Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

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.

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

"The only water in the forest is the river"

I'm assuming that this has something to do with River Song, but I have no idea what.

I was really hoping that the Doctor would ask the Tardis to explain the pregnant/not pregnant thing while she could talk. But I guess that would have been too easy.

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 liked how the TARDIS chose the Doctor, and "stole" him, just like how he stole the TARDIS.

“Not dead yet!”

"What, did you wish really hard?"

"Shut up, not like that."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I adored that line, Barb. The other one I loved was:

"Biting's excellent! It's like kissing, only there's a winner."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, that was lovely.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

TARDIS lady was definitely the best part about this episode. I loved the actress -- she did a great job being earnest and amazed and strange and perfectly comfortable with the Doctor.

"The only water in the forest is the river"

I'm assuming that this has something to do with River Song, but I have no idea what.

Yeah, me too, on both counts. Makes me think there must be some connection to Amy Pond as well -- she can't be in the "forest," whatever that means.

Neil Gaiman says, "Here, let me pour buckets of untold stories and potential fic over your head. Oh, and mind if I break your heart while I'm at it?"

Bizarrely, one of them is UK-only and the other isn't.

Either that or they forgot to make them all UK-only, then changed it WHILE I WAS WATCHING.
