Is Moffat trying to copy Dallas?
After watching the Christmas special it has pretty much proved that Series 8 was a dream and none of the events happened.
That idea had to have come from the Dallas dream series but the real question is why did Moffat do it? Dallas did it because they regretted killing Bobby Ewing so could Moffat have done it because he regretted making The Master a female or killing Danny Pink or maybe because he made the Moon an egg. I shall look forward to series 9 and maybe The Doctor and Clara will have REAL adventures. |

I think moffat could learn from the recent series of Dallas in how to produce a TV drama. I thought it was quality.

Which seems to make the rest of your post pretty much redundant. |

Series 8 was not a dream. I have no idea why anyone would think this. The dream state happened after he said goodbye to Clara at the end of the season.

Correct! [\deep buzzing voice] OP: Never let what actually happened in the story get in the way of your opinion.

Perhaps every episode since 1963 has been a dream.

You mean it's all in the mind of that policeman who appeared right at the start of An Unearthly Child? Are we figments of his imagination too?

Yes. Yes he is. Soon as I saw the "Stetsons are cool" scene in The Impossible Astronaut I thought, aye aye, here come the Dallas references. This can only end in a rip off of the ludicrous shower scene from that programme. The only detail in the scene that we all know is coming....will Capaldi be wearing a shower cap as another homage to Jon Pertwee?

Yes it would be great if the Doctor could go back and get Pam Ewing from the 80's she was a real hottie in her prime

It's a long story. Last edited by Vopiscus : 29-12-2014 at 21:22. Reason: Faffing about with punctuation. |

I wish the McCoy era was a dream that never actually happened.

I actually made a joke about how the xmas special wasn't like "Bobby walking out of the shower," in the main episode thread. The reason I made it was because the notion of "it was all just a meaningless dream," was ludicrously inaccurate compared to what the episode actually portrayed.
The idea that it suggests the whole of series 8 was a dream is just...I actually don't have the words to describe it. Oh wait...yes, I do. Obvious troll is obvious. |
