    In other news, just watched the last appearance of River Song. Or the first, timeywimey and all that. I know what’s up with her vaguely cuz I’ve read the wiki, but that was still a great two-parter. Getting to the end of Tennant now.

      So good. You’re still in for so much good stuff. I’m caught up but have to wait 2 days to watch the ep coming out this weekend because me and the missus are working opposite shifts

        I’m gonna watch it anyway probably, haha. I haven’t watched the first appearance of the Fifteenth but I assume I won’t need to? New series and all that. Gonna take those the long way around.

          Yeah given its basically a reboot you’re probably okay. I would save the recent specials for when you’re up to them, you might be missing a bit of context for the new series I guess but there’s just so much in them that is so fantastic when you’ve seen the rest.

          Just depends on your preference!!

            Eh, I don’t care about spoilers anyway — spent enough time wiki diving back when I wasn’t planning on actually watching and I still remember some stuff (plus I just like wiki diving so sometimes I still do lol)

      Is that the ‘Silence in the Library’ and ‘Forest of the Dead’ episodes? If so, one of my favourite episodes. Kinda creeped me out a little when I first watched it.

        It’s very good. I’m disappointed that in all several hundred years he got he didn’t manage to think of a way to give her back a real body after uploading to CAL though…

          I take your point. That is very doctor-esque though, lol

          But that could be one of those “fixed” points in time where his hands are tied. Because doesn’t she help keep things running? I’ve forgotten what CAL did

              Right, I thought so. She essentially saves it. I want to say that maybe there’s no way of reversing what happened, but there are so many possibilities and universes that it seems impossible there isn’t some solution.

              Which kinda leads me back to it being a fixed point in time. Which also feels like a bit of a cop out excuse
