A “real” Santa would be hard to swallow. Not Missy twisted, but twisted nevertheless. I am thinking that the mantra “who has been good and who has been bad” might be interestingly interpreted by our Santa (who surely will be an alien). Recall the Doctor deciding he wasn’t a good man. That would…[Read more]

Elsewhere a poster referred to the long wait till series 9 begins. So, I ask, what is meant by the notion ” series 9″ and when will it start?

So, when she demands a proof that he is truly her Danny Pink, he must refuse her d…[Read more]

“Ok, that was pretty dumb:  Clara does lie and that’s bad. Really bad. I’m equally frustrated when she seems to lie -almost without reason. I think Dan is aware of it – and he’s annoyed and angry. That’s fair.”

I seem to recall Danny remarking in this episode that she had said for some 4 or 5 months that she had not be been in…[Read more]

Now we know why Clara has been lying to Danny so much. He seems to have insisted that she stop going around with the Doctor solving the problems of the universe. We learn that he believed that she had not…[Read more]

One thing  that has me worried it’s what plans Missy has in store for Clara. Her smile at the end of this episode was quite chilling. But one thing I am sure of is that should Missy capture Clara and begin messing with her she will tell Danny that things…[Read more]

Joining up at 18 and then spending 8 years in the military to get his stripes puts him at 26. Adding 4 more years of university study to qualify him as a maths teacher puts…[Read more]

In the preview of next week’s episode I caught a glimpse (out of the corner of me eye :-)) of someone I took to be her. Recall that she went out of sight to have her spillage incident. Perhaps the Doctor takes off without checking to see where she is. He seems to be fond of her…[Read more]

@Handles, @Barnable.  You write  The plot was also good. I thought it was a little strange that the main point was hoarding gold, but the sheriff was giving away a golden arrow for winning the archery contest? Although the arrow did provide a good ending for the story, IF ONLY the arrow had gone into the ship. :angry:

The point of the arrow sh…

So, I really didn’t like this episode, at least the Sherwood Forest bits where there was all that “bantering” going on that the Doctor rightly objected to. H…[Read more]

This, off course, is insufficient since Clara has been aggressively courting Danny Pink, himself an ex-military guy. My guess is…[Read more]

I started, of course, with the most recent activity but am pleased that early doctors are not ignored.  I am a little intimidated by experienced Whovians who know so much more than I about the Doctor.
