Happy birthday, spyscribe In celebration of our chronicler's birthday, the latest chapter of the Collected Welcome to the Halmae is now available here, bringing the story right up to date. Enjoy!

Thanks for the C-WOD info, Fajitas. Although, for some reason when I saw this: ...I misread it as forcing a "Consternation check" -- which, come to think of it, is probably appropriate when you're being ravaged by a berserker weasel... :)

Another great update, spyscribe. I particularly like the hints of past events dropped by Indefatigable at the end, which we may or may not ever get to hear about in more detail. Reyu said that? Was she feeling particularly snarky that day, or what? It sounded more like something Eva would...

Thanks a lot for this thread, spyscribe. Fascinating stuff! So Fajitas, what's this about? :) I see in the first page of spyscribe's notes that "The crazed weasel of death will operate by committee"... I'm intrigued. Also, spyscribe, I can't quite read the last word in Jeff's quote in the...

Sorry to keep banging on about this, but... no. What I said was that fan discussion about "Torchwood" only started around mid-July (2005), "after the season was already over." Its use as the linking element in Series Two had been worked out long before that. In fact, the first meetings to...

Your memory is mistaken. The first intimation anyone outside the BBC had of the series Torchwood was the announcement on October 17, 2005 -- that's four months after the end of transmission (not production) of Series 1. The impetus for the series did not come from RTD; the Controller of BBC3...

Bad freakin' assumption. The entire structure of this series of Doctor Who, including the involvement of the Torchwood Institute in various episodes, was in place long before the separate Torchwood series was developed. She gained the title Empress of India in 1877, two years before the date of...

I can't help but agree with you -- and I'm still waiting for an Original Cast Recording... :) As you'll see in the next chapter, I ended up doing a number of G&S-inspired songs around that time. I blame KidCthulhu for the encouragement. ;) But I think "I am the Very Model of a Halfling...

Glad you're enjoying the PDFs! And thanks to everyone who's sent appreciation both in this thread and by email over the three years :eek: :eek: that I've been doing this now. Most especially, of course, Sagiro himself... P.S.: The latest chapter of the Story Hour is now complete, bringing...

So well written as always, spyscribe, but... Oh, such an ignominious fate for my favourite character! :( <Arthur Dent>I'm a bit upset about that.</Arthur Dent> For those reading the PDF version, chapter 8 of the Collected Halmae is now in its final form, extending right up to this...

I voted too, sort of. ;) It was a bit of a surprise to see the changed makeup of the new party -- no Reyu or Kiara. That should add a certain tension to the next few updates... I've added your excellent illustration above to the collected Halmae, and brought the last chapter up to date with...

What are your singing voices like? "All'opra -- dagli, martella!" ("To work -- strike, my hammer!") I give you... The Anvil Chorus! :D

No, it isn't a throwaway remark, as is indicated by its deliberate mirroring in the scene at the end where the Doctor manages to reestablish the link to the ship. This sort of duplication is a technique Steven Moffat often uses to highlight significant bits of dialogue -- see, for example, the...

No, the droids were scanning through her life by opening multiple time windows, each one locked to a particular period (apart from the faulty fireplace). From the conversation with the female repair droid: DROID: She is incomplete. DOCTOR: What, so that's the plan, then? Just keep opening up...

Guys, there was no time dilation effect! :mad: If time was flowing at different rates on either side of the fireplace (especially if six years was supposedly passing in seconds), how could the Doctor have had conversations through it, as happened on two different occasions in the episode?! I...

Just giving this Story Hour a bump back from obscurity after the crash... Fortunately, all of the lost updates and comments can be read at the Collected Sagiro's Story Hour site here. (By sheer luck, I had already grabbed the contents of all except the last page in the days before the crash...

Fear not -- I bring good news! :) Being in the middle of preparing the next chapter of the Collected Halmae, I had already grabbed all except the last page (34) of the thread before the crash happened. Thanks to Google, I have retrieved the last page as well, and so I believe I have everything...

Absolutely inspiring writing, Sagiro. Inspiring enough, in fact, to prod me into completing the latest installment of the Collected Story Hour, which takes the story up to just before the Company's arrival in Bakersfield. Happy (belated) birthday! :) So, are there any special celebrations...

Glad to be of service to the Company... :) Can't help you there, I'm afraid. But I look forward to seeing the results... :D

:eek: Ernie? Are you sure you're feeling all right? :uhoh:
