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.

Well, no it doesn't but don't let that alter your view.

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

No, not at all.

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!

OP: Never let what actually happened in the story get in the way of your opinion.

Er. Nope. Did you dream your theory?

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?

"We're all stories in the end."

Hmmm....existential crisis alert!

Hopefully everything from when clara died in the snowmem turns out to be a dream in her final minutes similar to the pam ewing dream. We can then look forward to seeing matt Smith back as the doctot in the next serie

Perhaps every story up until The Mind Robber was real but then the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe never really escaped from the Land Of Fiction

# "Its a god awful small affair,
to the girl with the mousy hair,
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go,
But her friend is nowhere to be seen,
Now she walks through her sunken dream..."#

You don't...you don't think?...

This comment is so idiotic it couldn't possibly be anything other than blatant trolling...

Shame the Americans dont seem to agree.

Thanks for not watching guys & getting it cancelled!

So who (ahem) would you like to see coming out of the shower?

Clara.

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

Actually, every episode since 1958 has been a dream.

It's a long story.

Perhaps this thread is a nightmare?

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.

Yaaay! David Bowie, Is There Life on Mars, I think.


Edit: Oh, and don't forget about the amazingly appropriate line: "Look at those cavemen go."

Wasn't it cancelled?
