We don't know for sure. We do know that something happened before the stopwatch conversation, and they were comfortable enough to get right to it instead of hemming and hawing.
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.
Man, that was a heartbreaking episode of Torchwood and this is in spite of the very sucky BBCA feed that kept cutting out - for example - during Jonah's speech with his mum. (I am rerecording the 2 am airing. I hope that the feed improves.)
Just wrenching.
Doctor Who 4.1: I enjoyed that a lot. Loved the friendly little Adipose babies. The scene where the Doctor and Donna finally catch up with one another was a classic. And ROSE!!! I knew she was going to show up at some point, but I'm glad they got her in so early.
I'm now more optimistic that Donna isn't going to get on my nerves as much as I'd feared.
When does S4 start in the States?
Not soon enough, if you ask me. Tho' I gather it's getting advertised as showing soon-ish on SciFi, so I have hopes.
I'm now more optimistic that Donna isn't going to get on my nerves as much as I'd feared.
Yeah, she has her moments, but they don't seem any worse than some of Rose's more obnoxious moments .
Torchwood 2.13: well, that was sad. Good use of James Marsters though. Am I alone in thinking Owen might turn up again? I mean, he's already dead, who knows what the radiation actually did to him. He could be a nebulous conciousness bobbing about in Cardiff.
Mind you, it does mean that Torchwood now has a medical vacancy again. I wonder if Martha will be free after the coming series of Doctor Who.. .?
When does S4 start in the States?
April 18, IIRC
Fiona, in the Torchwood Declassified, Burn Gorman made a joke about how you don't actually see what happens to Owen, so maybe he escaped into the sewers and became King of the Weevils.
Dana, yes, I saw that. But I already had my suspicions beforehand!
Was he really in earnest when he told that guy to kill him? Gaius being self-sacrificial? Talk about OOC.
I found it intriguing. As if he's bought into his own hype, or maybe even the opposite. That he's having some sort of self-esteem downward spiral.
The pre-opening credit battle scene was one of the most spectacular this show's ever done. Fuck, that was awesome.
Things go boom!!
And despite my "WTF, show?" and vowing never to take this show serious after S3 finale, I found myself all revving up when the drums came in during the credits. Ahhh, the drums. I've missed you!
I KNOW. As I was watching the credits, I remembered that the drums were coming and got all excited. Also, shit, they're at 39K now? Remember the days when they were closer to 49K?
It looked to me like the Cylon Raider sent Anders a program, so I was surprised no one put forth that possibility, given their paranoia about EXACTLY THAT.
DW 4.01: That was fun! Those fat babies were adorable, and I agree that the eventual Doctor/Donna meeting was classic. I loved following along with their mouthed conversation, although Donna eventually lost me. And I'm also really pleased that they're deliberately going for a different vibe this year. I enjoy Donna's sort of snarky outlook at the Doctor's antics and adventures, even though she also retains a healthy sense of wonderment.
And Rose! The hell? A ghost! I didn't think she'd show up this early either, but that's certainly one way to hook people who hadn't already heard she'd be in this season.
