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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The person in the space suit was clearly a little girl

The person in the space suit in Florida was clearly a little girl (Melody). The person in the space suit at Lake Silencio, we never saw.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Also, if the Doctor couldn't survive by regenerating(which was explicitly stated), likely River couldn't either.

Would Divine discussion belong here?

At 10 EST tonight a new web series begins. Stars (co-stars?) Misha Collins. Sounds like there's supernatural elements.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Wow. I don't quite know how I feel about that episode of Doctor Who. A whole lot of WTF moments, but not much that adds up to real character development or forwarding of the plot. I did kind of like that they just left Hitler in a closet.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think it might have been that the writers wanted to get off of the Melody-River plotline, so they needed to wrap this section of that up in one episode (Find Melody! Oh, we did. And now she's grown up and needs her space...'kay...). That way, they can go have other adventures.

That they put themselves there in the first place is a whole other thing.

I also have deeply mixed feelings about the choices they made around the inter-racial regeneration.

Why did Melody decide that she needed to start wearing jumpers in her new fab body? I thought that was a sweater?

They accentuate the bustline.

I liked that they showed that inter-racial regeneration is possible. I'd love to see Chiwetel Ejiofor as The Doctor.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
