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.

You mean the rather rude ex-wife of the next door neighbor!

Ah-HA!! That makes MUCH more sense. Thank you.

Well, this Jack history is very interesting. The Doctor obsession is quite pronounced - I'm curious, cause I don't remember a reaction to it, if Jack was disappointed that it wasn't HIS Doctor.

He didn't seem to be. (Well, BBCA showed Utopia earlier tonight you know.)

And my BBCA feed is intermittently sucking. ARgh.

Oh Christ, poor Owen. Words I never thought I would say. He used to be a SNAG?

I have the Doctor now. 4.2. Had to hit pause to say...

"I am... Spartacus."

"And so am I."

Har !

OK, I really liked that up. I am kind of surprised by how upsetting it was toward the end there, which I'm fine with - upsetting is quite an understatement for what happened to Pompeii; I just wasn't really expecting it to be that visceral, I guess.

Also, this show really excels at making me care immediately about the guest stars. I was looking/feeling pretty much like Donna when she was in the TARDIS trying to convince him to go back.

I love the funny in this ep. Good god. Spartacus and Spartacus. The son also rises. Celtic. Love!

I think these two work great together. ETA: And I also love that she helped him push the lever. Didn't make him do it alone. ::sniff::

I know! I figured from his childhood that he wouldn't have had that sort of relationship but no - I think that was the most surprising thing. Well, possibly.

I loved that they had a backstory for the pteridactyl too.

And the scary little girl was the same scary little girl that we saw before too, right?

I somehow missed the scary little girl. Also not sure which SLG you mean from before.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

She was the little girl who told Jack where to find the Resurrection Glove in "Dead Man Walking."

OK, I do remember that now, because I remember thinking she was on loan from Wolfram & Hart, but I totally missed her tonight somehow.
