Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
My fairy tale bibles are the coloured fairy books. I have no idea how they rank in terms of One True Plot, but they're what I come back to to get righted. They are what I read first for most of the stories.
I make sure my ereaders are loaded up with as much of the spectrum as I can find.
NOTE: Tonight’s Doctor Who season premier airs in the UK at 11:20am board time. It airs in the US East Coast at 6:00pm board time, after which posts can be unwhitefonted.
Ooh, thanks for that info, Tom!
So who saw that twist coming? (Raises hand)
But how did she not sound like a Dalek to everyone?
I liked her, though.
I didn't.
I didn't stick around this Q&A long enough for the Qs--I just needed to see Dylan O'Brien in the background cooking dinner for him and Tyler P. Because they're doing the oh-man-series-on-location-let's-be-roomies thing. Makes me have baby show feels, remembering the days when the Js did shit like that.
OMG I just realized tonight that Rory is Wash. Amy is in no way, shape or form Zoe, but Rory is Wash. He IS that guy.
Eggs-TERMINATE!
I was a bit iffy on the ep at the beginning as it started off with 1) Amy and Rory divorced (!!! DO NOT WANT) and 2) featured Daleks, who have frankly long outstayed their welcome for me, nevermind that they are classic Whovian villains and Moffat's FAVOURITE, yada yada. But the show managed to hit some lovely emotional beats with Amy and Rory, and did enough new and interesting things with Daleks that it won me over by the end.
I also thought Oswin was a bit too precious and brilliant and spunky and... generally too much of everything at the beginning, but I gotta admit, the final reveal really got to me and made me like her a lot. But then, I am a sucker for the "left alone and unmoored in vast nothing and trying to hold onto his/her humanity" trope.
Also, I don't know how I can talk more about this episode without talking about the casting spoiler most people know about. Err, are we allowed to talk about it here under spoiler cut? 'Cause I'm spoiled for that one thing, but not anything else major and don't want to go to the spoiler thread and get myself more spoiled than I am currently and... OK, the word "spoiled" has lost all meaning. I guess I can discuss it elsewhere if it's not allowed here.
I tend to be a fan of that guy, so I'm pretty cool with that.
I'm not really much of a fan of the skinjobs.
eta: Vonnie is me on the whitefont.
Who: I should've seen the twist coming, but I did not!
How did the Doctor get the Tardis on the Dalek ship? And how were Rory & Amy cured of the nano-bots? Were either of those things explained and I missed it? (Which is quite possible -- I constantly find myself missing bits of dialogue on this show)
How about the spoilers-lite thread for that thing Vonnie wants to talk about?
