Did anyone watch 666 Park Avenue last night? And, if so, is it worth watching?
I'm not fully hooked, but it was interesting enough that I'm willing to give it a few more episodes.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
how would she even know when and where to begin looking for her parents?
Is this the same River that can fall out of one spaceship into the Tardis? Her parents are, relatively speaking, sitting ducks.

I guess so. It's probably something I could handwave away if I didn't feel that the rest of the episode was such a mess.

Given that they found River in the first place, she must be able to do something to inject herself into the situation. So I was taking that as written.

I guess I want to believe the afterword and the gravestone that indicated a long life together, and I'll just assume a certain amount of good and bad as with most people. But it does seem to me that they were together, and I think that was the most important thing for both of them.
I was actually just glad not to have my heart ripped out the way it was with Donna. I felt bad for the Doctor, and Rory and Amy, being ripped out of their timeline and away from their family, friends, and the Doctor. But I was glad that they lived, remembered, and were together -- or, at least, that's what I took away from the show. Not ideal for them, and not ideal at all for their families, but it could have been worse. Donna's family made out better, certainly, though her dad obviously had some residual guilt to deal with having been the reason the Doctor had to "die."
I think I'll choose to believe the link Fiona posted up thread.

I'm not sure we have the technology to measure cuteness of that degree.

First world complaint. Not only is the DW season finale not posted on on-demand, all of season 7 has now vanished from on-demand.

Yeah, I had to go to xfinity online to get it. But it's there.
