Ha! Camouflaged Dalek. Too cute.
I really hope this new series is as good as the previews.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Me too. I'm trying to keep an open mind about Eleven. I remember bemoaning the end of Nine and tiggy (wisely) assuring me to keep watching, that I would soon be enamored with Ten.
::sigh::

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought his threat was well-delivered in the trailer, and that's my biggest worry about them casting young: losing gravitas. So far, nothing I've seen bears out my worry.
Someone on IO9 gives this history of the Doctor and guns, to put the lie to the Guardian article:
One carried one in the Gunfighters. Five shot a Cyberman in the Console Room and shot a lock out. Four blasted a Giant Rat with a Fowling Gun... Nine carried one in the Parting of the Ways...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I thought there was one more Caprica this month, and then the second half of the season in the summer....

Art Crawl!!!
Really?
Whew.
I couldn't recall if it had been picked up - so worried now. Loving it too much.

They haven't been picked up yet for a second season. But they're close to finished producing the second half of the first season, I think.
The second half of the season actually starts in the fall.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Holy crap Caprica is getting good.
Dr "I love my dead robot daughter so much I will SET HER ON FIRE TO PROVE IT" Greystone? YOU ARE NOT RIGHT IN THE HEAD. OMG.
Also, I miss Tamara. I hope she's in the mid-season finale.

Trust my rage
I have a little more sympathy for Zoe now. Growing up in that house, no wonder. Although the blanks were a bit of a letdown (for which I was grateful.) we just learned that he wouldn't *actually* shoot his dog and we don't know whether Zoe would shoot the dog. To me her sensing the difference was a bit of punch-pulling.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I am surprised no one mentioned Lindsay Crouse on FF.
If I hadn't seen her name in the credits, I never would have recognized her.
They had to retcon away his flashback, so I think it was fair to be surprised.
I thought a retcon was only when the writers explain away something that was not originally planned. Do you think that was the case here?
