Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

'Serenity'


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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I wish this Doctor weren't Matt Smith. I wish I liked Matt Smith better.

Zen is me. And I want to add, that I am very disappointed in the writing so far. I might like Smith better if the episodes were better written.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I wasn't thrilled with him last season, but the two-parter this season I fell head over heels and kinda finally got him.

I love that 11 can laugh at himself. No longer is he The Oncoming Storm, but rather he keeps trying on new silly names and discarding them as rubbish.

(okay, okay, I'll be honest, I found him ridiculously hot when he was bearded and chained up).

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

Back when those episodes aired, I just couldn't get into 9, so I stopped watching. 11 was the first Doctor I fell in love with. Then when I went to get caught up on the first four seasons, and at this point I still love 11 but I love 10 just a little more.

I fell in love with 9 instantly. I was so incredibly resistant to 10, but it didn't take me long to fall in love with him (equally as much as I love 9). I honestly don't know why 11 isn't clicking with me.

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

I adore 11. He's so much less work than 10.

Someone mentioned somewhere else that this week's episode was written by the same guy who wrote the second Sherlock episode, "The Blind Banker." Which explains a lot.

“Not dead yet!”

I adore 11. He's so much less work than 10.

See, and I love 10 more for that very reason.

Although Matt Smith has grown on me. He brings his own unique spin to the role and I do buy the very old soul/spirit within the young body vibe to him.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I love 11 so much more than 10, who I could like but never really love after 9, who I adored.

Oh, forgot to mention my favorite moment of the last episode! When everyone was running for their loved ones and shouting their names, and 11 yelled "The Tardis!" and ran up and hugged the Tardis! So awesome!

All is well that ends in pizza.

The Tardis is his one true love.
