WHat no BBC America viewer reaction to "The Lodger"?
Cable is being wonky. I'm hoping to get it at a later airing.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

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.

Link to discussion of the UK airing of tonight's episode: Seska (the Watcher-in-Training) "Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon" Jun 13, 2010 12:14:54 am PDT
That was great fun. I didn't get the 11 on the jersey until I read the comments here, DOH. And the timing of football-playing doctor still works well with World Cup events!
I am sad that I did not see the Eureka premiere, because the stupid Space network in Canada didn't show, and there is no info on the website about when they're going to start airing this season. Wankers. I now have to skim my way through the thread trying to not read Eureka while looking for the Doctor. Annoying.

Finally watching Eureka. Jack and Henry when they first meet on the base, talking about solar flares and the break-up with Tess. "That wasn't very supportive." The look on his face... aw, noodle!
"...that terrifying woman." Ha!
Hee, I loved when Trevor adjusted the brim of the hat on Jack's head.
And, yeah, Colin could do a 40s era detective show or something, and that'd be... just fine.
Callis was looking pretty fine, I must say.
Loved the episode, yay! I'm so glad Eureka is back.

Got distracted by a Robert Klein standup special I had DVR'd afterwards (he still can't stop his leg, in case you were wondering), but I liked it. Enjoyable episode, but I don't have much to say about it.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Andi and I thought of Spaced.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Cable came back in time for the midnight showing. Excellent episode ... bizarre and offbeat, but charming. And again, the alien menace isn't so much an evil threat as misplaced and dangerous by its presence.
There's been an ongoing theme this season of the danger of aliens among us, and the danger to aliens from misplaced human fear and aggression. The space whale, the reptile people, the invisible thing in Vincent Van Gogh's time. Even the Doctor himself, as poor Rorey pointed out.
It's not that these things aren't dangerous, but they're not really evil. Not like the Daleks, which are, by comparison, almost cartoons. And painted up thusly in fashion colors.
This season reveals itself as more and more brilliant with each episode.

Oh, nice. That hadn't occurred to me, but as soon as you said it, I got what you meant.

Victor, we stayed up and caught the midnight showing too. Was that head banging thing new or part of the Whoverse?

Head banging was new, but Ten started "leaking" info in a mind meld with The Madame de Pompadour...
