Wait, what was scarring about Water's Edge ?
I know I saw it, but I don't recall being scarred. Of course, maybe that's WHY I don't recall...
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
As per request, a link to the UK discussion of the Who that just aired in the US.
Thanks - I finally watched the episode last night so I was just about to look for the UK Who stuff.
So what was the deal with the Doctor letting the kid go back and get his headphones? Just a mistake? or does it have more significance?

It seemed jarringly wrong at the time...especially with the other character's reactions, tommyrot. BUT, there have been plenty of 'oopsies', I should have been paying more attention, incidents in Who history, so who knows?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
ZK, I only retain one memory of Water's Edge, NF standing in a stony brook crying. I just have this memory that it was just so painful and embarassing. The plot, the acting, the dialogue.

I just realized, that it would've been cool if they'd actually filmed on the eastern seaboard and used America's Stonehenge in Salem, New Hampshire, instead of a random field in "Maine".

Apparently, Stonehenge Apocalypse was a hit.
How does that compare to the average SciFi movie? Though I am thrilled that Misha shouting "It was a robot head!" repeatedly could out-draw Stargate Universe by half again.

I think that it's just the Doctor's typical absent mindedness. Any other adult would have said "no, stay here, the headphones aren't important" and the kid would have whined. The Doctor just didn't process it.

Came to an interesting realization yesterday.
I've been rewatching the Who reboot from Chris forward and reveling in how much I love the show. BUT, if you had asked me which of the series I liked least before the rewatch, I'd have said Martha's year.
Donna is far and away my favorite companion and, I was okay with the romantic elements of Rosetor. Turns out, though, my favorite stories were the ones Martha is in! Somehow, the writing, and even the photography for those episodes was more engaging and more consistently 'watch every minute' for me.
I'm just now into season 4 ep 2...Pompeii...and am feeling skippity.
Surprise!

Martha's year had that fantastic run of stories, from Human Nature through Blink to Utopia, which I think was one of the best ever.
Today's Who UK: oh, that was gooooood .
Not surprised to see Rory again. The cameos at the beginning were also lots of fun. But the Pandorica being to put the Doctor *in*? Genius .
