Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

it still warms my geeky heart to think that DH is probably stepping through a Stargate RIGHT NOW.

I hope he returns.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, if he winds up on an Ancient ship travelling at FTL 7 million light-years from Earth, I'm gonna be PISSED.

Well, new Doctor, new logo, makes sense really. And as the Tardis is so instantly recognisible, it makes sense to use that too. I actually quite like the old-fashioned script they've used.

I didn't like the revised theme music. I know Murray Gold, the composer (was at university with him), and I was almost tempted to get in touch an tell him off. But of course I didn't in the end. He also composed Martha's Theme, so I think it balances out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I really disliked the last two iterations of the logo--I didn't like the orange or the pointed oval plaque thingy, so I'm very glad of the redo. I'm most partial to the Peter Davison logo, but this works for me too.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Makes me wonder if they'll give the theme yet another rework too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I literally said "what the fuck is that?" out loud when I saw it.

Me too. Doctor WTF.

as the Tardis is so instantly recognisible

...and yet, I didn't recognise it as being Tardis-shaped. Logo fail. Or maybe Me fail. Whatever.

Normally Emails From Crazy People links belong in Natter, but this one just seemed to say Boxed Set to me...

Jess, did your DH make it back through the stargate?

He did! We IM'd for a bit last night before I went to bed and he went out to dinner with other press folks. He said he didn't bring me back a Stargate, but he did get to see them turn one on during the set visit. (It really does light up and spin around, but the splooshy water thingy is done later by computers. Shocking!)
