George Lucas is working on a Star Wars TV series that will suck. How do we know it will suck? Because he's writing it himself.
Shudder.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I would watch a show based on the Timothy Zahn Star Wars books.

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.
I would watch a show based on the Timothy Zahn Star Wars books.
I would, too. Especially if they would totally and utterly ignore the stupidity of saying that a potentially Force-strong baby could be warped by exposure to use of the Force while in utero.

All is well that ends in pizza.
On the Doctor Who form this week(season 6, ep 6):
Someone at mark Watches noted that The Doctor says to Ganger!Doctor that he may survive on a molecular level. And then G!D says just before he zaps Ganger!Jennifer "There still may be a way out of this."
Another theory is that G!D is downloaded into a Sonic and uploaded to the Library.
My response to the latter was Wait! That's it! Ganger Doctor's thought patterns are put into the library, and he spends 200 years there with River, and figures out how to get them out. Then he takes the place of the real doctor and sacrifices himself in Utah. Meanwhile the newly restored River ends up with the real Doctor for the rest of the series this fall.

The Doctor knew way too much about everything that was going to happen. How did he know exactly when and where to place the holo-phone call? And he knew enough to try and get rid of Amy and Rory beforehand. It's almost as if he'd done it all before....
Also, and I'm assuming they'd already switched shoes by that point, but he didn't seem at all phased by Amy telling him about his death .
Nice one, whoever called the shoes, by the way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ah, CW. Gotta keep loving your VD promo pics.
