    Turkeycaust 2013!

    My family is very traditional, or at least we keep to our own traditions. This years on Thanksgiving, as always we got together and ate a turkey. I hope next year the traditions changes. And that we can finally kill, clean and cook it first.

    Day of the Doctor

    Bringing the sonic screwdriver into the Tardis is probably like connecting a smartphone or tablet into a computer; all the apps update, files are copied back and forth and so forth and so on. One screwdriver is destroyed, the next one has software installed from the last time the screwdriver...

    Dracula on NBC

    What part of my post qualifies as spoilers that need to be hidden? That much about the shows is revealed by every single trailer, teaser and promotional image.

    Day of the Doctor

    I wonder how many people will go to the National Gallery and ask to see the painting. I also wonder how staff at the gallery will respond to these questions.

    I suspect the actress will have to be British, not American or even Canadian.

    Dracula on NBC

    How many of you are watching Dracula on NBC? It is... interesting. Lots of pretty people in wonderful costumes doing wicked things while an apex predator circles among them. If it not as good as Hannibal it can tide one over until the other series about a well-dressed guy who eats people...

    Day of the Doctor

    Some current articles suggest Smith's Doctor is the last as the other regenerations have been used, but Moffatt and company have deliberately deceived the fan base before to keep show surprises hidden. Gallifrey will probably return at the end of Moffett and Capaldi's run and the issue of...

    Romanadvoratrelundar

    Right, then everyone. Assuming the Doctor does bring back Gallifrey, and Romana, who would you want to see portray Romana? Think of it as an internet game.

    Day of the Doctor

    Actually I would argue the battlefield, not the battle, is "dinosaur times at one side and the sun goes supernova at the other end", with the participants moving about constantly - almost erratically - trying to get into a better position and thinking in such five dimensional tactics and...

    Day of the Doctor

    I like the tone of the show when the Doctor is the only Time Lord, because as pointed out the other Time Lords can muck up things a bit and yes this was in the original run of the show. However I doubt the return will happen until the end of the Capaldi and Moffett run.

    Day of the Doctor

    We will probably get a bit more of the Time War when Gallifrey is returned to the series. Which is unfortunate - the series worked better when Gallifrey was destroyed.

    Day of the Doctor

    Dalak's seem to be a group with poor grasp of strategy and tactics, aside from smash everything insight and their individual lethal powers usually lets them get away with that approach. Some dalaks (the Emperor dalek, Davros, the Dalak prime minister, the Cult of Skaro) are exceptions, but en...

    Day of the Doctor

    This is quite true - i was disappointed to learn "the Moment" was simply a puzzle box, rather than an actual moment in time the Doctor had stuffed into his pocket. But these things need to be made simple enough for the audience to follow easily and so often become props or something similar.

    Day of the Doctor

    Oh well, then I guess Gallifrey is embodies in Capaldi's Angry Eyes. Also, it occurs to me the fate of the Moment is not revealed. I expect it is in a closet in the Tardis somewhere.

    Day of the Doctor

    It is purely supposition. 1. She has some odd time element to her; having lived in three time periods and died in two of them, but she keep coming back and according to the Doctor is more than a mere young human woman. 2. She has sought out the Doctor. 3. She argued against the destruction of...

    Day of the Doctor

    A. I liked most of it, but I dislike the resolution, so much so it is spoiling most of the show for me. B. Capaldi's doctor apparently consist entirely of a pair of angry eyeballs. C. Clara may be Gallifrey in some manner.

    Need a suitably evil plan for a villain.

    He's going to steal ALL the puppies and kittens in the world and maroon them on an island where it rains all the time and there is no one to give them hugs! Also, he's got twelve dozen or so world ending scenarios in mind (computer virus sabotage causing nuclear exchange, man-made plagues...
