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.

Ah right, P-C. Now that you mention it, that makes the most sense.

Art Crawl!!!

Damn. I can't believe I missed the Misha-Wingfield Sy Fy Classic. I hope that they repeat it.

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

Doctor Who UK: So much love for this episode! I think it was my favorite of the season, for several reasons: (1) Matt Smith, Matt Smith, Matt Smith; (2) I loved the love story. Totally cliche but very sweet and well-played; (3) Not much of Amy, whom I'm sad to realize I don't actually like very much. She's the first companion who's just bugged me. I don't know why.

So many good lines, but I think my favorite was (paraphrased -- anyone got the exact quote?): "I'm going to put you on hold now, I have to eat a biscuit."

Kate, I have to agree whole-heartedly with your assessment of Amy. I loved her in the beginning, but am finding the character uninteresting and the actress fairly limited . I'm not sure if it is the writing, but Amy's initially fun quirkiness has settled into a range of 2-3 facial expressions. I like her playfulness with the Doctor, but, except for her performance in the Angels episodes, I'm just not feeling her.

I might have to blame too much Confidential. The less I saw of her, the more I liked her. With the interviews and such, not so much .

I also loved the biscuit line...and the boss's reaction. The Doctor just can't help making people fall in love with him !

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Billie Piper and Matt Smith in a scene together:

Dude, if that's a Who thing I don't think its aired in the US.

Not even remotely connected to Who.

All is well that ends in pizza.

What Bonny said, and editing to mention it.

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

More DW UK: I think one of the reasons 11th is so likable is that he's fine with laughing at his own expanse. Well, that, and now that he's also a great cook. I may feel the sudden urge of writing love songs during classes soon, let me tell you that.

And in that Billie Piper and Matt Smith in a scene together: awww. He almost looks human there.

Who UK: Another moment I just loved from this week... during the headbutt of telepathy, when Craig starts to cotton on, the Doctor points at his own face and declares, "Eleventh."

I wanted to squee right out loud, Yes dear. Yes, you are and I for one and thrilled about it.
