Morning Y'all.
So sorry to read about your tooth, Lyn.
I'm glad you're doing better, Adam.
This is the first day that there has been any big improvement with my cold/flu. I still have no energy though.
I ended up just going to Home Depot yesterday after work and BUYING a "garden Cart". It's metal with pneumatic tires and the sides come off.
In the box it was $90. I coulda made one for a little less. (The wheels are the expensive part.) So now I have an easier way of loading up the tort gang from the back yard and bringing them in from the frigid December 80 plus degree cold blasts.

!!!!DOCTOR WHO SEASON 9 SPOILERS!!!!!


Hooray! I've finished the two-parter of "Under the Lake/Before the flood" :D Good stuff!

I've been hosting a book club for about a year and a half. I enjoy sharing views/critiques/whatever probably a bit too much:) Well, it ain't no dern book, but here goes some random thoughts that came to my mind about the episode...
In no particular discernable order:) :

Appreciated the deaf character and use of sign language. Would have found it very fun and clever if the Tardis translated sign and both the Doctor and Clara could sign fluently, but I see how the use of sign added to the story.

I thought the Doctor's social flashcards were funny. "I am sorry for the loss of your loved one/friend/pet"--or however it went exactly :D The cards are a funny idea.

I'm desperately missing the sonic screwdriver. There's no way this can last! I didn't think the sunglasses would be a permanent thing.:( Funny at first, now, not so much! There were a million times I wanted to see him use the sonic: on the ghosts, on the suspended animation capsule, and I wanted to see him try to sonic the closed blast doors that divided them. Plus, I like the swish of the wrist and the whirring sounds:( I like it being used to threaten Aliens, when it's just a screwdriver! :(

Loved when the doctor gave the excited/horrified dialogue leading up to: "I want to kiss it to death." -Great stuff!

Liked the Beethoven time travel analogy and how it fit in the end of the episode.

I DO like the guitar. I could absolutely see your view on it, but I think it's different to have a doc who plays an instrument and I like that electric guitar bleeds into the credits. Yes, he dresses "cool," but I think he still acts like such a "fuddy-duddy" that I don't think it's too over the top. Besides the previous doctor wore an old fashioned "nerdier" ensemble. So, it works for me.

Loved when the deaf leader of the group poses the question to Clara about whether travelling with the Doctor has made her accustomed to sacrificing others' lives.

And finally! (Yes, I can talk and type! You've seen this already!), of course, I loved the Doctor jumping out of the sleep chamber. We all know it's coming, but still a fun bit of writing there :D

Ta-da!

Now, I'm passing the talking quill over to you and going to bed:)
Glad you liked it
She was the second deaf actor in Doctor Who, but the first to use signing. I loved that the Doctor had dumped signing from his mind and replaced it with semaphore.
I like the cards too. One of them referenced dropping off Sarah Jane in Aberdeen !
There's lots more to come of the sonic shades :(
I want to kiss it to death!
A great monster, but not used enough, and how lucky that the desert living monster was conveniently next to a dam that could be broken!
The two bootstrap paradoxes, Beethoven and the story were great, the idea of time travel used properly.(and in reality why it's impossible).
I like the guitar version of the theme tune, but still not sure about the guitar as a prop.His speaker in the Tardis is from Magpie Electrics as seen in "The Idiot's Lantern" and the "clockwork squirrel" the Doctor mentioned previously is sat next to it!
Clara is becoming the Doctor, this is important in the season arc.
Good stuff!!!
Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones next!
Enjoy!

Thought you knew.
The people I rescued her from cut it out and used it to make a necklace.
She had a hole in her virtually down to the bone, which i washed every day, sometimes more often to keep clean and slowly if healed over all the soft, yellowish nastiness until it's sort of normal now.
Poor girl.:(

OH.MY.GAWD!!!!! :eek: :mad: :mad: :mad: :(

How on God's green earth can supposedly intelligent beings do such a thing???!?!?

Thanks goodness you got her Adam- I shudder to think what they might have come up with next.
How did you manage to get her from them?????

"And now for something completely different..."
Excerpts from a very silly little book called The Space Child's Mother Goose.

Probable-Possible, my black hen,
She lays eggs in the Relative When.
She doesn't lay eggs in the Positive Now
Because she's unable to Postulate How.

Little Miss Muffet
Sits on her tuffet
In a nonchalant sort of way.
With her force field around her
The spider, the bounder,
Is not in the picture today.

Little Bo-Peep
Has lost her sheep,
The radar has failed to find them.
They'll all, face to face,
Meet in parallel space,
Preceding their leaders behind them. :p
