"BuffyBot" ,'Dirty Girls'
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.
Jon, I couldn't find the clip, dammit, but here is what Wikipedia says: In "Silence in the Library", while trying to open a wooden door, the Doctor tells Donna that the sonic screwdriver won't work because the door is made of wood .
eta: Clippityclipclip here.
Thanks, again!
bonny: Ha. I hadn't made that connection. Thanks!
Also, I really like the... character.
Meera Syal ! She's brilliant. And I agree, the character is really interesting.
I couldn't place the guy playing the Grandad; I was getting a really strong Torchwood vibe off him, but also a Ruth Jones association. Turn out he was in the Torchwood episode about the time rift, playing the adult version of Ruth Jones's son. Thank you brain .
My PVR cut out just before the end (stupid BBC messing about with timings again); I assume that the cliffhanger was Amy about to be cut open with the Doctor approaching... ?
Anyway, I enjoyed this episode - again. Come to think of it, during the RTD years there was inevitably at least one ep which made me want to throw things at the telly, but there hasn't been one yet this season .
And isn't Matt Smith brilliant with kids? I loved the meringue line and his whole exchange with Elliot. Maybe his next companion should be under the age of 12 .
Fiona, the cliffhanger was also the Doctor telling Nasreen that there were probably a dozen or so Silurians down there, but they reach an overhang and there's a whole CITY of them.
So they're NOT preempting next week's episode in the UK for Eurovision?
Not according to the BBC UK website: [link] (spoilers for US-scheduled watchers)
However, the US-ian broadcast IS being put off a week. I can only assume due to the long weekend.
If you go to this io9 page, you can see a deleted scene from a DW episode that's aired in the UK but not the US: [link]
I haven't watched it, as I'm on the US Who schedule.
eta: This is their "morning spoilers" page, so spoilers for other stuff too!
I'm subscribed to Doctor Who on iTunes. Is there a way to tell if I'm getting the US or UK cuts?
