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.

The two-parter from the Eccleston season with the farting aliens--kids would love that one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That'd be a good one.

I was also thinking of "The Christmas Invasion", but with the Doctor MIA for more than half the episode, I worry they might get bored.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

If they're into scary, the angel episodes are good. They might be less enamored of The Girl in the Fireplace than more "pretty dresses" oriented kids, but it does have a horse. They may be the prefect demographic for Scottish Ninja Monks and Werewolves.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I watched the first three episodes of Doctor Who.

I like it, I think? My question is, are there recurring characters of any sort of are the Doctor and Rose the only constant fixtures? (I know the Doctor and the companion changes, I haven't been living under a rock or anything) It seems so far that it is completely random people every week. Which is fine, I guess? I'll definitely a few more episodes at the very least, it is certainly fun.

Rose's mom and boyfriend make appearances somewhat often. You'll see them again in what should be your next episode ("Aliens of London" and "World War Three").

I used to dislike them both, but they grew on me.

eta: Oh yeah, and Captain Jack. He's in five (I think) season one episodes (counting two-parters as two episodes).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Mmm, Captain Jack.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

There are also most defintely recurring baddies, or types of baddies, anyway.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Everytime I watch an episode of "Fringe" this season I hear Spike saying "Pacey you blind idiot" in my head, and I never even watched "Dawson's Creek".

I couldn't get to sleep last night so I watched this:

Matt Smith on The Late Show With Craig Ferguson

It was OK. I've decided Ferguson annoys me. Also, I've never seen Matt Smith out of character before - he looks like fun.

Apparently they did this elaborate song and dance involving Smith, the Dalek and other people/stuffed animals, but they were not allowed to broadcast it (copyright issues with the Dalek and BBC?) So they were all, "Maybe someone will post it on the internet nudge nudge wink wink."

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

can you explain it to me? I was left wondering that as well!

Sorry, Le Nubian, I was traveling much of yesterday.

The eldest daughter is called "Red" in honor of their greatest ancestor, Little Red Riding Hood. I guess the wolf in that story was actually a werewolf?
