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.
In my house we are discussing why they became the Williams and not the Ponds. They were so much the Ponds that Melody was Pond (for the clever retcon around her name). I say to create a new identity apart from the Doctor (with his Mr Pond thing). Not quite sure though - it's a little irritating.
I think the age thing on the graves was just about her outliving him. Plenty of women outlive their husbands.
I liked the episode. Amy's been my favourite companion. Want the rest of the season though - way too short.
Well, he can't get back to New York at that time, but I don't see why they can't leave it. It would have been an issue while the Angels still had it on lockdown, but after the paradox poisoning? No sense. All he couldn't do was change when they died and where they were buried, right? Once the book was written...or did adding the note at the end lock things in? That would have been funny.
In a not funny at all way, totes.
but I don't see why they can't leave it
This is the part I didn't quite understand. Are they stuck in that room for the rest of their lives?
The hotel disappeared, so no. And Amy got a book published, so I'm assuming not isolated, but normal.
Was it more that they didn't want him to find them again? The whole 'We have to choose' thing from last week. Otherwise I'm having trouble understanding where that fits in. The season arc was following a trajectory along those lines, but appeared to abandon it with this episode.
Would that stop him? He said something like "You realise this means I will never see you again?"
I didn't see her tell him to leave them alone either.
You're right. That scene felt rushed and I wondered if we were missing something (in script editing?) - as it was, it definitely wasn't text.
I have no idea how that made any sense at all. Seriously: there was a great deal of handwaving and no logic, so far as I can tell.
But hey, it was quite scary in spots. And we got a lot of River, which is always good in my mind.
DW: judging by the discussion in non-spoiler font, I can write freely here, right?
It aired in the US last night, so yes.
