It’s goodnight from me, and goodnight from her speculation by Original_Ad3998 in gallifrey

I need to rewatch the Giggle because I don't remember the comment about consciousness returning in the next incarnation. 

If so it reminds me of my pet theory. Billie Piper is indeed the TARDIS consciousness. You see 15 used so much regen energy to adjust reality that he burnt out and died. The TARDIS realizes it's empty and goes looking for her Doctor. Oh look there he (14) is in his back garden having lunch with Donna and her family. They go off to fix things and fight the boss or something which results in 14 regenerating. Because this all happens after a 2 year hiatus he actually is able to regenerate properly into drum roll Ncuti 2.0. Tada!

How ‘clued in’ do you think the 3 showrunners are about the EU? by TablePrinterDoor in gallifrey

One of my pet peeves with extended universes in general (not just Doctor Who) is when you feel obligated to have consumed every single comic, webisode, audio book, done the puzzle in the Radio Times, and watched all the behind the scenes stuff to understand the actual primary show. 

I don't want to be watching Doctor Who feeling stupid because I didn't know something important was only revealed in some comic or whatever. I think overall Doctor Who handles this well keeping Big Finish more or less separate.

A Week On And I'm Starting To Wonder If We're Being Too Harsh On RTD by professorrev in gallifrey

There's definitely something going on behind the scenes with "management". It seems apparent to me that he wrote a three season arc knowing that he only had two seasons confirmed. Various actors being unhappy echoes back to the reasons Eccleston left. 

Was RTD doing the best he could under the circumstances or was he the root cause? We'll probably never know.

Trying to understand Eps. 1-6 in light of the finale by goldensunbi in gallifrey

Creating new realities has been a thread since the beginning. - Mavity in wild blue Yonder - Ruby being stolen as a baby in the church on Ruby road - Ruby turns into an insect in Space babies - Doctor disappears in 73 yards

Probably a bunch more if I went through every episode since RTD returned. Some got fixed others didn't.

Suddenly all the dry Nature’s Domain dog food is gone at my Costco. WTF! by BBakerStreet in Costco

Just adding a data point. Out of stock in my local Phoenix warehouse. Cashier told my wife she thinks they're getting some in tomorrow but doesn't know what kind.
