e: And you can see his hands during that scene, so he wasn't carrying the chalk absent-mindedly and then dropped it. Something Else was in the TARDIS with him.

He looked at the closed doors for a moment. Nothing can get into the TARDIS, thought the Doctor. Then he realised, Nothing had.

Well, count me among those who thought Orson's name was actually "Awesome", and since it was Moffat, didn't even bat an eye at that.

I met someone recently who's first name was Marvellous, so it's not too huge a stretch.

It could be a neighboring planet; if you're going to lock away an entire planet it's probably a good idea to not be standing on it.

In Day of the Doctor, I reasoned it was a nearby planet because the clear blue skies were suspiciously free of the aerial bombardment by Dalek forces that was supposedly going on at the same time.

Can you all agree to disagree and move on, please? There were some 100 new posts overnight, and it's all the same back and forth bickering. Go and make yourself a new thread to do it in, and you can discuss it forever.

Alternatively, they can stay in this thread when we all move on to the new one this weekend. But yeah, enough of this, neither side is convincing the other. I'm sure when the next episode comes out and you all get new "data" to support your arguments, then you can tell everybody how right you were.

We're not doing weekly threads any more. We're all stuck in here for the rest of the season! <rattles the bars>

Generally I liked this, although the moment of 'the moon is an egg' is a pretty :wtc:

moment. Giving Clara a 'Do you have the right?' moment definitely earned the verbal backlash that she gave the Doctor at the end. Placing (what she thought was) the fate of humanity vs that of the ~~soup~~ space dragon in her hands clearly did a number on her psychologically, and rightfully so. If anything, with a little afterthought, this should give her a little insight into the Doctor's mindset as he has to deal with this kind of decision every day.

I also didn't realise my dad's friend Tony Osoba was in this until I watched the Doctor Who Extra. I shall ask him about this next time I see him. Shame he only lasted about 5 minutes with maybe 2 lines.

I should start listening to my huge Big Finish gift soon, now that I'm almost caught up entirely with Welcome to Night Vale. My commute to work is 30-40 mins each way, so I can easily fit in an episode per journey. In theory I could do 3 in a day.

There is a silver thing in the middle of the fluorescent tubes that does go up and down, it's just really hard to see.

I think for Secret Santa, I'd have to know when the sign up deadline is. I got some lovely gifts last year, but the guy I got presents for was permabanned for scamming in SA Mart before I could confirm if he ever got his presents, so I'd love the opportunity to give somebody more deserving some holiday cheer. Still, I'm going to have to figure out exactly how much money I'm left with after the wedding on the 16th, first.

I usually make the sign-up deadline about the 23rd of November ( :haw:

So, knowing what we know now (ie that the Master/Cybermen need actual bodies) why was the soldier who was vaporised in Into the Dalek greeted in "Heaven"?

And I may be misremembering but didn't she look pissed off that the Earth hadn't been subjected to a huge solar flare? Surely that would have scuppered the plan altogether?

And surely the Cybermen would prefer living bodies to augment/upgrade?

Annnnd Missy can't be 'the woman in the shop' because surely Clara would have recognised her when they met? Maybe the Master has had two female incarnations now?

That was months ago for her personal timeline. If she wore her hair differently and had different clothes she wouldn't remember her. I probably wouldn't remember her even if she were wearing a huge "I AM THE MASTER" sign around her neck.

Possibly. I might just watch Law & Order too much and expect everyone to have the memory of a barman. "Oh yeah, that guy? He was in here on a Tuesday night 7 months ago with his girlfriend. He had a different haircut at the time, and a scar on his right hand. He ordered a campari and soda which I thought was weird."
