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.
I totally called Dana's whitefont before I rushed to imdb for the answer. I have an uncanny
skill with voices. I immediately recognized Walliams vocal inflections because I have never seen him do anything but broad sketch comedy.
It was interesting/nice to
see him actually act.
I have to say that I enjoyed this episode the most of any of second Smith series, if not the entirety of the Smith reign.
I just wish we
could get more of Rita. I loved that character and thought she would be a much better companion.
The preview gave me a little thrill.
Dave! And Cybermen!
Excellent.
I watched Doctor Who tonight, and I have to ask -
are they really gone? Did he really do the wise adult thing and let them go?
Why is everybody whitefonting a US airing?
And to Zenkitty's last question - I'm guessing it's not going to take, particularly because they still need to resolve the whole "who shot the Doctor" from the first episode.
I don't think they're gone for good, unless the BBC is OK with lying about who has signed on for certain seasons. But I guess that would be excellently evil of them.
CRAIG! I was so excited when I saw him in the preview. "The Lodger" is such a fun episode.
Why is everybody whitefonting a US airing?
Scared. Better safe than sorry.
Craig, not Dave. Where did I get Dave?
Anyway, I'm excited to see what they come up with for him.
I just
knew
that when they set Rita up as a potential companion and made me like her that they were going to kill her off. Bastards. A Muslim companion would have been cool.
I ronically, the thing most needing whitefonting in the past page is the
news that they're signed for next season.
Board rules are a little confusing on that front, I think.
I just knew that when they set Rita up as a potential companion and made me like her that they were going to kill her off.
It was so obvious to me that she was never going to go with the Doctor, that I never considered her more than "good material" for a companion. I
had
rather hoped that she would be one of those, "thanks awfully, but I want to stay with my regular life" [for some reason that is quite fulfilling and really means that she is more stable and whole than, say, Donna or Rose] potential companions, rather than a dead one.
I liked it quite a bit, but the emotional continuity from "The Girl Who Waited" is terrible, especially considering Amy's speech about the faith she has in the Doctor.
Sufficiently terrible, in fact, that I'm arbitrarily declaring that "The Girl Who Waited" takes place between the next-last and last scenes of this episode. It makes sense the Doctor would want to take the Ponds someplace special before dropping them off for good.
