DW E07: The way River acted when Rory came to recruit her -- her warmth towards him -- made me wonder if this was the first time in her timeline that she'd met him where she knew he was her father (I'm assuming that if she did kill him, she didn't know or believe who he was).

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.
Agh!
Dr Who Ep 7 again
I just remembered that at the beginning of the ep River was coming back to Stormcage after the Doctor taking her out for her Birthday. Duh!
So - are you talking about the mid-season finale?
I have no idea what number the BBCA episode was tonight.
Dan, when did the Doctor take her out for her birthday? Does that mean we didn't move backwards in her timeline as we've been doing up 'til now?
Sumi -- BBCA aired episode 6 tonight while BBC UK aired episode 7, the mid-season finale. We're talking about the latter. The former doesn't need white-fonting.
Jon,
River told Rory about her Date with the Doctor, including Stevie Wonder. "It's my birthday, the Doctor took me skating on the river Thames in 1814...."
I found the episode confusing. When did the Doctor realize that Amy wasn't Amy?
Does this mean he knew about the flesh all along?
And is this the same stuff that preserved Lady Cassandra's face?
Ahh, I misunderstood you, Dan. Thanks.
When River Song first said she had been put in prison for killing a good man, the mental image I had was of her killing the Doctor because he had ordered/begged her to stop him from doing (or becoming) something so dire, so important, that if killing him was the only way to stop him, then she would. She would kill him because she loves him, and because she loves him, understands why it has to be that way. It's a heart-breaking thing. But I certainly prefer it to thoughts of her killing Rory .
Yes, and don't forget that somebody in the astronaut suit - which was built for the little girl - DOES end up apparently really killing the Doctor.
I just watched Ep. 7 with a thunderstorm outside - very fitting!
