That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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.

I LOVED the tenth Doctor - and it took me almost all of last season before I loved 11, but somehow suddenly in The Pandorica Opens, he finally became The Doctor for me.

I do think, though, that generally he's not given the kind of scripts that DT or CE got. When he's given something meaty like "Amy's Choice" or sweet and funny like "The Lodger" he knocks it out of the park.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The Rory death scene was ridiculous.

That trope of

theCPRsnotworking!-theCPRsnotworking!-theCPRsnotworking!-theCPRsnotworking! ...Looooooong Pause... OhwaitItworked!

really bugs me.

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

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

Okay, Series One is in my queue. It'll be a while before I get to it, but it's there.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I love 9, I love 10 and I love 11 - but differently. I really don't hate any of them.

The way I see it, it's not Tennant's fault that he made the character into the most attractive drama queen of a Doctor.

Shir is me. (This is not news.)

I enjoyed the pirates episode. I like fun ones that distract from the big complicated arc a bit. What are our theories on Woman With Eye Patch who appears as if from nowhere?

I am having the most fun with a tumblr blog by a big big Who fan [link] who links to the most brilliant stuff. My favourites are the crossovers [link] and the comedy cartoons [link] [link] [link] .

Well, if Amy is both pregnant and not pregnant, I'd say that Amy is also both dreaming and not dreaming. Probably has to do with colliding parallel worlds or something.

Wait, didn't we have that episode, with pregnant and dreaming Amy who have to choose between realities?

Edit: wow, excellent tumbler, Seska! Thanks for sharing.

Maybe she's... still dreaming!

I'll get me coat

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I just want to note the last episode of SGU last night, since evidently I'm the only one still watching. I like that they went out without returning the crew to earth, on a hopeful note, being brave and letting Eli take the risk. And I do wish we get to find out what happens next. SIGH

What are our theories on Woman With Eye Patch who appears as if from nowhere?

I thought she was an artifact of the Silence at first, and have not developed a theory to account for her. The little sliding door is pretty ominous.
