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.

Who episode 4: this was a definite
behind the sofa job, but I do have one criticism. I thought the Angels couldn't even move when they can see each other, hence the face covering and the loneliness. Then why were the approaching from all sides in the caves? I do hope they retcon that one away next week
.
Otherwise
great stuff. I wonder when the Doctor is going to warm to River Song, at the moment she mostly just gets on his nerves, I think. Must be tough to get to know someone if you're already aware you're going to marry. And I do love the cheek of saying that nearly 50 years of Tardis noise comes from him leaving the brakes on. You just know half the audience was saying "I love that noise!" along with the Doctor
.
Really liked
Amy this week, have completely warmed to her, she really is good (like the Doctor says)
.
Fiona, if it was
dark, then they couldn't see each other either, maybe?
Yes, but in Blink
in the basement after the Tardis dematerialised it would also have been dark, at least once the lightbulb blew, but I assumed that the Angels would stay frozen because they were all facing each other.
(Nobody tell me that they wouldn't or I may never sleep again)
.
In retrospect, Fiona, I think you are right. Huh. Must rewatch.
Fiona, the issue in Blink of what would happen
once the lightbulb blew, is something that was mentioned here at the time. I assumed that they would be free to move, but I think it's an open question.
Why exactly
was there current to a basement light in a residence that had been sitting abandoned for who knows how long, anyway
?
I just watched The Beast Below. I really thought I wouldn't like 11 as much as 10 or 9. I highly doubted the stories would be as engaging in this new season. I'm here to say that I was wrong.
Yes, I think I remember the discussions around Blink.
OK, I will try to keep an open mind about
massed Weeping Angels moving in the dark
.
I'm feeling like a curmudgeon, but 11 has yet to really grow on me. And this is considering I was all open-minded about it and quite willing to accept him, which I have, but still... hasn't quite grown on me the way I'd hoped. Of course, I'm only on ep 2, but I'm feeling a little befuddled, considering how many of my friends (as well as my husband) thought he was just fab by ten minutes into the ep.
Ah well... I'm sure it'll happen eventually.
