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.
Okay, I just watched the aired preview for next week.
I think this 15 years in the future thing is Peter's experience while he is in the machine (aided by an Observer maybe?). He's seeing a possible future (of merged universes?). Presumably that will lead to him making some kind of choice about what the machine does.
I really hope we end up with both red and blue. Losing the blue side is so very much not an option (there could be riots!) and Fauxlivia can't die in lockup. So says I.
Whatever happens, I don't see them aging the stars of the show for the entirety of season 4.
I'm with you, aurelia! After I saw the promo for next week, I have to revise my theory.
I'm still confused as to why Peter was so confused when he woke up.
Peter being confused does square with the idea that he was temporarily in the persona of a Peter from a universe that was never split.
I didn't notice the wedding band in the future segment. They did a good job of aging the actor just enough -- a little can do a lot.
(I get confused -- why are the 'verses color coded, and which is which?)
I thought Amy and Canton had a nice Mulder and Scully vibe in the nursing home. Possibly it was just the effect of Amy's red hair and dark pantsuit.
I'm seriously hoping that the hero of Canton is a recurring guest star --beyond being instructed to bring a can of gasoline when he's 80. I'm still seriously impressed that Mark was given such a wonderful role where he isn't a sleazy but likable villain. Love love love that the issues with his wanting to be married was both interracial
and
gay. Nipped that argument right in the bud!
But, seriously looking forward to seeing more of his character later in the season.
The rest was fantastic but makes my head hurt to think about. Except for where I adore how the angst between Rory and Amy was also nipped in the bud. God, his face when she called it stupid, so wonderful.
(I get confused -- why are the 'verses color coded, and which is which?)
Blue is the original 'verse we got to know. Red is the "other" universe with Walternate and red haired Fauxlivia, and is the one where Peter was born.
Yes, I was thinking that too, but is it Rory's child? TCG wants to know if the Tardis could have impregnated her. It is supposed to be alive, right?
I have a couple competing, or possibly complementary, thoughts as to how Amy Pond's offspring could have the ability to regenerate, Time-Lord style. One is that the TARDIS, perhaps while merged with Rose as Bad Wolf, directly played slice-and-dice with the DNA of the little fry as she was growing in the womb. Another is that somehow Amy's and/or Rory's exposure to the Time Vortex or other Timey-Wimey things during relevant stages of development did precisely what Amy feared, producing a child with a "time head", i.e. some as yet unspecified effects that lead to certain traits that we are accustomed to only Time Lords possessing. As it has been established from of old that simply being born on Gallifrey, of native Gallifreyan stock, does not make one a Time Lord, but rather intensive training, including exposure to some Timey-Wimey things from an early age is necessary to do the job, it seems possible that some Time Lord traits could be passed on to a child of any stock, given appropriate exposure and training (and heaven Moffat only knows what all happened to that kid while in the suit).
However, the idea that Amy is the offspring of River and the Doctor, hence Amy's child having the third, or parts thereof, strand of DNA and subsequent regenerative abilities, is a bit more elegant than what I have proposed.

They are color coded based on the opening credits. Normally, the credits are blue. Whenever an episode takes place Over There, the credits are red.

Interesting! I had read the idea that River is the offspring of Amy and Rory but not that Amy is the offspring of River and the Doctor.
Wow, P-C, that one went right over my head, despite having watched the show. Though thru the Magic of Tivo™, I probably just skipped right over them.
I wonder, if the 'verses blend together, whether we'll get purplish credits.
