'Harm's Way'


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.

“Not dead yet!”

I loved how the FBI agent kept tracking the Hobbit down!

Yeah, Janis standing at the gate in Toronto saying, "Really?" gave me a grand giggle.

More, more, more Jack Davenport/Lloyd Simcoe. Love how Mark knew what he was doing by saving Lloyd.

Anyone else go to a Spike place during the Henry V reference?

(Very mildly spoilery as regards plot and design.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Anyone else go to a Spike place during the Henry V reference?

Not only did I go there, I was a little jarred when they *didn't* say "We band of buggered." For a minute, it sounded wrong to me. Because apparently all that Buffy has altered my brain.

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

Same with me, Steph, because I started reciting along, wrongly.

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

From that Doctor Who article:

Certain elements, of course, remain the same as throughout the series' entire history – he never uses weapons

That doesn't sound right to me. Maybe not conventional weapons, but certainly things that could be called weapons.

Otherwise, it makes me look forward to the new season more than anything has so far.

All is well that ends in pizza.

They also say for the first time the Tardis has an interior door. Huh? Um, no.

Glad to see the first comment addressed it.

Actually, I take that back - Tennant had a sword fight in his first episode, didn't he? If that's not a weapon, I don't know what is. The fact-checking monkeys at the Guardian are asleep on the job, methinks.

I think lazy writer meant guns.

Except that Tennant used a gun in the previous episode.

Perhaps the moral is, don't use the word "never" when discussing Doctor Who.
