Drusilla ,'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.

Okay, that was just great fun from beginning to end, with a really spine-chilling horror sequence in the middle.

That said, I guess they blew the budget on the control rooms and the House sets, because that can not be what the TARDIS' corridors look like. Seriously? My inner Hardison is not buying it.

Barb, I'd seen that comparison before I watched the episode.....I think it was in someone's spoiler-free review.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Has this picture of David Tennant been posted?

Wow.

“Not dead yet!”

Also, Amy said, "Did you wish really hard?".

I knew I didn't have it quite right-- was just too lazy to go back and double check. Thanks for the correction.

I just rewatched "Day of the Moon." So, in the history of Who, has there ever been a creature who regenerated like a TIme Lord but wasn't a Time Lord?

Well, a Tardis moving to a human host or back again has a similar wavy-liney-energy thing going on, by the looks of it.

So now I'm wondering if they've introduced the idea of a human Tardis in order to pick it up again later in the series (similar to what they did with a humanized Time-Lord in Human Nature and Utopia in Series 3).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So Doctor/TARDIS is finally superultimate canon!

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

And we got confirmation that at least some Time Lords change sex from regeneration to regeneration!

She's already played the Doctor, so she would have (brief) experience in the role.

I just finished watching it--loved it to pieces!! Even before I realized who the woman was, I thought she was terrific. I even liked how Gaiman wrote Uncle and Auntie--very creepy.

I just adored everything with TARDIS Idris and Eleven.

All the running in the TARDIS corridors was a nice shoutout to Classic Who (when they did that all the time). And the older Rory was excellent--Arthur Darvill really nailed that bit.
