Mal: Inara, think you could stoop to being on my arm? Inara: Will you wash it first?

'Heart Of Gold'


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.

Phew! Just hit record up at my sister's; I'd forgotten that it was on. New Who. Very exciting.

Every time I'm happy or excited about something, I want to (and sometimes do) say "...SOOOOOO much glitter!" from the Target commercial. I just love the way she says it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I agree with P-C's reaction to Doctor Who. Not sure if I like homicidal!Melody. And not sure if I buy Melody saving the Doctor at the end.

Anyway, have to rewatch.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Rory is so very my favorite.

I felt like Melody's characterization was all over the map. For as much as she spent her entire childhood with Amy and Rory, she didn't seem to actually have any feeling towards them, and then with the fairly abrupt change in this episode...Ok, I'm going to hand-wave with "regeneration personality shift".

Really, we're going forward with not assuming that everyone in the Universe knows who was in that space suit? Because I think they do.

There really must be something deeply bizarre going on with Amy and Rory's timeline if Mel regenerated as a toddler in New York (I just checked, it was "6 months later" at the end of Day of the Moon), and grew up with them. Either that, I suppose, or she stayed a kid for a decade or more before she met them.

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

That...was weird.
