Doctor Who

[Virgil0211]

Can't find the clip on youtube, but it was when the Headless Monks were leading the Fat One into the chamber, the voice that was saying something like "We require each ally to offer up someone for conversion" was the Papal Mainframe.

The who-what now?

Go to the 7 minute mark

It does sound like Alex Kingston, but we probably shouldn't assume that means that it's River any more than we should assume the Enterprise computer is Nurse Chapel.

[FSBlueApocalypse]

Yeah, would be interesting though if Moffat tied it in with her "digital" copy in the Library

I'm not sure how well the idea of connecting the Papal Mainframe with the digital copy of Rive would work.  She didn't even start studying archeology until the 52nd century, which would seem to be a later era.

If you didn't understand the rhyme at the end of last night's episode

"Tick tock goes the clock
And what now shall we play?
Tick tock goes the clock
Now summer's gone away?

Tick tock goes the clock
And what then shall we see?
Tick tock until the day
That thou shalt marry me

Tick tock goes the clock
And all the years they fly
Tick tock and all too soon
You and I must die"

Tick tock goes the clock
We laughed at fate and mourned her
Tick tock goes the clock
Even for the Doctor

Tick tock goes the clock
He cradled her and rocked her
Tick tock goes the clock
even for the Doctor"

[MrBogosity]

That stanza with "mourned her" wasn't in the one Mark Gatiss tweeted.

I thought I'd posted this, but I guess not. It's Sylvester McCoy reading the Doctor's speech from The Pandorica Opens:

I'm not as big a fan of McCoy as others are, but that is more a product of him being in the show's twilight than anything else. His last season, when he got alot of changes, was pretty good though.

[MrBogosity]

Yeah, if there'd been more episodes like Ghost Light and The Curse of Fenric I think he'd be very fondly remembered.

[MrBogosity]

Awe. Some!

Very cool!

On a different note, a buddy of mine said that Tom Baker did an interview and said he should return as a regeneration of The Master for the 50th anniversary. Can't find a link, but I think it would be an interesting way to get Baker back and not have to explain any agoing.

[MrBogosity]

As if aging can't be explained with two lines in the script...

Remember when Tom Baker got aged in The Leisure Hive?

[evensgrey]

It takes kind of a LOT to make a Time Lord old.  It's been done to The Doctor twice, and both times it took major effort (at least, it was a major effort for anyone other than The Master).

I think we've got the proof that River was in prison for killing someone other than The Doctor, though.

The crew of the Teselector was quite clear that they went after people who weren't punished in their lifetimes for their crimes, and River was definitely being punished (however ineffectually it was) by being held in the Storm Cage for killing someone.

[MrBogosity]

Nah, all you need is for his TARDIS to bump into a Temporal Enigmatic Concatenator while in the Time Vortex and it'll age him until he goes back at the end of the episode.
