say that the episode neatly reflects the view held by many Christians (& I suppose others): That this world is not real – It is merely a test to decide where you will go next…
‘Virtue is only virtue in extremis!’
This episode conjures up some strange images of what’s been going on off-screen.
Firstly, there is the picture of Daleks gossiping with Missy about the Doctor & his love life.
‘Domestic bliss on Darillium… That’s the word among the Daleks.’
The other weird vision that enters my mind is the Doctor enacting his program of reform of Missy back at the vault. I can imagine they got stuck on lesson 1: Empathy…
Carnathon is the execution planet. Not sure if this is riffing off Carnathan (surname meaning victorious) and/or Caernarfon (a place in Wales) or neither…
I wonder if the Doctor will take up the offer of confession? If he cares about his own ‘salvation’? (Regrets – He’s had a few…)
‘Hope is the search engine of the future’ (see chapter 7: Hope does not disappoint) hope witness reward
Plenty of examples of discovering you’re not real (trope) in sci-fi. No other show on tv mixes up such diverse ingredients as Who though… (Super Mario?!?)
Missy in the vault no surprise=no fun? It was fun to (bonkers) speculate this time rather than just say it’s obvious (like I did when we wondered: who is Missy?)…
I still like to imagine that Moira (destiny/fate) is Chameleon-Arched Missy, learning virtue (but not very successfully). Not sure about the actual likelihood of this though…
Good call on the Skeletoids. I imagine Alan McKenzie is already preparing his lawsuit…
Also love:
I wonder if Theresa May still claims to be a fan?
(From Wikia)
In DWM 481, following Danny’s death in Death in Heaven, Steven Moffat stated that one possible explanation is that Orson was a lineal descendant of Danny’s.
Dr Who has a lot of orphans. I wonder which has more; Dickens or Who?
Danny Pink was an orphan. Bill is an orphan. It’s certainly implied that the Doctor is an orphan (also from a ‘young age’).
Tonnes of orphans in Thin Ice.
I don’t think anybody’s been suspicious about Bill’s foster mum, Moira, yet…
Moira means destiny/fate, btw…..
And if the next Doctor cast is a man, please don’t make it Richard Ayoade. I love him in Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace but…..
…You might as well cast Michael (flamin’) McIntyre…..
michelle gomez drops hints to how missy will return
‘You’re only supposed to blow the bloody Daleks up!’
If the next Doctor to be cast is a woman; can it please be someone like Miranda Raison or Rachael Stirling; as opposed to Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sue Perkins or Miranda Hart? (Pleeeeeez!)
