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.

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

That episode was pretty wonderful.

A) I'm going to have to stop being annoyed at the way this team whaps me over the head with things so I'll see them. THE SIGN IS FROM THE TARDIS AND IT FITS HERE RIGHT HERE AND IT IS SINGED!!!!!!! They're going to do this, I can just live with it.

B) Arguably, a sign can be ripped off a TARDIS minus the utter and complete destruction of said TARDIS.

Loved the whole "see you in a thousand years" thing. LOVED.

I can't figure out why they erased Rory! What possible reason could there be?

Art Crawl!!!

I know! Other than to make me very, very sad.

They're channelling Tim Minear?

Seriously - if this sticks (this being Who, I don't count a possibility it will be undone at some point - the fact that it related to the crack gives me a smidgen of hope), that's one of the worst fates of a quasi-companion I can remember.

My suspicion is that the erasure will be undone, but Rory will remain dead (since he was actually dead before being erased). Which of course would be the most painful outcome.

We sure Minear hasn't had a hand in this?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Apologies in advance: Alas, poor Rory, we hardly knew ye.

Lord, that was traumatic. What's he going to do with the ring? And curse you, Doctor, for not being a quicker draw on the sonic screwdriver.

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

DW UK:

I'm gonna have to quote Frank, on DW US: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

They killed erased Rory The universe! You bastards!!!

Seriously, they can not leave me like this. This ep was so sad and so beautiful and so wonderful, but they cannot do this, dammit!

Also. How come the fire from the torch in front of the Dalek's thing didn't disrupt its sensors?

So sad. I thought that when Amy will be dead the universe will go back to order, somehow.

Oh, man. I cannot wait till next week.

Who UK: it really was an absolutely stonking cliffhanger, probably the best yet. Hats off to Steven Moffat for playing on such a grand scale and pulling it off. I only hope the second part isn't a letdown... .

And the scene with the Doctor on the rock, shouting at the bad guys in the sky? Oh my. If Matt Smith hadn't already entirely won me over already by now, that would have been the point at which I capitulated .
