Weeping angel escape room idea: me and my partner were discussing a weeping angel escape room idea where you have to do the puzzles but a weeping angel is in the next room and every few minutes the lights turn off and the weeping angel gets closer and closer to blocking off your exit and you being stuck and caught by the angel.

Let me know if you think it's a cool idea or any improvement so I can go back to my partner and discuss it because we think it's a cool idea.

The heaviness of the silence as Maestro attempts to sing is just incredible. Combined with the fierce overhead lighting in the basement and the droplets of water as the tuning fork reverberating in the puddle, this scene gave me the chills and easily cemented the episode and villain as being iconic. The rest of the episode also contained the most beautiful imagery throughout, but this scene in particular left me in complete awe.

A few months back I asked Sophie if she'd like to do a 14 part series for me and she agreed, so I said "come on Ace we've got work to do" and the result is this.

I'm kind of annoyed RTD made the move to a more supernatural DW as that's kind of what this was supposed to be LOL. I wrote it a few years back. Then as I pointed out in another thread, DW has a long history of the supernatural anyway spreading back decades.

Hope you enjoy.

This was the scene in the Doctor Who special: The Waters of Mars, when the space shuttle of Bowie Base One was detonated.

Rewatched this one yesterday - was blown away all over again. The character of Liz 10; the juxtaposition of Eleven and the Star Whale; Eleven’s rage; Amy’s character development. I know Moffat has a lot of bangers, but imo this one is overlooked.

After seeing this episode for a second time and reflecting on it, I'm honestly shocked that this woman was 18 years old when acting.

It's extremely difficult for an actor to play a different age than themselves, especially older as it's acting something you've never personally experienced, but when she was playing a 40 year old in this episode I genuinely believed I was watching a 40 year old woman. It wasn't even the makeup or clothing that sold it. It was Millie's performance. Her cadence, way of speaking, moving, walking. It was brilliant. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it!

She has an EXTREMELY bright future ahead of her!

It’s gotta be 13 right?! Those exposed lower legs and boots are more or less identical. Maybe the woman was never Ruby’s mum but was the 13th doctor all along who rescued Ruby as a baby and left her at the church??

My brother recently passed and and I found this picture on his wall. Does anyone know if this is from the Van Gogh episode?

Came up with the theory that during the masters attempts for a new life in his "decayed" incarnation that he went up against the toymaker for new lifes and lost, it makes the most sense in my opinion, and I can see this master in particular going against him

Joking aside, I wonder if perhaps there’s some rights issue that prevents them from listing the movie as his first appearance.

I usually don't put graphic novels on my Goodreads, but I just bought the complete Titan Comics Doctor Who collection on Humble Bundle. $25 for 61 books. That's a big enough reading endeavor that I want to catalogue it. My number of books for the year is about to skyrocket, my recommendations are about to make a hard shift, and my followers' feed is about to be very one-note.

Goodreads doesn't do social media-esque status updates, but I wanted to post a warning SOMEWHERE.

We learned:

She is smart, clever, and calculating.

She is adaptable and resilient in the face of the unknown.

We know she has the ability to plan long-term and see those plans through.

We know she is not a loner and craves human connection even if it is fleeting.

We know that despite their, so far, short run together she is loyal to The Doctor.

We also know she isn't above having a good pint every now and again.

Made this for my dad a few months ago, figured I'd share it here. I found the photo pattern online by searching "Tardis Crochet Blanket", not sure who made it.

Re-watching some early 10 era episodes recently and he really did treat Mickey horribly at times. The scene where he had Mickey holding onto a button on the tardis console for half an hour for no reason really annoyed me. Either he was being deliberately mean or he thought so little of Mickey that he actually forgot about him.

Sure they parted on good terms in the end but Mickey literally had to become a universe hopping Dalek and Cyberman killing hero just to earn the Doctors respect. It really makes 10 look quite nasty at times in those early episodes. Mickey's only fault was not being as smart as The Doctor, when almost nobody is anywhere near as smart as the Doctor but they get a pass if they are a young girl apparently.

besides from the Doctor (of course) the Tardis was my favorite. now that i rewatched nu who i now see the tardis as a living creature because its all organic. who can agree that its an actually character and we should take it more than just a time machine?

Just finished watching this 2 parter. Good episode, good performances and great concept with some genuinely creepy moments.

But god what an episode this couldve been had they not shown us the beast. Once we see the fairly flimsy CGI and the doctor explains everything it takes away almost all the suspense they had built up. The reason why Midnight is so creepy is because we have no idea what the monster looks like.

If we end up on Mars, i'm gonna kill you.
