Oh, there's no way Donna would have let that pass without horrified commentary back in the day.
Did Donna canonically have the opportunity?
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

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.

FlashForward: Is there any reason why Mark couldn't have either (1) looked for a big piece of metal to place between Dimitri & the gun or (2) looked for a little piece of metal to jam behind the trigger so that the gun wouldn't fire?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I saw a MacGyver episode where he used hockey tickets to stop a gun from firing.

Tonight's Who:
It went really fast! While the story was so simple as to not really engage me, there were so many snippets of dialogue that were completely charming.
I love the way the Doctor calls Amy "Pond" and how clearly affectionate he is with her .
River's entrance had me squeeing, River's a Buffista ! Those shoes, that handbag containing a sonic swiss-army gun, no less. Delightful!
Also, loved the my hand is stone, no it's not! scene. Space teeth ! Alive! 'Just saying."
Oh, and a wonderful companion to my favorite quote from the Tick... "Oh, no offense, Bishop ." "Quite alot taken, if you don't mind ."
I am loving 11 more and more...only I'm a bit thrown out when he speaks a word with a u in it. Sshtuupid, asshuuming, etc. Is that particular to a specific accent, or simply an affectation?
Next week looks crackin'. Can't wait.

Yes, I'm thinking it's Alterna-Walter as well, who may well be quite peeved at having his son taken away from him.

Not with Ten proper, but presumably the version that grew from his severed hand had the expected number of everything.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Which could give some interesting opportunities with Peter, if he has to choose a "side". What I hope DOESN'T happen is a "Woe, that we can never be together for you must return to your Universe, and I must stay in mine. Woe! Woe! [back of hand to forehead] Woe." thing.
Because, apparently, I am shippy as hell.

OK, seriously annoyed. There are some DEEPLY disruptive edits in Doctor Who. They showed the video of Amy telling herself to get the Doctor off the ship, and then much later a scene where he holds that against her, but NO scene of how the Doctor found out about that video or them ever discussing it. I can only assume there was some discussion scene that got cut, which is boggling.
Epic USian-editing fail!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Is anyone else enduring Mothman for Jewel Staite?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Err, she doesn't erase it in time. He sees the end of it when he comes in on her.
