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.
Waters of Mars: OK, first of all, yay new
Doctor Who!
On to the spoilers:
I LOVED Captain Adelaide Brooke, and was really hoping she'd stick around for a while -- seemed unlikely she'd be a companion, but maybe a nemesis of sorts? But, of course, I get why she did what she did in the end. (Was anyone else thinking, "Dude, go get her body and hide it somewhere so it'll still look like she died on Mars!" But then he would have had to go track down the other two who ran off and dispose of them too, and that REALLY would have gone way too far, even for Ultimate Time Lord!Doctor.)
ita, I hadn't thought of it this way, but I think you're right that
we haven't seen the Doctor be this cold, at least to humans, since Nine. Which makes me wonder how I would have reacted if it had been Nine instead of Ten on that crazy power trip. But somehow it makes more sense with Ten, who has always seemed a little more unhinged to me. Maybe it's just that I always trusted and believed Nine, no matter what, whereas Ten has never inspired the same loyalty in me (much as I love Tennant).
Anyway,
I liked the themes of this one a lot, but watching the Doctor go mad with power was... uncomfortable, to say the least (and not necessarily in the way that was intended, I think). Also, wayyy too much Purposeful Voiceover of Remembrance for my taste. But on the other hand, flaming robots!
V: Okay, how did Erica know the combination to that room?? I mean, she is clearly awesome in many ways, but there has to be a reason.
I enjoy how manipulative the Vs are.
OK, the ending of the Prisoner was really depressing.
Sort of human spirt vs. evil corporatate CEO turns out to be Bambi vs. Godzilla.
My recording of V cut off! What happened after hottie blonde V girl walked through the silver door smiling smugly?

She tells Anna that Erica's son is the one, and they should use him. Anna tells her she's proud of her, to which she replies, "Thank you, mother." Dun dun DUN!!!
I just watched "Living in Harmony." Ahahahaha what the fuck??
The original (1960's) "Living in Harmony"? Yeah, if that is WTF wait until you see the series end.
Yeah, if that is WTF wait until you see the series end.
Because Fall Out just clears everything right up?
I think he meant that it is even
more
WTF than randomly turning your show into a Western for an episode.
AH! I missed the word "wait" in there.
