Aaaaaaaah god there was SO MUCH IN HERE OMG. (lol, as you could probably tell from my ramblings on my blog earlier in the week, my brain is overwhelmed by it all) This is fabulous - miniscopes! Of course! I would never have realised that, but you're absolutely right. And they got a shout out in Robot of Sherwood just last season, so Moffat has clearly been thinking of them

lol, as you could probably tell from my ramblings on my blog earlier in the week, my brain is overwhelmed by it all Yet to read that... BUSY week. Hence only posting this so very late.
This is fabulous - miniscopes! Of course! I would never have realised that, but you're absolutely right. And they got a shout out in Robot of Sherwood just last season, so Moffat has clearly been thinking of them. It made me very happy. And I've not really seen anyone else draw that conclusion.
The Truth or Consequences thing was wonderful. :)
nd that's not the only recurring theme - the whole idea of repeating a scenario over and over again to completion, then forgetting about it was in the Zygon Inversion too. And kind of in Ashildr/Me's storyline - you get the impression that she could have the exact same conversation with the Doctor over and over again, hundreds of years apart, and not remember. Oh, VERY NICE. Also, for anyone who thinks the Doctor is a jerk for messing with other people's

It took me two days to make this connection… But oh, isn't it perfect?
!!!!!!!!!! A;KSJ;DJSKJDS;JDS OH. MY. DOG. (This is why you are the superior Who stan.)
It's like Abraham being willing to sacrifice Isaac - that Isaac ultimately survives is beside the point, it's Abraham's devotion/willingness to kill him that matters.
This. Hence why the naysayers' virulent objections to Day of the Doctor on the grounds that it "whitewashed" the Doctor / made him "less heroic" (take your pick) are so baffling to me. The decision was real for him. He can't run from who he knows he is.
'I love how some things never change. The Time Lords haven’t even been officially shown yet, and they’re already back to being assholes.'
Uh huh.
I can't even speak words about the Clara-nes of it all. I am not a person.
They stuck him on Earth during his third regeneration. They probably though "Since you like Earth so much, we will put you there on a more permanent basis because we can". I think Romana is the only one I know of by name that was actually decent. Susan?.
