Fred ,'Smile Time'
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.
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?
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".
Thank you, Laga!
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.
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?
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 .
Who UK: Okay, that was good...but the only thing that lets me say that is the fact that there is one more episode. Otherwise, I'd have gone all foot-stompy.
Now, I was excited to see Rory, but then bummed that he's a plastic man. Still, cool callback to vintage new Who . Although, I will say again that the wrappy-uppy nature of so many characters in this series makes me worry for the future. Once you've had ALL the baddies band together, where do you go from there ? I was sort of expecting Rose to trundle across the back of the set at some point.
I do totally agree that having the Pandorica be for the Doctor was genius. But, did anyone else twig to that at the beginning of the episode? His speechifying, though I love it so, was SO much like his "Do you know what you should never put in a box?" monologue from earlier in the season, that the parallel couldn't very well be missed.
Are we, then, supposed to assume that River blew the Tardis up on purpose? She's somehow realizing the evil deed her warden priest described? The "I'm sorry," could have been for poor navigation...which could still get her in trouble, or it could have been for doing something to create the crack in time . Can't quite sort it.
US Who: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
They killed erased Rory! You bastards!!!
