Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I read an article where Mazzara said there was a difference of opinion between himself and the network regarding what direction the series should go in. Hey idiots, let the guy who's doubled the series audience and gotten tons of critical acclaim while doing so do the steering!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Definitely not a good sign.

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

Fury made the littlest observer cry.

He made me cry, too.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is it possible to watch today's Doctor Who online? BBCA is the only cable channel not working for me today. Have I mentioned recently how much I hate Charter?

Man, I set up the ahem for the new Doctor Who, forgetting that I have Bbca. Silly me.

Tonight's Doctor Who:

Hmm. I don't know how I feel about that episode. I do hope they give the new companion something to do other than being arch, because she's wearing on me quickly.

Compassionately intolerant

Following on Dana's comment...I know it will be sacrilege but, I like Clara much more than Amy .

I take the point about relentless arch-i-tude, but I felt she had much more spark and fun in her .

I absolutely adored Strax . "Sir, I am opposed to your present apathy." Lurve.

The one thing I found a bit jarring was the Doctor's mood swings.

Oh, and the remarkable convenience of the memory worm. That was lame.

Still, I enjoyed it.

eta: Oh and, much as I love him, I wasn't thrilled to hear Ian McKellan as the big bad. It threw me right out of the story to have Gandalf the Magnetic being all threateny .

I'm also not sure how I feel about the new Ikea/Scandinavian design for the Tardis. I much preferred the organic nature of the 9/10/early 11 designs. Though I suppose it harkens back to the more angular models of the original series.

Though fairly underused, I thought Richard Grant was good in his part. His expression speaks volumes.
