Buffy ,'Showtime'
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.
Rory is Wash. He IS that guy.
I don't know what "that" means here. I feel Rory is an impromptu soldier in a way that Wash deliberately not. The time where Wash engages, he's getting into a side of his wife' life that he knows nothing of, and he's awkward although they're successful.
That contrast doesn't exist for me with Amy and Rory. Amy's obviously less martial than Zoe, but Rory is more mano a mano than Wash.
Vonnie, I watched both cuts, and neither explained the presence of the TARDIS. Can it be moved by others?
The Weeping Angels moved it in "Blink."
Ok. I assumed that it would be possible to forklift it.
I guess it's possible to manually just pick up and move the TARDIS instead of making it transport the usual way? I probably weighs a lot more than it looks though!
Is this why we are supposed to pick our men's clothes?
Oh, this made me laugh.
I find the new opening credit sequence on Grimm to be kind of cheeseball. But I'm loving Hank. And Monroe and Rosalee. And Sgt. Wu. And even Nick's mom although I get Alias flashbacks when dead parents show up.
So that's what the Dalek's eggbeater is for. Soufflés!
When they first arrive at the Dalek Parliament and the Doctor tells Amy to make them remember her, does that make him being erased from the Dalek collective memory kind of ominous?
I really hate that "I'm giving you up for your own good" thing Amy was pulling, So so much.
Yeah, I found that bit striking, especially considering how much it's mattered, the Dalek's response to the doctor. I kinda don't care for the humanizing thing. It seems more like a Cybermen or borg move. The Daleks are their own species. Or were.
Totally hate the giving you up for your own good thing. Especially considering their history, Rory would deserve a clean breakup if they were going to. It's a loss of agency that Amy, having been denied agency in the past, would surely have recognized and not propagated at this point in her life.
It's a very Cybermen thing, now that you mention it.
Creepy effect, though.
Yeah, I was appropriately creeped out by it in the moment, but on reflection, I didn't really like it. Although maybe because it's coming directly on the tails of my rewatching the Rose/Dalek interactions.
Sigh. I miss Christopher Eccleston.
