I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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.

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

I think somewhere in old Who, the 13th regeneration was shown?

Actually, I think somewhere in old Who they said they'd only get to an 11th regeneration, and people were wondering how Moff would write his way out of that.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Wikipedia says:

It is first stated in The Deadly Assassin (1976) that a Time Lord can regenerate twelve times before dying (thirteen incarnations in all).

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The American accent will take a bit of getting used to, though

Why, then, was I thinking there was foofurrah about this being the last possible? Because of Ten's half-regen, and maybe something else?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Mark.

Morgan. Mark's dad. Who played the older version of Mark's character.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oh, bless the casting director.

Oh, that's great.

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

Morgan. Mark's dad. Who played the older version of Mark's character.

OK. It's that sort of touch that separates this show from the pretenders. (Kind of like casting Karen Gillian's cousin to play the younger her.)
