Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

OK, Ace is pretty cool. Aside from the umbrella I don't much care for that doctor.

I guess this episode didn't really showcase the badassery. When I think of badass Doctors I think nine.

Oh, Seven could bring the badass, you just didn't expect it. "Memory of the Daleks" and the Cybermen one with the neo-Nazis. I think a lot of the badassness, though, was his willingness to turn Ace loose on stuff. "No, really, I'm quite reasonable, have you met my pyromaniacal friend?"

My favorite lines ever are Seven pinning Ace with a look and saying, "You wouldn't have been so mad as to make more Nitro-9 after I expressly forbid you to, would you?"

Ace, grinning: "What if I had?"

"Do you have any with you?"

Maybe my mistake was jumping in the middle but Netflix only has two 7 episodes on instant streaming.

Yeah, and they don't have "Happiness Patrol."

One of these years I'm going to watch the entire series from the very beginning.

Now I'm watching Life of Mars. What accent does John Simm have?

I would believe this Chad Taylor guy on The Gates about not being guilty of murder if he weren't being played by the Brian Krakow actor.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've seen two things in a row where he wasn't the bad guy. But I still can't let it go.

the show is set in Manchester. so i'm guessing that. i found some of the accents on that show hard to understand at times, but i still adore it. especially Sam.
