Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It was Jack's idiotic "If I act all cool, the 456 will just piss itself and fly away" plan that prompted the aliens to stop Ianto's heart. And, you know, hundreds of other hearts.

True enough, though I'd argue this is no lamer than any usual Jack plan.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Awesome Doctor Who fan art: [link]

Also, RE: last weekend's UK ep: I got all verklempt at the end, but I could have done without the pop song. And am I the only one who got all nervous every time they returned to the museum, thinking that the Van Goghs would be erased from (or ignored by) history?

Compassionately intolerant

That IS awesome art Jon. I love the minimalist detail of it.

I experienced your whitefont too, but hoped it would not be the case because it would have put WAY too fine a point on what is coming next. But still, yeah, me too.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Jon B: I didn't think there'd be any new/missing paintings. They've been too much about the inevitability of events recently (paradoxically, despite the erasing of others). But I was glad to see they didn't mess with anything historical.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You know what'd be awesome? If after a Dr. Who episode airs in the US, if someone would post a link back to the beginning of the UK Who discussion for that episode....

Perhaps I'll start doing that. (Although others are welcome to do this as well.)

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

Me too, Jon.

I'll post my opinion on it tomorrow.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

tommyrot, I was just thinking that I would love that. It's frustrating b/c I don't know how far back to go without getting spoiled, so I just don't go back, but it seems like most of the discussion happens after the UK airing.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, that would be great, tom. I partially spoil myself all the time because I have greyfont instead of whitefont, but I really badly did this week because I went back to the wrong episode. And didn`t figure it out until I read quite a bit. Oops.
 
In shallow news, I resent Rory having to symbolically cut off his ponytail. There is nothing wrong with a village doctor with a ponytail in a quiet life. Hmph. I got irritated with the Doctor `cause he couldn`t see the value in it. Disrespectful. Also I dislike hitting old people. I don`t like that there was no investigation into whether the hosts were redeemable or not.

Liese, he had a mullet. There is no justification.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Hubs asked me a question last night, and I know this is the thread where I can find an answer.

Has V been canceled?

I vaguely remember some discussion upthread, but I'm too lazy to look for it and not willing to do a search and go through every post containing the letter "v."
