It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Buffy ,'Empty Places'


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.

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

I do kind of wish they had better delineated the Master's fate. Granted, that means he can come back again (and not necessarily as John Simm (sp?)), but I thought his final act deserved a bit of a follow-through, one way or the other, especially since he turned out to be a monster BECAUSE of the Time Lords.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Did anyone else catch that it was Midshipman Frame, from "Voyage of the Damned," that the Doctor hooked Jack up with?

I recognized him, but couldn't have given you his name with a gun to my head.

Also, Mickey looked HAWT with the beard.

Trust my rage

I thought Mickey and Martha both looked great.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I want to see a Mickey-and-Martha spinoff.

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

Yet another end of decade list - 10 best SF second-in-commands.

I adore the seconds-in-command as a rule. That that list does not contain Susan Ivanova makes me very sad. And I would have put Saul Tigh higher, if only because Michael Hogan was - for me - the best actor on BSG and the reason I stuck with the show till the end. I think I would do Spock at 1, Ivanova at 2, and Tigh at 3. Zoe I love a whole lot, but I can't get past the only-13-episodes thing.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I couldn't choose between Dr. Horrible and Captain Jack. I voted for George Takei on the grounds that trying to choose would make my brains boil and drain out my ears.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I watched the End of Time.

I think it was inconsistent and definitely self-indulgent, but I also think there was some meat there. I will need to rewatch.

Other than that, I just have to say I love Wilf and I'm glad he got to play a role here.

Donna's wedding and especially seeing Joan's great-granddaughter were the most poignant and special to me.

Me, too. And the mention of Geoff Noble lending the Doctor a quid just destroyed me.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Hee, there's a Dalek on Better off Ted.
