St John's Ambulance is a medical organization over here. It organizes emergency treatment, like a smaller-scale Red Cross. The logo was on the original TARDIS - every 1960s police call box would have had one - but it disappeared at some point during the series.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

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.

I am so tempted to print out that poster and hang it in my office. But no one would get it. And it might worry them.

Theodosia, I liked this version of Riverworld so much better than that other one.
If only they had some other, more charismatic actress playing Jessie - it would have been even more enjoyable.

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

Oh, my 'isttas. What would I have done without you, taking care to all the little things and details in an ep? Because the last ep of DW (which I have only now watched),left me "huh?" a little bit. But then I saw Amy, and again was stunned by her beauty. She has that affect on me, mostly because 11 is... not that much with the looking, but oh-so-much with the passion. Which is still cool, and yet - he seems younger than her.
The iDaleks indeed made me think, at once, "collect them all!", but something in that ep didn't sit correctly. Maybe because I understood and heard only about 80% of what they were saying. However, once again I see the same theme I see in other pop-culture media I consume. And it's hardly the first time.
From the current DW to BtVs, season 8, I see again and again the same idea. The same theme. "Something is absolutely fucked up with the world, and we're the ones who did it". The vampire popularity in the comics, the Daleks ("I created you - no, we created you!") and hurting the space whale in DW. It's exciting. It's scary. It's pining down a notion, a feeling. Between the Amnesty latest scandal to ridicules legislation and court rulings (though in my country, courts are usually the final stand to protection), it feels right.
There's a TV show that will start airing tonight in Israel, named (kind of. Hard to translate the exist meaning) "Scoundrels". It's about two elderly men, from the generation that built and fought for Israel. One day, after they see what the youngsters are doing to their old love, they decide to fight back for the country they believed in, after years on which they feel as if their dignity became into nothing. So they starting a mass murder of rude, insensitive 20-something folks. And I think it's brilliant, dark humor, and I hope the TV show will be as good as its description.
And from the two elderly men of Scoundrels to the Doctor who's trying to fix space and time and hearts, I think of the subtext. Of our world, our lives. Of what became our reality.

Thanks so much for the Tenth video. Fun!
