Plot Holes

I've always seen people pick up on and bemoan plot holes. They are always there.

However, in a show such as Doctor Who you have to accept that there are 'timey wimey' effects that mean things don't always follow in the most natural order and there are often times when you have to fill in the gaps to suit your view of a scene or situation.

My biggest issue is when people create plot holes that aren't there and just want to find fault because it fits their previous thoughts on that actor/director/writer/showrunner! 

I love a bit of mystery when I watch Doctor Who and the marvel of the show is that it entertains but also makes you think.

So stop looking for problems and enjoy it 'your way'

My new discovery

I am planning (hoping) to post here on a daily basis so to keep that up I thought I would share this:

These were discovered in a second-hand shop today and represent a good day!

I don't know if I will ever collect every DVD but it's always good to increase the collection!

Clara Oswald

This was the news I was hoping for!

Having enjoyed another excellent episode I faced the anxious wait to find out whether Jenna would still be with us next year.

It was a very clever trick that Moffat played and had me ready to say goodbye! 

I can now look forward to another series with Jenna alongside Peter. 

Merry Christmas!!!

Treasure Find

I couldn't believe my luck when out shopping the other week I came across these little treasures:

I can't bring myself to actually open the boxes, let alone actually drink from them! Can't believe the total cost was under £20 too!

Only 3 days to go!

Withdrawal Symptoms

Why do I have to be so busy? Why do I not have the time to sit down and review Capaldi and the impact of Series 8?

I guess it will have to wait. I guess I will have to see out the Christmas special before I get the chance to fully absorb myself in what Series 8 meant to me and where I would like to see the next series going.

So for now I must get back to finishing my work and maybe sneak a little peek on the forums at Gallifrey Base. Then before I know it we will be there and Nick Frost will bound on to the screen and we will enjoy another festive dose of Who :)

Branching Out

I have a new branch to my online adventure!

I have joined the craze that is Instagram! I have very little idea what I'm doing but I have at least got started.  If you want to join me then you can by following @whovian_with_a_lightsaber

As you will notice from my name It is reflecting both Doctor Who and Star Wars

I just need a decent profile picture now :)

Learning New Skills

I am hoping that this works now.

This is my first proper attempt at video editing. All I have done is removed the original audio and replaced it with a music track.  I then replaced part of the original audio and was fairly happy with the outcome:

A Whovian without Who

The title of this post suggests a situation that we all fear.
A time when Doctor Who is no more...and we all walk around wondering how to survive.

Alternatively it could be a strange parallel existence where Doctor Who never existed and yet we all know there's something we're missing...something in the corner of our eyes...

However, I am simply referring to that annual gap between the end of a series and the Christmas Special!
Yes, there is a large volume of classic Who for me to catch up on but this year we have a much shorter gap than previous years I'm struggling to establish a viewing routine.
I have watched a few Tom Baker stories and the usual batch of Smith/Tennant re-runs but I am finding it particularly tricky this year as I'm not sure of a few things regarding the future.

The first is my reaction to Series 8 and Capaldi himself.  I did find myself watching each episode a number of times and found that I was enjoying how things were moving.  I am planning a pre-christmas Series 8 marathon where I will look to see how I feel about Series 8 as a whole.

The second is the Jenna Coleman issue. Is she staying? Is she going?
I have enjoyed watching Clara, especially with the 11th Doctor and feel that if the Doctor was to re-discover Gallifrey then Clara would be the ideal companion for that journey.

So, what does a Whovian do without Who?
He simply doesn't.
It's impossible.
It does not compute.

I cannot wait for the 25th, and hopefully by that point I will have a resolution to both of my points.
Until then, Merry Christmas!
