I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'


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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I do hope we get that first/last meeting.

The title "Silence in the Library" seems like there should be a reference to the Silence somewhere in it, now, though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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.

The two sides also have different fringe sciences named in the text of the opening credits.

I wonder, if the 'verses blend together, whether we'll get purplish credits.

For Entrada they alternated between red and blue. Purple would make sense for a merge though.

Wait a second.

Amy sees a Silent at the start of "The Impossible Astronaut." It's a pretty safe bet she's seen the Armstrong clip at some point, but she doesn't react and doesn't have the urge to kill. So has the Doctor already changed history from 1969 onward?

I'd argue that he has not already changed history at that point, it is only after moon landing happens in the Doctor's timeline that everything changes. Except that future dead doctor is already remembering that more went on in 1969 than "anyone remembers". (From memory, but the sense is right even if the word are not.) I think concentrating too hard on trying to make sense of time travel just produces headaches. Captain Logic is not driving this Tardis.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

It's a pretty safe bet she's seen the Armstrong clip at some point, but she doesn't react and doesn't have the urge to kill.

Is she armed at that time with anything that she could use to kill one? How would that affect her urge? Incidentally, would places where personal weaponry is more frowned upon than here still be mostly infested/occupied? Or are we somehow to assume that Silence HQ is here in the U.S. so once their hold breaks here, it's only a matter of time before they are in full retreat from the whole planet?

and want to hug it and pet it and call it George. Or at least use it as a tag-line. May I, Typo Boy?

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

A Detailed Chart of River Song and the Doctor’s Time-crossed Relationship

Confused by how River Song's timeline interacts with the Doctor's? Someone has made a handy infographic showing one possible way that all of the events in their lives could match up, based on what we know so far.

We don't know who made this infographic — the image has been getting tweeted, without any link to the person who made it. If you know who created this awesome time-map, please let us know!

The page asserts it is likely the "Picnic at Asgard" (The second-last time River saw the Doctor, and when he gave her his sonic screwdriver that we saw in "Silence in the Library") happened with the Tenth doctor, maybe during his "goodbye tour". Not sure I buy that.

Eta: But that would be consistent with the Doctor's and River's timelines always moving in opposite directions.
