Oh, bless the casting director.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

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.

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.)

“Not dead yet!”
It's what the Moff does.
Oh, does he ever.
Evil bastard. I would love to live in his brain for a while, except mine might explode.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The moment River talks about -- when the Doctor would meet her and wouldn't even recognize her -- we've had that already, didn't we, in the Library? We've already seen her end.
I love the poetry of the Doctor and River travelling through each other's lives backward, but... why does it only work like that, when they're both time travellers? I don't get it.

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

Yep.
God, I love those episodes.

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

Bad luck?
Loved their banter in this ep.
"Hippie."
"Archaeologist."

"I'm quite the screamer." [beat] "Now there's a spoiler for you."

What did Rory say? "I can kind of see you two together"?

I think it just works like that for them because that's the way it happens. Maybe it has something to do with the Doctor not crossing his own time line. Or maybe their relationship is a fixed point. Not sure, save to say that, for whatever reason, that's the way it happens.
