There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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.

Is RTD really correct in assuming that future writers and showrunners won't want to use any of the old cast?

Did he say that?

Yes, in the Confidential.

Actually, he said something like: he doesn't know whether or not they'll be used again, but has no reason to assume they will; new crew, new stories, and all that. Unfortunately I've already deleted the Confidential from my PVR or I'd go and write up the quote verbatim.

I don't think it really matters whether or not we'll see these characters again, it was DT and RTD saying goodbye through the Doctor.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The rest of the cast can act;

But not necessarily do accents (yes, still stuck on that).

I'm personally still holding out for Ace to return.

I'd love to see what Ace is doing twenty years on! And since we never saw her leave the show, we have no idea where she might be.

ETA: I always liked her--she was so impulsive. Like Leela, only with explosives!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sighhh.....

Reason 4,691 I should be Trudy Tennant.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I thought that Mickey/Martha showed just how much character growth Mickey had gone through.

I mean we are a long way from "I'm the tin dog!" realization. He has built up to the potential he showed in the alternate reality (boyfriend notwithstanding).

Also, we don't know where in their time lines that scene was IRT Martha and Mickey, could be a couple years hence...

Good point, that could have been a dead husband down the road or whatever.

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.

Good point, that could have been a dead husband down the road or whatever.

Heh. Ever so cheerful.

I assumed that it was several years in the future, as evidenced by the full beard on Mickey and the different hair on Martha :)

Boston area-istas - The Brattle theater is showing Turn Left, Stolen Earth & Journey's End on Saturday. It starts at 9:30 pm, though, so it will go fairly late (they say 135 minutes, but it's GOT to be longer than that).
