Though minus two points for stealing a bit from The House on Haunted Hill.
Which bit was that?
Hands! Hands in new places!

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You don't have to hold my hand; I'm not holding your hand.

Compassionately intolerant
So creepy, and yet SO romantic.
I haven't liked any episode this season until this one.
Yay.
"You are the only mystery worth solving."
Sigh.

Art Crawl!!!
It was creepy and good.
Meanwhile , from Orphan Black:
Pull a full-on reverse Pygmalian
Loved that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The thing I like about Orphan Black is for the most part, I cannot predict where they are going. I am along for the ride.

I liked last night's Who a lot, too. Part of it was nostalgia. I started watching Doctor Who not long after the period in which last night's episode was set.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just continue to be blown away by Tatiana Maslany in this show. She does an amazing job of playing not just all the different clones, but then Sarah-as-Beth and Allison-as-Sarah too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I liked the episode too!
"You are the only mystery worth solving."
Sigh.
Yeah, she could also be, like, a person.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That time, I felt like he was talking about people in general, but the Doctor not thinking of companions as people doesn't surprise me in the least--to him they are puzzles. Puzzles and reins, and outsourced empathy.
He's not that good with people.

Yeah, but this is Mr. "I've never met anyone who wasn't important." He's not good with people, but he respects people as a part of the universe. I hadn't considered that he meant people in general with that line since he's so clearly focused on Clara-as-puzzle, but I was expecting a different sort of answer, given previous sentiments he'd expressed about great humans are.
