It's a weekly celebrity gossip email which (I think) is or was connected to the people who produced Heat Magazine. It is strange they included a story about Steven Moffat but did retract and apologise a week later.

Yes if I remember correctly the thread was started by some mouthpiece for the gutter publication and closed down a week or so later by the same mouthpiece (presumably once some lawyers had been in touch). I was mostly amazed that Popbitch is still going after all these years and hasn't been sued to oblivion by now.

All I want is an end to the bloody Dr as a woman nonsense.

Please no more hugely important companions (like Clara) who are saving the universe. We just need someone to represent the human side of the story, The companion should not be cleverer than the doctor or have all the answers. The companion needs to be likeable and fun.
I don't mind if she has a boyfriend/family as long as they don't take over the show. It might be better to have a single girl for a while though. |

As the Doctor walked into own his timestream to rescue Clara, and was last seen carrying her, it's reasonable to assume he walked out again, seeing that BOTH emerged unharmed.
After all, he's not meant to walk into it either (hence it was collapsing in on itself) It would have been nice for this to have been referenced afterwards, but it got slightly lost on the 50th anniversary celebrations, and then 11's regeneration. As it is there's quite a time gap between NOTD and DOTD to be filled by Big Finish! |

At one point (near the end of Hartnell's time IIRC) the TARDIS prop got a new paint job and the St John's Ambulance badge was painted over and never replaced. |

You read DWM ("Tom says it's not a hit"), but didn't read the Moffat Q&A when asked how The Doctor got Clara out of his time stream. ("He walked out", was the answer).
Hey, The Name of The Doctor confused you, I get that. The abstract concept of a Time Lords time stream must be bewildering to a lot of Popbitch followers, so don't worry! Ha.Ha...But you don't have to think about it too hard to reach a conclusion that will satisfy what was shown. The Doctor only recognises Vic.Clara as Oswin when she says "Run you clever boy...", but because he did not recognise the words when Oswin says them, he can't have met Clara before. It seems logical, therefore, that when the Doctor (metaphorically) walked out of his own time stream with Clara in the midst of her splintering, he removed all her splinters. The two splinters that were left must be there to ensure that the chain of events that leads to them needing to be left there can occur. I choose to believe that The Doctor himself left these splinters, but it could easily be something else. Time itself might have done this to prevent a cataclysmic temporal collapse of inter-dimensional reality, for instance. Perhaps messing with the time stream of your current incarnation is way too dangerous and they had to be left... Of course, there is always the default reason that crappie megalomaniac Moffat crappie ruining the show crappie Moffat crap writing Moffat crap, is behind it all. (Smiley face to indicate I'm being 'funny'.) |

How about an end to whining fans who demand that the producer is ruining Doctor Who in the year that it achieves one of it's best seasons ever.

As for example in my point of view I thought series 9 was the weakest season/series since it started (2005 return) and that was down to the writing and decisions made by the producers, they had a great cast and set-up for a good series following on from the excellent 2014 Xmas episode and instead wasted it by delivering a damp squid. Opinions huh.. |

That's point of view though, something that some people seriously lack a understanding of.

And only noticed cos I've done the same with the whole squid/squib thing.

(I quoted salad's edited post, which he seems to have thought better of, so I'll remove mine. Shame, though, as my post was very witty. Well, I thought it was anyway.) |

The same impulse to capture the impact of the bigger, more strongly coloured film props seems also to lie behind the New Paradigm Daleks, but that, as the man said, is another and much more unpleasant story. |

It wasn't so much I thought better of it rather I remembered which forum I was posting on...the one where people are terribly thin skinned and rather than engaging in robust, tough and adult debate they prefer to 'tell teacher' when things get a little bit heated. And so the passive aggressive and disingenuous nature of discussions on here just gets worse because no one says what they really think and its all done under the false cloak of 'civility'. Shame though...i would love to have seen your post! . |

Never ending story arcs that never seem to go anywhere satisfactorily. River Song - I was looking at you.
Also the Doctor's 'death' in Season 6. Dragged out to the point where even I didn't care anymore. And please, let's not have another Clara type companion. Donna Noble and Wilfred Mott's importance wasn't dragged out as long. Mind you it was never clarified that Clara met the Doctor as a child on Gallifrey. Only inferred, so plenty of scope to rewrite that debacle. |
