'Life of the Party'
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.
I can see that Anne.
I'm wondering is it that someone is building the destruction of the Tardis through Amy's life, or if it's going to be another Bad Wolf type thing where either she or the Doctor have built her being able to stop the destruction throughout her history, and she'll pull all the threads together at the end.
If that makes any sense.
US Who: Did they ever explain what was happening to the missing bodies in the cemetery? Was the lizard scientist guy experimenting on them?
DW UK - oh, and about the "life doesn't make sense" - well, as Nilly puts it, "welcome to the human kind" is what I'll reply. Our lives often doesn't make sense, and we roll with it. Stop being such an alien. (yeah, I know he's probably onto something. I still wanted to punch him after that sentence, the rational alien mama boy he is. You won't tell me I don't make sense - I will go and investigate it myself with the social science degree I'm getting right now, AIFG.)
Ahm. You can't tell I'm having a test tomorrow, can you?
Oh, and also: bringing the end of the world via the Doctor's companion? Brilliant.
Also, I thought I read that Dr. Who ratings in the US are up this season. But this io9 review says the ratings are down in the UK:
Doctor Who is at its best when it's nasty
Who UK:
Well, then. Quite a pickle. I just have not enough time or the words to express my love for Rory. I haven't developed much feeling for Amy, but I like her more when he's looking at her and when she's looking at him. (I don't dislike the character, just... kinda eh.) Oh, and when the Doctor said to Rory, "You're going to have to be very brave," just as Amy walked in after waking up and didn't recognize Rory. Plotz. And he was, of course, very brave. And the scene where he kills her, and the look in her eyes, too - the utter shock and surprise that "Rory" didn't win the struggle. Oh, my romantic soul, the tragedy.
Eleven is awesome. He really just is. The way he can toss around a line - funny, moving, touching, scary. Good freaking actor, that boy.
And, finally: Dude, where's my universe?
Who UK: Maybe it was all the Indian Jones' references, but this was the first Moffat episode this series that I really, truly loved.
I haven't really liked Eleven all series. There were some episodes, like "Amy's Choice" when I thought Matt Smith gave a very good performance, but I still didn't like his Doctor. Until now - that scene when he first heard the 12000 Dalek ships and paused, so scared and tired before he sprang into action. And then the big speech which begins with loud static and "Sorry, sorry - dropped it." Just genius.
I'm really happy about this because until "Vincent & the Doctor" I was ready to give up on Moffat's DW - but the past three episodes have been FANTASTIC.
How could they do that to Rory? I hope those who think he's not gone forever are right.
Who UK: The moment when 11 says, "Now, you will have to be very brave," to Rory was another of those ever so quiet, amazingly effective, throw away lines. I'm guessing that is Matt's contribution to the character. Love.
Saw ad for "DinoCroc vs. SuperGator" Can this beat Mansquito for epitome of SyFy cheesie cheapies?
Why do you think that's Matt's contribution to the character, bonny? Does the Confidential say so?
