'Serenity'


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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

In some of the blond hair, stubble and craziness, John Simm in EOT:01 reminds me of Simon Pegg.

It was mentioned in whitefont that they used a Horcrux, but the device of imparting part of one's soul to a ring/thing is older than Harry Potter. In fact the shot of the picking up of the ring is almost a direct ripoff of the 1980 Flash Gordon movie ending of Ming and his ring. (I believe someone pointed that out when the original scene aired).

What was the reference to the silver cloak?

Wilford's friends blanketing London to find the Doctor. They called themselves the silver cloak. And they did their job!

The ring looked a lot like the Doctor's watch when he became human.

Oh, I like that re: the silver cloak. And yes, the ring had a similar design. I wonder if Prof. Yana had the ring? Did we ever see that?
