Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Right now I want there to be significance to the fact that the universe ends on Amy's wedding day. Because currently, the TARDIS was drawn to that date BECAUSE it was an important date for it to, you know, explode the Time Vortex or whatever. But why that date? What brought it there? I don't want a causality loop. (I mean, I am okay with causality loops sometimes, but there's been so much ominousness about this particular date that I want it to mean something, not just be a coincidental point on a loop.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

le nubian, I watched The Gates ... I'm wondering if it's going to last more than a few episodes.

I'm with Todd on the Gates.

I'm SURE it's been said before but Desperate Vampires, really? With a little 9021blood.

I did not like.

Which, given my vampire thing is a statement.

All is well that ends in pizza.

UK Who:

me: I just hope that the Doctor doesn't wake up in bed with Suzanne Pleshette.

Andi: or coming out of the shower.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm not usually much for fan vids, but this might be the best thing ever: Star Trek: Tik Tok

It's confirmed, Jon. That is without questions, the best thing ever. Every frame. Dude. Perfection.

I don't know if a Facebook fan page counts as being on a "short list", Tom. It *would* be awesome, though!
