Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

'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.

Does anyone know if they're airing the SJA over here?

They've aired several eps on BBCA.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Sylvester McCoy was in a drawer in a morgue when he transformed into Paul McGann. The transition from 8 to 9 was offscreen, but he was presumably alone.

Unless he was in Torchwood, in which case he was making out while hiding from an alien.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Argh. I've missed it all except the first season. Thankfully, it appears to be on Netflix.

Art Crawl!!!

Did they air season 2 episodes?

Because I thought that they had aired a season 1 marathon?

Last I knew, nobody in the US had aired any SJA season 2, but I might have missed it.

No, I think you're right. I'd imagine there'd be SOME noise about it here if it had aired. I mean, people chattered about Demons, and everyone was fairly clear that was going to be a bad idea going in.

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

There's definitely been no airing of anything other than SJA season 1 here in the US, pisser.

I did really like Martha's actual doctor boyfriend. Another story we may never hear. Radio play!

Trust my rage

Random question - has The Doctor ever died/transformed alone before?

(I think) Strega linked a blog entry above that listed, among other things, how Ten's death was sort of a compilation of the deaths of the other Doctors. That RTD borrowed something from each of their deaths. For one, it mentioned a doctor that died alone, but I forget which one.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Two was regenerated by decree by the Time Lords (it was his sentence after the trial storyline concluded, that and being stuck on Earth with a disabled TARDIS), so he was alone.

Found that, thanks. Interesting take on things. But I disagree with his positive take on Matt Smith, at least for now.

I figured out what's really bugging me about him - his hair and forehead remind me too much of James Van Der Beek. Do not want this to become Dawson's Tardis. I doubt that will happen with Moffat, though.
