Closed Film and TV threads

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes, I think it is bad storytelling AND bad behavior (esp. with regard to Ianto's death; not speaking to his daughter first was beyond the pale as well).

I got the impression that it was more important (from a writing standpoint) to have Jack suffer as completely as possible than to have a narrative that is dark, but compelling.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Doctor Who, UK, not airing until next week on BBC America:

ETA:

That ending's gonna screw up so many children, everywhere.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oh, it really is.

I cannot believe given what they just. established. about the Gangers, that the Doctor disintegrated GangerAmy.

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

Doctor Who (new episode):

Oh, goody, another sci-fi pregnancy with a woman strapped to a table. Always good.

More Doctor Who Ep 6:

Tom Baker's voice was unexpected, too.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Can I just say that the Doctor's habit of referring to Rory as "Rory Pond" just tickles me.

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

Debet, neither could I, but the gangers they'd been dealing with were autonomous living creatures. Ganger!Amy was being controlled by Amy in a harness. It may also be for the sake of Amy and the baby, as labor could be difficult when your consciousness isn't fully in your body.

I feel sorry for everyone who has to wait a week for this episode and another for the next.

P-C, that is how I read the situation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I read that they're supposed to be showing both next week on BBCA. But I haven't checked the schedule.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Also, before everyone jumps to the wrong conclusion, remember that Amy first saw Eyepatch Woman in the orphanage, before she was captured by the Silents.
