Jellybabies would have been the original 'fezzes are cool'.

I like this explanation.

Not anymore apparently? I mean I guess Clara wiping out the collective memory of him stands?

Well I'll have the chicken then.

Hmm, I don't know if I follow your logic here. You seem to be saying because Amy's arc is about Rory and her life together, that's un-feminist? That must come to quite the shock to all the strong women I know who are married and that is a cornerstone of their life? To be honest Amy not making googly eyes at The Doctor…

Good point there. That's a fairly large question. I guess it comes down to whether the show is saying the Time Lords remember it that way or not, or do they have the same memory of it that three Doctors do?
I would have to say as it's such a change from their planet burning, that they remember the new, so I guess the…

"I've been to many planets in the solar system, and you'd be surprised how many of them look like quarries in Wales."

I bloody hope they comment on this somehow. That would be super.

Voodoo Child by Rogue Traders is the key to time and space.

I always looked at it as the first two episodes summed up for new audiences just where the show could go.
The down on Earth alien invasion peril and then taking us to fantastical places here.
So really audiences knew by the third episode just what the show was about and could do.

The 8 1/2 Doctor, also known as The Fellini Doctor.

Oh I completely understand that, and I can absolutely see why viewers only familiar with the old series would be different to us old series watchers.
I think the best way to approach this if it's bothering you is that nothing's really changed, except the degree of what he did to end the war. Despite what the triumphant…

I just can't see the Rassillon Dalton played ever conceding to the Doctors plan like that either.
He seemed a spiteful, angry egomaniac and would have told the Doctor to sod off if it came down to him being nearly erased from time.

My thinking is that Capaldi's run as Doctor culminates with him finally discovering and restoring Gallifrey, and as thanks he gets a new cycle of lives.

Still going to a blank page just about every time for me me too. Grrr!

I didn't think it was too hard to follow. My hubby the only a casual fan said it worked because the plot was still clear enough as long as you had some general knowledge of the show.

He's more worried about whether that will be the point where he becomes a power drunk arbiter of the universe (see also 'Timelord Victorious) and secondly whether he should ever stoop to someone like Davros' level.

I blame it on the character ticks Smith's been given. I mean if you put the Doctor in a fez, it's asking to be a meme.

Pluck and being one of the few who isn't wowed and swept off her feet by the idea of going with him.

It's not the size of the screwdriver, it's what setting you have it on.
