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.

The status is NOT quo.

Huh. I wasn't the least bit surprised by the reveal this week, for some reason. I was surprised by the previous episode, though, with Flesh!Amy.

Also (and I will whitefont this because I think it was an unintentional spoiler if you watched Doctor Who in America--don't read if you don't want the secret of who shot the Doctor revealed), River is definitely the one who kills the Doctor in the suit. Matt Smith talked about how Alex Kingston was off camera while he was acting against her in an unspecified scene but giving him so much to work with, and it was clear from the shot they showed that it was the moment before the astronaut shoots him. Tears were running down her face etc. I hate being spoiled, so I was REALLY annoyed that they gave that away. But I love the idea of that being Flesh!Doctor rather than real Doctor.

In The Impossible Astronaut right after they confirm The Doctor is dead, Amy says "Maybe he's a clone or a duplicate or something." If he was a FleshDoctor, wouldn't he have turned back into soupy stuff?

Well, hadn't we all predicted that River was Amy and Rory's daughter?

So, that was not a surprise.

I think Rory should always wear armor and a cape, it's a good look for him.

Sumi, probably not. I don't follow Boxed Set usually since I'm always behind in one of the shows, but I had to pop in after this ep.

So, you don't think Roman Centurion is a good look for Rory?

Oh of course I do!
