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 also have a suspicion that there is some connection between the two that will be revealed next season, but that's more a gut feeling than anything else.
I have an out-there theory that River may be Rory and Amy's daughter, and that's how River knew that the Doctor would figure out who she was not too long after the wedding.
If Amy Pond is the Doctor's Mother in Law that's sort of epic.
I have extreme love for that Amy-as-River's-mother theory. Although I still think that Jack is going to play a role in River's story.
They'd better have a good payoff for these 'complicated' hints, whatever it is.
Nice observation by the AV Club:
This year has been about Amy reuniting with a magic-seeming man who filled her childhood with wonder and mystery, a man nobody else remembered. Isn’t that really the story of the Russell T. Davies and now Stephen Moffat versions of the Doctor? Sure, Doctor Who never lost its cult entirely, but the show’s following diminished greatly over the years. It took those who remembered it, and believed in it, to bring it back. And here we all are.
Someone over at another board pointed out one of my favorite little bits from this ep--when the Doctor called Rory "Mr. Pond."
"No, that's not how it works here."
"Yes, it is."
"Yeah, it is."
Hee.
Did anyone else watch Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss's "Sherlock" on BBC1 last night? It was extremely Who-ish. Intelligent yet socially awkward genius with loyal, more human companion, fighting the forces of evil. And so on. I quite enjoyed it, though.
I was a bit perturbed at the idea of a 21st-century Holmes. Since it was Moffat, though, I might give it a go. (Was he at least an addict of some kind?)
