    @bluesqueakpip –

    ‘Where were you when Kennedy was assassinated?’

    Ian: ‘On my way to the Stone Age!’

    I wonder how many other fans watch the Friday repeat with the subtitles on? Usually there are words missed or uncertain without them (not because the music’s too loud, but because the acting is ‘natural’).

    For instance Carlisle was Carlisle not Carlyle as some might have wondered. Doesn’t diminish the reference though. Also it’s worth taking the subtitles with a pinch of salt (they are official but often incorrect). I noted at least one or 2 mistakes and a couple of deviations from what was heard this week.

    Still can’t get over the emphasis of syllables in ‘kenDALL-mintCAKE’ or the pronounciation of ‘You wanted a word’, in an otherwise brilliant episode. I’m still being grown up & not crying about the death of the Bee in Metabilis…

    @janetteb – King Oswald became a saint after his death. Saints can perform MIRACLES…

    @juniperfish – Oswald JFK conspiracy usually= 2 gunmen. Is there a 2nd ‘Gunman’ in series 7 we don’t know about?

    Do the fields of Trenzalor contain  a grassy knoll?

    I remember being disappointed when Colin Morgan wasn’t ginger in ‘Merlin’.

    @blenkinsopthebrave – could the new novel ‘Shroud of Sorrow’ tie into the 50th Anniversary show? (It’s set in the 23rd of November 1963).

    The Dr will become Merlin only it hasn’t happened yet. It probably will when (or after) the Dr becomes ginger & wears an Afghan coat (see the novelisation of ‘Battlefield’).

    The Dr’s new brown & purple shoes contain a variant of ‘The Seal of Rassilon’ in the brogue ‘hole punching’.

    Not-a-lot-of-people-know-that.

    The seal has been sort of abandoned in the new series up til now, probably because it’s really of Celtic origins. Also (confusingly) it appeared on Voga in ‘Revenge of the Cybermen’ before it’s ‘current meaning’ debuting in ‘The Deadly Assassin’.

    Spoilers####################### The same as above but worded differently (from Digital Spy).

    The showrunner also promised that ‘The Name of the Doctor’ will “change the course of Who forever”.”It’s full of surprises and questions that have never been answered in the history of Who, including the Doctor’s greatest secret,” Moffat claimed.”We’ll also find out what makes his new companion [Clara, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman] so impossible and there’s a surprise that no-one has got right so far.”

    So it’s just ‘The Time War’ now, not ‘The Last Great…’ Probably just means there’ll be another one then…

    Only ‘the only survivor’ could have written that book, surely?

    I don’t think it’s technically a spoiler now but that picture is A-Grade Who-Fan Catnip.

    I forgot to say that in ‘Battlefield’, Excalibur is the starter key to an inter-dimensional spaceship.

    As I said before, Caliburn House. Caliburn is a ‘more authentic’ name for Excalibur. Arthur’s sword has had a long-ish Dr Who history.

    http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Excalibur

    In ‘Battlefield’ the Dr mentions that ‘the scabbard is worth 10 of the sword’.

    In myth the scabbard can stop a person dying.

    Excalibur itself was broken but miraculously fixed. If someone wields it they it they cannot tell a lie. It  cannot be used for an evil act or it will break. It can heal wounds, and it inspires courage in all people that surround the owner. =D

    As the ‘3rd Dr Type Tale’ ,this featured the Doctor (posing?) as a Baker Street Irregular, which points to him working for Britain’s Special Operations Executive . Jon Pertwee had been a ‘Secret Agent’ in real life too.

    @phaseshift

    As well as ‘Nightmare Man’ & ‘Sapphire & Steel’, this ep had a bit of a ‘Children of the Stones’ flavour too.

    Yes, & that’s obviously the new ‘Eye of Harmony Mini’ (Somewhere between a mobile one & the full size one).

    @PhaseShift – Great. I wonder if Lindalee will have found ‘Hide’ too scary, as it was verging on it with ‘Cold War’

    Ha! ‘Jumping into the TARDIS’ is the new ‘finger-clicking the door open’…

    Also the crane lifting the TARDIS next week seems to be a nod to ‘Robots of Death’, as JTTCOTT will be the ‘4th Dr style story’.

    Who Susan really is is as much of a mystery as the identities of The Dr & Clara.

    I think if Clara twists her ankle, the internet will explode!

    Also, as theories abound about Dr becoming dark (Valeyard, etc.) there is also the possibility that Dr was Dark (the Other). Although the 2nd is not canon, Nu-Who often borrows from other media (eg. We’ve seen female Ice-Martians in comics before).

    @phaseshift  I’m an old fan of Ed Alleyne Johnson, so was pleased to see you post him.

    If anyone missed it, my serious choice was Kate Bush ‘The Dreaming’ from German TV, but mainly because of the giant lizards (a la Colony in Space) and the Cybermen costumes.

    The 1st record I bought was the Genesis of the Daleks vinyl LP (still got it). It probably took another 10 years before I started to get into music. God knows what the 1st single I bought was (probably embarrassing though).

    (As a ping-pong return) I think this is still my favourite who remix…

    Are trolls afraid of the no. 13( it’s a magical no.)? A dearth of them on the Nesting Consciousness yesterday, with (nearly) one & all proclaiming it the best episode for yonks. But today the ‘Who lovers who hate’ are back with a vengeance, all but monopolising the site, informing us that it was ‘the worst one ever’, explained with vast tracts of reasoning. You have been warned…

    Professor Grisenko seems to translate as Professor Grayson…

    Also I was wrong – we DO hear & see the sonic weapon fired (about 3& a half mins in) – it doesn’t sound like the future one but the visual effect is similar (not done with mirrorlon though).

    Sing a song to keep your spirits up:
    it works if it’s Pinocchio singing ‘Always Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide’
    Pinocchio was of course someone not really real who wanted to be properly human…..(he can become a real boy if he proves himself brave, truthful, and unselfish’)….. The main song from the Film is ‘When you wish upon a star’……

    Song technology seems important this series…

    I wonder if Skaldak’s 3000BC sonic disruptor (when used) looks & sounds like the ones in the future do?

    Also, will the other Ice Warriors all tease him until he gets up to scratch with an Ice Lord set of armour complete with sparkly cape?

    Never have I felt such empathy for a character who dismembers people…
