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.

'The Killer In Me'
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.

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.

Thank you. I tried to look for the air date but the internet didn't behave.
So. Instead of going through the motions of everything that is horribly wrong with Moffat's ideas for DW, I'll ask this: anyone else thinks Angel's Are You Now or Have You Ever Been a was much better version of the story?

And reconsidering just how much can you/do you need to trust others, who happen to be human beings, while you're not.
