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.
Father/daughter
squicks me out too, because there's obviously more going on. I disagree with most of the blog extracts, actually. Except the bit about
Eleven stepping through the pictures of the previous incarnations of the Doctor to establish the continuity, but then that was completely obvious
.
Amy obviously has
emotional problems, many of which may be traceable to that one night. But that doesn't make her a child. Most other companions have had issues of one kind or another.
I do wonder what happened to
Amelia's parents, but I'm sure we'll find out at some point
.
I don't know. I like his analysis because it makes me look at the ep differently. I see your point about Amy being a grown up and making her own decisions, but his analysis made me understand from another point of view the point of view of a child Moffat entered into the TARDIS with. Even if I didn't agree with every word, I think he nailed the notion down. Amy is sill waiting for the Doctor to come with the TARDIS, even after 14 years and 4 psychiatrists. That's something that rationality and being a grown up who's gonna get married the following day can't take away from her. And honestly, I prefer to think of her journey as a child's journey, and not as an "in love with the Doctor. Yes, again" journey.
Viewers think new Doctor Who is 'too sexy'
The return of Doctor Who to television screens on Saturday night has led to a host of complaints and comments on online message boards that it is 'too sexy'.
What. Ev.
Viewers think new Doctor Who is 'too sexy'
You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Did they miss the previous two Doctors? Because, bless Smith and everything, but NO.
Perhaps they think that Tennant is beyond sexy.
Which is understandable.
Ha- I didn't want to be the one to say it, but this Doctor, while fine and Doctor-ish and all, is not sexy.
I actually had a post get eaten on Sunday where I basically said that yeah, I can accept him as the Doctor and he did well in the role, but he's just a bit too goofy for me. And I sort of miss the maudlin.
Hasn't Chuck ever heard of shooting someone to disarm and disable them? You don't HAVE to shoot to kill, you know; you can shoot someone in the legs for instance!
To back ita up a bit here, the reason why you don't shoot to wound or disable? Or why you don't "shoot the tires" and other TV/movie tropes? Because it doesn't really work. Probably the most believable treatment of this is the "Firefly" gag, which was repeated on "Castle": where Nathan Fillion gets complimented for shooting the villain in the arm and replies, "I was shooting for the head!"
Chuck: Could anyone tell what action figures Morgan was pulling out of his locker in last night's episode?
