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.
Hold on, about River: we know she did something wrong. We know the Evil-League-of-Evil-Alliance stopped the Doctor from destroying the universe, and that it had to do with the presumption that he and he alone can pilot the TARDIS (speaking of which: pilot as a verb is new to me). Maybe the thing she's paying on and the thing the Doctor can't know about because he'll never trust her again (or something like it) is her destroying (somehow) the universe/TARDIS/killing Amy/whatever.
And I never did understand how her timeline works, anyhow. She knows some things before she's supposed to know them - mostly in this ep.
DW UK:
Oh, the
duck pond without any ducks is totally significant. As is the fact that we've never seen Amy's aunt.
Nora, the Doctor specifically made reference to that in the Angels episode, so I'd agree that it's important. And Tom, that's very cool about the
cars!!
If, in fact,
Leadworth is actually in the nineties, that would explain why Amy doesn't "remember" the Daleks. Because it hadn't happened yet.
In the vein of
odd timey wimey stuff - Rory's desire for a mullet would be explained by him being from the 90's. That doesn't explain how there's 2010 technology in the same timeline though.
I heart the duck pond without any ducks theory.
And yes, now I totally believe that Amy is living out of her time.
If so: Moffat - good job, man.
All this whitefont is killing me! How far behind the UK is the US?
Shir, is it that
she's living out of her time I wonder? If we take as read that the first episode/Rory is the 90's, why do they look the same 'two years' later when it's her wedding day in 2010? Is her whole village then 'out of time' as the doctor said in the dream world?
Hmmmm interesting.
Jars - maybe. Could be. Can't wait to find out!
I wonder if Tennant/Rusty commented about series 5 yet.
Kathy, I think you guys are three behind. There's the one with X, and the one where the Doctor Y, and then this latest one.
In response to the UK Who discussion: I thought something could be up when the DW production company started swearing blind that Rory's badge was a production mistake. I'd like to hope that isn't the kind of mistake they'd make on DW. On the other hand, finales are never what I've built them up to be, so I'm fully prepared for that to be a let-down with a numerical error. The ducks, though - that's a nice enough riddle to be going somewhere. Among others I hope we've missed - I want Moffat to bring out some surprises. The cameos of all the past characters might come in handy, too, if we're talking temporal paradoxes.
Shir, re your comment about the Doctor being a Pandora's Box himself: I hadn't thought of it quite like that, but that's interesting. And yes, I think the evil alliance's serious mistake in assuming that because it's only the Doctor who can *pilot* the TARDIS, no one else can *crash* it, is going to be important. I'm waiting for a cause-and-effect paradox of truly Whovian proportions. As signalled by the charred fragment of the TARDIS.
