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.
Seska, I'm reading the
non-intereference statement as a way of trying to distance himself from the Ten we saw at the end of Waters of Mars. I think non-interference will not be an option, but I think this Doctor will try to use some degree of temperance in his affairs.
As for the
crack in the TARDIS, it's towards the end (a little after the 1 hour mark on my download), when Amy and the Doctor are talking about why he's taking her with him. It's a jaggedy line on what looks like an oscilloscope. The Doctor is very quick to turn off the monitor after promising Amy he has no other reason for taking her along.
My hope is that
I'm not reading too much into this, and that Eleven has a secretive and manipulative streak much like Seven's.
I'm so pleased that I did in fact notice
the crack in the Tardis machine in the first episode. Continuity yay!
I didn't notice the
crack in the oscilloscope until it was pointed out, but oooh.
I loved that
Amy's first reaction to being in the far future was that she's been dead for centuries.
Hey, wait, we never saw
Amy send the message to herself. Are we to assume it happened before that scene and she hit Forget or something?
DCJ, re: the name of
the Queen. Amused? I think she was meant to be a direct descendant; it wasn't just a reference. Right?
I'm enjoying the
difference in characterization and reactions that Eleven has. His response to being the only Time Lord and all the Gallifrey and Time War stuff was so completely different from Ten's immense angst, it was startling, but it still worked. I believed that he's really trying to move past it while not forgetting it.
I also did not notice the
"crack" in the oscilloscope,
but just rewatched that bit. Whoa.
Because nothing completes a Sunday evening like crack: Stephen Colbert profiles the Fightin' Pleisar Regiment:

(AKA: this is a Colbert Report/Farscape crossover. No, seriously.)
No shit? I gotta watch that. (He's such an enormous geek. I love him.)
Oh, it's fic, Steph, not actual Colbert footage.
Okay, even fic incorporating Colbert and Farscape is going to make me chortle.
