Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Doctor Who (UK):

I really enjoyed this episode! It might have been the first one of the season that felt... smooth to me, like everything and everybody was fitting together the way they should. Obviously not everyone feels that way about it, but I thought it was great fun in an almost effortless kind of way. I like Rory -- agreed that he's not the most fantastic actor, but so far he's mostly just been required to be hapless and goofy, which he pulls off pretty well. I'm sticking with my theory that the Doctor believes (rightly or wrongly) that he has to keep Amy & Rory together so they'll get married.

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

SyFy to redo not just Being Human, but Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased).

Speaking of "Being Human", it's been nomiated for a TV Bafta, which is pretty amazing considering they usually overlook most genre TV:

It won't win. The Street always wins.

(Doctor Who is hardly ever nominated either, but its omission this time is not really surprising, as it wasn't actually on last year apart from the specials).

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I just started watching Torchwood (I'm at 1x08 at the moment).

OMG.

OMG.

OMFG.

AIFG.

Shir -- I liked the second series even better, FWIW.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Hey, I can't even think of not watching. If more than 36 hours go between eps, it's like going through rehab. My body is going all "need. Torchwood. Now".

On that note - that you, VOD contents supplier.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Torchwood is available on Netflix instant streaming. I might have to rewatch when I finish Archer. I can't help wondering where Torchwood is when Doctor Who is messing around on Earth this season. I wonder if they disappeared along with Amy's memories of Daleks.

Art Crawl!!!

No, it was in, like, the second episode.

That came to light in Episode 2.

edit: oh wait, no- it was the third episode with the Daleks. I wasn't counting "The 11th Hour".
