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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I really liked the speech, what with the passion and the crying and all.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Actually Clara won the shouting match. And no it makes no sense: the leaf satiated Grandfather with the overwhelming quantity of nummy possibilities? But Dr. Who resolutions often make no sense. The delivery of the patter was quite good.

The status is NOT quo.

I missed the Susan reference.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

When they first land on the planet which looks like the Cantina scene from Star Wars, the Doctor mentions how he first came here a very long time ago, with his grand-daughter.

In other news, we have a Doctor Puppet: [link]

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

DW: What P-C said. I liked the concepts but thought the execution was lousy. Could they have included any more singing? And could they have repeated any more of the flashbacks at the end? It's like the script ran short and they needed filler.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

What Jon said.

Since I've seen almost no Classic Who, I heard the granddaughter mention, but didn't really get it (but could tell I was missing a reference).

Anybody else catch the Douglas Adams reference? When the Doctor was pointing out the different species to Clara, he said one of them was a "hooloovoo".

Adams was a writer on Who, at least during the Tom Baker years.

I didn't think it was as strong a second episode with new companion as Beast Below, but it's still better than the pirate episode.
