In news that nobody noticed, yesterday Bill Kerr (the non-Troughton antagonist from the until recently lost The Enemy Of The World serial) passed away yesterday at 92 (he was the oldest surviving Doctor Who actor). He literally died laughing watching Seinfeld.

Actually, and I literally just looked this up last night since I was watching Inferno so that's the only reason I know this, but Olaf Pooley is still kicking at 100!

The episode didn't have the part from the script where Rusty self-destructs and blows up the Dalek ship. It made the ending kind of vague. Maybe they decided to bring Rusty back later. Anyway, I liked the actual episode better than the script, but the Doctor was still too much of a jerk. That seemed to be toned down in the later scripts, though.

kant posted:Are we 100% sure about this? It's like a sunny nice day outside where the shed is and that doesn't seem right compared to the scenes on Gallifrey. You'd think he'd use the device from outside the area it would effect. Plus there's the whole other level of being time lock'd that has nothing to do with the time war. Isn't it supposed to be impossible for a time lord to go back in time on Gallifrey? They're always part of the same timeline. I always assumed that it wasn't on Gallifrey, but it's quite possible for it to have been there. When talking to the moment the War Doctor does say he doesn't expect to survive.

The only one where it matters what number he is is Ten because the actor's stage name has "Ten" in it.

Not sure which thread this belongs in, but I really hope when Coleman leaves they don't shove Clara into some alternate universe or whatever crap. She actually has a life and a family. Not to mention it feels like such a cop out.

They mention that he's not like the other boys, which is an odd choice of words for parents to use. I think that he's just run away from an orphanage, which would make for an interesting parallel with the rest of the story.

This interesting Missy theory came up in a discussion (involving some former Doctor Who writers) on Facebook. quote:Adrian Middleton: My money is on Miss Evangelista from Silence in the Library. She retained her IQ and after years of stories from River Song obsessed on the Doctor. The Doctor has clearly rigged his sonic to download souls into the library (via the "death-easing" pills introduced in ITD) expecting River to help them ease into their new afterlife. Of course the genius level Missy helped River escape the Library and has taken her place.

I still think the best theory I've seen so far about Missy is her being an amalgamation of all the dead Clara's throughout history. Still programmed to save the Doctor, but twisted and "giving him hell", as Vastra told her. Someone else expanded on that and wondered if control-freak Clara would die in the end to take control of Missy and stop her. It's goofy as hell, but I could see Moffat going there.

MrL_JaKiri posted:Never explicitly stated to be his mother so easy to change or ignore You know, I never really thought about it before- but what if that was the Doctor's wife? Like his actual, original wife. Unless he adopted Susan's father/mother, whichever was his, and there's some mutterings that he absolutely didn't, he has a wife unaccounted for, and she'd be about the right age to go with Hartnell Doc. Maybe they split up or some such. Basically I'm willing to accept anything except the idea that it was his mom because that's lame.

I'm all in for the Rani. Anything would be better than it being River or some random again. It would also be a great nod to Kate O'Mara since she wanted the Rani back. My 14 year old son, who likes old Who too says "who is that barking woman? Is she evil? Evil people bark. Oh God is it that Scientist lady from when Radagast was the Doctor?" So I'm guessing he's hoping she's actually the Rani. Or a dog. Probably a dog.

I know she's American, but Kate Mulgrew would make an excellent Rani if they wanted to bring the character back to its supposed thematic origins. Missy will not be the Rani because there's exactly one good idea buried in The Rani and it's not there in any of Missy's appearances. It's probably going to be a new character. Maybe it'll be Death, who is so in love with the Doctor because of all the people who die around him and there'll be more hand-wringing.

I don't buy it, but I do think "Heaven" is probably digital, and both Half-Face and Gretchen were scanned by Missy and uploaded a half-second before their deaths. So this system works like the Library's system, and may indeed be related. Still hanging on to the idea that Missy's an Evil Clara.
