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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
never in all that did she ever say anything like, "You'd be better off without me, you can go be a dad with another woman"?
I think she knew Rory and that if she said that, he'd never leave. Infertility can mess with a person's head pretty badly, especially considering how she became infertile. I guess she thought she was damaged goods and that she was doing the kindest thing for Rory. Not at all wise, but I understand it.
It makes Amy in particular look like an idiot, even though I appreciate that discovering her reproductive system had been severely messed with would be really traumatic.
If only we ever saw Amy actually dealing with (even for like 2 minutes) anything that happened to her last year. She was kidnapped, mentally violated, lost her daughter and never got to raise her, and now we find out that she was also physically violated in some way--and this is never really addressed. Instead we get weird almost-divorces that appear out of nowhere and are solved in the length of an episode.
I always feel weirdly protective of Amy's character because Karen Gillan does a great job, but Moffat keeps making her seem like she's borderline insane. I don't blame Amy the character for anything because the writing is so obviously bad. And I know that it started last season, but I still really hate the fact that she became a model. That doesn't seem like anything Amelia Pond would be interested in.

That's my take on it. They've got an O Henry kind of love.
I do wish I'd seen all of Pond Life before watching Asylum, because the left field near-divorce is less left field after that.
(They keep putting all this character stuff in the extras. Did it last season, too. Drat them.)
Also, hey! Yasim from The Last Enemy was a Dalek! I was so distracted by having Anamaria Marinca on my screen again that I think I may have missed some crucial things.
But how did she not sound like a Dalek to everyone?
This and how the Doctor got the TARDIS on the Dalek ship are the two things that make me scratch my head, but I admit that I wasn't thinking about them during the show, and then I came here immediately, so I'm not sure they would have occurred to me. But now I can't forget! Oh, well. I liked it a lot anyway.
The almost-divorce caught me way off guard, but the resolution scenes were were well-done and gave me feels, so whatever. I can't wait for next week's episode, "Dinosaurs! On a SPACE ship!"

She got a hold of the doohickey Roy Skelton used and turned it around?
Seriously, I assumed that since she was hacking into something or other to make her transmission, she could use whatever voice she wanted. It's not like there was a mic in the room where she was being held.
So she was broadcasting Carmen to the Dalek ship WITH HER MIND?
I can't wait for next week's episode, "Dinosaurs! On a SPACE ship!"
AKA RUPERT GRAVES! ON A SPACE SHIP!
Wibbly-wobbly, voicey-woicey.
Rupert Graaaaaaaves. Have I mentioned that the sight of Rupert Graves frolicking buck nekkid in A Room with the View had a formative influence on Young Vonnie? Can't wait! He looks even better now with salt-and-pepper hair than he did as a callow youth, I have to say.
