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.
Well, the Observer in the diner did say "They can never know the boy lived to be a man," which contradicts that Peter never existed, which is the distinct impression they gave last season, of course, so, in conclusion, I don't know.
I can't imagine Joe F was only hired for that brief appearance, so I'm guessing he'll be back. He is so engaging. I miss him! Weirdly, I just watched the SGA ep last night where he turned into that hybrid bug thing, so it was kind of funny to see him in Fringe with ooky transformed skin again. (My internet connection went out last night, which meant no Fringe until this morning, which meant SGA DVDs last night. Funny!)
Wyman has implied that Walter would've gone over for some other reason. They had the window into the other side. Scientific curiosity or military pressure to develop technology? Who knows?
Or it could be that Peter did exist as a boy, but died in both worlds. I wondered about that when Walter said that sometimes people die twice.
If Peter died as a boy, I wonder if his "mother" didn't die? Her guilt wouldn't have lasted nearly as long.
Timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly stuff.
Hey, so, David Hewlett is in tonight's Sci-Fi movie! I believe I will watch. I miss him on my screen, too.
It's called Morlocks.
No comment on tonight's Who? It was fun, fine old school Who in my opinion (apart from the setup stuff at the end). However the setup stuff made me think back on the season and is giving me a theoretical headache.
The Amy/Rory cameo was hysterical. I thought they were going to get pulled in by the end of the episode, which could have worked, but I'm glad they weren't.

Me too. Timelines and shit.

Well, as far as I can recall, there IS still another Doctor running around out there. He shouldn't have a Tardis unless he's always been ASDFLKASDLF:AKSDFA:SLDFKS:FLKSDFLASKFS:LFSF:LSAKF:L
And that's where the headache starts.
I loved the name Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All. It was a fun ep, and I did feel sad for the Doctor getting ready to die die, not just regenerate. And the shushing thing, ha. I can't think about the timey-wimey stuff. I just can't.
Oh, and his name tag, The Doctor, Here to Help. Indeed.
Craig is extremely likable.
I am totally calling dibs on "Stormageddon" as my firstborn's in utero nickname.
It was very nice, if a bit much with beating the Cybermen through love.
Another "Dad's Love" story, which, now that we have confirmation that it was River in the suit (It seemed too obvious, but it was still my best explanation), I think will be significant. I don't know how, exactly, but I expect that Rory will save the day with the Power of Paternal Love.
I fear that this will end up meaning that Melody never becomes (became?) River* because that ties together a lot of threads for the season. We still haven't resolved Something's Weird With Amy's Timeline/Backstory, though
* By which I mean that she grows up/will grow up as Melody with her parents instead. Time travel plays havok with tenses. I bet Gallifreyan has 20.
