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.

But are we encountering the crack out of order? I'm beginning to think so: Prisoner Zero knew what it was, and whatever happens at the Pandorica is obviously significant. Does the Doctor somehow cause the crack? Does River Song kill him? Does the Doctor try to rewrite time? (Because, as we know, that likely leads to bad things. Bad things like two pieces of space and time touching that never should. Bad things like people not remembering Daleks or giant Cyberman robots rampaging in London. Except for the time travelers, naturally. So ... go easy out, Sarah Jane Smith and Jack Harkness!)

Been thinking about this a lot since reading Victor's post and thinking back to the episode. It's easy to assume that BadThings(TM) happen to people when they get too close to the crack, but I'm really starting to think that Amy passed through the crack in her wall at some point into a different reality, one where the Dalek attack never happened.

I may have missed previous posts in my skipping and skimming, but welcome "Barb's cabana boy". Or belated welcome, as the case might be.

Thanks, this is the first time I popped in over here. I've posted a few times in Gaming/tech/etc.

I'm really starting to think that Amy passed through the crack in her wall at some point into a different reality, one where the Dalek attack never happened.

Interesting. Would that mean the Doctor is lost in a different reality too, or more that the whole universe has changed?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hi, Misguided!

I'm not watching DW, and so every time I come here and skim past a post that's talking about what people did with the crack, I do a little mental double-take.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Smallville to end next season. FOR REALS? REALLY?

Hi, Misguided!

I totally meant to say that too, then I got distracted by the plot and the crack.

Smallville to end next season.

!

I'm glad they have plenty of warning, so they can make a detailed plan for resolving all of the intricately plotted mysteries.

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

Hi Misguided! I like your theory about the crack. I'm wondering if now, in the reality with the daleks in London, Amy never existed.
