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.
which episodes are a must to reel her in. new Who only, please!
The Eleventh Hour? I just love Amelia in that one.
I'm trying to reel someone in myself. I suggested she start with the first River episode:
Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead.
Blink
might be good if she likes timey-wimey mystery stuff.
she loves all kind of sci-fi stuff, Debet. so i really don't understand her reluctance!
she's intrigued by Blink(i've shown her youtube vids of the scary bits!) and she says she'll watch that ep. i need more good stuff after that to make her say she'll watch the whole thing.
Empty Child/Doctor Dances is a classic for a reason. Midnight has something of a similar feel, but it might not work if you don't know that character.
yeah! i want to expose her to all three of the Doctors too. these are great! keep 'em coming!
Wow, this is some wacky shit on Doctor Who, I tell you what. I'm only a bit through the episode, and already my brain hurts.
The Girl in the Fireplace
is a nice (and sad) timey-wimey story....
Vincent and the Doctor
is awesome (and won some sort of award for best portrayal of mental illness or something).
School Reunion.
Especially if she likes Anthony Head.
eta: Or robot dogs.
Yes, the River Song timeline makes my head hurt.
OTOH, Rory dealing with Hitler was funny.
I liked the episode, but I'm going to have to rewatch. Rory continues to be awesome. It is pretty cool to see the beginning of River, but I guess they can't really be done telling the story... assuming she is the astronaut, which I do.
Oh, I thought they did a great job of making the Doctor look really sick as he was dying, all pale and pasty. And Matt Smith was creeping me out a little with some of his movements - I mean, it was good but uncomfortable to watch, which made it good.
Loved the bit where Amy realizes why Rory never shows interest in girls. Heh.
