Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Thoughts on the new season of Dr Who:

- Since River had stomach pains in the first ep, and so did Amy, perhaps it's River+The Doctor's child, transplanted into Amy, as the Silents have more access to Amy.

- As for Rory falling out of the sky, I have this childhood scenario in my head: maybe some mean boys tossed his hat into a tree, he went up to get it and fell right in front of Amelia, maybe aged 10-12.

- There must be a Silent in my refrigerator, because I keep looking in there and forgetting what I saw.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I think the existence of Silents explains a lot about my life.

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

I was thinking the same thing. I think lately they've been telling me to stay home and watch TV.

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

Wow. I've discovered what will make me break up with The Event. It's "I'm so tough, hot, and tough" Sarah Blake (or whatever she's called--the gorgeous chick with the cheekbones) not taking the shot when Ritter Jr. told her to. Because she has feelings, as opposed to what she told them in their abortive heart to heart on the plane.

For some reason that's the really stupid thing the show did.

ita, but girls are weak and can't be trusted to do the tough things, don't you get that? Sheesh!

Lawrence Miles wrote a postscript to Day of the Moon:

"You actually said you should kill us all on sight? Into a mobile 'phone? Christ, why didn't you tell them to shag your sister while you were at it? It doesn't even make sense within the context of the dialogue, you twat!"

"Look, I'm sorry, all right? I was just... y'know... trying to sound hard. I wanted them to know we were going all the way with this. It's not like I meant to RUIN ALL OUR PLANS FOR WORLD CONQUEST."

"You're doing it again, Barry."

(Folks who generally like the show probably shouldn't browse around there much, but I thought this was funny enough to share.)

SJA ends with Lis Sladen. As is perfectly reasonable.

I'd have been appalled if it hadn't.

That should come up with #9, which is my fave. (It's Windows XP's default wallpaper, but now with extra added TARDIS.)

Not really offended by that site. DW is charming bullshit. If you are not charmed by it I can totally see making really rough fun of it.
