You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

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.

Is this going to be a regular thing? "Oh, my God! They killed Kenny Oswin! You Bastards"

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

No, I was thinking they could kill off Jenna-Louise Coleman's character every single episode.

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

I was kind of wondering that too, which would be slightly hilarious.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

There was a lot of eye-rolling on my part that they AGAIN had the Doctor and the new companion macking this early in their acquaintance.

That felt wee bit too frantic, although mostly enjoyable. I am confused about Clara's part-time barmaid / part-time governess set-up, but had fun with subversion of the whole Turn-of-the-Screw scenario. Favourite bits were the Mr. Alien Potato-head (Stranx?) and the Madame Lizard Detective and Jenny. Am a bit concerned about Clara/Oswin because I don't think I can take this level of HYPER-SAUCY-DIALED-TO-11 all the time. Spirited and resourceful, yes. But the aggressively flirty banter between the two wearied me.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Wait, who was the voice of the snow? I thought it sounded like Patrick Stewart, not Ian McKellan.

Nope, just checked IMDB and no shit. Coulda sworn, especially after seeing Ted recently.

Also, Richard E. Grant and Christopher Walken are starting to look a hell of a lot alike.

I did too, until I checked the credits. I think they're blending into one badass distinguished British guy.

That was Ian McKellan? Hah. I did think it was Stewart, until later in the program I decided I was wrong.

I thought it was Michael Gambon when I first heard it.
