Grrrrr, we're having bad weather here and the satellite keeps cutting out!

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.
My DVR decided not to record Dr Who tonight and I didn't realize until 20 after. wah!
They reshow it here at 11:00. Maybe you can rerecord it then.
ah! Of course. I have rescheduled it. Thanks, quester.
You're welcome! I'm hoping the weather has passed by then so I can see it, too!
Fun episode. LOVED Toby Jones.
"My jokes are WASTED on you."
Also, touching about what it finally said about Amy and Rory. I'm SO glad Rory knew exactly what it meant that Amy wasn't sure. That boy has more of a clue than he lets on at first glance.
Dr Who UK:
I want to make a music video with the episode and Don McLean's song Vincent.
Can you tell when you're dreaming? All I have to do is try to dial a phone.
UK Doctor Who: I thought that was WONDERFUL. Possibly my favourite of the season (thanks to the fantastic Richard Curtis). And I don't usually like the historical episodes. How good were some of those lines?! "It's a thing; it's like a plan, but with more greatness." "Is this how time normally passes? Reeeeally slowly, in the right order?" "Overconfidence, this, and a small screwdriver. I'm absolutely sorted." Matt Smith is now just so completely the Doctor, for me. And I loved the references to Amy and Vincent's shared gingerness and potential ginger children.
Also, very sad and touching, for such a funny episode. They did the switch from 'evil monster' to 'lonely monster' so, so well. As with the inevitability of Van Gogh's suicide despite Amy and the Doctor bringing some light into his life. Beautifully done.
Daniel, DO it! I love that idea.
Seska, those were, indeed awesome lines. Which brings up one of the things I like best about 11. So much of his greatness is expressed in virtually thrown away lines. If you aren't listening closely, they'll whiz right past you, whereas with 10...my previous favorite...the "I'm the STUFF" stuff was so much less subtle .
